⭐ FIVE STARS ISN’T ENOUGH — THIS PLACE DESERVES A WHOLE CONSTELLATION. ⭐
If you think you’ve had good wagyu before… think again. NICU X in Downtown LA just reset the bar for what real A5 all-you-can-eat should look, feel, and taste like — and the two absolute legends running the show, Kevin and Joe, are the reason this place is on another level.
From the second I walked in, Kevin and Joe treated me like family — and not the “hi, how many in your party?” type of family… I mean the “sit down, relax, we’re about to take you on the best meat experience of your life” kind of family. These guys know hospitality the way chefs know fire.
THE EXPERIENCE:
Perfectly marbled A5 Wagyu that melts the moment it touches the grill. Cuts so beautiful you almost feel bad eating them (almost). Every round came out flawless — tender, rich, buttery, and cooked exactly how wagyu dreams are supposed to taste.
THE SERVICE:
Kevin and Joe are straight-up pros. Friendly, attentive, hilarious, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They made the whole meal feel like a VIP tasting and somehow kept the vibe fun, relaxed, and unforgettable. Zero ego, all passion and flavor.
️ THE FOOD:
Delicious doesn’t even scratch the surface. Every bite was next-level. It’s rare you find AYCE where the quality stays top-tier from start to finish, but NICU X delivers. This is wagyu done right.
If you’re anywhere near Downtown LA and want a dining experience that hits harder than a Big Mouth Foam Cannon on full blast, NICU X is the spot — and Kevin and Joe are the reason you’ll be back.
HIGHLY recommend. 11/10. Would eat here again tomorrow. And the day after.

We were first greeted by the lovely host Noelle. Answered all the questions we had. Then our server Darren was amazing. Super attentive, felt like we were the only ones he was looking after. The A5 was amazing striploin was the favorite. They had toro nigiri and the king crab was so good. Also get the Portuguese egg tart. Surprisingly was one of the best tarts I had

Loved this place! The cocktails were so good and everyone working there was super nice. The food was even better than I expected, everything we tried was delicious. I also loved the floral decor, it made the whole place feel so pretty and special. Totally coming back for any group hangouts or meetups. Highly recommend!

I had my birthday here on November 14th 2025. We endured a crazy storm to get to downtown LA from Covina. As fun as the ride over was the enjoyment I had at Niku X. As a chubby group member I felt welcomed the second I got there.
Let’s start with the service. Our server was a cool homie and so was everyone else. I was noticed immediately for my dodgers gear I had on. Go Dodgers! Everyone liked that.
As food the food. I had nearly 1 of everything at the buffet, same for my mom who dined with me. Most notable was the delicious sea food. We ordered about 5 sides, loved the Oxtail potstickers and the exclusive lobsters. Every single wahyu dish was up to par. I cooked them each either 30 seconds to 1 min 30 for an a delicious butter melting medium rare taste. The grills were excellent here, never had any issues!
There is a huge selection of sake and soju. All ranging from cheap to fancy. I had 1 glass of cloudy sake & 3 of the beers they had available. Im very familiar with Japanese craft beers so I was able to find 1 unique beer I’ve never had here. That’s always a plus to me. Thanks for having me for my birthday!

High-quality food. This is the first time I’ve been to an all-you-can-eat restaurant without an upset stomach. I have a seafood allergy and survived. I can tell that the food is not contaminated. The service is good. I visited on Oct. 17 and was served by Roman and his partner, the one with a bit of long hair guy who loves to make funny comments and jokes. You get what you pay for. Clean ambience, premium food. Premium service. We spent $250 for two during lunch. Can’t wait to go back in a few weeks.

The website for this restaurant is misleading. The only actually validated parking is valet. We called the restaurant for clarification and they auto transfered us to a robo voice with the same false information as the website.
When we got in we met the host and clarified our reservation. They tried to seat us at a shared table and we ended up asking for a booth. We ended up waiting another 20 minutes.
The servers were busy so the manager of the restaurant ended up chatting with us about the history of the company and where they source the beef from.
Throughout the dinner they replated us multiple times and also replaced our grill 4x throughout the time.
I chatted with some of the staff and we found out that today on Xmas the venue was about 50 percent more busy than a normal night. It looked like the staff were very highly trained and often communicated with each other for even smaller things like keeping drinks topped off. Originally I was planning on giving the venue a lower score but the manager and staff salvaged it to a 5.
The selection of beef was very good. There was plenty of king crab, a butter station, and a peking duck station.

An Arguably the best restaurant I’ve ever been to In My Life. The quality of the wagyu second to none. A5 for Miyazaki Japan. The meat melts in your mouth. You start off with a really awesome buffet of wagyu and delicious sushi. And our server Chris was very mindful absolutely incredible at his job. I highly recommend just going for straight ribeye. The best rib I’ve ever had in my life. The quality of the ingredients is absolutely astonishing and so perfectly done I highly recommend and cannot wait till I come back. Thanks for making our 17 year anniversary so special NIKU X

I recently went to NIKU X Los Angeles, which is on the 2nd floor of the Intercontinental Hotel.
The place has a beautiful ambience—clean, classy, and perfect for a nice night out.
They offer valet parking and validate for 2.5 hours, but since we had three cars, we still ended up paying almost $100 extra after the free hours. For just over an hour of staying—dining, picture-taking, and exploring the hotel—it felt a bit pricey just for parking.
When it comes to the food, they have two options: $109 per person and $149 per person.
The $109 already includes unlimited lobster, seafood, beef, sushi, sashimi, and more from the buffet.
The $149 option is marketed as the “premium experience,” with unlimited Japanese A5 Wagyu and a few other special dishes.
We decided to go for the $149 option for the experience.
The unlimited Wagyu sounds great, but to be honest, it was underwhelming.
If you’ve had authentic Japanese A5 Wagyu before, you’d know the taste and quality are usually outstanding even without seasoning.
But here, it just didn’t have that same melt-in-your-mouth flavor.
For me, it felt overpriced and not really worth the hype.
Meanwhile, the “special seafood” at $149—like king crab legs, shrimp with caviar, and a few other items—are only served once, not unlimited.
The best part of the evening was actually the ambience and the service.
Our server Naomi was amazing—friendly, attentive, and she explained everything so clearly.
She really made my birthday celebration special.
Overall, if you’re a seafood lover, I’d say just go with the $109 option.
You already get plenty—lobster, shrimp, sushi, sashimi, and more—without spending extra on Wagyu that doesn’t really stand out.
The $149 feels too expensive for what it offers. The place is definitely beautiful, the service is excellent, but next time I’d probably just stick with the $109—or maybe try another spot.

I had a great experience trying this out for the first time for their Sunday brunch for $55 pp and we added on the $35 option for more variety. Roman was our server, and even though he’s newer, he’s very attentive and knowledgeable with recommendations, sequencing, and pairing of selections.

I’ve spent $250 per person and didn’t worth it ($150 for the course plus two non-alcoholic beverages)..
Despite the The food is excellent—premium Wagyu like Toriyama and delicious crab—and the staff is kind, Unfortunately, the overall experience doesn’t justify the price.
The ambience is too crowded, with dirty floors and utensils, and buffet trays often sit empty too long. I’ve ordered a bottle of water and then the staff refilled my glass with water from the jar without noticing that I have a bottle , and the serrated knives provided aren’t fit for cutting fine Wagyu. For $250, you can enjoy a far better dinner in a refined setting. I honestly don’t understand why this place was so full.
