Nikko Japanese Restaurant & Sushi Bar

I recently dined at Nikko Japanese Restaurant and Sushi Bar and opted for the Veggie Yaki Soba. The dish was a delightful medley of fresh, colorful vegetables stir-fried to perfection, complemented by the savory flavors of the soba noodles. The presentation was impeccable, and the portion size was generous. I recommend Nikko for a satisfying and flavorful dining experience!

We had the most amazing time! The atmosphere is a whole vibe. It is loud once the DJ starts but we came to dance too, so we were all about it. The bartender gave such a good drink selection based on what I wanted. We tried plenty of dishes & all were good. I was hoping the sushi would wow me & was all type disappointed after hearing from some friends. Maybe I just didn’t get the right specialty rolls. I tried the Hawaiian Pokey Roll and the tomatoes were a first for me when it comes to being added to sushi. (Not sure I loved it.) Looking forward to next time & trying a few more dishes.

Nikko’s is an Awesome place, Period🪭🏮🎉 Joanna Nix started Nikko’s in 1999, & has built a great place for food, fun and enjoyment. It’s been recently remodeled and its decor is elegant sheik Japanese. You can’t go wrong with the Sushi Boat🍣which has great Sashimi & Sushi selections from the freshest available. Great for 2-3 people. The hibachi items are also very delicious & tender. Nikko’s has a great wine, saki, & beer selections. Try the Lychee Martini🍸, it is wonderful😊 with nice sweetness! The staff is always excellent and very attentive to everyone, making the service top notch! Nikko’s is very popular on Friday & Saturday nights after 8-9pm, reservations are a good idea👍. Joanna’s Nikko’s has a large following over many years with the Uptown business crowd & professional athletes( even the visiting teams ), including the younger night-lifers💃🏻🕺🏻 Nikko’s is ALWAYS a good choice in Charlotte 👏

For sushi I'd say it's one of the better places in the city, but a touch short of the best. A little off in one respect or another. It's definitely got a vibe. I get the impression it gets clubby at night, which isn't my jam, but for lunch during the week it was pretty chill. Fish in their display case - some looked great, some looked so-so. The stuff that came out with my nigiri was good though, for sure. Nice knife work and preparation. Putting a wad of horseradish "wasabi" on top of uni seems like an odd choice; I'd take that right off. Service - okay, but a little slow. It's worth a shout.

Fantastic food & service! Unfortunately, this is not a kid friendly establishment, but I can't bring myself to give it less than 5 stars because the food was impeccable. Our service was also, on point. I must warn, we waited quite a while for the kitchen to prepare our food once the restaurant got really busy. Considering the 50% capacity due to covid-19, I cannot imagine this place full. This is an issue that should be looked into by management.

The best way to describe this place would be Sushi Meets Night Club. I came in and the clients were freak dancing at the front door. The DJ was playing Missy Elliot, and everyone seemed to be having a good time. The drinks were pretty good and the staff was attentive to their best. It gets packed up at the front bar on the weekends. I’ve been here during the week and things are slower. I really enjoy coming here.
