I came here because I was craving for Baumkuchen. It was pretty early for dinner so we enjoyed the quietness. The menu did not contain any pictures so we had no idea how big the portion would be. A friend and I ordered gyoza, soba, mix mushrooms and grilled salmon. The waiter came with huge plates every time :) especially the grilled salmon, wait, three big slices of salmon I meant. We were really full even before we ordered the dessert. But Baumkuchen was the very first reason why we were there, so I ordered it anyway. And voila, only a few minutes later, a huge plate of Baumkuchen with two scoops of ice cream was served on our table. It was delish and maybe it would be a lot more enjoyable had I not eaten so much before :))
Really good bbq buffet!!! The premium buffet has so much variety with sashimi, sushi, noodles and great cuts of wagyu. The only issue I had was the service was very slow even though there were only 3 other tables that night. I’m not sure if they did that deliberately so that we ate less? Anyway, the food was nice and fresh. Lovely, spacious atmosphere. They validate parking as well!
Fantastic japanese restaurant with a great value hidden in Fortitude Valley! For only $59 (premium buffet) - you can enjoy premium products (sashimi/prawns/scallops/wagyu steak + vegetable, dumplings and more)! The experience is quite enjoyable as their are unique dining booths both inside and out and you get to cook your own meats to your liking! The staff were friendly, the ambience was nice (in both quiet and peak periods) and they also had a great range of drinks available. Would definitely recommend and would definitely go back!
My favourite Japanese restaurant in Brisbane! These guys can do no wrong. Everything from the BBQ buffet to a take away lunch, the food is always perfect. This is my go to weekday work lunch. Absolutely will keep coming back.
First time eaters at Nikuya Japanese, My partner and I went for Lunch and had the 4 canapé sushi and BBQ for 2 that was $52....I have to say the best Japanese I've had so far, the service was great and the waiter's were very helpful with explaning everything for us....We definitely would go back 5 stars from Us
P.s I would definitely recommend the 3 taster Sake's went really well with our food
First time eating here and the service was excellent. Food was great and big portion. I ordered the Rosa tonkostu panko pork and it was huge. I'll def be back again.

Wow! What more can you ask for?
For our New Years Eve dinner, a group of friends and I experienced the Nikuya premium buffet set ($59 p.p). The selection was unbelievably good with the quality to match.
Normally, the quality of a buffet is questionable but this was not the case. I've added photos to show what is included in the premium buffet. Note that it's in addition to the regular buffet.
My favourite items were the wagyu oyster blade, wagyu skirt, scallops and the sashimi items. Can you believe these are unlimited??!!
Even though the BBQ was electric powered, (i prefer charcoal) you could still get a decent sear on the meats. The tiled floors were unusually slippery, i think it's from dripplets of oil splashing off the bbqs. We noticed this as we walked through the door. Despite these issues, i absolutely can not wait to return.
We had the $60 premium buffet and were blown away by wonderful service (especially by a waitress called Nao- always attentive and ready to assist us) and delicious food. We originally heard of Nikuya because we were after some sashimi and we were quite impressed by the quality of both the sashimi and the BBQ, especially since it was a buffet style meal.
I loved the decor as it is quite modern, and gives you a feeling of being in your own private space with the comfy booths that they provide, which seem to insulate you from the other diners.
Definitely coming back here again when I have a craving for Japanese food!
Food was fantastic, the wagyu was fresh, sashimi was pretty good as well! Well looked after by one of their staff members, would definitely be back again for another bbq feast
