Nizi is my FAVORITE sushi spot in this area. It's a little hole in the wall spot that just absolutely excels. Tonight I had the Mussels and a Fantastic Roll. Both were delicious. I tried a piece of the Beef Negimaki and Gyosa, yummy. My bf got some spicy Korean beef dish. It never listed it's egg ingredient, so when he sent it back and asked for something else, they were immediately helpful and even sent over a bowl of Miso soup while preparing a substitute dish. I love coming here.
Came here for lunch with the family on a weekday which was perfect as it isn't busy. It's a small restaurant with just a few tables. The service was friendly.
After ordering your meal, they served you their rice porridge and miso soup. Both are good and tasty. They have lunch specials of bento box from beef or pork bulgogi, to chicken Katsu to shrimp tempura, to sushi handmade rolls. All served with rice, salad, and California sushi rolls. I opt out of the bento box but my son loved the beef bulgogi. I had the beef kop dol or better know as beef bibimbap served in the sizzling hot stone pot. The beef seasoning is on point. However, I was a little disappointed that my rice wasn't crispy at the bottom of the hot stone pot, which is really the whole joy of this dish. I think the rice was too moist which is why it couldn't be sizzled crispy.
I will still come back and try another dish.
I forgot to write this review the other day, but this has to be one of the most authentic Japanese cuisine spots out here! The sushi was impeccable. I will return. Plus it's byob!
Nizi Sushi is one of my good go-to local sushi spots, as it is a convenient 10 minute drive for me. This is a small establishment, so during peak hours be prepared for a wait and I would not recommend coming in here with a party larger than 4 people during that time. I would say this place is a nice hole in a wall spot with some delicious sushi!
During dinner hours they give you a complementary plate of mussels after ordering. These were satisfying, especially with the fact that they are free! For appetizers, I like getting the Spicy Tuna Tartar, which is a lump of delicious spicy tuna with avocado and mango.
When I am not in the mood for rolls, I would typically get the Chirashi,which is an assorted amount of sashimi with rice. I can be satisfied with this as the fish is prepared well and does not need a lot of the "flair" that is included in their special rolls.
They do have a good selection of rolls to choose from and be sure to see if there are any specials. If I am feeling a fried roll, I will typically get the House Roll, which has an assortment of fish. I also tend to lean towards some of the spicy-based rolls, such as the Fantastic Roll and John's Roll. In addition, if you are feeling spicy in your life, go get the Fire Roll, which has spicy yellowtail and the jalapenos that will give you that spicy kick that you are looking for.
The staff has always been great to me here and I shall keep coming back! Also note that this place is BYOB!
While I did not dine-in, I ordered food to pick up. The ease of ordering was friendly and quick. (I didn't pick up the food myself so I can't say anything about that part of the experience.)
The food was phenomenally delicious and the prices were so reasonable! When i looked up the menu, I couldn't believe how well priced everything was! I wanted to order everything! My boyfriend and I ordered the Pork Katsu set and it came with so much food, it was awesome (and did I mention delicious?) The pork was fried perfectly without being dry and the rice was nice and fluffy. It came with california roll, shumai, salad and a soup! Whaaattt? Crazy.
I ordered two rolls, the volcano roll and Monica roll. Both tasted so fresh and the spicy sauce was a party in my mouth. I wanted to keep eating but there wasn't room left in my stomach.
My boyfriend and I decided this will definitely be our go-to place for sushi from now on. It was great.
Friendly and great service.
Its a BYOB and there is a store across the street if you need a drink.
To start us off, they served us free steamed mussels. Perfect to dip in the spicy sriracha and goes very well with beer.
We enjoyed the sashimi and eel roll. Portions are large.
Standard variety of fish, salmon, tuna, yellowtail.. etc.
No big deal on the fish, but the star of this restaurant are the servers.
I love me some sushi and this is easily one of the best sushi places in the area. Always fresh, great options, and nice sized portions, you just can't go wrong here. Even the customer service is great with every single waiter being very friendly and willing to offer any help with the menu (extremely helpful when bringing kids). I'd probably say, the only real con to this location is that it gets a bit tight at times and is usually crowded. But then again, it being crowded just shows how good the place is!
This place is like the place to be for dinner. Every time I come here, it is super crowded and there's a wait out the door. The other night, I ended up just ordering to go because the wait was going to be an hour.
This little hole in the wall local Japanese restaurant is truly a gem.
FOOD:
Anything you get here is bound to be good. I especially love their chicken teriyaki bento box and their shrimp tempura's. The tempura is always so crispy and they do it right with the panko rub unlike some other place.
One of the best parts is if you dine in, they give you a complimentary bowl of mussels!! I mean, who does that?? That's a big thing in of itself!!
Their rolls are fresh and delicious-I always get mine with extra spicy mayo.
ATMOSPHERE:
It's a typical small Japanese themed restaurant. It's a relatively small place-probably seats 6 at the bar, then 24 max more at the tables. That's probably why there's always a long wait during peak hours.
SERVICE:
Everyone is very nice and friendly here. You ask for something and they will give it to you. Very fast service too!
Highly recommend this place. Please check them out!
