    It started as not good as no one was there to seat us despite a reservation , we called through the kitchen as we see people there . It took 15 minutes before someone came to the hostess table . It was a good thing that the good was superb delicious . The lamb chop was well cook and tasty. The filled dates salad was so good as well . And the free bread love it

    I come to Niwa weekly and there’s a reason I always keep coming back! Joe, Steven, Alex and Angel are always wonderful and pay close attention to my allergies. The food is fantastic and not overpriced. Jimmy has stopped by my table a few times on separate occasions and is always an absolute gem to talk to. The food, staff and ambiance are 1000/10 and I will always recommend this place to everyone I know! If you can’t make up your mind when looking at the menu a few of my favorites are the filet, hanger steak, 44 farms short rib, pork jowl, zucchini, mushroom medley, ajitama eggs, wagyu deviled eggs and you can’t leave without getting a bag of the spicy OG Wagyu Boyz beef jerky, it is to die for!
