Go to restaurant.com if you want a a discount for this place. I bought a $25.00 gift certificate for a measly $2.00. For it to be validated by Niko Niko Sushi, all you have to do is purchase $35.00 worth of food and Dine there. After, 3 rolls, a bottle of Sake, tax and tip, my tab came out to $26.00. Score!
Pros: SIZE - The rolls are bigger than you would find at your standard
sushi Joint.
MENU - It is extensive with something for everyone.
Additionally, all the rolls have accompanying photographs on
the menu.
Cons: PRICE - Honestly, I wouldn't come back here if I didn't have a
gift certificate. Yes, the size makes up for it, but not enough. If
you are a "Quantity over Quality" kind of person, then disregard
this portion of my review.
TOO MUCH SAUCE - I ordered 3 different rolls and each one
was drenched in the same orange sauce. My mistake for
ordering similar rolls, I suppose. But even if I had ordered just
one of these rolls, the sauce (while okay but maybe a bit
sweet for me) was used excessively.
The rolls I tried were the tnt, volcano and dynamite. The VOLCANO was BEST IN TERMS OF FLAVOR but structurally, it didn't hold up. I'd have to agree with everyone else here; The TNT was MY FAVORITE ROLL - probably because of the tempura shrimp and it had the least amount of orange sauce on it. The Dynamite Roll was just "so-so."
While I don't think this place has potential for a 4 or 5 star rating, I think, so long as you choose wisely from the menu, ask them to take it easy on the sauces and grab a restaurant.com certificate, you'll be more than content with a meal here. Taking my own advice, I'll return and give-it-a-go once more. Perhaps, I'll add a 3rd star if I feel "my approach" changes my overall impression of my meal.
