The bar and service are repeatedly praised for attentiveness and personality, making for memorable evenings at the counter or dining tables. While portions and prices draw mixed notes and a few experiences mention slower pacing or occasional missteps, overall guests leave impressed by the quality, the variety of tapas style dishes, and the standout tasting menus that balance bold flavors with freshness.
Visited for the 2nd time last weekend, definitely didn't disappoint. Sat at the bar with Chami, he was very friendly & made tasty cocktails. Got to try one his experimental drinks & it was a hit. The food was incredible, Peruvian & Japanese fusion. The Porchetta stuffed with mushroom was unreal, great portion size, shoutout to Chef Mikey. Won't be my last visit.
Look the place is nice & the service is very good. But I didn't like the food at this place. We got 3 dishes. The eels were ok, I mean the fish tasted good but the rice was just too much & too sticky. It overpowered the eels taste & lingered in your mouth. The Pork on the second dish we got was too hard. Like it was hard to eat. & I have my comments about the other stuff I got.
The food is pricey too. Like I got 3 very small dishes & a drink & I paid 120
Absolutely loved Nikkei! The Peruvian & Japanese fusion is done so well, everything tasted incredibly fresh & full of flavor. You can really tell the ingredients are high quality.
The cocktail menu is fantastic, with creative & perfectly balanced drinks. Service was amazing, attentive, friendly, & made the whole experience even better.
The intimate vibes, beautiful decor, & open kitchen really elevate the atmosphere. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to!

Chami Johnson le bartender est trop gentil! Si vous allez manger au bar il va vous servir & vous faire des recommandations. Bon drinks & délicieuse nourriture !
I was a bit disappointed with my experience. It took quite a long time to get our drinks, & for the price, they really weren't anything special. The food was just okay, everything was very salty, & some of the flavours didn't pair well together. At times the sauce even overpowered the main protein. Overall, I honestly wouldn't go back.

You can immediately see the owners/chefs put their heart & soul into the place. Amazing Choripan & salad, the drinks are perfect too. Amazing amazing amazing, highly recommend!!!
We came to Nikkei to celebrate my partner's birthday. We were both very satisfied with the food, drinks & service. Rebecca showed a great deal of care & attention, especially when my partner was over the moon about her Chicha Morada. Rebecca made sure to find out the ingredients & let us know how to try & make it ourselves! Would definitely recommend the Sozai tasting as it let us get a bit of everything & we found it was great value.
