We ordered the sashimi salad, fuji, geisha, and popcorn roll. I really enjoyed the salad. It had a lot of sashimi and I was nearly full off of that! I could only take a few bites of the rolls before feeling completely stuffed! For salmon, the Fuji roll was a little too rich for me so I would opt for the genki or lemon roll next time. The geisha roll was good and the popcorn roll was just crazy! I feel like that could feed 4 people! I enjoyed the crunchy crayfish on top but it's just too much for two people. After trying a few sushi places in the area, I think this is the best one so far. We also got a nice discount on rolls during happy hour so we will definitely be back!

So, of course, I look on Yelp and came across Nko Niko sushi, which is regarded as one of the best sushi spots in Redlands. I actually went as far as double checking on reddit and the votes were definitely in! This place seemed legit so I had to try it. It's located in a shopping plaza so there is plenty of parking. There are several restaurants in the area, while Niko Niko is tucked away near the water fountains out front. As I arrived, they quickly sat me at the bar area and my typical rainbow roll and I tried their snow cone roll. The rolls were so good and the fish was fresh! I loved the sweet sauce that was added to the snow cone roll. After about 20 mins, the chef, who's name is Yaser, started asking me what my favorite fish is and why I like it. I told him Albacore and he instantly makes me some concoction with ponzu sauce which was fire. He then asked me if I like salmon and I told him yes and he makes me a seared salmon roll with orange sauce and pepper. By this time I'm stuffed but enjoying this experience. He made going to a sushi restaurant interesting again like when I first tried sushi. We start talking about Japan and he ask me if I ever had salmon skin. I tell him absolutely not and that when I bake salmon I usually take the skin off. He then tells me that I HAVE to try a salmon skin handroll so I figured I should just go with it. My mind was blown!! I actually like salmon skin lol. It was so good! Overall, I had an amazing experience at Niko Niko and Chef Yaser. I left him a generous tip for the experience and he changed the way I will forever dine at a sushi bar now. If you're in the area, please stop at Niko for some fresh tasty sushi and an excellent sushi experience with sushi chef's that know what they're doing. OOOOO 5 out of 5 Afros

First thing I noticed were 2 Japanese ladies eating inside. Good sign! Was clean, plenty of seating, liked the solid granite tables. The "new" owner is this young guy who bought the place 3 years ago when the previous owner retired. He was working hard as the only waiter and 2 chefs in the back and bar. For lunch, i had the 12-pc sashimi (all fish) for $20...did I say 11 pieces?!? Man it was totemo Oishikatta!!! Probably some of the best sashimi I've had outside of Tokyo. Even my Japanese Nihonjin partner agreed it was very good (and she's a picky Japanese eater!). I liked that it was all fish cuts so I didn't have to sub or ask for sub for seafood I don't eat (bottom-dwellers, scavenger seafood). Shihoko-san had the salmon bento box and it was also very tasty. Of course we had to have the edamame appetizer. Overall excellent and we plan to be back! Glad it's nice and local here in Redlands.

He has made some great additions to the ambience and lighting, and the restaurant feels more inviting every time we come in. It's clear James genuinely cares about making this restaurant successful and goes above and beyond for his customers. We got the Premium All You Can Eat menu, and everything was absolutely delicious. The carpaccio is top of the line and easily one of our favorites. The sushi was fresh, the quality was excellent, and we also got a 60 oz pitcher of Sapporo for only $17, which is a great deal. James is clearly working extremely hard to improve this business, and it shows. After coming here for years, I can confidently say Maki Yaki just keeps getting better every time we visit. Definitely deserves five stars! Yelp Elite, tell your friends!

So let's cover the big questions first:…read more 1) No, it is NOT AYCE. But they give you bang for your buck and what they make is delicious. 2) No, it is not omakase. This is not a fancy Japanese restaurant with fish flown in from across the world. It is not catch of the day, we're in Loma Linda. The ocean is at least an hour away. Chill. But here is what is important. What they advertise is GREAT. Spicy garlic edamame? Delicious and a huge portion. A low carb roll with decent fish and a good dipping sauce? Done deal. For $16.99, they give you a nice sized roll with plenty to share. Stuffed, deep fried mushrooms that are fresh? Let's name it "monkey brains" and make it one if the better appetizers I have had in awhile. And the jalapeño bomb is worth the trip. The popcorn lobster salad is a great alternative if you like popcorn lobster rolls but don't want the extra carbs. If you like simple, but delicious food, this place is pretty great. And they have a decent happy hour as well.
