Niku Japanese BBQ

Good place to chill with family. My kids love the BBQ. They ate more than normal and have no limit for dessert. Another highlight is cold noodles. Adult - around $55 5 years old - $35 2 years old - Free

Happened to stumble upon this place searching for the best restaurant in Niagara. Ak and Danny, were two of our servers. No matter how good service is, the food must speak for itself. However it was one of those special nights where the service was elite and the food was incredible. The price was $50 per person. It was one of those experiences where you realize you are getting more than what you pay for. The service was in my top 3 experiences at any restaurant. The food was fantastic. The cuts of meat were exactly as advertised. Incredibly fresh and tender to the point where regardless of how you cooked it, each piece was perfect in its own way. The garlic butter cooks alongside the hot plate and acts as an incredible dip for the meats. Everything down to the appetizers was fantastic. Cucumber salad. Desserts were on par with the mains. Chocolate fondue hot at the table with fresh fruit and a rich cheesecake. Cinnamon pineapple was also a Lovley treat. Lastly the theme was incredible. I’m and anime fan and the restaurant was a blend of traditional Japanese and anime art all over the music had mix of themes from different anime including One Piece. Beautiful tables and comfortable seating. Hats off to the owner for putting together this dining experience and a bow for how well he staffed the place. Would be a absolutely Lovley to see a place like this if Toronto. Well done to everyone. Thank you AK and Danny.

We came for New Years eve. We are area locals (Welland) who have never been. The reviews aren't wrong! The service was phenomenal. Everyone was a tight working team, friendly and attentive. Danny was our server. The food was so fresh and unlimited. We never waited to make selections and there was always enough provided for three of us. The options were awesome. Various cuts of beef, chicken, lamb, seafood, fresh vegetables and starches it was so good! The small bite desserts to finish the meal were perfect. The creme brulé was awesome and just enough. We will return and highly recommend. One suggestion is that we found the music a little loud, that or we were sitting under a speaker. The atmosphere would not enable people with hearing aids are problems attend with comfort as it was a little difficult to carry on conversation. Parking was atrocious! I get it...it was New Years Eve so there are no complaints but we were told by an attendant out back that there are only 4 spaces for the entire restaurant on any given day.

Niku BBQ in Niagara Falls is a must-visit! The AYCE (All You Can Eat) experience is perfect for anyone who loves interactive dining. You get to cook the meat yourself, which is always fun and ensures everything is grilled to your liking. The quality of the meat is absolutely amazing—fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Despite being AYCE, the portions were generous and just right. * chicken wings my top favourite What really sets this place apart is the outstanding service. Every server had a warm, welcoming smile and was incredibly polite and attentive. They truly made the dining experience so enjoyable. Highly recommend Niku BBQ to anyone visiting Niagara Falls—you won’t be disappointed!

When people ask me what I love the best of my trip to Niagara Falls, I would be telling them my visit to Niku Japanese BBQ. This can sound crazy to many but my experience at Niku was beyond amazing. Danny and many other servers were so friendly and helpful. Danny would check on my boyfriend and I often and in a lighthearted manner that made us feel comfortable and welcomed. Danny also went above and beyond by making conversations enjoyable and fun. But it was not just the service, the food was great as well! My boyfriend and I liked the marinated lamb as it was really fragrant and tasty - not often seen in Japanese bbq menus. In fact, I have to say this may be the best restaurant experience yet in my life and the service on top of great food made it extra special. I will recommend people to try Niku out whenever they plan a trip to Niagara Falls!

Min was an absolute blast serving us. We have never been, so she walked us through everything, was super funny and even cooked the first plate for us. The food was incredible. Our favorites were anything marinated and the brisket. We were there for about 2 hours. The atmosphere was so great. It was cool seeing other tables cooking together and bonding whether it be a father and son, family, or a couple. The smiles on peoples faces were contagious. This is an all you can eat buffet and they encourage you to keep eating. Absolutely love this place. We will for sure be back.

If you're looking for an unforgettable BBQ experience, this shop is a must-visit! As you approach the entrance, you'll be greeted by a striking, oversized model of Luffy, which instantly sets a fun and welcoming tone. The vibrant atmosphere pulls you in, enhanced by cheerful waiters whose bright smiles immediately lift your spirits. Inside, you're surrounded by wonderful paintings that add a splash of color and creativity to the decor—truly the best I've ever seen in a BBQ joint. The food is nothing short of spectacular—fresh, smoky, and grilled to perfection over a strong, roaring fire. The beef is absolutely epic, tender and juicy, bursting with flavor that lingers long after your last bite. And let’s not forget the sauce; it’s a perfect blend of spices that elevates every dish, making each bite a delightful experience. While most dishes shine, I did find the squid to be a bit rubbery and lacking in taste, though it was undeniably fresh. The upbeat music fills the air, energizing the crowd and enhancing the overall vibe. This place doesn’t just serve food; it creates an experience that wraps you in relaxation and joy. With its lively environment and exceptional service, this BBQ shop is a feast for the senses and a true celebration of BBQ culture. Don't miss out on this gem—it's an adventure you won't forget!

Stopped in for lunch earlier this week when visiting Niagara Falls. Very fun decor paying homage to classic and popular anime. The staff were very friendly. They do ask if you've been before, so if you have not been here specifically, and especially if you have never done Japanese BBQ, ask for help! They will walk you through the process. It's important to know from my experience, order all meats and veggies you think you want to try right away, and enough sides that your party has something to eat the cooked items with, so as you cook your meat and veggies, you're ready to consume. It's all you can eat, but you have only 90 min. However, you can do a lot of damage if you order and cook at the right pace. For only $37 CAD each, everyone left full and happy from the meal. Most of the food was pretty good. The highlights for me were the cold noodle soup, seaweed salad, the short ribs, and the brisket. Definitely would recommend if you're looking for a more hearty meal than the tourist forward spots in and around the Niagara Falls area!
