Nikko Japanese Restaurant

Came in with friends for my birthday, had to move my reservation for 10 people back an hour and they were very accommodating on a Saturday night. The host was nice and chatted with my sister and I. 5 people showed up that I wasn’t expecting and they still took care of us. Big shoutout to the owner Joanna, she was adorable and she danced with my friends and I. Honestly don’t even care about the food I’ll come back again just to see her!

I have heard so many great things about the restaurant & I have decided to finally check it out. The service was amazing, the food was great! I will definitely be coming here often! I order coconut shrimp & white rice!Food: 5/5

Charlotte is one of my absolute favorite cities. I visit multiple times per year. I've been to Nikko several times for dine in as well as take out and every time they never miss. Parking can be confusing as Nikko is at the corner of Arlington Ave and South Blvd. If you've ever been to Charlotte, then you know South Blvd is a very busy street so you can't really tell where to park. If you turn down Arlington and go all the way to back, there is a parking garage attached to the building to your right. Be careful to read the signage to know what levels to park so you do not get towed. Parking is free. Nikko has both inside and outside dining options. I've done both. Typically, I go on either a Friday or Saturday night, and they always have a DJ playing great music, which I appreciate. The service is good. I've never and any sort of issues at all with hostess, bartenders, or wait staff. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. Nikki has a pretty decent sized menu with all sorts of options, including a full list of sushi. The food is consistently delicious. Some of my favorite menu items are the volcano roll, gyoza, shrimp tempura, spring rolls, kalbi beef short rib, and firecracker shrimp, to name just a few. If you're looking to enjoy some solid Asian cuisine and music, especially if you enjoy R & B, you will love this place.

Honestly, so many better Japanese Sushi restaurants in Charlotte. 1 the service was terrible. Server disappears for a while and when does show up has horrible attitude. They provide such terrible service cause they already know they getting 20% gratuity added on to the check for parties of 6 or more. 2 the food took almost 2 hours to get to the table and when it finally arrived it was cold, dry and no flavor. 3 the atmosphere here is more of a club with music blasting so loud you can’t hear the people talking right next to you. It reaches the point it gives you a headache. There are people literally twerking, grinding and even a guy without a shirt dancing right on your table. 4 reservation was for 7:30 and we didn’t get sat until 8:10ish. Overall this place is complete trash and I would give it 0 stars if that was an option.

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.

The location was really nice inside, this was actually my first time there. The food was pretty good, but the rice tasted scotched. This is the kicker, the music was good however TOO LOUD!!! The waitress can’t hear you nor can you hold a decent conversation.Food: 3/5

We had a reservation for 6:00pm on a Friday night so there was no wait at the door.There is free parking in the biulding for guests and tenants. At 6:00pm is was very quiet and empty but by the time we left at 8:00pm it was completely full and very loud there was a DJ that was playing music. Our waitress was very pleasant and kept our drinks full. The food did take longer than a normal sit down restaurant to come out but we were really there for the people we came with so it didn’t actually bother us. The food tasted pretty good, if it was cheaper I would go more often but it was kinda pricy. I spent 135$ for 4 different sushi rolls 6-8 pieces each roll and 5 beers.

Food is decent. The atmosphere is more fun than anything. Owner is great and she’ hyped up the place. If you want more chill vibes, this is not it for you big you want something fun, more upbeat, then this is it. This place has been opened for a long time and they’ve kept up the same energy for years.Food: 5/5

I went to Nikko Japanese restaurant for dinner tonight with some friends. While I had high hopes for this restaurant as I had been wanting to try it for the past several months, I unfortunately was disappointed. The atmosphere was nice and the service was alright, but the food was just okay. The portions were small for the price, and the taste was nothing special, simply put it was just too expensive for the quality and quantity of food received. Here are some of the more major details about my experience: -The atmosphere was pretty nice. It was a small, intimate restaurant with a modern feel. The lighting was dim and the tables were spaced out nicely, so it was a quiet and relaxing place to eat. -The service was alright. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, but she wasn't very attentive to our table throughout the evening. Overall, I would say that Nikko is a decent restaurant, but it's not worth the price. If you're looking for a great Japanese meal, I would recommend going to a different restaurant.

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! Vegetarian options: Veggie Yaki Soba
