Well I went here for my birthday after hearing so much about how wonderful this 5 star restaurant was.
First issue I had, I called to make my own reservations and the music was so loud the hostess could not hear me. When I got them on the phone she said to me "You're phone is messed up I can't hear you" and hung up me, so I called again then she said "I can't hear you" and hung up on me AGAIN. So I had a friend with four bars on her phone call and the same issue happened. The music was absolutely too loud.
Now when we got there, there were no reservations for us so I asked to speak to the manager and told her that I had called multiple times as did my friends and we were all hung up on. She did seat us right away which made up for a little bit. Then it took 25 mins to get our drinks and orders, another 45 for the food that was not even worth my time. I told them it was my birthday and was told I would get a nice desert which never came. The waitress ignored us unless we put called her to the table.
Horrible.
Pros: None
Cons: not worth the money, terrible staff

Went to Nikko's after having heard about it for so long, and I can't hide my disappointment. The restaurant is cool with a great design, in a nice neighborhood, and the ambiance is fun. However, the food is just plain average. Uninspired, sauces were store bought quality. Not a place to go for sushi connaisseurs.
Pros: great ambiance
Cons: food is horrible

I recently visited Nikko on South Blvd about 2 Weeks ago, and I must say it was amazing. We had a reservation for 6 on a Friday night. When we arrived we were promptly sat in a round booth in the middle of the restaurant. Our server was great, the food was outstanding, and overall our experience was very pleasant. We tried the tuna crunchy roll at our server's suggestion, and it was incredibly delicious. I will tell all of my friends about this place, and I will definitely be back.
P.S. Order the Saki Bombs, You wont forget it!
Pros: Everything
Cons: None that I can think of

Poor service. Unprofessional treatment. Had 9:00 reservation for back room for 20 guests (Surprise 30th birthday). Arrived at 8:30, NOT SEATED BY 9:00. Questioned hostess who reported 7:00 reservation did not arrive until 8:00, and had just been served. Were not seated until10:45. Service very poor. Mnanger/owner had agreed to comp a round of drinks. When bills arrived this had not been done. Owner had left the building. When we complained, staff threatened to call police. Food was good as always, but attitude of owner and staff uncaring and irresponsible.
Pros: Food
Cons: Service and Customer Service

I find it interesting how nearly everyone that I know that has gone to Nikko's has had an obscenely horrible experience. These experiences range from; the bar staff, hostesses, waitresses, the food, management and of course the famous resident narcissist Korean cowboy owner Johanna. It?s truly a shame that this website still promotes Nikkos as a 5 star when ALL the reviews clearly show an overwhelmingly negative experience and an average around 2stars or less.
Bottom line, Nikkos is and always will be everything that is wrong with the Charlotte and gets the ultimate thumbs down.
Cons: The staff, owner and hostesses are the worst in charlotte. If you don't beleive me... go see for yourself.

if you like eating in a loud loud clubing music, you would probably like it. Food quality is good, but the price is at the same time very high. Very distracting eating atmosphere besides the loud music. You always see the lady with the cowboy hat on running up and down the restaurant, dancing and drinking. I feel like I was dining out in New York city...
Pros: good sushi
Cons: expensive and loud

Nikko is divine! The sushi is delicious and the new location is gorgeous. The Super Crunch roll is my favorite; the veggie tempura is an excellent starter.

Went to Nikko again (one of dozens) this past Friday. Pulled up a seat at the bar with a couple of friends and ordered some good drinks. Bartender (forgot his name) from Jersey was good conversation without being invasive and poured some good drinks. We ordered some edamame appetizers as well as a chicken and shrimp dinner...All fantastic, as usual.
I'm not sure why all these people complain about the noise and atmosphere of this place. If you are from around here you have either eaten here or know someone who has been in the place, if you dont want to dine "big city" for a night, then dont go. I really dont think they need your business.
The types of places like Nikko and the Epicentre are helping charlotte grow.
Pros: Great atmosphere, Great Food, Good Looking People
Cons: Can get a little too busy

Nikko in South End used to have good sushi in a pleasant atmosphere. Those days are gone. Now they're in sleek noisy space - not my favorite, but I can handle it when it's reasonable. Not here. ... More
Nikko in South End used to have good sushi in a pleasant atmosphere. Those days are gone. Now they're in sleek noisy space - not my favorite, but I can handle it when it's reasonable. Not here. The owner apparently has trouble getting enough attention in the larger space, so she has to periodically turn the bar music up to a deafening level and run up and down the aisle in a cowboy hat banging a tambourine. Seriously! Apparently this is to celebrate some feat of drinking at the bar.
Picture yourself eating sushi seated directly in front of a speaker at your favorite club. If that appeals to you, Nikko is your place.
Best I could tell, the food was adequate, but the noise was so unnerving we had trouble focusing on it.
Valet parking is available; if you don't want to give your keys to a stranger, be prepared for an adventure getting to level 4 of the parking deck.
Cons: Parking, NOISE, horrible "ambience"
