If you like Wagyu House in Rowland Heights and X Pot in Vegas, then you will LOVE their new trending hot spot Niku in LA. We took uber to LA last Friday and enjoyed our Valentine’s Dinner early to avoid the crowd. Food and service was phenomenal. Reservations recommended 📍Niku 900 Wilshire Blvd, Ste 212, Los Angeles, CA 90017 $230/pp Yakiniku Tasting Menu (Oysters, drinks, and tip not included)

We did the Yakiniku tasting menu and the overall experience was good. Next time I’d skip the tasting menu and do the la carte instead. I forgot to take a video of the amazing desserts. We had a matcha cake and it was the best I’ve had.

AYCE options of Wagyu meat and seafood

I can understand the hype, but it’s definitely not a place I’d visit again. The draw is the buffet but it’s costly, small and the food is only okay. I didn’t try everything admittedly as I wanted to focus on the yakiniku BBQ and the different wagyu meat cuts. You can order as much hot food from the waiter including lobster tails, miso cod and their ‘signature’ oxtail dumplings ( t’s terrible!) which is good and the yakisuki is interesting as the server assembles the bite for you.

The perfect ending to a decadent feast of wagyu steak, lobster, crab and sushi with matcha and yuzu cheesecake.

Good service. Love the king crabs so good, and the A5 melts in your mouth. The lobsters kinda dry and over cooked. Get the premium menu so the chef cooks for you plus extra premium items.
