NIKU NIKU Japanese BBQ(Phra Khanong-Ekkamai Branch)

“The food is delicious and there's a wide variety to choose from. The atmosphere is nice, but it was quite hot and the air conditioning wasn't working (on the day I went). The prices are quite high, but the food portions are small and don't justify the price.”

“Amazing food in an amazing environment, very close to the Sukhumvit centre. And great service. Highly recommendable from a dining experience perspective! The only drawback is that they charge a 3% fee for card payments. When you get such an amount of a bill (because of the type of food, not that the place itself is crazily expensive), it’s not fare to pass the card scheme fees to the customer 🙃”

“Food was great! Amazing wagyu. Wished there was more serving for the prize. When we started burning our wagyu, they immediately helped us and grilled our meat for us.”

“When I entered the restaurant, I asked a staff member if there was a table available for two. The staff didn’t answer my question but turned to chat with a colleague instead. So, I stood waiting at the entrance until another staff member came to speak with me, and then I asked again if there was a table for two. That’s when I finally got a table. If you want to get the dishes shown on the cover/menu photos, you have to order at least two sets, which means you end up paying double. I don’t mind the price itself, but I do have an issue with the fact that when paying by credit card they charge an extra 3%, yet there was no sign or notice about this—I looked around carefully. The staff also didn’t grill the vegetables that were left on the tray for me, so I’m not sure if they were reused or thrown away. The day I went, the place was quite crowded. The taste of the food was okay.”

“Overall, quite disappointing. Service was very poor — we were the only table on the first floor, yet it was hard to even find a waiter. The meat quality was okay but portions were very small, and no one explained the restaurant’s confusing rules (like limits on free side dishes with set menus). The salmon tasted freshly defrosted and watery, and the beef tongue was below average. We spent about 4,500 THB, including 400 THB for service, but received no real service at all. Poor value for money — wouldn’t really recommend. For this price, there are plenty of better BBQ options in Bangkok — no need to come to a place with such poor service, where the staff hardly communicate or explain anything, and customers have to figure everything out on their own.”
