NIKU X

"Absolutely a good choice for celebrating anniversary with my boyfriend! We came on the Valentine’s Day and I love the menu set they have! The meat quality is awesome and the service was super professional! I love the dining environment here at NIKUX! From appetizers to main course to the dessert! I’ll give 10/10 for this place! When you make the reservation you could always ask them to have your name on the menu!"

"The tasting menu was the perfect amount of food. I left feeling full and very content, versus overly full as other tasting menus have left me. Consider yourself lucky if you're seated in Wissal's section. She is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but she's very friendly and definitely adds so much positive energy to the dining experience."

The interplay of textures and flavors showcases nikuX's commitment to delivering a gastronomic masterpiece."

"Located on the second floor of the hotel. The hotel entrance is kinda hidden. Can use the valet directly. This restaurant is under the same brand as Xpot so the meat quality is great and maintained their usual standard. Specializing in wagyu, all meat is fatty with that perfect marble. The pickles side dish is a great balance. We ordered Prix fixe menu and get to enjoy different cuts. The portion is alright. For 2 of us, we weren’t really full after the meal so we ordered another tomahawk tasting menu. But this one we couldn’t finish it all. Although the presentation is nice and interior design is fancy. I personally find it a bit overpriced. Some presentation is just for show and social media, I understand the marketing strategy but couldn’t appreciate it. It’s a good choice for celebration and events. They also have private dining space. But not so cost effective for day to day dining."
