"Went to Nikko restaurant with my family twice. The service was excellent. The food sushi, General Tso's Chicken, Schezuan Beef, soup, deserts, drinks were excellent as well. I love the ambiance, the lighting was perfect. Only thing is that people at the bar and hibachi area can get loud and annoying but have some warm sake and you will fit right in. I really like this place since Hunan Balcony and our other favorite restaurant China Fun closed, this is definitely my family's new favorite restaurant.This is an Update: July 9th 2023 My family and I have ordered Nikko for delivery through UberEats several times but today my family member ordered two different dinners soups and salads including an appetizer crab Shumai. Food seemed a bit unorganized and shuffled in the bag but bag was stapled as usual, everything was spilled and leaking that was unusual generally when when we received an order every thing is organized and no soups leaking. Upon eating two bites of the shrimp and broccoli and General Tso's and crab Shumai. I immediately threw up, this food was completely rotten and had a chemically taste. I cannot believe we ate some of this rotten food, everything had to be thrown out immediately after consuming a bit of the food we all became ill from the chemically taste and realized the putrid smells fumigating from the bag it was delivered in this is definitely a food safety issue and I hope the food inspectors will investigate thier kitchen and cooks Unfortunately we will not be ordering again. I hope this restaurant will realize just how fast they can lose great customers by not checking the quality of the food they send out to their loyal customers. I'm very disappointed in this place as we have been ordering here for a while now. But fortunately for us there are many other great Chinese/Thai restaurants who have better quality control and will not deliver rotten/chemically tasting food to their customers."

"If you're a fan of ramen, sushi, and takoyaki, then this establishment is a must-visit. In my humble (and extremely well-informed) opinion, they have the best ramen in town – hands down. The broth is rich and flavorful, and the noodles are perfectly cooked. It's like a warm hug in a bowl, and I could slurp it down every day.But let's not forget about the takoyaki. Oh man, it's like a little ball of heaven that's been battered and fried to perfection. The octopus is juicy and tender, and the sauce is the perfect balance of savory and sweet. It's a snack that I could eat by the dozen, and I may or may not have done just that on my last visit (no judgment please).But it's not just the delicious food that keeps me coming back to this establishment. The atmosphere is also top-notch. It's a cozy and welcoming space, with friendly staff (shoutout to Jessica who's awesome and lovely) It's the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy a bowl of steaming hot ramen (or two).And let's not forget about the prices – they're incredibly reasonable. I always leave feeling satisfied and full, without breaking the bank. It's a win-win in my book (or rather, my stomach).But don't just take my word for it – give this place a try and see for yourself. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. And who knows, you might just find yourself coming back for more (like me). So go ahead, indulge in a bowl of the best ramen in town and savor every bite of those juicy, tender takoyaki balls. Your taste buds (and stomach) will thank you. Happy slurping!"

"With all the raving reviews, I really had high hopes for Yojimbo... To start things off, parking is a major headache. Good luck finding street parking and I 'm not even talking about anything remotely close!! The streets on both sides are filled thanks to the many businesses within the vicinity. I was kind of confused at the initial entering of Yojimbo. It seems to be as though you enter through the quasi kitchen which eventually leads into seating. The restaurant is a narrow strip and an assortment of art decorates the entire restaurant. There are 2 tiny tables located outside for those who are interested in outdoor dining. The menu in itself offers appetizers, bento boxes, ramen, rice bowls, and nigiri ala carte. There are a number of sushi rolls which all come with pictures to help assist with your choice makings. Since we had a late lunch, our party decided to order lighter than we normally do. Dinner consisted of: California Roll Miso Soup Sashimi Bento [comes with rice, salad, miso soup] sodas Food: California roll was on the small side but I wasn 't really mad. I kind liked the filling ration Vs the rice surrounding the nori this was the perfect size for my 3yo to enjoy. The only downside was the rice being really blotchy and not evenly spread around the sushi roll. The miso soup was amazing. This is by far the best miso soup we 've had flavorings were perfectly seasoned and the tofu and seaweed pieces were extremely generous. The tofu cubes weren 't teeny tiny and didn 't primarily consist of simply liquids. I 'd come back solely for this!! The sashimi bento was great when it came down to portion size but the quality was not there. The salad itself was so massive, it took over half of the container. The rice portion was no different normally a small heaping of rice inverted from a small bowl is provided but Yojimbo uses those plastic soup containers. This place is a rice lover 's dream!! The sashimi is where things go downhill. There seemed to be 4 types of fish provided and cuts of the fish ranged from thick to misshaped smaller pieces as if leftover bits were just thrown in as fillers. Before anyone find this as a petty complaint, let me be clear that the random shapes and sizes didn 't bother me. The problem with the fish was the tuna being still frozen in the middle nothing fully solid but it was undeniably some bite due to the ice bits. A secondary fish was also extra chilly internally not frozen but abnormally colder than normally. The remaining 2 assortment of fish didn 't have any issues. 3 stars overall. Not only was the quality and dining experience lacking but it was super weird for the staff to stand right at the table while we were paying for the tab. She literally stood there and waited as cash was being pulled out and she immediately took the bill to process. I 'm not sure if that 's the normal protocol for the restaurant or if they just wanted a speedy turnover rate... but there was plenty of seating still available in the restaurant. The experience could only be defined as meh ."
