I have glowing reviews for Niku. The service here is phenomenal! The entire waitstaff works as a team. No step from any employee is non-intentional. Everyone is moving with purpose and delicacy even though the restaurant is tiny. The experience was seamless. As for the food, I am blown away. Highlights being the bone marrow, of course, the wagyu sampler, and the WAGYU FAT BROWNIE. I do not have enough words about that Brownie. I could eat 15 more. Niku has mastered meat - they were able to put it into a dessert and take it from savory into umami. I am so impressed. And if I’m honest, the best cut out of the wagyu sampler was the A3. Perfect ratio between fat marbling and actual meat. The wasabi? Amazing touch! It’s on the side optionally, but I highly suggest it. I came celebrating a promotion and boy do I feel celebrated. My first Michelin star restaurant did not disappoint!!

An amazing experience is in store for you! Warm, friendly and knowledgeable staff, artfully plated food and wonderful music (whoever made that playlist is a beautiful human and deserves maximum happiness in their life).
I cannot recommend Niku Steakhouse enough.

Highly recommend if you're looking for some quality meat! 🍖
Was easy to make a reservation and book for a special occasion. We didn't go for the Japanese wagyu (I'm not the biggest fan of high fat meat) but the Australian wagyu flat iron was delicious. Highly recommend the potato side. And the brownie for dessert will probably be the best brownie you will have in your life. 🤤
Points deducted for $$$$ price -- I paid $380+ (with tip and mandates) for two meat dishes, two sides, one dessert and an appetizer. It is a la carte option, so you can choose what you want to pay for.
+ Quality meat + Brownie + Potato side + Easy to book
- $$$$ - maitake mushrooms (personal preference)

We had an exceptional experience at Niku Steakhouse. The service was top-notch from start to finish, and the food and drinks were absolutely incredible. Our bartender went above and beyond, crafting two custom cocktails on the spot that were not only creative but perfectly balanced. His knowledge and attention to detail really elevated the experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable night out in San Francisco.

Amazing experience. The cocktails were amazing and the bartender very knowledgeable. The whole experience was unforgettable. The toilets are spacey, you don’t wait in line, it smells good and the scent of the soap they use lingers on your smell like a good quality perfume. I saw a guy entering the toilet with his drink in his hand. It’s that good of an experience… yes, the drinks, the food and the toilet :)
Staff went above and beyond! God was beyond expectation! Can’t wait to come back and try the wagyu tasting!!!

This place was amazing! We sat at the chefs counter and it was an experience watching the chefs put their masterpieces together. The Wagyu tasting menu was amazing! Best broccoli I've ever had! The rolls, miso potatoes and the rolls were also a must! The service is outstanding! We were celebrating our anniversary and they welcomed us with some complimentary champagne. Though this was $$$$ totally worth it to splurge on a special occasion. Can't wait to come back!

Thank you, Zia, for being so professional and totally worth a Michelin star waiter.
Big portions of salad. Meat was cooked incredibly tender and flavorful. Waiter/waitress was patient and kind, very polite. Love the interior design. Great experience overall. Would recommend to friends and family.

Came here on a Sunday evening for a birthday celebration - was able to secure a reservation on a high top a few days in advance which was great. Place was completely packed when we got there, especially in the main dining area and by the fire pit. Service was polite and prompt. The food was fantastic, we had the fried potato and marrow for starters, both of which were fantastic. The main we had the flat iron (best dish of the evening), filet mignon and wagyu tasting (a little too rich for our liking). Sides were broccolini and dungenese rice. Easily the best steakhouse we’ve been to, but quite pricey. Totally worth a visit at least once, and for special occasions, and definitely for steak fans. One could probably find a place serving slightly less quality at a fraction of the price. Easy street parking. Very nice ambiance. Hotel style bathrooms.

Come here for an over the top steak experience with classy vibe. I'm not a regular beef eater but this place rocks. You won't get a better experience. Ordered the tasting menu and added off menu option. Each cut uniquely amazing.
