Reviews for Niko Japanese Restaurant in Ellicott City, MD

Delicious food very filling had leftovers, definitely will come back again.

My first (and last) visit to this sushi restaurant after reading some good reviews. Seated at the sushi bar I had the sushi... deluxe entree and it was just okay. But then (and this completely grossed me out) I noticed the sushi chef was chewing food,coughed, and a small piece of food came out of his mouth onto the food prep area. I sat (grossed out) and observed for a fewmore minutes and the chef coughed several more times. Never did he leave the food prep area nor cover his mouth. AbsolutelyGROSS! I usually don't write reviews but I felt this needed to be said. I will never eat at this place again because that memorywill never leave my brain. Read more

Food was really good and it was filling but a lil heart can b put in the service?orange white roll and Double trouble were... delicious and so were the veggie noodles with a perfect crunch of broccoli & toasted sesame seeds. We were asked for drinksbefore even taking a seat and didn?t even ask if we wanted any dessert. Read more

I was pleasantly surprised about this little gem in Ellicott City. This was the original owner of the Niko in Normandy shopping... center who was running a great operation there until it was shut down. I ordered a boat if sushi and it had fresh fish withdecent flavored rice. The uni was a nice touch which we ordered a la carte Read more

Loved Niko! Came with my family, and we tried the Katsu Donburi, the Chirashi, and some sushi rolls. Everything was delicious,... came out quickly and we were served with friendly faces and smiles. When they heard we were celebrating a birthday, we weregiven ice cream on the house to celebrate too. Highly recommend, will be back! Read more

I came to Niko Restuarant with my family, and we were greeted and felt very welcomed by Howard, the sushi chef/owner. The... atmosphere of the restaurant is very peaceful with some decorations, and there is music softly playing in the background. Wewere seated promptly, and the menu is very straight forward with two sides. There is a separate a la carte menu that you need toask for that lists all the various special rolls and nigiri pieces. The prices are very reasonable for the sushi, and they alsoserve hot food for those who don't eat sushi. The sushi taste very fresh, and I would highly recommend the Chirashi Sushibecause it contains a good amount of variety with enough fish to serve one person. I will definitely be returning to NikoRestaurant whether it's dining in or taking out. Read more

The special today was double trouble roll and it was awesome! Basically everything we got was really good. They had some really... good flavor combinations. Service was a little slow but they apologized so maybe that is not norm. We will definitely be headedback! Read more

The sushi, sashimi, roll platter for three people hit the spot. I couldn't have asked for a better meal at the time. The... ingredients were very fresh and the service was very friendly. I will definitely come back in the future. Read more
