Absolutely my favorite sushi place! I’ve had the pleasure of dining at sushi restaurants all over the US & Canada from East coast to West coast and Nikko stands above them all. Mostly for the quality and freshness, but the service is also great. My Wife and I were pleasantly surprised on our most recent visit that they reopened their sushi bar.

Absolutely love this place, our favorite Japanese restaurant.
The miso soup taste different but delicious. We enjoyed all the dishes so far- bento box, soba and tempura, unagi,.. would definitely go back again.

I visited Nikko Japanese Restaurant in Whippany, NJ today for my dad’s birthday, and it was honestly a very bad experience. The sushi (we had the tuna and salmon) was lukewarm, stringy, and did not taste fresh at all. Real sushi should taste soft and even melt in the mouth. The teriyaki chicken in the combination bento box barely tasted like chicken, and the tempura was soggy, bland, and not crispy whatsoever. The katsu don was not hot and was super soggy and overly sweet. Most of the food tasted artificial and low quality, and it did not feel authentic or representative of Japanese cuisine. It was so bad that my mom and sister could not even finish or even eat their meals.
The service also made the experience worse. The servers repeatedly asked if we were done eating, which made us feel rushed. When the food was ready, they would hold the plates/bowls out for us to grab instead of properly serving them at our seats. The whole experience felt impersonal and more like a takeout environment rather than a sit-down restaurant. This is not a Japanese restaurant.
This was supposed to be a special birthday dinner for my dad, which made the experience even more disappointing. We will not be returning. For anyone that wants to try real Japanese food, please do not waste your time or money here.

Great food and service. Love the options they offered. Decor was beautiful and they even have a tatami room for parties. I want to come back.

Nikko Japanese Restaurant has officially become our go-to spot before flying out of Newark. The food is consistently excellent, with an impressive variety that truly stands out. The uni and toro are exceptional fresh, delicate, and clearly high quality, the kind of dishes you remember long after the meal is over. Every plate is thoughtfully prepared, and the overall menu offers something special for both sushi lovers and those looking to explore beyond the basics.
The service is just as outstanding as the food. Attentive, friendly, and efficient without ever feeling rushed, which makes it the perfect place to relax and enjoy a great meal before travel. Nikko has quickly become our happy place and a must-stop whenever we’re in the area. Highly recommended. ✈️

Absolutely love the food here. I’ve been here multiple times and the food and service do not disappoint. The atmosphere is great, service is fast, and the staff is very nice. Somehow the family always winds up ordering the boats of sushi and I leave full for days on end. Amazing quality of food is what I always expect from this place. Thank you for feeding us!

Excellent sushi-hibachi restaurant. It is busy! So if you need a table after 7pm, especially on a weekend – i suggest making a reservation.
Staff is very friendly and creates almost “visiting your grandma” atmosphere.
Big selection of various speciality rolls and sushi/sashimi, as well as other traditional dishes.
Stocked liquor bar with various sake as well.
They even have a play room/sit on a floor and eat room for kids.
While on expensive side – it is well justified.
We all had various dishes – i opted for sushi-sashimi dinner – it was huge and tasty.
My sons had udon – which was HUGE, seafood dinner, California rolls.
My wife opted for specialty rolls – nikko specialty roll, momichi (which she didnt like but i did so matter of taste) shrimp tempura rolls.
Overall – good evening and again – kind and gentle waitresses made it feel like home.
