I have to say the Unagi is super nice, I had two serves, it's really hiding in the office area, not many ppl know it. Very reasonable price.
My new favourite lunch place! Every dish is amazing and full of flavours! Highly recommend everyone to give it a try! Chirashi sashimi don and una don are my favorite!
We visited Niku Niku on a busy Saturday night. The colourful eclectic interior highlighted by various cartoon drawings was warm and welcoming.
We had a range of their dishes. The bonito ramen was simple and delicious. The ramen was cooked well and the broth was full of flavour. The chirashi sashimidon was fresh and a feast for the eyes! The delicate cubes of sashimi were expertly prepared. We also had the tempura udon. Once again, simple yet fulfilling. The tempura had just the right amount of crispy batter.
The Yuzu yoghurt drink was really tasty too. Service, while pleasant, was a bit slow due to the endless line of online/takeaway orders ...an increasingly common phenomenon where dine in customers receive less efficient service due to the ever expanding food delivery market.

Bought the Groupon voucher a while ago which offers a 9-course meal.

- Their flamed lobster was the highlight of the meal! Perfectly seasoned and was grilled just right.
- Beef Tataki was also done very well, the meat was really tender.
- Squid was just alright, I wasnβt a big fan of it because it was a little burnt on the corners.

Niku Niku puts quality in their ingredients. Although they miss out a little on the Japanese feel of the store, the food makes up for it! I want to try their Aburi Salmon next π

Recommended: Unagi Don (I think it is better to be called "Unaju" as it was served in a box)
It is probably the best eel don in CBD - great price, it has enough of eel pieces, with enough sauce, on enough rice, no too much to be salty, not too less for you to leave some rice behind (yes, I finished the whole thing).Β
Gyoza is juicy with meat. The Ikayaki (grilled squid) and Spicy Ox tongue Don are great for photo experiences. This place has a funky interior, which the Japanese playfullness vibe in right in your face.
Have to say that the atmosphere of this place is ππ»ππ». Friendly and fast service. Unagi don was standard tho.
Would love to check out their dinner menu sometimes.
FOOD: We ordered 8-course banquets. It was very filling. Started out well, finished even weller.
SERVICE: It was impressive, and the waiter was very accommodating and patient.
ATMOSPHERE: The dΓ©cor was beautiful. It was covered in anime-inspired decorations and was very cool.
WOW FACTOR: YEET
Used a Groupon vouchure for an 8-course banquet for two. The 'genshiyaki' grill wasn't working but the food was really nice and beautifully presented. The salmon tartare was fresh with a nice sauce & pretty! The beef curry was delicious with the rice served inside an omelette. The giant squid was perfectly cooked, even the edamame was nice! We were very full in the end. Friendly service.
Interior is really special, very Japanese. We came at lunch on a Friday and ordered takoyaki, lotus root chips, prawn and salmon rolls, squid karaage and a Unagi Don. Love the eel! Sushi was fresh and nice flavoured. Other dishes were not too bad as well.
The fancy decoration which I could see many animation figures on the wall, that was pretty impressive.
The Ramen is average but the good thing is not that strong flavor as the other Ramen shop.
