“ I will definitely be adding Niko to my local vegetarian sushi rotation! Ordering takeout required calling my order in, but was quick and easy, with my food ready in about 20-25min. The staff was warm and welcoming when I arrived to pick it up. I ordered edamame and four different rolls to try: Mushroom Roll, Vegetable Roll, Asparagus Roll and Sweet Potato Roll. Everything was fresh and flavorful. Terrific value for the price! Looking forward to my next order. ”

“ This is a great local restaurant for fusion Japanese food. Conveniently located in the old town Ellicott city district, next to the Mochi donuts shop. Owned by Korean, so you can get the best of both Korean and Japanese food here. We have been coming here for the past several years, never had bad experience. Foods are delicious and come in decent portions. Sushi and sashimi are very fresh. Price is reasonable. Good value for this area. Service was attentive and efficient. Clean shop, comfortable atmosphere. Easy parking out front. Do recommend by IG @WineDinenVacay ”

“ This is the best sushi in the area. The service is amazing. The staff is super nice and we are never disappointed. I highly recommend this restaurant. ”

“ Service was great, food was reasonably priced, and the sushi was good quality. The house salad was great as well. As you can see in the pictures, we loved it! ”

“ Friendly and attentive staff, and the food was delicious! We ordered seafood pancake, which is Korean, and Platter A. The pancake was crunchy outside and seasoned perfectly inside. My friend who has probably eaten at every restaurant in the area said this place has the best seafood pancakes. Platter A came with California rolls, spicy rolls, salmon and red tuna sushi, white tuna sushi, those sushi with eggs on top, another with shrimp and yet another with eel. I probably forgot a couple because I didn't know what fish it was. It was a lot, and super delicious! I also took home fish stew, and my husband and I gobbled it up to the last drop. Not fishy and oily like other places. Very refreshing soup, and the fish tasted fresh, not from frozen. Definitely a place to return again and again. It was close to Rita's, too. Just across the street for dessert for sure. Pleasant atmosphere and a clean establishment. ”

“ 6.2.23 I was in the mood for Asian cuisine tonight for dinner and don't eat Japanese very often so decided to come here to try their bento box. I went for the Chicken Teriyaki which came with rice, California rolls, gyoza, and shrimp/veggie tempura. The apps included miso soup and a sesame house salad. Loved the sesame dressing. It is the best dressing I have had at any Japanese restaurant. Onto my bento box. Of the veggie tempura my favorite was the sweet potato. The shrimp tempura was delish too. Loved the crunchiness. The tempura sauce and soy sauce for the gyoza were delish too. On the sweeter side which I like. The teriyaki sauce for the chicken was so yummy I dipped my jasmine rice in it. I believe a good sauce or marinade is key to making everything taste better. The chicken was broiled and generally I prefer it to be roasted or grilled. It was on the softer side and I prefer the texture to be crisp. I normally don't like California rolls, but thought I would be adventurous and try it again. Big mistake, I choked on the wasabi. I don't do spicy. My eyes started watering and I had to gulp water. So much for trying to be adventurous. The restaurant is small. There are counter seats where they make sushi and tables on each end of the restaurant. They are located in Frederick Crossing. They have a lunch menu on weekdays from 11:30-3pm. I will need to take advantage of that next time. For my next visit, I'ld like to try the Chicken Katsu or Katsu Donburi. ”

“ The seafood rice is literally my favorite thing to get. It's a light refreshing meal that hits perfectly in the summer and the warmer days. The fish is fresher than the other spots I tried, a little heavy on the lettuce but it's probably because they want to be stingy on giving more seafood. Please keep in mind it's raw fish. The miso soup was also pleasant. The service was fast and the servers were attentive. I didn't try the undo my partner was the one who order it. In regards to "ambiance" it's chill and quite. A nice place where you can come to sit and enjoy yourself or other company. Something sitting alone with your thoughts while eating fresh food is all you need to finish your day off. ”

“ Recently got takeout from here because the wife was craving sushi. Yelp recommended this place for good sushi and they were right! Got some shumai, my wife's favorite, and it was really pleasant. I sometimes find shumai to be too wet from the steaming but this was solid. The vegetable tempura was good; I just wish I had more sauce. We opted for Dinner Box A, which allowed us a try a few things. Most was good, especially the gyoza. The chicken teriyaki was a bit disappointing - the chicken seemed overcooked and the sauce thin. But we came here for sushi and it was all great. Oshinko (pickled radish) can be hit or miss, but this was a hit. We also got some spicy tuna, vegetarian roll, sweet potato roll, Boston roll, and California roll. Enjoyed every last bit of it. Would happily order from here again. ”

“ Typical Japanese & Sushi spot in Ellicott City - I only tried the sushi so I'm not sure how the rest of the menu was but they did have a decent variety so I was happy about that! The prices were on the average side / nothing too interesting about this place that would make me want to try it outside of necessity. However I do appreciate the multiple options for vegetarians. ”

“ Niko Restaurant is a Korean owned sushi restaurant tucked away in Ellicott City. They have a wide selection of tasty and high quality sushi as well as other dishes. We ordered three rolls a la carte and enjoyed all three. S2 Spider Roll (6pcs), S20 Orange and White Roll (8pcs), and S24 Fire Cracker Roll (8pcs). We ordered for pickup and it was ready within 15min. ”
