Based on the strong reviews we decided to give Niko Sushi & Steak a try. We arrived Monday around 6pm. We were seated immediately and the place was bustling. 2 sushi chefs and I saw maybe 2 cooks in the back. Our waitress promptly took our order. I ordered a specialty roll and my son ordered the salmon nigiri . I also ordered hot green tea. Rolls came out pretty quick. However my roll was loosely pressed and the Tuna was incomplete with sear, it seared oddly. Coloring and consistency was off. Like an opalescent grey. See pic. It did not look appetizing to me. I ate it and it was tasty but again the rice was not compressed enough to give you a satisfying bite. The salmon nigiri rolls were good Also I didn't care for the presentation. The two orders should have been separated but were plated on the same plate . The miso soup was 10 stars. Delicious and a rich flavor Tofu pieces were semi firm My salmon combo dish was just okay. Salmon was dry and a bit fishy , however once dipped in the sauces it was good . The sauces were its saving grace. The veggies were well seasoned and a variety given. The rice was dry and didn't have a fresh steamed flavor or consistency We always have steamed rice at home and this just didn't have a fresh flavor or consistency. Salad was fresh, crisp and the ginger dressing was yummy. Weird Note regarding service. Once we appeared finished with our rolls (I left 1/3 of the speciality roll ) our waitress asked if we were ready for the check and if she could bring us a box . We reminded her of our main entrees we ordered and she was very apologetic and said she would check on them . Hot green tea was served in an iron tea pot. I'm thinking this was just an off night for them as the place was busy with to-go customers and other diners happily eating read more

The food is always exceptional and it's more than value for money. I really do like their Pork Shumai appetizer. Another favorite of mine is the Agadashi Tofu. I've never had Tofu taste as good read more

Niko Sushi & Steak - Tofu Steak! This is just absolute genius and it is - Japanese Near Me - Laramie, Wyoming

This was a disappointment. I was looking for a Poke bowl, and one of the reviews said they had them, but they do not. We stayed anyway for the sushi. The sushi was just okay, nothing to race back for. And the service was TERRIBLE. One of the items were ordered they were out of, another roll never came, despite our asking about it. The server said the chef said we got everything we ordered. When we got the bill they had charged us for the missing roll, and the chef just shrugged. At least they took off the charge! Needless to say, we won't be back! read more

I love Niko Sushi. The food is always on point for me, tastes fresh, and even when I get takeout it is thoughtfully presented and delicious. There is one server there in particular (whose name I unfortunately forget, but he offers a bow of respect when serving and thanking) who always done a fantastic job. He is welcoming, attentive, knowledgeable and sweet. My only critique is that the Miso Soup could use a lot more seaweed and tofu! Its already delicious and would just be taken above and beyond if I could get more than two tofu bits per serving. Otherwise I have only good things to say about this place. My favorite sushi roll is Fire Roll with the seared steak on top lovely lovely food, thank you guys. read more

Great service, nice people around. The food was very good. The new item in the menu was a seared tune. It was cooked properly but, it seems, the tuna was previously frozen, and it did change the taste. In my sashimi tuna was wonderful. Keep going! The price is very reasonable. Thank you! read more

We went on a Sunday night and it was empty, which was surprising because the food was excellent! We tried quite a few dishes and all were great. The prices seemed fair and service was excellent. read more

So good! Didn't expect good sushi in Wyoming but was totally satisfied. Good prices compared to coastal cities. Excellent service.

The food and ambience are 5 star! I had a spicy tuna roll and the spicy hibachi chicken. Both were incredibly flavorful and highly satisfying. The service was top notch. I will be back!! read more

Great sushi, great service. Small place but nice inside. Best sushi I have had in the Cheyenne, Laramie area.

Rainbow Roll: crab, avocado, cucumber topped w. 5 kinds of fish Black Dragon Roll: shrimp tempura, cucumber, avocado topped w. eel sauce and sesame seeds Rising Sun Roll: California roll, baked salmon and dynamite sauce, eel sauce, green onion, sesame seeds We ordered them as take out. We took bites of the food before taking the pictures. They were delicious, definitely will order from here again. read more

I got the cucumber roll. I can't remember the name. No rice. It was pretty good. Soup was normal, good. My date got the tuna. Scallop was shared and was delicious. Service was a bit slow, but polite. I would recommend. read more

Both times I've gotten sushi here, I ended up with scales in my mouth. If it was a one-off, I'd be a little more generous, but it happened twice! The non-scaly pieces also just didn't taste great, so I can't say I recommend Niko for sushi. I have only gotten takeout and have only ordered sushi, so I can't speak to the ambiance, service, or other food items, but I don't see myself coming back here to try anything else based on my experiences. read more

It's interesting and tasty. It's totally unlike any sushi experience I've ever had. I give it 4 stars regionally adjusted. Worth a visit.

Great Neighborhood Place for SUSHI ! Over 5 years of eating here. Wide Variety on MENU -Teriyaki Chicken, Steak & TOFU Available. SAKI & BEER Avail. Food is Always Fresh , Friendly & Quick Service! read more

Very creative options. If you like spicy kick they are good at it! I personally like completely mild. Service was great. Really nice and fast service. Comfortable seats and atmosphere. Surprising good forniste a little door. read more

Walked in at closing and hoped to place a to go order, they said it was no problem. They were super friendly and chatty while the chef worked on our order. We offered 5 rolls to take back to our hotel and all were delish! My favorite was the bbq eel avocado roll, this I would go back for any day! read more

Great service and the food was amazing. The best homemade teriyaki sauce I have ever had. I can't wait to go back.

We stopped by yesterday with the family and had an epic experience! The bison roll was really good as was everything else we ordered. Definitely Japanese but with a nice western flair. The staff was really nice and helpful and I would highly recommend this place to anyone who comes into Laramie. read more

We were on a weekend trip in WY and wanted to find a nice dinner place. Found this on Yelp and decided to take a shot. We saw there were so many to offer on the menu so it was a good place for a group of people. Food was excellent and service was awesome. Food came out quickly and delicious. I would say it was very neat place close to the campus. So, we made a good choice. read more

Best sushi in town! Allergy friendly and always so kind. The owner is so amazing and I've never had anything I didn't like. I hated sushi till I tried theirs! read more

Honestly the freshest sushi in town. This is a total local favorite. The sushi is great of course and some of their entrees like the katsudon hit the spot for a big comfort food style meal. you can't go wrong with most anything on the menu, definitely give this place a try. read more

Im from Ca and this sushi spot is like any sushi spot in Ca. Fish tastes fresh and service is awesome. Never any complaints when I eat here.

Genuinely friendly staff, and really, fresh Sushi in the middle of Wyoming!. love the "Godzilla " balls! read more

So 2 days ago we ordered sushi from here and had a terrible experience. They called us today asking how our experience had been. They said they had a new trainee. Upon hearing our dissatisfaction they said they would re-do our order for free. They delivered right on time, the roll we had asked to be fried last time (and wasn't then) was done beautifully, they gave us the beef roll like we had asked for instead of the chicken like last time. Everything had more flavor and the knife cuts on the sashimi actually went through the fish and were done much more prifessionally. We were very pleased with today's order and we will try them again. Thanks to the management for wanting satisfied customers. read more

Niko Sushi & Steak - Much better quality - Japanese Near Me - Laramie, Wyoming

I like Niko sushi. (Makuni is good too though). My favorite sushi at niko is the sunshine roll topped with salmon. It's $10 and every time I've ordered it I find that you get decent sized rolls and the fish tastes fresh. The servers are very nice. Check in and they give you 10%off except sat&sun. read more

Excellent sushi! Which is saying a lot in WY! Real crab, great poke w/macadamia nuts, tempura and sea weed salad. Excellent lobster tempura roll and rainbow roll. And sashimi! read more

I got some food to go during my trip to Laramie! It was quick, and completely hassle free order and pick up. The food was pretty good (I got the Agedashi tofu, shrimp tempura and the chicken bowl) and the portions are massive! The cashier and the waitress handing my food were also super nice and friendly while I waited a couple min for my food. Definitely recommend and will go back if I'm ever in Laramie. read more

One of the best restaurants in town, hands down. Staff is always on point, food is delicious, and the menu is huge. My favorite item on the menu is the miso soup. The servers, chefs, and cooks really do a great job. Even if you don't like seafood, try a hibachi dinner! You will not regret it. read more

Perfect for a girls' night out before going downtown. Not a lot of seating, but they were able to get a large group of us in quickly (for it being a Saturday night). I got the philadelphia roll, as did one other girl in our group who was new to sushi. She wished she would've started off with a more "beginner" sushi and laughed it off as having tried the experience at least. While I enjoyed the roll, my favorite philadelphia roll still comes from the sushi place down the street (not to name drop or anything). My only complaint was that the philadelphia roll should also come with avocado. Can't miss it as you're driving by- just look for the neon lights read more

Excellent sushi for road-weary travelers! While on a road trip passing through we stopped in for a late lunch. Very good service and sushi! Friendly staff, and we would go there again if we weren't just passing through. read more

This is not the sushi place I'd visit in Laramie. The fish was extremely old and overpriced.

Food is good and service is excellent. Had some food restriction issues and they really worked with us! read more

It is a little place right across from U of WY. Hard to believe but great sushi in Wyoming. All of the food is excellent with a very nice and friendly staff. The rolls are nice size and look as good as they taste. This place is a real treat to have in Laramie. Check them out you won't be disappointed. Please note this isn't your $200 a meal sushi place. The food quality cost ratio makes it 5 star. read more

BEST sushi place in town! Always amazing service and quality food! Their crunchy California roll is TO DIE FOR!

Haven't been here in a while & now I'm wondering why! Taylor was our server, so prompt, courteous and let me give him grief! We started with the Niko Vegetable Roll...oh my folks...delicious, truly. All veggies: the textures, flavors...going again tomorrow ! Truly worth giving it a try! read more

Quality sushi in Laramie! The style is simple preparation of fresh fish. This restaurant although small puts together great sushi and many other Japanese dishes do not miss!! If you have been settling for downtown sushi-- brave the construction and see for yourself. Great parking on the east side of the building and easy access to the front door. Wine, beer, and featured drinks!! Expensive but well worth the $$. read more

Ordered Carry out due to rona and it was ready very quickly. The sushi was great. Would absolutely recommend

My fiancée and I had 2 hibachi meals he had the steak and rice, the steak was dry and meal was cold I had the chicken and steak teriyaki meal with fried rice and the best I can say was that the hottest thing served was the rice. Our waitress was more interested in serving beer than getting hot food out and completely avoided answering a question my fiancée asked about purchasing a bottle of the plum wine. On a better note we also had an order of California rolls that were amazing. Too bad can't just rate the sushi. read more

Sushi tasted like it came out of a man-made lake. Lacking in fresh ingredients should probably be an expectation for land-locked state like Wyoming, but it's no excuse for yellowtail that tastes just like a dock smells. Disappointed. The udon and hibachi was mediocre at best. Would not recommend. The owner was responsive to my review. If you don't like it, let her know an she'll hook you up. read more

Update: I received a very nice response from the owner for my previous review giving exact timing details. So I wish to modify my review slightly, as his attentiveness deserves a response. The food is more like 3 1/2 stars, but the service was very slow. My daughters recommended this place after the football game. I am still not sure why restaurants don't allow you to make reservations on game day (the owner said it was because people don't show up, which is sad that a few people ruin it for responsible diners like me). We arrived and the small restaurant was full (maybe 30 total seats). We had a party of 7, and we were the only ones waiting. I ordered beef teppanyaki. Half the table ordered sushi, the other half ordered cooked food. We then proceeded to wait quite a while for our food to come out (the owner said there was someone new, they were understaffed). The soup, salad, entrees and sushi all arrived at the same time, instead of in courses, which I did not appreciate. The restaurant was not even half full by this time. Perhaps I'll give it a try again when it's not a game day. read more
