Really nice Japanese BBQ place with high quality meat and ingredients. We enjoy the Wagyu combo and had a few add ons this last visit. The meat is well marbled, soft and melts in your mouth and delicious. The both times we have gone we’ve had the pleasure of being served by John. He knows his stuff, and explains everything really well. We enjoyed the course where he came to grill up the beef tongue “tacos”. The whole dinner course is very well paced and we never felt rushed. The side dishes that come with the dinner are also a nice touch. The ambiance is nice and a perfect spot for a date night or celebrating an anniversary.

The food tastes delicious and have many options. The guy who was grilling for the table didn’t ask me whether I want to take pictures or not. He just started to grill even thought he saw me preparing to take pictures. I recommend the rice in the video, I forgot what’s the name of it.

Great service! Our server, John was very nice and knowledgeable! The food was amazing. The combo is expensive but so worth it. The different cuts of meat just melt in your mouth. Highly recommend going!

Absolutely delicious. Menu was expansive and had a little something for anyone’s specific taste. The quality of the meat was absolutely astonishing, marbling seemed to at least be MBS 3 throughout all the beef selections we had and was mouth watering per my wife’s opinion, I firmly agreed. The only downside is the area of the location and it not being the safest, but I’d still recommend Niku niku to anyone.

Ordered the combo meal they had and it was just enough food for two! We also upgraded our rice entree to an unagi don, super filling! I made reservations before going and was seated a few minutes after serving. Highly recommend to make reservations! The meat was all seasoned well and you cook the meat to your liking!

The venue is clean and welcoming, we got there at 8pm and were told their kitchen closes at 8:30pm, so we had to rush to order our food. Each plate comes beautifully decorated and was delicious. We got the combo meal plus multiple additional sides to cater for 4 people.

Awesome vibe in the restaurant and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Our waiter showed us how to cook each piece of meat and gave lots of tips on how to cook it perfectly as well as sake suggestions.

The restaurant is clean and very well ventilated. They kept changing the grill regularly while we were barbecuing. Their service is great and the meat taste so delicious. Definitely coming back again to try the Japanese wagyu

Absolutely amazing. We did the wagyu combo and it was the best meat experience I’ve had. Sometimes steak restaurants don’t quite quench the meat craving, but man this place did. You’re not going to get a lot of sides and dressings here like you would with kbbq, but that’s okay because it’s exactly what we were going for. We also got two different rice dishes which I’d HIGHLY recommend. Everything was so good. We’ll definitely be coming back

Ordered wyagu combo with wagyu top cap and unagi don. The wyagu was worth the price, something about it makes it so tender! I’ve had better japanese wyagu but I came in with decent expectations and this place did not disappoint. The unagi don was very plain. It feels like they microwaved the eel and put it on top of the rice, would not recommend.
