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!

Came in on Sunday and tried the ayce portion. Pretty solid deal for carnivores like myself who didn’t want to drive all the way to Carrollton. We had “A” as our server; we sort of saw them everyonce in a while. They came in more often toward the end when less people were there. It was just the husband and I; and I saw there was a 20% gratuity. Nothing was said about that before, during, or after and I’m not mad it. Glad I caught it when I was brought the check. Either way; tipped an extra 5%. Just let some people know before they get angry or something, y’know?
