The Scene
Nikko's atmosphere is clean, bright and uncomplicated, with light wooden booths and tables. Jazz tunes float in the background. Such simplicity makes the colorful dishes stand out even more. If you need assistance identifying your choices, you can refer to the tabletop illustrated guides. This isn't just food, it's an adventure.
The Food
Put your trust in the hands of your server and you might end up with the daily special Super Crunchy Roll (with shrimp tempura) or the "Sushi for Two" plate. Both are excellent choices, although the quantity rightfully could be called "Sushi for Many." The combination of 20-something pieces of sashimi and maki arrives at the table delicately arranged and presented in a ship-shaped box. Lunch is more subdued and less filling. The perfect-sized meal fits in a bento box--a divided tray--of California rolls and sushi: tuna, salmon, white fish and crab.

Went to Nikko's after having heard about it for so long, and I can't hide my disappointment. The restaurant is cool with a great design, in a nice neighborhood, and the ambiance is fun. However, the food is just plain average. Uninspired, sauces were store bought quality. Not a place to go for sushi connaisseurs.

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 restaurant. Our server was great, the food was outstanding, and overall our experience was very pleasant. We tried the tuna crunchy roll at our server's suggestion, and it was incredibly delicious. I will tell all of my friends about this place, and I will definitely be back. P.S. Order the Saki Bombs, You wont forget it!

Poor service. Unprofessional treatment. Had 9:00 reservation for back room for 20 guests (Surprise 30th birthday). Arrived at 8:30, NOT SEATED BY 9:00. Questioned hostess who reported 7:00 reservation did not arrive until 8:00, and had just been served. Were not seated until10:45. Service very poor. Mnanger/owner had agreed to comp a round of drinks. When bills arrived this had not been done. Owner had left the building. When we complained, staff threatened to call police. Food was good as always, but attitude of owner and staff uncaring and irresponsible.
