This place is excellent. My favorite sushi place in the Illinois valley by far. My boyfriend loves the Niku roll and I also love it. So amazing. Huge proportions for a great price. The sushi is amazing, I would recommend the niku roll or the shrimp tempura roll. Both very big and very filling rolls. Absolutely amazing. The chicken hibachi is also SO GOOD. The chicken is perfectly cooked and the sauce they use is TOP TEIR. The vegetables are fully cooked and oh my gosh the fried rice is honestly the best i have ever had, perfectly seasoned like. perfectly. also perfectly cooked. Very good proportions also. I have tried atleast 5 different sushi rolls here and I have never had any complaints.

Teriyaki chicken rice bowl & brussel sprouts appetizer were both delicious! Will be back next time I’m in town.

Been wanting to pay this place a visit for a while. The food and service did not disappoint. We came in during lunch hours and were some of the first customers, so the service was very speedy. The server apologized for the wait which couldn’t have been more than a few minutes, she was very attentive and really nice. I ordered the filet mignon hibachi and decided to get a california roll as well, both of which were amazingly delicious and served in a very short time frame. I would definitely come here again and recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for some different asian cuisine in the area.

I’ve never been here before. I stopped in on my way back from Chicago. Great atmosphere, our waitress Dawn was super nice. We started with the brussel sprouts, and they were fantastic!!! Dawn recommends the mushrooms the next time we stop in. I had the chefs choice of sashimi, and it was fantastic. My wife had a crunch roll and California roll(i think), and she said it was amazing as well! Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!!!!

My boyfriend and I had dinner at Niku recently and mostly enjoyed it. We ordered the Spicy Salmon Roll, Sassy Crawfish Roll, Filet Mignon Hibachi Dinner, and Shrimp Hibachi Dinner. The food was fresh and well-prepared—definitely the highlight.
I had a Mai Tai, but it was weak and tasted more like juice. My boyfriend had a Sapporo and liked it. Service was a bit slow, and our server seemed distracted—I didn’t get the salad that came with my meal, though he liked his soup.
The atmosphere was nice, but the music (a lot of Taylor Swift) didn’t really match the setting. Prices were a bit high, but the quality of the food made up for it.
Overall, a good meal with a few minor issues. I’d go back for the sushi and maybe try a different drink next time.

First off, let me say WOW. The food was amazing. The sushi was very authentic and the hibachi was perfect. but the service was even better. I have not been taken care of in a restaurant like I was on Friday night from Lexi. She was kind, attentive, and really knows her stuff. My wife and I had many questions as it was our first time in and she knew the answers without skipping a beat. You can tell she really enjoys her job and she does it exceptionally. We don’t live in town but will definitely be back frequently.

Prices are reasonable and the service is great! The restaurant site is spacious; however, the metal chairs are uncomfortable, and the bench seating isn’t much better. The food is tasty, and the portions are enough to generate leftovers. The crunchy roll that comes with the 3 meat hibachi box is delicious. However, the steak was a bit fatty, and the chicken was bland. The shrimp was the most tasty of the three meats that come in the box. It’s nice to have this restaurant in Ottawa! We ordered a meal to bring home to our son.

Loved this place! We were here during a very slow time (lunch on a Monday) so service was swift and able to have extra attention by wait staff. Wanted to try a new cuisine and loved Japanese. Hubby enjoyed lobster box and shared miso soup. Enjoyed creamy crab Rangoon as an appetizer. I liked the avocado salad with chicken. It was a big portion! Wanted to try sushi but am new to this food so tried Spicy JB sushi. It wasn’t too fishy tasting, and the crab mix was creamy. I liked the fried texture as well. Definitely worth a try!

100% recommend! The person we spoke to was very sweet and made sure my gluten free friend had access to gluten free soy sauce. We loved the: chicken hibachi, edamame, salmon balls, chicken katsu rice bowl, and our sushi!

We tried Niku for the first time tonight, there was no wait, on a Saturday, we were able to get right in! The staff was very polite and the food was EXCELLENT!! We’re already talking about going back to try more of what was on the menu, we were delighted to see several plant based (vegan) options! Prices were very reasonable & portion sizes were perfect!
