Nikko - Southlake

Trying a new place. Really like the vibe in here. It's elevated casual. I was hoping to see the full tuna cutting but I didn't realize it was on a specific day.The food was really good, high grade quality. I recommend true tuna tartare. The otoro quality is amazing, buttery and melts in your mouth! Definitely work the order. The lemon dessert was really nice tasty. Light but busting with flavor.Nothing spectacular about the service. Nothing to complain about but not memorable either.

Heard along the vines that this was a must try sushi restaurant so here I was! Decided to celebrate my birthday here with my fiance and it was pretty good! Checking in was smooth with a reservation, but man it was busy on a Saturday evening. Ambiance wise: Tables felt stacked on each other, asked for a half booth seating and each table was less than a foot away. Wasn't just the half booths, but the other tables on the floor were literally right up on each other lol. It made it so hard to get out to use the restroom. And it is SO loud here, definitely not a place to have a quiet sushi dinner date. Would probably say this was the biggest downside. Food: Impressive menu but pretty expensive. We loved everything we ordered, especially the chu toro and foie gras! The fish tasted fresh and came out quick. The dessert menu is in collab with D'Caramel Patisserie and the green tea tiramisu and ube cake was amazing!!! Service: Amazing! John took care of us really well and gave us some awesome recs.

I will admit, after seeing where it was located, I grunted a little. All I could think of, was the hassle of trying the find a parking space. Thankfully, I went around lunch time, and the parking wasn't an issue in the area where Nikko is located.Talk about Nikko, Nikko is beautiful. The ambiance is so well done, whether you visit for lunch, dinner or in the between, the setting is perfect for all three. What first grabbed my attention was the outside dining space, it was so perfect. The weather, the flowers, the location; just beautiful. Because I was a little under the weather, I chose to place an order to go. As I walked in, the young lady was very pleasant and was anxious to help with whatever questions I had. After seeing the menus, the multiple menus, I was a bit confused and didn't know where to start. The hostess was spot on and was well versed when it came to the menus, I was impressed! Excellent, hospitality!When I see a menu that large, I tend to stick to what I know is ordered most. Yes, I watch too many Gordan Ramsay shows and learned how how to navigate large menus, go for what is ordered the most. That way, you'll always know the food will be fresh. Menu: Miso soup: I'm a fan of miso soup, heck, miso all together. I did think the broth was a little too light for, I prefer a stronger miso taste; but it did hit the spot and was enjoyed. Spider Roll: Was delicious, I love soft shelled crab, the crab was so fresh and very good. Blue Crab Roll: I actually really enjoyed this roll; it was my first time to have this roll, and it will not be my last. The crab was fresh and plentiful, there was no skimping. Ube Mille Crepe Cake: I was pleased, I finally found a balanced dessert where Ube was the main ingredient. Well, done! Overall, I enjoyed this new discovery, and we will definitely be visiting again. As someone mentioned below, this is the perfect date night spot, you should get there early evening, and you'll have a better chance of finding a decent parking spot. I do feel the prices are a bit more at Nikko, but the quality speaks for itself. I can't wait to try more of what they have to offer, thank you!

Michael was our sever and absolutely the best. Super nice and helpful especially for our first time being there. The place was super packed and we were able to get in without reservations thankfully. Loved that the place had a mixture of bar seating, booths and regular tables but didn't feel like a normal bar or restaurant. I think maybe the light colored wood rather than dark? The food was so yummy. We had the five salt dish, akami yuzu foam tuna, mushroom trinity, Kinmedai Tiradito, flamed tuna and a few other dishes and sushi off the special menu. Everything was delicious and we will definitely be coming back here.

Came here for what we hoped for a quick dinner. It was packed on Tuesday night ! That was surprising. The place was modern and lit up and bright. Very nice restaurant! Lots of friends, lots of intimate dates in the booths. All the food looked amazing. We got the half priced oysters, tasted like a ponzu sauce and pickled wasabi. It was very tasty but very tiny. I can't imagine paying full price for these. The Wagyu lettuce wraps tasted like bulgogi marinade. The beef quality did not taste like Wagyu. So we liked it but didn't love it. The table near us got the fried chicken lettuce wraps and that looked better. The protein roll is our fav. I love a carbless roll. This was hefty but so was the price tag. Overall the food was good but expensive. We were on our way to another dinner, so wanted a light quick meal. It was $70-80 for the 3 dishes and took 2 hrs. It was busy tonight and they seemed overwhelmed. We ended up packing our dessert to go. That was the confusing part. The dessert looks ready made but took about 20-30 mins to come out.

Very impressed with this place. In two days I went for lunch and then dinner. The biggest portion of lunch I ever had anywhere. They offer bento box and then your choice of an entree for lunch. And for dinner they have a full menu and amazing drinks. Its nicely lit and they offer booths and tables. The manager Ross came by during lunch and made us feel welcomed. During dinner I had another manager come by as well but I didn't catch his name. Must try!

Nikko Southlake is a fancy, stylish sushi restaurant with great food and wine. They host fun tuna cutting events regularly, and the staff is attentive and friendly. Prices are a bit high, but it's expected for an upscale spot.

The nigiri was very good. They have fresh tuna every weekend.The roll was really gummy. The the rice used for nigiri seemed much better.The fried mushrooms were very good.It's a beautiful restaurant, clean and lots of parking.Great service.

This was my first time here as I'm new to sushi, Ross and Michael were great and we will definitely be back!

Everything was perfect went for my 22nd birthday they threw in a green tea tiramisu it's amazing best one I've ever had! They also have the best quality sushi rice I've ever had, fyi I've been eating sushi since I was 4 years old and I've eaten it for almost every birthday and this is definitely the on the top 3 places I've ever eaten Food~10/10 Service~10/10Environment~10/10
