This place has been getting better each time I visit. I did have an issue a long while back but after giving another chance, I visit almost every week!

Stellar cuisine in a venue that feels like it hit its stride in 1978 and has never changed since because it was already perfect. Food is great and it is a stellar value. Feels like a trip to Tokyo. Will definitely be back.

Freshest sushi I've ever had, didn't expect that to be in San Antonio. Great for a hangout with friends for a date night. Will definitely be back.

It is such a spectacular dining experience in San Antonio it is difficult to express with words. People really need to experience it for themselves. This THE only location in San Antonio that is as close to dining in Japan as it gets. The staff here is like family, the food is authentic as it can be and the atmosphere is the type that makes you relax the second you walk in. I hope you get the chance to go. To everyone at Niki's, thank you for treating my family, like family. いただきます -The Menchacas-
Amazing customer service and great food. One of my most favorite meals I've ever had in San Antonio. We will definitely be back.

Went for my sister’s birthday, with a reservation of 9 people. We were seated on the traditional style tables with the pillows on the floor. This place has history, and they still know how to take care of their guests. The old man, gave us a freebie from his garden, and a little kale salad for my niece. The prices are set very well. We all had a good time, however sitting on the floor does get tiresome after a couple of hours haha. Everyone found something they ended up liking, the portions are great. Highly recommend trying the chicken sticks, so good. The edamame was super soft and very delicious. I ordered the Sashimi dinner, and was very pleased with the portions on the cuts, and everything that came with it. Are so much, I didn’t get a chance to try dessert but will definitely be back for more.

They definitely lost potential long term customers today. Took my wife here after reading good reviews, we ordered the gyoza and the sushi mix. It took an hour for our main entree to come out, it was only 7 sushi pieces. We were the first people in the restaurant and i had to sit and watch people come in and be served plates of food while we just sat there. It would’ve been different if we were served in an appropriate amount of time but being made to wait and watch everyone be served before us and then to only get 7 pieces of sushi just felt like we were purposefully ignored. We definitely will not be returning.

It's an amazing restaurant with some of the best sushi and hand rolls I have had. I highly recommend making a reservation, but I am thankful they could accommodate me (party of 1, showed up right at opening). Great food and fast service! I will definitely come back with friends.

My friends and I have made it a tradition to come here to eat when we can get together. The traditional floor seating is such a fun way to spend time with friends. They bring the food out in waves which makes it perfect for taking your time eating while talking. The food is also great, and they have a good variety of things to eat.
RESERVATIONS ARE MANDATORY. Made the mistake of taking an Uber from downtown San Antonio - and we really should have called first. My bad. Small restaurant that looks very popular and is clean and well run! Will call ahead next time!!!

Make a reservation beforehand! The first time I walked in, I didn't have a reservation and they were not able to seat my party.
This place has the best Japanese food in town.
The Tokyo Inn Dinner has a lot of food, but it's all delicious. It includes fried mackerel or yellowtail, rice, sashimi, tempura, miso soup, and cucumber salad.
The place looks like it's falling apart. The floor is uneven; it seems like the floorboards need replacing, but don't let the appearance deter you.
It's a quiet and small 'Western style' dining area, with a couple of 'Japanese style' seating areas.
Service is always excellent.
Parking: You need to park in Niki's parking lot, which is small and sometimes difficult to find parking The laundry mat next-door will tow you.
This place is literally magical. It's so beautiful on the inside. And the staff were all so amazing!! And the food omg the food was even better.

Blast from the past when you walk in, food was amazing and my Japanese friend said he felt like he was at a restaurant from back home. Make reservations before hand.
