    Crazy Salmon Roll | IG @moniquedao
    Monique D.

    Update 8/9/26: Came back here for lunch and was disappointed with pretty much everything we ordered this time. My Anaheim Roll was less than stellar. First of all, I did appreciate that they replaced the eel with extra salmon without charging me anything extra. However, each bite had a weird taste that I couldn't quite figure out. It took me a few minutes to realize it was the crunchy topping they put on the roll. Normally, I'm a big fan of the crunchy stuff they put on sushi rolls, but this time it tasted old, funky, and stale. Unfortunately, it completely ruined every bite of the roll. My boyfriend also said the salmon and tuna in his poke bowl didn't taste as fresh as what he's had at other restaurants. And finally, my spicy garlic edamame had a sour taste to it, which I also wasn't a fan of. Overall, pretty disappointing meal this time around. Hopefully, it was just an off day because we've had better experiences here before.

    Gyoza as of the end of July 2026 - I would pass on this.

    We came here after watching a YouTube review by Rockstar Eater, so we were excited to give it a try. Unfortunately, we left a bit underwhelmed. The customer service was excellent. Our waitress was incredibly kind, attentive, and made sure to get our order in before happy hour ended, which we really appreciated. The food, however, didn't quite live up to the hype. While the seafood was fresh and the quality was decent, it wasn't anything we couldn't find closer to home in Garden Grove. During happy hour, the pricing is a great value--you can get two rolls for around $20--but my husband felt the portions were on the smaller side. We ordered the Alaska Roll, Crunch Roll, Rainbow Roll, and Dynamite Roll. The Dynamite Roll was our least favorite, as it was overly mushy and seemed overcooked. For appetizers, we tried the calamari and gyoza. The calamari had a nicely seasoned, crispy batter, but the squid itself was unusually soft and had a strange stringy texture when biting into it. The gyoza was perfectly fine, but fairly standard and nothing particularly memorable. Our total came to $73.60 for four rolls and two appetizers, including an 18% tip. Regardless of how we felt about the food, we were happy to tip because great service deserves to be recognized. Our waitress was friendly, efficient, and attentive throughout the meal, and she is the reason we're giving this restaurant three stars.

    For a Saturday afternoon at 1pm, place was not busy! Service was ok, staff didn't come check on us or refill waters. Food was just ok. The tuna inside the Niku Roll had a funny taste to it. The salmon hand rolls were good, but the rice on the nigiri sushi was soaked with some type of sauce, maybe ponzu or something. Wasn't the vinegar typical rice. Alaska Roll had way too much crab meat. This place has better hand rolls and nigiri, but not great sushi rolls. Lunch AYCE is $38 and you can only order premium pieces, one order only! Have to wait 10 minutes before next order. They had too many rules on that tablet.

    The service was excellent, and the ambiance was warm, relaxing, and inviting. I visited with my family, and we all truly enjoyed our dining experience. Each of us ordered a different entrée from the menu, which gave us the opportunity to try a variety of dishes. Every meal was delicious, with unique flavors that made each plate stand out. We had a wonderful experience and look forward to coming back!

    Exhibit 1: Niku's past health code violations.

    *NOT AUTISM FRIENDLY* This is not a bad review, just a warning to other parents out there. I wanted to treat my friend to sushi, and she has a toddler who can't eat new foods. I called ahead to ask about their kids menu, then picked up a happy meal at McDonald's since they do not have chicken nuggets. The host up front let us know that Niku had a strict outside food policy. He was very kind about it, but it was still shocking and even felt a bit discriminatory. I understand that restaurants are legally allowed to deny service since they carry all liability for any food consumed on the premise, but at the same time, people with disabilities are also allowed service dogs even though animals in restaurants are considered a health code violation. I guess the law just needs to catch up to include autistic people as well. Again, not a poor review. Just a word of warning. EDIT: Actually, just researched it!! It is in violation of ADA law. We did not bring in competing food (since it was a happy meal to a sushi restaurant), and we didn't ask for the kitchen to prepare the food (heat it up) in any way so no cross contamination. Hopefully, we can both learn from this experience. RESPONSE: Hi, Angela. Please research the matter fully before responding. This is not considered cross contamination since the outside food is not being handled or prepared by kitchen staff or even crossing into food preparation areas. It would be more of a violation if kitchen and service staff were eating in food prep areas. (And with all due respect, seeing as to Niku's past health code violations which are public information, outside food doesn't seem to be your biggest issue anyway.) Here's the bottom line: According to ADA law (please reference Title III) and California's Unruh Civil Rights Act, Autism is a disability requiring meal modifications. It is recognized that federal and state laws regarding equal access for people with disabilities supersede local ordinances. There is also precedent that "outside food" is a "reasonable modification" to accommodate an Autistic toddler. You may refuse service as you are a private business, but you cannot use OC Health Codes as the excuse. I am just here to warn other parents that this establishment is not able to accommodate these specific needs. In the future, I will advocate for my friend's son better than I did that day. I am also hoping that your establishment looks into this a little more carefully as this can open you up to statutory damages should an advocate have a little more time than I do. Here's a helpful quick sheet: https://www.caspcalifornia.com/resources/ada-compliance-restaurants-guide

    Nice spot close to other businesses. Did AYCE sushi and definitely worth the price. They don't do half rolls or smaller portions on the rolls which is nice. Variety of options to order that isn't super limited. Took a little longer to get a few items on the menu but overall the food was pretty tasty.

    Continuing our search for a decent AYCE sushi place in OC, we made the 40 min trek out to Anaheim to check out Niku Sushi. We decided to go early for dinner (4pm) to avoid any potential crowds. Upon arrival, we were pleased to see that they had free parking. There are several other businesses in the area, along with residential condos right across the street. As we entered, we were surprised at how large the restaurant is. We sat in the front near the entrance, but there's a huge area in the back that can accommodate many people. As soon as we sat down, we were greeted by a friendly employee who explained the AYCE sushi process to us. Basically you order everything on the iPad that they give to you. This is an efficient method because you send your order directly to the kitchen, however I actually prefer having a paper list so I can see everything on one sheet, instead of scrolling up & down. There are limits to how many pieces you can order: Order Limit (per person, per round): * Up to 10 pieces of sushi nigiri * Up to 3 orders of soup & salad * Up to 3 orders of appetizers * Up to 2 orders of rolls (4 - 8 pcs per order) * Up to 2 orders of no-rice rolls (2 pcs per order) This makes me wonder why they call it AYCE if there are limitations. Also you must finish in 100 minutes. The AYCE price for dinner is $38.99 pp, which is lower than most AYCE places that we've tried. The fish to rice ratio was appropriate and the nigiri seemed pretty fresh. The rest of the items we ordered were not as good, such as the salmon skin hand roll (tasteless), the baked oyster and mussels (rubbery) and hubby didn't care for the Alaska roll. He said the crab part tasted funny. Overall, we would not return primarily because everything was just average and it's quite further for us to get there than other AYCE sushi places near us. Great job to the friendly staff though! They were fast and efficient.

    Came here for lunch at 12pm. There's plenty of parking as there is a private parking lot for the restaurant which is always a plus. For $38.99 each, we got the AYCE sushi. You order on an iPad and they have a large menu of appetizers, nigiri, fresh rolls, cut rolls, and hand rolls. PROS: service was quick and friendly; the sushi is so fresh and so delicious (salmon roe, yellowtail carpaccio, and salmon carpaccio were the BEST); the restaurant is very clean; $39 for fresh and great AYCE sushi is awesome; the interior is cute and the sushi is made right in front of you; plenty of TVs to watch sports and shows. CONS: the nigiri options are limited, while the menu is packed with plenty of fresh roll options; the seating arrangement for lunch can be hit or miss. If you're in the Anaheim area, this is a must try to satisfy your sushi cravings! Our waiters were great and all of the sushi is so visually appealing. The restaurant is quite big as there are basically three different seating areas. There is one area for big parties, a middle hallway for two people seating, and a large mean area with the nice interior and design. Unfortunately, we were sat in the middle hallway area as that's all they seat during lunch hours until it get packed.

    I've been passing this place for a while now and finally decided to give it a try. Did the AYCE deal and tried as much as I could the service was quick, the food was great. Only the Cajun tuna tasted a little lacking in freshness, but everything else was wonderful. I have been looking for a good AYCE place and I think this is it! Already hungry for more. We'll definitely be back with friends!

    Reasonable AYCE prices, good service, and lots of menu options here at Niku Sushi. My only complaint was the quality of the salmon (my favorite fish) was lacking - dry and not as buttery/rich. Perhaps an off day? Ikura was fishy too. However the samurai no rice roll was good along with the apps (tempura, baked mussels). Decent fish to rice ratio as well.

    After a long day at Disneyland, I was starving and looking for some fuel. At first I thought this was associated with Niku steakhouse and all the chubby cattle brands but it is not. I called ahead just to check on the wait and was pleasantly surprised that it was actually pretty empty. There's plenty of parking and I saw quite a few folks pick up to go orders but I already had my mind set on AYCE. The service is kind and I always love siting at the bar and watching the chefs do their thing. This place was super casual with the tvs on. The sushi itself was just average. I can tell you I hated the chicken skewers and the oysters. The skewers had this odd flavor profile and the oysters did not taste fresh and were so rubbery that I spit it out. All of the other sushi was just decent and average. I wouldn't get the AYCE again but it definitely looks like there are some rolls which are done well so that's prob the way to go.

    Great ambiance for group dining

    See all
