This place was a 10/10. Valerie was incredibly friendly, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable about both the sushi menu and the drinks. She took the time to answer our questions, gave us fantastic recommendations, and genuinely seemed to care about making sure we had the best experience possible. Everything she suggested was spot on! It's rare to get service that stands out this much. Valerie went above and beyond from start to finish and was a huge part of why we enjoyed our night so much. We felt like we were back on vacation in Chicago at an upscale high-rise sushi restaurant. The vibes were awesome. read more

Nikuya Rooftop - Sinclair, Cowboys kiss, Golden rolls - Sushi Bars Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

We sat outside despite being over 90 degrees in July. The inside is really small and really a bar. Outside has better ambience and was pretty dead given the temperature. The menu is limited. The food is spectacular. you just have to be a bit adventurous. We loved the sushi. The ones with the dipping sauces were incredible. I'm really happy they turned this place into a stand alone restaurant from the hotel. Such a nice environment and unique menu. read more

Nikuya Sushi Rooftop Bar at The Sinclair Hotel is truly a hidden gem in downtown Fort Worth. The sushi is absolutely amazing--fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The rooftop views and atmosphere make it a perfect spot for date night or a night out with friends. A couple of things to keep in mind before you go: because the rooftop is surrounded by glass, it gets extremely hot during the day when the sun is shining. I highly recommend visiting later in the afternoon or at night to fully enjoy the experience and the incredible downtown views. Also, there is a two-hour seating limit, likely because there are only 16 chairs in the bar area, so plan accordingly if you're hoping to linger. Overall, the food and ambiance are fantastic, and I'll definitely be back for another sushi night under the city lights! read more

We enjoyed this place though getting a reservation was challenging even on a weekday. Make sure you make reservations. We would've loved to sit outside but we weren't presented with that option so we had to sit at the bar, which was okay but would've loved to sit outside since we were going to a rooftop restaurant. We started with a salmon crudo which was very good along with a couple of cocktails. Our rolls were fresh and very good as well but nothing super memorable. We enjoyed the nikuya cut and golden bite but did not like the cowboy kiss at all compared to popular opinion, we thought it had an unpleasant crunch. Service overall was very good, we would return here and try to sit outside for a better experience. read more

Visited Nikuya on a Friday evening (10pm reservation). While most of what we ate was 10/10 - very complex and depthy, well thought out flavor profiles, and the outdoor ambiance was definitely dreamy - the service and "togetherness" of the experience was lacking. Maybe they're new, maybe they were EOD & lost attention to detail, maybe short staffed - all which could explain, we still had a very nice time and will definitely go back, but will prob give them some time to work out kinks first. Otherwise, a nice new addition to downtown & the upscale sushi world here! read more

This is such an amazing "hidden gem" that I'm sure won't be hidden much longer. We were lucky to score 2 seats on a Friday night which is not easy and without reservations nearly impossible. (The view from the top at night is ) We were greeted by an amazing staff at the top of the Sinclair Hotel and were seated with a front row seat to the chefs work. The sake and cocktail menu is incredible and the staff is extremely knowledgeable on both the drinks and the food. The menu isn't super expansive which means that they do amazing work in every single piece that is sent from the chef. Every single thing we had was bursting with flavors and textures. The edamame hummus was like nothing I'd ever experienced. The handrolls were fresh. The sushi was the perfect portions. You MUST try the oysters. Even if the usual "fishy" oysters aren't your thing, the foam and trout roe make each bite an incredible mouth adventure. With them only being open 6 weeks, it was incredible to see how efficient and expert everyone was at their stations already. My wife is Gluten Free and they were so helpful in coordinating with the chef as the what could be prepared GF without compromising our experience. It did NOT disappoint. In fact the staff told us that we were helpful in curating future menus and denoting "gf" on the menu for future guests. The next time we are in Funky Town we will Definitely be getting a reservation here. read more

We decided to have a girls night and check out this restaurant located at the top of The Sinclair hotel. Baby... let me tell you; this place was absolute fire! We tried nearly the whole menu (literally, we may have missed maybe 3 dishes and there wasn't a single miss). The Rich Daddy stole the entire show -- and was easily the best thing we ate. I'm already planning my return so I can order about 7,282,929 more. The rolls were great, the nigiri sushi was fresh, the appetizers slapped, and the drinks all were good. (I think I just found my new favorite old fashioned) Huge shoutout to our server, Hannah -- she was fantastic. She was attentive and extremly friendly and made the whole night even better. My girlfriends and I have been ranting and raving about this place nonstop, and we will definitely be coming back. read more

We had an incredible experience at the new rooftop sushi restaurant on top of the Sinclair Hotel in downtown Fort Worth. Parking is easy with either street parking or the Sinclair's valet. Be sure to stop by the Wicked Butcher host stand first as you'll need to be escorted to the elevator for access up. Once you step off the elevator, your reservation is confirmed and you're guided to either the patio or the indoor sushi bar. We booked patio seating, got cooler throughout the evening, but the staff were very accommodating with moving us closer to a nearby fire pit. Inside seating is limited, so reservations are a must. We booked through the RESY app, which was super simple and even sent reminders a few days ahead and on the day of. You can note allergies or celebrations in the app, though the staff will confirm again once you're seated. Our server, Hannah, was fantastic. Very knowledgeable of the menu and perfectly attentive. She paced each dish beautifully throughout the night and made the whole experience feel special. You're welcomed with a complimentary glass of bubbles and the chef's amuse-bouche, which is such a classy touch. Now for the food--we tried nearly the entire menu and everything was fresh, presented beautifully and full of flavor: Appetizers Scallop Crudo Oysters Tuna Tartare (favorite!) Handrolls Juicy Pop Crabby Hands Rich Daddy (favorite!) Makimono Sweet Escape Nikuya Cut (favorite!) The Sinclair Cowboy Kiss (on the house due to a nearby table's order mix-up--very kind gesture) Nigiri Hamachi Chutoro A friend ordered one of each off the Nigiri menu and said everything she tried was excellent as well. We still have a few items left to explore, and we're already planning our next visit to experience Omakase style at the sushi bar. Highly recommend for the stunning views, memorable dishes, and top-tier service. Fort Worth truly needed this addition. read more

The good: The ambience is lovely. Nice decor. Beautiful views. The hand rolls and oysters were delicious. They were kind enough to accommodate me at the bar without a reservation. The mid: Drinks were average. I eventually just ordered a beer. The sushi rolls were flavorless in my humble opinion (yes, even with the sauces). Service was not at the level of "upscale" dining, if we're considering it that. My entrees came out before the appetizer and my plates were never cleared (wouldn't have been that big a deal but your personal eating area is tight). The bad: The place is not accessible. The elevator never arrived, so the front desk had to key me in, then I had to climb stairs to finally access the place. What if a person with a disability wants to eat there? Back to service, the check was pushed over to me at the end (maybe I didn't order enough?) and picked up long before I was even halfway through my last beer. Lastly, maybe they should consider better air conditioning as that whole place is a room of windows, as well as ambient music to drown out that one annoying girl on a date at the end of the bar that never shuts up! LoL. read more

Good sushi, small portions and it's expensive. Nice rooftop is a plus. I would go back for special occasions, but not for a regular dining experience. read more

The sushi was absolutely delicious and incredibly fresh. Every dish was beautifully prepared and you can really taste the quality. It was such a pleasant surprise.

Great food and service. Small bar top restaurant, reservations is a must. Views are spectacular.

Date Night at Nikuya Rooftop = Perfection Nikuya Rooftop gave romance and good food energy all night. The sushi was so fresh and buttery it almost stole the show from my date. Every roll was a hit -- clean flavors, beautiful presentation, and that melt-in-your-mouth moment that just makes you close your eyes and smile. The rooftop vibe was dreamy, the lighting was flattering (bless them), and the service was on point. It felt like the perfect mix of elegant and fun -- the kind of place that makes a date feel special without trying too hard. If you're looking for a spot that makes the whole night feel elevated, this is it. 10/10 sushi, 10/10 ambiance, 10/10 date night. read more

Amazing experience! And the best sushi! Just what Fort Worth was missing!! Will be back again and telling all my friends.

The food was above average. Closest to NYC sushi in the Lone Star State. (Yes, even over Uchi, Tei Tei, etc.) The trip to the top is a nice one. Travel through the 1930s Sinclair's Art Deco vibes to the roof where you can burn on the open patio or sit in the all-glass air-cooled atrium where the bar is. This is where we ate. Lovely wait staff. Great menu and quality. The poor A/C units were huffing and puffing for dear life though, perhaps this is on us for going in the dead of summer. No warm sake, folks, so that was the only culinary disappointment. read more

Amazing service. I was looking for a great view and quality sushi and I found it ! It was a great experience as well as a welcoming environment and great vibes and a good house music selection. This is exactly what I was looking for. Food was even more amazing. Highly recommend A5 Wagyu roll & nigiri ! Cowboy kiss and yellow tail was amazing . read more

Don't miss this spot! The rooftop vibe is unbeatable, and the menu showcases a perfect blend of quality and creativity, all served by a passionate team. Every dish on this menu is a winner. We enjoyed the tuna tartar, Rich Daddy, The Butcher, Cowboy Kiss, Golden Bite, and a couple of off-menu surprises. Each was fantastic--we couldn't decide on a favorite. read more

We had a party of eight for my birthday, and while the experience started off well, it gradually became disappointing. The service was friendly at first, although drinks were a little on the slower side. I completely understand that sushi is made fresh to order, so I expected the food to take some time. However, as the evening went on, the service noticeably slowed down. It took quite a while to get water refills and even longer to receive our check. Considering the restaurant wasn't particularly busy during our reservation, it was surprising. One thing that really caught us off guard was the birthday dessert. My husband asked if the restaurant did anything special for birthdays since the reservation was specifically for my birthday. They brought out a slice of cake, which was a nice gesture, but we later discovered we had been charged $14 for it without anyone mentioning there would be a charge. That felt misleading and definitely left a bad impression. As for the food, it was unfortunately underwhelming. Out of the five dishes I personally ordered, I truly enjoyed only one. The rest were just okay--not bad, but not memorable either. For a $243 dinner and a reservation that took over two weeks to secure, I expected a much more impressive experience. Overall, I really wanted to love this place, but between the inconsistent service and the food not living up to the hype, it just didn't meet my expectations. read more

Was excited to try it out. Sat on rooftop, perfect weather, complimentary bubbly and little appetizers. But was disappointed in the dishes. Relatively bland. Some ingredients were missing or replaced. Things said chili or wasabi and had zero spice. Nice, attentive servers. read more

My friend and I went to Nikuya Rooftop and really enjoyed our experience! The ambience was beautiful. Our waitress was attentive and timing was great. The Salmon Crudo and Tuna Tartare were recommended by our waitress for appetizers and they did not disappoint! We ordered the Cowboy Kiss and Rich Daddy hand rolls as our main and both were fantastic. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. Also-- I highly recommend the Trinity Lychee Blossom drink if you like Lychee martinis. read more

Nikuya Rooftop is a must try! Make sure to make reservations in advance and arrive on time as this place is popular and only has a few seats indoors. All indoor seats provide views of downtown. I highly suggest trying at least one item off each portion of the menu as all of the food is delicious and great to try if you have not eaten sashimi vs nigiri before. read more

I almost hate to give this review because the more people find out about it the harder it will be to get a seat/ reservation. This is by far the nicest and most professionally ran restaurant in ft worth or midcities. I can't speak for Dallas because I don't go there but in ft worth this place is awesome. The food was authentic and fantastic. The manager Colin is attentive to everything that goes on and assures everything goes smoothly. He goes above and beyond service in any restaurant I have been in literally in my life. Thanks for a great night. Carolyn our service was great as well read more

Great place to eat - if you eat at the sushi bar! The salmon crudo was the best thing ever.... The sauce was unbelievable!!! Like hard to even explain how amazing it was. The cowboy kiss I did not want because of the salmon skin - but it was my second favorite thing. Golden bite was great! Crabby hands really good. Wasn't a fan of the 2 specials we ordered - but my husband liked them. Bar tender/waitress was gre read more

Fabulous sushi chef! Engaging staff, very enjoyable evening. The outdoor roof top will be fabulous in the warmer weather

Food was okay, but not outstanding and we were rushed, rushed, rushed. We were there for about one hour. It was almost empty when we left around 7:30 on a Friday night. Would probably only come back for drinks and the view when the weather gets nicer. Will stick to Hatsuyuki and Yoichi for fabulous sushi and excellent, unrushed service. read more
