Nikis Tokyo Inn

You know, as a self-proclaimed Foodie, Quality of Food is pretty important for me; but even more important for me (to get that 5-Star Rating), it’s Great Service! That genuine, down-home Service that comes across as sincere Kindness and makes you feel Welcomed and Appreciated for visiting; Yep, that’s what this place does! Definitely one of the Best Customer Service experiences I’ve received in a while—and to top it off, the Food was Super-Delicious as well! Don’t let the small building fool you as it’s been around for 52 years already so it offers a homey, down to earth ambiance with a decor of days past but the Service and the Food are so Good, everything just falls into place! From Great Appetizers/ Soups ?; to Wraps/ Sushi ?; to Tempura Family Plates and even Curry?, this place is a MUST TRY if you Enjoy Japanese Cuisine! But bring a Great Attitude and this Family-Run Business will smother you with Great Genuine Kindness and Customer Service! Heck, we didn’t even have a reservation and they still accommodated us for Dinner! Totally Enjoyed my evening with the Daughter and definitely glad she suggested this new spot for dinner; oh, and don’t forget their Wonderful Desserts—definitely the cherry that tops off the Evening! ??

Great atmosphere. Once you sat down, they give you a hot towel to clean your hands and a salad with cucumber and octopus slices. Employees are very friendly. Recommended their dinner Yakiniku, Family Dinner, and their Sushi Mix. The most authentic Japanese restaurant in town and the best one so far. Can't go wrong with any items on their menu.

An experience for sure. Make sure you have a reservation because they fill up fast! Came in to find out they don’t have a table available for another two hours. Then got lucky, they said if we paid $10 for a private room we could sit immediately which was great. We took off our shoes and sat on the floor and it was nice and cozy. Ordered food which was all GREAT. Fried rice, sushi plate was beautiful, edamame, tempura. The only reason I give this less stars is because of the two inch cockroach that flew onto my friend’s shoulder at the very end, and then flew onto the table. That ended dinner very quickly. Otherwise, FOOD was delicious and we had a very nice waitress!

MAKE SURE YOU MAKE A RESERVATION FIRST!!!!!WE ORDERED THE 10 COURSE DINNER, THINGS CAME OUT A COUPLE OR SO AT A TIME & OUR RESERVATION WAS @530 WE DIDN'T GET OUR LAST DISH TILL ALMOST 830 SO THAT WAS A BIT ANNOYING BUT THERE WERE HIGHLIGHTS.. DEFINITELY LOVED SITTING ON THE FLOOR TABLES,THEY WERE SURPRISINGLY COMFY, OF ALL THE THINGS SERVED THE FRIED LITTLE CHICKEN DRUMS THEY WERE BY FAR MY FAVORITE THING, EVERYTHING ELSE WAS OK.. UNFORTUNATELY I DON'T SEE US MAKING THIS A REGULAR PLACE TO EAT AT

We booked a reservation here for 8:00pm, we arrived 10 minutes early, our entrees were served at 9:00pm. I didn’t like their food, sukiyaki was bland, the menu said it comes with sides like sumono and wanton but I only got white rice. Terriyaki beef and ramen was okay, not really great. I didn’t feel that our server took care of us because he’s always MIA. If you choose their traditional seating and need to go to the restroom, they only have two sizes of slippers, which means everybody uses the same two slippers ? gross. And my oh my, their toilet was so hard to use, you’re basically 2inch away from the wall and the door. I gave 3 starts because the old man who greeted us was nice and their saba sushi was good. I think we’re not coming back here.

This place was recommended to my by a Japanese friend. It is amazing! They have a sushi bar, tables with chairs, and traditional floor seating. The food was beautiful and expertly prepared. I had the Japanese dinner, a combination plate with yakatori, assorted tempura, and sashimi. Everything was delicious and looked like a work of art. The service was excellent. All the servers spoke both English and Japanese.

I love this place ? nothing like it in San Antonio. I enjoy going to the shop next door an then getting noodles right after. Very peaceful place to go to and service is very good. Me an my husband always have good talks with the owner, he's a funny man lol

This place is incredible!! From the outside it may appear to be a little abandoned, but once you get in, it feels like if you are transported to Japan. The place looks very romantic, and even on week days gets a bit crowded, so I highly recommend to do a reservation, specially if you want to eat in one of the rooms where you sit on the floor which makes it feel even more traditional. The dishes are delicious. I highly recommend the ramen and tempura noodles, and gyozas as appetizer. Also the sashimi mix it's extremely good. I loved that while you are waiting for your dish, they serve you some water and a delicious cucumber salad, sometimes they offer also a little of kale salad that comes with bonito fish flakes which is delicious. I also recommend the unfiltered sake, which tastes different than the traditional one. They have also Oolong tea which is very good and iced green tea (this has refill). Don't hesitate to ask for recommendation to the waiters, they can help you on decide what to order if it's your first time.
