   The food and drinks are amazing at Niku! We really enjoyed our steaks, the pig ears, and all of the sides. The cocktails were very good and the bartenders were extremely friendly. We sat at the bar because our table wasn’t quite ready and the bartenders gave us some good recommendations from the menu. There are a few improvements needed. First, our service could have been much better. Our server had long gray hair and he was nice. His speeches felt canned and he rushed us through service. I was upset that he was making me order my glass of wine for the steak when our appetizer had just come out and I was only half way through my first drink. Never fun to have a wine that doesn’t need to breathe sit out in it’s glass during the dinner. He was often not paying attention to us, so we would often get the things we needed from a nice other server who was a delight. When dessert came, we were disappointed by the apple dessert. It tasted bland and definitely had no hint of apple. For the price, there were needed improvements, but overall a nice experience.

   We decided to dine at Niku for NYE and was surprised that there wasn’t a pre-fix or special menu. There wasn’t appealing music to set the ambiance either. We’ve dined at several Michelin restaurants that offered this for NYE. The wait staff was impeccable and did upsell when feasible. I wasn’t too impressed with the NY Strip steak however; the Wagyu was tender and literally melted in my mouth. The sides were underwhelming with the exception of the broccolini. I personally felt at their prices the food and ambiance could have been better.

   The food is always fantastic with very attentive service. We celebrated NYE at Niku, and it did not disappoint. We were lucky enough to be seated in the back room. Thanks again Niku!!

   We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Niku Steakhouse. We enjoyed sitting at the chef table. Everything and everyone was top notch. We started with a fabulous cocktail. The Chicory salad and beef tartare were so delicious ! Then we had the wagyu tasting, the petite filet, ( with the wine pairing) the Wagyu fat potatoes and ended with …. Wagyu fat brownie. Decadent and exemplary in every way. We’d highly recommend and look forward to going back.

   My experience was a let down if I am being honest. First of all, the menu is EXTREMELY limited for a steak house! As if that’s not enough, they use peanut oil for quite a few items on the menu, there by taking away options from the already limited menu! My guest who is severely allergic to peanut couldn’t have much at the restaurant. In this day and age, that is a complete NO NO! Also, the portions were VERY SMALL!! Definitely not a place you go if you are very hungry. The drinks were okay, service was very good. I won’t be going back. Not a bad restaurant just not for me. The experience I had was disappointing. Going to Nikki left me apologizing to my out of town guest profusely, even after spending more than $700 there! Unacceptable

    We went there for my husband's birthday, from our arrival to the moment we left, the personnel were very attentive and cared about every detail. We had the crispy pork ear, which was a little too sweet for my taste, but still good and delicious bone marrow to start. After that we had the tomahawk, it was really tender and juicy (you can easily share it among 3 - 4 people). Drinks are also 👌. To finish we had the lemon chiboust dessert as recommended by our waitress but we were not sure about the combination between cilantro and ice cream. Great experience in general.
