I haven't eaten here but I did watch the YouTube food competition today with Raina! The winner of the steak eating contest was to be awarded a $3750 prize. The announcer said in the beginning she wasn't going to win but she did...she fin

Top notch service! Our server Chris was the definition of what a perfect server should be. Helpful, patient and overall pleasure. Loved the food and the ambiance.

The food alone would be 4*, it was tasty but the crab legs were slow to come out, often having a queue, and the service was really slow. Went during lunch and got the signature add-on. It took 30 minutes for us to get the first items we ordered from

Visited here 10/24/25 and had quite the experience! I had fasted the entire day so I could eat as much as possible and then I smoked a decent amount. Right after we were seated, I literally passed out. Staff was very helpful and actually caught me on

10/23 our family experienced food poisoning ruining the remainder of our vacation. For a $700 price tag, the food was underwhelming and to top it off we woke up at 1 am with food poisoning. We paid the extra $50 per person to have the chef grill us o
Another great night at Niku X.
This time our server was really great! Joseph and the other guy who brought drinks and everything else we needed all night ( sorry didn't get his name) was amazing and really made our dining experience more special! Food was delicious as always.

Niku X definitely looks the part, being located in DTLA in the side of a high end hotel. Modern decor with a clean lounge area while you wait. Which is nice considering they sat us 20 mins after our reservation. Normally not a complaint for me but th

Our birthday celebration at Niku X was excellent.
Darren was so attentive, helpful, and friendly. We didn't have to look around for him to place our orders or ask questions. I loved his friendly and approachable smile. In addition to Darren, there was one other gentleman that helped us a lot, I

My friend and I heard about this place and drive all the way feom las vegas to try it. It did not disappoint! Our server was Naomi who was on it ! Always checking up on us and her busses Rudy was on a mission to keep our table cleared of all plates.
Great service! premium meat out of the Chubby Cattle group.
However we were disappointed with their seafood selection on the lobster crab legs were over cooked and not as succulent as others had reviewed. A5 waygu was awesome and thick cut beef tongue was the highlight of our meal. Great for special occasion

Let's talk about Niku X--because at around $150 per person, you expect an extravagant experience. What I found was something just shy of that. Ambiance & Service (4.5/5): The restaurant sits a few floors up, and our dinner with another coup

The food is great and waiters are amazing! You get the price you pay for (recommend cheapest option). Giving it a 4 instead of 5 due to Host/Hostess. Reservation was at 8:45, arrived at 8:30 and was told they're running behind and that it would
Worst service EVER
Once my favorite restaurant I will never return after receiving what was the worst service I've ever received at any restaurant on a recent visit. $175 to be treated like crap

Management did follow up after my review and made an effort to address the concerns. Adjusting to 2 stars to reflect both the initial issues and the fact that they were responsive afterward.
Not impressed the taste of the food and very few choices.
Rather to eat in different buffet or in real fine dining restaurants.

Had an amazing birthday here tonight! The food was great and service was great as well. Thank u, Kelly for a great experience!
Worst food experience in LA
Horrible service. Thankfully we didn’t go for any special ocassion. We waited +35min for our waiter to bring us the essentials that are only to be brought by staff..not worth your time or money!
Ripped off!
BEWARE!!! Got bait and switched! They said we reserved for Premium Seating which is $50 more. We showed them our reservation which clearly shows Standard BBQ. They told us standard seating was sold out. What a waste of almost $400!
Don’t waste your money…overhyped
Don’t come!!! I don't understand the high reviews. I'm literally at the restaurant writing this review. This place sucks. Also, we had a reservation but still waited about 30 minutes. The sushi and fish did not taste fresh. The buff
Ask for a table with a grill
Rately do I post a glowing review of restaurants, but @nikuxla will be getting one. From host, server (thank you, Wilson), to details: A+ King crab 🦀 legs were so fresh, that when you pulled the shell from on end, the crab meat slides off the she
A must try experience - great quality meat and seafood!
Booked full service for 2 ($139pp) on a Thursday night. Arrived a few minutes late due to LA traffic - NikuX is located in the same building as the Intercontinental hotel in DTLA, on the second floor. Seated within 5 minutes in a nice window seat. W
Highway robbery
So if you call they’re VM says walk-in’s upon availability but what they fail to tell you until you make the drive there is they will charge you the higher price @$139 instead of $99 so of course because you made the hike and are probably already
Let's first talk about the parking.
It's located in the Wilshire Grand Building where the Intercontinental Hotel is. You have to use the Valet, there is no self parking. I posted the parking rates, but it's pretty much $15 with validation. We were there for almost 3 hours and paid $

Brunch of champions!! My girlfriends and I came to celebrate our best friend's 30th birthday last weekend and we can't stop raving about the experience. The food and service were absolutely exceptional. We ordered wagyu , tuna crispy rice, sushi and
A 10/10 experience I will always recommend.
Had the best tasting grilled meat. The ambience, the quiet setting, the cohesive staff, I loved it all and will be back to actually get the course meals.
Connect with users posting reservations for NIKU X Los Angeles
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with NIKU X Los Angeles. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to NIKU X Los Angeles at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the NIKU X Los Angeles page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* CoolestCough45, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* CoolestCough45 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to CoolestCough45 for any questions Peter may have as CoolestCough45 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* CoolestCough45 now uses their connections at NIKU X Los Angeles to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If CoolestCough45 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, CoolestCough45 receives the $200 reward which is credited to CoolestCough45's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at NIKU X Los Angeles!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
