Nikko Sushi
4.6 / 5 (3425 reviews)

Description

Offering a tantalizing array of traditional and American-style sushi, this restaurant has charmed many with its high-quality fish and delectable rolls, especially the chirashi and Lion King roll. While the food earns high praise, the service experience has been inconsistent; some diners reported feeling rushed and encountering less-than-friendly staff. However, many highlight that the relaxed atmosphere enhances the dining experience, despite some complaints about the cold environment. Overall, this sushi spot is lauded as one of the best in Berkeley, with a few service caveats that might warrant attention for a truly remarkable culinary outing.

Mid place. The food is ok but the service is bad. Ordered a salmon roll but it looked nothing like on the picture, no sauce added. The unagi don has few unagi on it Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $20–30 Food: 4 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 5

The food at Nikko Sushi was tasty, but the service left something to be desired. My server seemed distant and made me feel hurried. During my meal, she asked if I wanted to order more, which made me feel like I was just taking up space. On top of that, flies were buzzing around my table, making it hard to fully enjoy my meal as I kept shooing them away. Thankfully, none ended up in my food. While the sushi was excellent, the overall dining experience was less than stellar.

The sushi at Nikko Sushi is outstanding, featuring fresh, high-quality fish and a wide selection of tasty rolls. However, during my recent visit, the service fell short. The waitress appeared inexperienced and responded rudely when I requested two extra glasses to share wine with my friends, despite them showing their IDs. Customer service should always be a priority, even in situations of disagreement. I expect staff to remain patient and professional, which was unfortunately missing this time.
