When people ask me what I love the best of my trip to Niagara Falls, I would be telling them my visit to Niku Japanese BBQ. This can sound crazy to many but my experience at Niku was beyond amazing. Danny and many other servers were so friendly and helpful. Danny would check on my boyfriend and I often and in a lighthearted manner that made us feel comfortable and welcomed. Danny also went above and beyond by making conversations enjoyable and fun. But it was not just the service, the food was great as well! My boyfriend and I liked the marinated lamb as it was really fragrant and tasty - not often seen in Japanese bbq menus. In fact, I have to say this may be the best restaurant experience yet in my life and the service on top of great food made it extra special. I will recommend people to try Niku out whenever they plan a trip to Niagara Falls!

Min was an absolute blast serving us. We have never been, so she walked us through everything, was super funny and even cooked the first plate for us. The food was incredible. Our favorites were anything marinated and the brisket. We were there for about 2 hours. The atmosphere was so great. It was cool seeing other tables cooking together and bonding whether it be a father and son, family, or a couple. The smiles on peoples faces were contagious. This is an all you can eat buffet and they encourage you to keep eating. Absolutely love this place. We will for sure be back.

If you're looking for an unforgettable BBQ experience, this shop is a must-visit! As you approach the entrance, you'll be greeted by a striking, oversized model of Luffy, which instantly sets a fun and welcoming tone. The vibrant atmosphere pulls you in, enhanced by cheerful waiters whose bright smiles immediately lift your spirits. Inside, you're surrounded by wonderful paintings that add a splash of color and creativity to the decor—truly the best I've ever seen in a BBQ joint. The food is nothing short of spectacular—fresh, smoky, and grilled to perfection over a strong, roaring fire. The beef is absolutely epic, tender and juicy, bursting with flavor that lingers long after your last bite. And let’s not forget the sauce; it’s a perfect blend of spices that elevates every dish, making each bite a delightful experience. While most dishes shine, I did find the squid to be a bit rubbery and lacking in taste, though it was undeniably fresh. The upbeat music fills the air, energizing the crowd and enhancing the overall vibe. This place doesn’t just serve food; it creates an experience that wraps you in relaxation and joy. With its lively environment and exceptional service, this BBQ shop is a feast for the senses and a true celebration of BBQ culture. Don't miss out on this gem—it's an adventure you won't forget!

Service is excellent! Food is very tasty, they offer a wide selection of meat and all of them are fresh. Their soy sauce is a house made special, the lime in the soy sauce makes everything taste more refreshing. We had an awesome time dining last night and will definitely come back.

Stopped in for lunch earlier this week when visiting Niagara Falls. Very fun decor paying homage to classic and popular anime. The staff were very friendly. They do ask if you've been before, so if you have not been here specifically, and especially if you have never done Japanese BBQ, ask for help! They will walk you through the process. It's important to know from my experience, order all meats and veggies you think you want to try right away, and enough sides that your party has something to eat the cooked items with, so as you cook your meat and veggies, you're ready to consume. It's all you can eat, but you have only 90 min. However, you can do a lot of damage if you order and cook at the right pace. For only $37 CAD each, everyone left full and happy from the meal. Most of the food was pretty good. The highlights for me were the cold noodle soup, seaweed salad, the short ribs, and the brisket. Definitely would recommend if you're looking for a more hearty meal than the tourist forward spots in and around the Niagara Falls area!

What really brings out the 5 star rating is the service. From the moment you walk in to the moment you walk out, the service is impeccable. They really take pride in working there, and will do what they can to make your experience an unforgettable one. Our server told us that the kitchen closes at 22:30. I forgot they had cheesecake, and it was closer to 22:45, but our server said she would go check, and came back with it for me. Even a few more pieces of the steak. The food was ok. There wasn't much flavour to the meats, but for all you can it, it was fine. The chicken tasted great. If you're going to visit, make sure you go on an empty stomach. This place is worth checking out.

Niku Japanese BBQ in Niagara is a popular choice for Japanese BBQ enthusiasts. The restaurant offers a variety of high-quality meats and fresh vegetables for grilling. The casual atmosphere is great for both groups and intimate meals. Service is generally attentive, and the prices are reasonable for the all-you-can-eat experience. It can get busy during peak times, so consider making a reservation. Overall, it’s a solid spot for a flavorful and enjoyable dining experience.

Awesome place!! It's a fun place to eat where you cook on a stove in front of you. The food quality was outstanding. We got great service and on a busy long Canada day weekend too. It's a bit pricey but it's well worth it. Do yourself a favor and go here! I'm looking forward to going back again.

Niku is a great place to eat if you re in the Niagara Falls area. It s not too expensive for all you can eat and there s plenty of selections for protein, including beef, chicken, pork, seafood, lamb. There s also vegetarian and vegan options as well and other dishes like deep fried dishes, desserts, and side dishes. My favorites were the marinated short ribs, butter corn, and the cucumber salad. The seafood ramen was alright, but it was not what I had expected, it was a small bowl with just noodles, soup, seaweed, scallions, and two shrimps. However, the bibimbap I had was covered in too much kimchi sauce, it would be much better if there was a little less, because the whole bowl was drenched in sauce. Just be advised there is no parking. So make sure you find a place to park before going there. I parked at a public parking lot that costed $5 about half a kilometer away. The waiters were also very friendly and attentive. The interior was also very clean. Definitely give this place a try when you re in the area. Vegetarian options: There are vegetable selections on the menu.

Update, once again our visit to Niku was amazing , from the service to the food it was worth every penny OMG just recently found this place and definitely wanted to try ... Well let me say its AMAZING, from the minute you walk in the door you know this is it . Our server Danny , was incredible from his recommendations to his energy, just flawless.

Thank you to all the servers, cooks etc you guys are an amazing team , Danny thank you again for all your help .

First time going and will be bringing others upon our return. Lots of great menu options/good variety, delicious seasoning and staff knew exactly when to change the grill. Trust me, it is needed if you re going to be there for the two hours. Truly all you can eat, did not feel rushed at all even when they advised us of last call, we snuck a few extra deserts. The staff provided outstanding service and great recommendations, the homemade soy sauce was unreal. Danny was a great server! Super helpful and informative as well as the other staff - very friendly.

Absolutely amazing! My girlfriend and I had the best experience weve ever had eating in the Falls, especially as locals! Our server Matt was awesome! Made amazing suggestions on what to order for food and for drinks (thanks for the suggestion of the Lychee Mojitos Matt!) The atmosphere was killer! Completely decked out in Anime art, stuff like dragon ball, demon slayer, Naruto, one piece etc. Also had a life sized Luffy statue right when you walk in which was sick!!! The staff were all very friendly and enthusiastic about their work, made amazing suggestions and always made sure we were satisfied. The manager was very upfront about pricing, closing time, and last call times. Huge shoutout to our server Matt once again, you rock dude! We will definitely coming back with all of our friends and family! 11/10 would recommend! -AJ + Lauren (your new regulars!)

I recently dined at Niku, a cozy yet vibrant grill restaurant that promises a delightful experience for lovers of flame-kissed flavours.

The menu is a paradise for grill enthusiasts, offering a wide variety of meats, seafood, and vegetarian options.

The whole vibe of the place was really nice and pretty, and of course the anime / Japanese decor was really great too heh. We came during lunch time on sunday (lunch menu) Servers was really welcoming and just had a very nice energetic energy, this one server in particular ( I overheard ) named Eric(?) is very thoughtful and just like one step ahead (fast service and fast refills for the drinks, and we didnt even need to ask :p ) Food was great, even the side dishes too. Dishes we enjoyed were pork belly, beef brisket (thin beef) shrimp w recommended garlic butter!!, marinated beef (super soft) bean sprout + kimchi, steamed rice, corn! i suggest ordering the garlic combo which includes garlic and ssamjang!!! or i think u can just order the ssamjang by itself. Price is 35 ish dollars for lunch menu which is honestly average in ayce restaurants. Visited twice already, would go back again :> Final price for two - lunch menu is 100 dollars w tip included and two refillable soft drinks.

In a city that is full of overpriced tourist traps, Niku is an absolute gem in the middle of Niagara Falls . Every cut of meat tastes super fresh and is fantastic quality. Side dishes were also a hit (I recommend the takoyaki especially). Yes, the all-you-can-eat is $50 a person, but the price is entirely justified and worth it. We know we will definitely be back here when we happen to be visiting Niagara Falls again.

Key take away: Fast and Friendly Service. Menu selection was large and almost fusion, food was great, quality meat (minus the prime angus). Beef bristket slices best. If you like anime, this is the place - theme music on replay, anime themed art, kinda lit. Kevin and AK provided amazing Service, attention, and offered choices from the menu we enjoyed.

I honestly do not know where to start. All the selections were so filled with flavour and aroma and thats BEFORE grilling. After, they were all so pausingly delicious, the taste where you pause before giving your result. Our server, AK, was so friendly, quick, just happy to serve and be in the building. We didnt catch the other servers as they were just as amazing as AK. Ive been to other grill your own places and none have been as welcoming and helping as here! Will definitely be coming back!

Delicious food and great atmosphere. High reccomend the beef brisket, marinated beef short ribs, cinnamon pineapple, and the creme brulee for desert. The creme brulee is absolutely mouth watering, one of the best Ive had so far. A big shout out to our server, Danny, for hes great service and kind spirit! Definitely a new favorite spot for when we come down to Niagara for aa visit. UPDATE: One year later we came back today for a visit on our anniversary weekend, and the food is still amazing! We went for lunch this time and brought some family with us. The beef belly was delicious and you cant go wrong with all of the side dishes. Our server was attentive, and kind, and it was awesome to also see our old server, Danny, from our visit last year. An absolute staple in Niagara if your looking for a great eating experience. We will continue to keep coming back during our Niagara visits!

The food was actually so delicious. Im still in awe of how good it was. My top 3 dishes were the thin cuts of beef, the cucumber salad (surprising) and also the chicken katsu. Everything was really fresh and flavourful. The desserts were also really good. All the food comes in small portions for you to try out. The staff were incredible and so kind to us. Helping us learn how to cook the food. One of our waiters offered to cook some things that were in little tins for us on a separate fire since they took a lot of heat and a while to cook. The decor and atmosphere felt unreal for a restaurant. Genuinely. There is a cool statue of Luffy from One Piece that you can take selfies with. Just dont touch it. This place is 5 stars in all catergories and everything was just perfect for our family. If you read this far, thanks. And I hope you have a good time there. -Nylah Kid-friendliness: They were super kind to our whole family. (The youngest being 6.)

I have had experience with Japanese bbq in Toronto (gyubee) so my expectations were high. However, this place did not disappoint one bit and I am so glad I got to experience their dining experience. The variety of meats is endless and fun along with some deep fried options as well. The servers were fast and so kind. I would definitely come back and recommend to a friend.

The restaurant is okay. It is overpriced but it is in a tourist location so not surprised. Basically after tax and tip you re looking at around $80 for 1 person. They also rush you out and cut you off which for bbq is annoying.

November 22, 2024

The meat was very tough and full of tendons, making it unchewable, and I had to spit out pieces that I couldnt chew. After the meal, I even experienced diarrhea. The food quality really needs improvement. I chose this restaurant because of the high rating reviews in Google map, but I am extremely disappointed. Ive been to many Japanese and Korean BBQ places, and this was by far the worst experience Ive ever had.

This is my 4th time in the past 4 weeks going to Nikus which I found by chance several weeks ago. From my first visit I was greeted by the friendly staff and then the owner Min saw that it was my first time. She taught me how to properly cook my food and even did it for me to get me started. Every time I go back Min will come over and talk to me to see how the service is. I have to tell you all the staff are personable and friendly and make you feel special. The greeting is the most important part of this service which sets the tone before you even get to the delicious food. I make sure to eat here at least once on my business trips and it is always memorable. You have to try the best Japanese BBQ in the area which is Niku and say Hello Min the owner you cant miss her she is always smiling and talking to her clients.

EDIT: the friend mentioned in this is the last review left before mine. Once again we are super impressed with you guys. Last Tuesday, the 12th of November, I had the pleasure of traveling from Windsor to try Niku for the first time, as this concept does not exist in my area. To detail this experience from the moment we walked in, with a frequent customer, we were immediately greeted with some of the most personable customer service from the wait staff before we even took our seats. The waiter already had our friends favorite order started before we sat down, and within three minutes of taking our seats, the raw food was in front of us and ready for the grill. Normally, when you eat at an all-you-can-eat restaurant, theres an expectation of either rushed service or lower-quality offerings, but Niku completely shattered those assumptions. Every dish brought to the table was beautifully prepared, fresh, and brimming with flavor. The variety of meats, seafood, and vegetables provided an exciting mix for grilling, and the quality was evident in every bite. The standout for me was the marinated beef it was tender, perfectly seasoned, and grilled to absolute perfection. The dipping sauces added another layer of depth, catering to different flavor profiles from tangy and spicy to rich and umami-packed. What truly elevated this experience, though, was the impeccable service. I found myself saying out loud to the table at least six times how impressed I was. From the warm welcome at the door to the way the waiter anticipated our needs and served us with such care, it was clear that the staff takes immense pride in ensuring every customer has a top-tier experience. Their attentiveness struck the perfect balance not hovering, but always there when you needed something. Adding to the charm of the evening were two individuals who made our visit even more memorable. I regret not remembering their names, but I hope this description helps: one was a Mexican gentleman whose warm personality and enthusiasm set the tone for the evening, and the other was a preschool teacher who radiated kindness and a welcoming vibe. Together, they added a unique and personal touch to the experience. What truly blew me away was something the owner said. Its all you can eat, so eat until youre full. You dont expect to hear that level of generosity, especially when you know why a business is in business, but it reflected the genuine care they have for their guests experience. It wasn t about limiting portions or rushing people through the meal it was about making sure you left completely satisfied. By the end of the night, I left Niku not just satisfied but genuinely blown away. The combination of outstanding service, exceptional food, and a fun, interactive dining setup makes this spot a must-visit. It was absolutely worth the trip from Windsor, and I can t wait to return. Highly, highly recommend!

I attended the restaurant with my family on a Wednesday afternoon, we were welcomed by the staff called AK, a really friendly, kind and receptive staff there. We chose the dinner menu, everything was delicious, they had a good choice of sauces and the meat flavour was 10 of 10. My family and I loved the restaurant, will recommend for sure.

It was a dinner well spent at NIKU JAPANESE BBQ! So far, this is the best AYCE BBQ weve ever tried better than the ones weve experienced in Toronto! The restaurant features amazing servers and outstanding customer service!! Shoutout to Anh, Kim and Danny who were very nice and attentive. They serve generous portions of meat and offer a variety of delicious ready-to-eat dishes. The salted pepper chicken was our personal favorite as it somehow reminds us of Taiwan ! Our top picks for the meats were the marinated short ribs, prime boneless short ribs, and the best of them all BEEF BRISKET! We also indulged in their desserts, and I especially loved the chocolate fondue. Overall, it was a delightful experience that left us very happy! MAGIS to all the people working in this restaurant!!

As someone who misses the dining experiences from the Philippines, Niku Japanese BBQ is an absolute gem! While we call this style korean samgyupsal back home, this restaurant takes it to a whole new level. The ambiance is pristine and creatively designed, with touches that anime lovers will particularly appreciate. The quality of the meat is exceptional, and every side dish is packed with flavor. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making our visit even more enjoyable. We loved every moment here and can t wait to return with our family soon.

A Hidden Gem with Exceptional Service! I recently dined at Niku, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting, setting the perfect tone for our evening. What truly made our visit stand out was our server, AK. From the first greeting, AK was more than amazing attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic about the menu. He took the time to recommend dishes based on our preferences, and his passion for the food was evident. Each suggestion turned out to be a delightful surprise! AK checked in on us frequently, ensuring that everything was to our liking without being intrusive. his attention to detail made us feel like valued guests rather than just another table. Thank you, AK, for making our evening memorable! Ohh, Also the food was amazing !

It was my dads 65th birthday and our family stumbled upon Niku in Niagara. Right when we entered, we loved the Luffy statue and the Japanese artwork. We also enjoyed that there was a mix of Japanese and Korean songs playing in the background - including Sailor Moon, Wonder Girls and Big Bang. Haha sounds like our millennial playlist! We liked that naengmyun, bibimbap, samjang and kimchi was also served at this Japanese bbq spot. The tall asian waiter (sorry we didnt catch his name) was so pleasant and informative! You can tell he just radiates good vibes. It truly made my dads birthday and our Thanksgiving! Food was delicious, the space was very clean and aesthetic! Definitely coming back.

Please make sure the pictures are misleaded from its website, totally not having that quality of Japanese type of beef, and clearly identify this is the only all u can eat type of style and quality. Service is good and cant complain they added 15% service charge directly to the bill. Not included parking, U need to look for the pay parking around. And this is not the real Japanese style as I am expected. Please check my last pictures that I really supposed want to have, but actually none at all.

We were seated in the centre and on the other side was another couple. Our waiter sucked compared to the other waiter on the other side who pretty much recommended and order everything for the couple to start. I honestly wished we had this level of service to start. The only thing that saved the experience was I believe the manager came by halfway thru our email and pretty much asked us to Order more and make recommendations. It was nice to see an all you can eat place encourage you to order more! Unfortunately we were pretty much full! And even more so after the manager ordered more food for us. It s quite an unusual atmosphere because it s decorated with a lot of nice anime art which I was impressed with. They have a big Luffy statue from one piece which my kid really enjoys. I myself have a Luffy golf headcover. There are more anime art when you walk inside! Also the music at the time was opening OST from anime from yesteryears and current. Like Evangelion and naruto. But when i look around i doubt the clientele would even recognize this stuff??maybe the owner is a big fan like i am.

Lasr night was (supposed to be)our last night in Canada and my son talked me into eating here. He is a huge anime fan and as were walking by this restaurant he noticed their beautiful collection of anime artwork they have on display. I was a little hesitant at 1st, but am so very thankful that he did. I have eaten at a lot of restaurants and I can honestly say that I have never had as enjoyable an experience as i had there. The entire staff that we met were amazing! And the food was all so delicious and it just kept coming! They practically had to roll me out of the place because i didnt want it to end. We loved this place so much that we stayed an extra night just so that we can experience it 1 last time before we head back home. The value for the money was excellent. My words cant express enough just how wonderful this place truly is. I would HIGHLY recommend it to everyone! We are on our way back in now! If you are in Niagara falls this place is a must!

I recently had the pleasure of dining with my family at Niku Japanese BBQ All You Can Eat Restaurant, and I must say, the experience was outstanding from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, Jane at the reception greeted us with a warm and welcoming smile. Her efficiency and friendliness set the tone for the rest of our meal, and she made sure we were comfortably seated without delay. Our servers Frank, AK, and Daniel were exceptional throughout our lunch. Franks attentiveness and prompt service ensured that our table was always well-stocked with delicious dishes. AK s cheerful demeanor and detailed knowledge of the menu helped us navigate our choices with ease, making sure we didn t miss out on any of the restaurants specialties. Daniel s quick service and professional approach kept the dining experience smooth and enjoyable, adding to the overall positive vibe. The combination of fantastic service from such a dedicated team and the high-quality, all-you-can-eat Japanese cuisine made for a memorable lunch. I highly recommend Niku for anyone looking to enjoy a delightful meal with top-notch service. Thank you, Jane, Frank, AK, and Daniel, for making our visit so enjoyable. I look forward to dining at Niku again soon!

Ive been meaning to try Niku the last few times I have been in Niagara and I am disappointed that I didnt go sooner. This place is a gem! The decor and atmosphere is very modern and hip with a touch of elegenace. It definitely hit the vibe check for me and my wife. My wife and I came in with our kid and from the jump the staff was amazing. The server that greeted us was very energeti and sociable, ehich made us feel welcomed right away. He brought us in to a quieter, more open area so my kid could sleep in the stroller. Small gestures like this are a nice touch that most other restaurants dont even consider. The rest of the staff that we interacted with were great, very outgoing, energetic and answered any questions. They also offered great recommendations when it came to the food. This is the kind of staff that make a dining experience even better. I have been to many Japanese and Korean BBQ spots and this one is up there with the best I have been too. Great flavours and seasoning on the meats, good side selections and everything tasted fresh. I would definitely recommend any of the short ribs, the kalbi strips and the angus. The deserts were delicious also. Am I mad for not coming here sooner? Yes lol Will we come back and recommend this place to others? Absolutely! This is my new go to spot whenever Im in the Falls.

This review is long Overdue. Niku Japanese BBQ is hands down one of the best AYCE Asian BBQ places in Niagara Falls and Niagara Region as a Total. I have been coming to this place for over a year with friends and family and we have never had a dull moment eating here. This restaurant has some of the best staff I have ever met. All the Servers and staff are all very nice, welcoming and they create great atmosphere to be in. Im working to learn all Servers names as they all are so great. Notably Daniel and Kevin are quite great to be around for sure. However, even the owners and other essential staff, which Kitchen staff as well, all seem like really great people! Their music playlist is very good. If you are into J-Pop, K-Pop, K-Dramas and Anime, you will definitely enjoy their music playlist that plays in the restaurant. For those wondering if there is any Western music, dont worry, they play that too! Their food..... T h e i r F o o d is needless to say, amazing. So good in fact that my friends and I are addicted and came every week for about 3 months straight. We eventually learned to control ourselves from going. However, if we were rich, I know that we would go to Niku every week again 100%. Their food options and quality is top notch and because of that, it is what caused our addiction to this restaurant. With all of these factors coming together, I believe that this place is one of the best restaurants to go to if youre in the Niagara Region and it is 100% worth every cent. Bring family, bring your friends and experience an undoubtedly great night with not only those you came in with, but the staff as well! Looking forward to coming back eventually this summer! (Not an important note, but I was at niku a week before I posted this review, and Ill probably come back in the middle of August.... just goes to show how great this place is).

Hands down, BEST BBQ in town. My brother and I have been going here since they opened. They have the best staff in Niagara Falls. Theyre welcoming, friendly, attentive, and it literally feels like they just want their customers to have a great time. Their service isnt superficial. Food? Chefs kiss. The meats are always so juice and flavourful. You are getting what you paid for for an AYCE BBQ. We never leave feeling unsatisfied. It never feels like we have to wait long for servers to take our orders either. They have so many options, too, for food. And just because theres limited Asian BBQ restaurants in Niagara, doesnt mean thats the reason why theyre amazing. Ive been to some restaurants in the GTA, and I actually like Niku more. Thats how good they are. Cant wait to come back again! See you guys soon Also, the lychee mojitos? IMMACULATE. We always order so many because they taste that good

TOURIST TRAP. 2 stars for good service. Other than that-overpriced and very mediocre. Brisket was like a rubber, shrimp was ok, salmon had a few tiny pieces (I mean 4-6 1 x1 pieces), steamed rice was dry, veggies had no marinade. We paid $200 for 3 adults dinner and left hungry.

We hadnt realised before arrival that it is all you can eat, which was a wonderful bonus. Great selection of meats (I particularly enjoyed the Angus beef) and desserts. The food was excellent (even if we did set the grill on fire twice lol), as was the service. Our server Danny (Daniel) exhibited the best customer service Ive ever experienced at a restaurant. He provided helpful suggestions, and even a demonstration of how to cook the meats. He was polite and entertaining. He engaged in casual conversation at the right times and did an excellent job of making us feel comfortable and happy. Danny was of such great service we thought he might be the owner! (Hes not but truly carried his job with the mind of an owner). Couldnt recommend this place more.

Super impressed by the SERVICE! Danny & Everyone works together to ensure all the customers are well taken care of! The food was great of course but the reason for me taking the time to write this review is to showcase how much fun they seem to have while doing their job. Im a big nerd & anime fan and love asian food so i was delighted to be in Niku. Drove my girlfriend all the way down from New Jersey to watch the Niagara Falls and the service Danny provided became one of my highlights. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting!

Had a bad experience eating there and everything is over priced. Bad place to go with your kids plus the waiting is ridiculous. I wouldn t recommend to anyone. Read their reviews before going there.

Great Japanese BBQ experience. We had never tried it and came by chance following the reviews, we have absolutely no regrets. The meal was delicious, the products were of good quality and the waiter (heart on Frank) was adorable and very patient. I recommend that all good meat eaters visit this restaurant, but remember to make a reservation as it gets crowded, especially in the evening. Dietary restrictions: Be careful if you have allergies Kid-friendliness: A reduction is made for children aged 4-9 years old Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs

First of all, the food was delicious, and service was great. We were so stuffed towards the end. I think I physically could not have another bite, that s the testimony of how good the food was. Beef brisket was my personal favorite. It was my birthday that day. My husband mentioned it to our waiter AK (the nicest waiter I have ever met ). The entire staff came out singing Happy birthday with a , made me feel so special and made my day! Ps: Try this complementary Fanta flavored popsicle, so refreshing on a hot summer day! If there is one suggestion I can make: some customers may not be familiar with Asian-style BBQ , for those customers, have a detailed instructions on how to cook each kind of meat. That s probably where those few bad reviews come from.

Great experience! Probably my favorite place to eat here in the Falls. Good quality meats and sides. Only problem was I would like to try more and ran out of stomach space. Definitely recommend if you don t mind cooking your meats! The fan worked great to absorb food odor also.

Went to Niku on Saturday with my husband and two girls. We had the pleasure to meet Danny. He was attentive to our family, made great food recommendations for the little ones and was just a real pleasure. The food is excellent of couse, and our kids enjoyed the entire experience; but Danny gave us the type of top tier customer service that makes dining out memorable. Thank you Danny!!!!

10/10 would recommend! We stopped in randomly on a busy night and were seated quickly with lots of accomodating help considering we had our 2 year old daughter with us. The service was outstanding with lots of options provided for her to enjoy and everyone working had great joyful attitudes and demeanor. We even forgot an item and they were so helpful in helping us retrieve it. Kid-friendliness: Very accommodating providing lots of kid friendly options and highchairs. We were also able to leave our stroller at the front for more space.

My friend and I were extremely hungry after a long day of travel - Niku ended up being the absolute best place for us to end up. First off, the service Min provided was excellent. She was kind, prompt, and informative. As soon as she saw our drinks were low she swooped in for a top off. When she noticed our food was getting low she made great suggestions. Other members of the wait staff wandered around picking up plates and checking in, all very friendly. The food was outstanding! You get plates of fresh meat to cook to your liking. Sides of vegetables, soup, desserts, and fried foods. Everything we ate was wonderful. The price was surprisingly low for what you re getting here. Roughly $50 for an all-you-can-eat experience. The restaurant was fun - cute cat paintings and decor. Very clean. Vegetarian options: The cucumbers and kimchi were fantastic.

We re visiting from LA and thought we give this place a try. Originally didn t think much of an AYCE JBBQ spot for a touristy town but this place really impressed us. The service and ambiance was top notch. Meat options were good and quality was a little bit above average. The grill was also amazing. It was easy to not over cook meat and gave it a nice bbq grill char. Would definitely recommend.

I had a fantastic time. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. I was seated and served immediately. A great place for solo diners or groups. There s a parking lot a little ways down that you can pay to park at. Dietary restrictions: My server was very helpful with the menu and asked if I had any allergies ahead of time. He made sure everything was safe for me to eat! Parking: While I didn t see a lot for them and there is no street parking, there is a paid parking lot about two businesses down.

Had my bachelor party here. Food was amazing. All you can eat steak cooked the way you like it?? Couldnt get enough of the Katsu chicken and tako yaki as well. Our server absolutely loved his job. Cant think of a single time Ive had a server as energetic and who loved his job as much as this guy (didnt get his name) Ambience of the place was super nice and modern too!

The texture of the grilled beef was a major letdown. Instead of the tender, slightly charred, and juicy texture that good grilled beef should have, it was tough and lacked the flavorful caramelization that comes from proper grilling. It seemed like the grill was more steaming the beef than grilling it, which resulted in an unappealing, chewy texture. On a positive note, the food had a great selection, and the staff was friendly.

Fabulous Yakiniku place on Ferry! Easy to get to (we walked from the hotel, but it s very close to where the WeGo bus stops). Our waiter, A.K. was wonderfully upbeat and helpful. So was the rest of the staff! They also have some great non-grilled sides such as Katsu-don (fried chicken) that was great to have for my youngest who is a picky eater. He loved cooking things on the grill though!! My kids can t wait to go again. Highly suggest the Angus Beef for any meat eater, Katsu-don for the kids who won t try new things, grilled sweet onion, zucchini, and the pineapple for some things to go in between the copious amount of meat you are going to eat. There are some more Korean based items on the menu (bibimbap and Korean spiced kimchi) that are a lovely addition to the menu for variety. It is all you can eat, so bring an appetite!

One of servers are rude and not very accommodating. The way he approached us made us feel that he was just doing us a big favor. And tone of his voice was not very friendly. The food was okay. Nothing special. Mediocre meat. Not worth the price. To think that you ll have to pay $54 plus tax plus tip (72$) Not worth it. Not very happy with our first experience dining here. Never going back again.

My best friend and I love kbbq and wanted to try the Japanese BBQ when I found out about it. Beyond wonderful. The food was great, such quality meats. The fried selection that we chose was delicious, the side dishes were excellent. Everything was super tasty. The staff was absolutely lovely!! Paul was our server and was so kind, answered our silly questions and kept checking in. When Paul wasn t around the others were just as attentive. You dare look at the menu, they are making sure you don t want to get something new. The place was clean and had great ambience. All in all if you re looking for a great ayce jbbq restaurant this is it. 20/10 will be back!
