Nikko Japanese Rstrnt & Sushi

Best Sushi Anywhere. I have had sushi in countries all over the world and nothing compares to NIKKO. At Nikko they have freash sushi prepared in new flavors and ways that not only is it excellent to eat but a piece of art to see. Many friends from all over the US who visit me in Charlotte ask for Nikko as the first restaurant to go. It is a fun, loud atmosphere which is what many of us want. To be in heaven, get Dynamite Cracker, Sexy Salmon, Dancing Queen, Volcano Roll and the Lobster Roll. You will not get these delicacies at any other place.…

Average. If you're looking for a place before going out this is the place for you. It's is extremely loud after 9pm, to the point where you are yelling at each other to get your thoughts across. The service is not bad when you can spot your waiter. The menu is a bit pricey compared to other restaurants, I'd assume you're paying a little extra just to be seen.…

Best Sushi in Charlotte. I lived in Charlotte for 4 years, and even with all the growth and new restaurants Nikko is a staple that anyone visiting Charlotte should check out. You can't go wrong with any of the rolls. My personal favorites are the Trust Me II Roll,the Rainbow Roll, and the Bagel Deluxe Roll.

The scene is high energy on the weekends with the owner walking around shaking a tambourine, and club music playing while you dine. During the week it is low key, with a great patio to dine on.…

How they think Japanese food should be. As an avid Asian food fan, Japanese especially - we were really looking forward to this restaurant. The music was a little loud for our liking - but it suited the atmosphere, so that is just a personal choice. The service was quite quick and friendly, though this could have been due to it being a slow night.

But the food - Miso soup no complaints. Goza - there was no dipping sauces to go with this ..... But the sushi platter was a different story. The sushi rice was dry and the fish was a little dry on the top - suggesting that this had not been made fresh. The ginger was so old and tasteless that it was merely for decoration.

Overall - perhaps if you have never eaten Japanese, then you might like it here, however for those among us that actually know what good Sushi is like - then avoid eating here. Perhaps try their 'other Japanese style' dishes - though I wish you the best of luck with this.…
