I recently visited Nikko on South Blvd about 2 Weeks ago, and I must say it was amazing. We had a reservation for 6 on a Friday night. When we arrived we were promptly sat in a round booth in the middle of the...

I find it interesting how nearly everyone that I know that has gone to Nikko's has had an obscenely horrible experience. These experiences range from; the bar staff, hostesses, waitresses, the food, management...

if you like eating in a loud loud clubing music, you would probably like it. Food quality is good, but the price is at the same time very high. Very distracting eating atmosphere besides the loud music. You...

If you want loud music in a neat atmosphere...less the owner running up and down the aisle with a cowboy hat yelling, this is the place! Feels like you are in New York until you ask for service!

Nikko is divine! The sushi is delicious and the new location is gorgeous. The Super Crunch roll is my favorite; the veggie tempura is an excellent starter. If you're looking for a fun night out with delicious...

Shouldn't a "5-star" restaurant have 5-star service? Well, if we're talking about Nikkos, I guess not. I suppose it's ok to have a rude hostess, bartenders that give you a dirty wine glass (after waiting...

I used to love Nikko's, but since they've moved, it's become more of a place to see & be seen. I wish it were still a cozy little sushi place and not such a nightclub atmosphere.
