Niko Niko Sushi

Originally opened in 2008 Niko Niko Sushi sits on the northern side of the Palms District near Mid City LA. I live a bit west of this location and I’ve passed it countless times over the years but this past weekend my friends and I were looking for a great local spot and Niko Niko popped up on our must visit list. A few of us who are from LA have already been here, but it was a new spot to the others in our group. As many of the reviews mentioned the service here is very friendly and everything that we ordered came out very fast. Pricing is what is to be expected for a sushi restaurant, there are definitely a lot cheaper places, but also a lot more expensive places. You will have to pay a lot more for Omakase at one of the older sushi restaurants in LA which is known as a sushi city. I think Niko Niko is a great balance between casual and premium and we all had a great experience. They have a free parking lot attached to the tiny shopping center that it’s located in so parking won’t really be an issue ever. For our visit we ordered a mix of items, which is common for all of our sushi visits. We started off with a series of nigiri, my favorite being albacore and sweet shrimp which they had both. Next came a few different hand rolls and we especially enjoyed the blue crab hand roll special , which was filled with delicious real crab. Lastly, we got a few different special rolls for the table and each one was a real hit. The portion size was very generous and honestly all of the items were very good. Our bill came out to be about $175 for four people without alcohol so it definitely could’ve been cheaper, but also could’ve been way more expensive, just depends on what you are used to. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great sushi spot, especially if you’re looking for a casual spot that also has premium ingredients.

How did we miss out this place for 17yrs? 😳 The owners & team are super attentive & kind — excellent service. Fish: super fresh Quality: 👨🏼‍🍳😘 Portion: generous Value: solid My parents are waiting for their next trip to dine here. 🙏🫶🍣🥢🍶

When to Niko Niko for dinner with some of the family, they frequent this location and I will be as well in the future. We were greeted and seated quickly, it is spacious and welcoming although when we were leaving it was busy and people were having a wait. The sushi was fresh and presented nicely, the salmon skin salad is large enough for two, it’s so good I kept it all to myself. If you enjoy wasabi you’ll love it here, wow what a kick I got a couple times. The staff is very friendly, being we were there a bit early for the crowd they may have been to accommodating, checking n us every few minutes. If you are in the neighborhood and looking for a great sushi spot this one won’t disappoint!

Standard sushi restaurant that leans more on the American style side, where they have these crazy rolls with a lot of sauces and toppings within. The food is consistent and is pretty good. The service is quick and fast. Please note that this is actually owned by Koreans, so it's not the most "authentic". Walk-in with no reservation is fine as it's a big place. Free parking in their lot. Worth checking out if you're craving sushi and you're in the area. Not something I would go out of my way for.

Came in for lunch and this sushi was the best I’ve ever had. The Niko Niko roll is AMAZING. Wish I could go back in time and have it all over again. My new favorite spot, won’t disappoint!!

Their base roll is the California roll. The portions are large. I did not like the ratio of imitation crab to the different toppings. The rolls were good. The salmon was fresh though 👍🩷

Eh... The quality of the sushi was good, the technique in making it was inconsistent, almost sloppy. Presentation was your living room. The service was unprofessional and frustrating at best not making for a good experience. Although the general decoration of the place was not bad, the haphazard storage of chairs and restaurant supplies all over the place ruins the vibe. I was unfortunately disappointed. I would like to like it, but no thanks. When you are paying for a premium product you expect some things.

Wow, I genuinely haven’t had sushi this delicious in a really long time. The pieces of fish were beautiful and everything tasted fresh. Had the R&B roll, the In & Out roll, salmon and albacore sushi. So. Good. Can’t wait to try more on the menu. Service was friendly and prices were fine.
