If your not into chic, then take yourself somewhere else – Went to Nikko again (one of dozens) this past Friday. Pulled up a seat at the bar with a couple of friends and ordered some good drinks. Bartender (forgot his name) from Jersey was good conversation without being invasive and poured some good drinks. We ordered some edamame appetizers as well as a chicken and shrimp dinner...All fantastic, as usual. I'm not sure why all these people complain about the noise and atmosphere of this place. If you are from around here yo... read more

The food is irrelevant - you just pray for they'll turn down the deafening music. – Nikko in South End used to have good sushi in a pleasant atmosphere. Those days are gone. Now they're in sleek noisy space - not my favorite, but I can handle it when it's reasonable. Not here. The owner apparently has trouble getting enough attention in the larger space, so she has to periodically turn the bar music up to a deafening level and run up and down the aisle in a cowboy hat banging a tambourine. Seriously! Apparently this is to ce... read more

Rude/Horrible Service-- BEWARE of MENU!! – I visited Nikko's for the first time and ordered Chicken Fried Rice. However when the bill came I saw that I was charged for a Teriyaki Chicken. I requested a manager. To my surprise, the manager told me: ?We have a ?You eat it, you buy it? policy here. You ate Teriyaki chicken, so we?ll need to charge you for it.? I explain to him that I understand an ?I eat it, I buy it policy,? however I was not aware that I was being served something other than what I ordered! Now, I realize tha... read more

Nikkos ruined my night – I can't stand birthday parties at Nikkos. Wait, I can't stand Nikkos! What's not to love about a posh restaurant? EVERYTHING! It's over-priced, over-crowded, over-hyped, over the time limit I allow myself to wait for a table, and over-decorated. Well, the decorations aren't that bad...it's only the one picture of the owner (hanging by the bathroom) that really creeps me out! Speaking of decorations, if I do have to wait forever for a table and pay big bucks for beverages and food, I don't want to be ... read more

5 star my a$$ – 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 fifteen minutes for the bartender to find new bottle), a wait time of over an hour (after having a reservation), a non-existent server. I swear his name was Hudini. He disappeared every time I needed something. He only re-appeared to drop off the bill- which was 5-star quality - over priced! I'm not really in... read more

Don't go to Nikko unless you want to get frustrated – I have been the new Nikko several times and have been more disappointed with each and every visit. I really like the idea of this place and at one time was hopeful that they could get thier act together. Just when I think the experience can't get any worse, I am shown a new low in customer service and arrogance. The average quality sushi, overpriced and watered down drinks, snobby hostesses and slow service is only outdone by the insanely narcissistic and irritating owner... read more

Bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad! – I can't believe that there is a single good review of this place on this forum. Everything that the negative reviews have to say is 100% correct especially regarding the hostesses and terrible service. The sushi is average and waaaay overpriced for what you get. Don't even get me started on the owner. I recomend not going here unless you are into social masochism.

Atrocious service and sub par sushi – I am not at all a fan of the new Nikko restaurant location. At first it looks like a very upscale and inviting atmostphere to enjoy sush in the Queen city. Unfortunately this is all ruined as soon as the staff opens their mouth. The hostesses are rude and discourteous, the service is slow and the sushi is mediocre and not worth the inflated price. I have heard equally terrible things about the bar however I cannot speak of them first hand. I think the only reason this place is doing well... read more

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER – The management of this place clearly doesn't care about their patrons. They decided to put on a 'fashion show' at 8:00 on a Wednesday and not allow our server to bring us food or drinks during the 30 minute show. The manager actually yelled at our waiter for trying to bring us the drinks we ordered, and yelled at me for trying to return from the bathroom during a 'tango demonstration.' This is after I paid over $30 for my meal. They did not mention that any of these events were going on while we were ... read more
