Anime fan? Go here! Not an anime fan? Go here anyway!
The first thing you notice when walking in are all of the anime inspired art on the walls and the life sized statue greeting you at the door! Very cool and modern.
The dinner menu had all the regular Japanese BBQ items but everything was very good and fresh. The food came out quickly and everything we ordered was really good! Shout out to the sake clams (in foil). Even though they take a while to cook, they were really good!
Where Niku really stood out to me was their outstanding service. Our waiter was super friendly and attentive, and really fun to talk to. He took the time to explain the table side seasoning and soy sauce. He also helped us cook some of our foiled food on another grill since our grill was a little on the weak side. The other staff were also really nice when they brought out food and when we needed anything.
I've been to a few different Japanese BBQ restaurants but Niku has to be near the top of the list! Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Olic M.Palisades Park, United States111Aug 24, 2024

We are here in Niagra Falls for a long weekend - our first time visiting the area. When looking for a place for dinner, Niku Japanese BBQ stood out when looking over reviews. The staff answered our phone call promptly & answered all our questions before we were there. On arrival, we were greeted and seated promptly. Decor was fun and lively. Tables had nice separations, and music was at a good level to allow conversations yet lively to give Niku a good vibe throughout. AK was our waiter, and he kept the pace at a great level and very friendly. He explained their concept, which is similar to the AYCE Korean BBQ we go to in Las Vegas. Food was delicious - you can not go wrong, and if in doubt, ask the staff. They told us the butter trick for the shrimp to which as modified to include the spice powder. Hits of the night - Grilled Shrimp & Curry Butter Chicken!!!

Went here for dinner during our free period for a Niagara Falls tour from downtown Toronto. We had 3.5 hours to kill after a city cruise to the falls. I didn't want to eat fast food or at a chain that had bad reviews. So I found this place with great reviews and was not disappointed!
It's a 15-20 minute walk from the view of the falls, but it's worth it and will help you work up an appetite. I believe dinner AYCE price on a Monday-Thursday is $50pp. Not cheap, but just order things that are more expensive like meat. Don't get distracted by the sides. ;)
First I want to say that we are visiting from SF. And the service at this spot tonight was the best of our trip so far! And this is the 4th night of our visit so we've been to a few spots. We were greeted right away by the nicest guy. And then our server was super sweet too! A woman also helped us a few times and was giving tables tips on what to order. She even told us we should try the garlic butter sauce with our shrimp, and she was right! So good to dip it in the sauce after it was cooked.
We had prime short rib, marinated short rib, prime angus, brisket, pork belly, marinated lamb, kalbi strip, and shrimp for the meats. Sides of lettuce for wrapping, one bowl of rice, kimchi, asparagus, and sauce combo of ssamjang and garlic. Their house made soy sauce was delicious, along with their seasoning.
Everything was tasty but my least favorite meats were the marinated short rib, prime angus, and marinated lamb. The marinated short rib just didn't compare to the prime short rib. The prime angus was just ok, nothing that special. And the marinated lamb was tasty but so fatty. I would order the other meats and sides again though.
Almost forgot we also had the sake steamed clams (yum) and then finished the meal with chocolate fondue for dessert. Came with strawberry, banana, and a marshmallow. SO simple but so tasty!!
Check out this spot if you're visiting the area. It's worth the walk away from the bright lights of that area! Highly recommend.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 1 - Louise M.San Francisco Bay Area, United States031Sep 16, 2024
We had an excellent experience at Niku Japanese BBQ! The service was impressively fast, and the staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. They guided us through our choices and made great recommendations. The quality of the meat was outstanding, and we really appreciated the attention to detail. As first-timers, we loved every moment and can't wait to return. Highly recommend for anyone looking for delicious food and top notch! Great ambiance!
Ps: they help us charge our phone too!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Erin K.New York, United States993823Aug 7, 2024
Great service and enjoyed every part of the dining experience. Come with an empty belly and ready to eat. The servers were accommodating and made the meal informative and enjoyable. They are all very insightful and kind. The food was clean, plenty and meat was tender.

Place was an all you can eat place. Very good meat and seafood selections and they aren't skimpy. Food was flowin! Was very attentive and quickly got everything out so you can maximize your time. Ambiance was typical of Japanese bbq. Had some Korean sides which was good. Deserts were a little... i don't know how to describe other than when you go to those mass produced Buffett deserts. Wasn't bad but nothing special.
