We had a lovely experience here! The place feels cozy and welcoming, and the food was genuinely good. They also have a nice vegan menu, which was a great surprise. Overall, we really enjoyed our dinner and would definitely come back.

We've never had a bad meal at Nicki's. It's our favorite restaurant when we are in town for a show at the Benedum. I do recommend making a reservation. Service is always fast and on point.

It was nice. This was my first visit. I really like the atmosphere. The cultural designs, various statues. It was nice. It was intimate. It wasn't too bright. It was comfortable. I had great company. It gave it a little mysterious feel to it and the food was good. The crab rangoon was excellent. I tried some of their Maki latte. I didn't care for that too much. It's kind of sweet and it's mixed with green tea. I think I'll try something else next time. I wasn't really impressed with that and I'm not sure if it contained the little balls or not. It wasn't awful, by any means. It was a different flavor and I probably wouldn't get it again. It wasn't nasty. It's just not anything that resonated with me. But I will definitely be going back for a return visit. I think my meal choice was shrimp fried rice or something along those lines and I think it included vegetables.

The food was very subpar, but the boba was abysmal. The tapioca pearls were a mixture of clearly frozen, gummy, and rock-hard. The cost for lunch was much too high. Not good.

The food is delicious and portions are huge. But the service is so-so. The staff is rushing and rude. We had a server, he was so brutal he couldn’t repeat twice what he said! Reminded me a bad hero from asian cartoons lol But maybe because their service is already included as 20% add-on to your check, and nobody has to be nice because of it

One of my favorite places to go before a musical. It’s within walking distance of the benedum. Food is amazing. It is small, so highly recommended getting a reservation.

Came by for lunch which I think was great value, especially for downtown!
No wait for a table of 2, the lunch is an entree with a soup or salad . The salad is nice and fresh, but the pineapple dressing is quite sweet. The soup of the day, chicken and rice, was really delicious and flavorful, definitely recommend!
The spicy noodles (essentially drunken noodles) was amazing, great flavor and portion and if you like spice, level 3 is perfect! It has a ton of delicious sauce too, almost too much but loved the flavor.
It’s a little odd that even for a party of 2 for lunch, tip is already included in the bill, but the price was so good for the portion and quality that it’s totally worth it to me! Great spot to stop by!

This rating isn’t for the food or the service, but for how the restaurant handled a server’s mistake. We were charged half the price of a dish that was mistakenly served - one we never ordered, and ironically, they even took it away!

Great location in the downtown area designated as the Cultural District. We were here on a weeknight early evening, and the place was packed! Got a table outside along the wall, but in the walkway so people were constantly passing very close to us as we dined. Service was good and they did not ignore us. The Tom Yum soup and Tom Kha Soup were both good and really a ton of vegetables in each. Pad Phet (spicy) with chicken was excellent The Panang curry with pork was requested to be Thai spicy (extra hot) and that kinda fell flat for me. Overall a good meal for both of us.

Amazing food with great flavor! The outside seating is a bit loud and took a little while to be served after being seated. However the food was worth the wait and comes out quickly after ordering
