Sushi, Japanese and Asian Food Restaurant located at Independence Mall in the Food Court, in Wilmington, NC.
I cannot stop going to this place I had the first time here I had cucumber on avocado cream cheese one of my favorite sushi's and they did really well I thought that this was going to be like another mall sushi but this is way better the boba is super good The girl who works serious really nice overall good service good food and the atmosphere is the mall
Honestly Sama is the best sushi chef I have ever had sushi from. I canβt wait to try some new rolls by her. π€©
Just read a few of the reviews and they are accurate. Mall closes at 8 on Saturdays and I stood in line at 7:30 for several minutes waiting for service. I was told it would just be a minute and waited a little longer. Iwas then asked if I was picking up and when I said togo, I was notified at 7:36 that they were no longer taking new orders. Though the cashier was polite, it was a waste of my time. I wanted 1 takeout sushi roll. Change the hours to 7:30 if you can serve anyone after that time.
I normally run into the mall to grab Sushi on my lunch hour every couple of weeks. I order the same thing (Angel Hair Roll) and Sama, the young lady that normally runs the register is already ringing in my order when she see me coming. Sheβs always so sweet and the fact that she sees many people throughout the week, it brings a smile to my heart to know that she remembers little old me! My food is always on point and the service is always great. This is definitely my go to place for sushi.
I work at the mall and I was relying on Nikki's to be my dinner. I came into the food court at 6:10 and the mall closes at 7. They let me stand there for a few minutes while they chatted to each other and then when I looked ready to order they told me they were closed. Ummm the mall closes at 7 and that is the posted closing hours online as well. My store is on the exterior part of the mall and I don't get to go home until 9:30, I was relying on Nikkis to be my dinner. This is super disappointing. Nikkis is the only food in the food court that I like but after this visit and the behavior from staff I don't even know if I want to come back.
Terrible place every single time we give it another shot, never coming back. The sushi is not good and the service is really bad. We got two kinds of sushi rolls (I even left a tip) and WE WERE TOLD WE WILL BE CALLED when order is ready but that NEVER HAPPENED. The woman who took our order placed a brown bag after 10 minutes on the side of the counter which we thought were for online pickup orders. She looked right at me and my husband as she placed it there but didnβt say anything. We waited until we couldnβt anymore. When we approached the counter, my husband turned the brown bag to us to see if there is any label and yes it was our order. There was no way for us to know it was ours as as the label was not facing the counter. If you hate your job, quit! Donβt be rude to customers!
I am new to sushi and the nice girl at the register was so patient with me. She helped me with the menu and was very polite. I ended up getting 3 sushi rolls and it was absolutely delicious. I will definitely be coming back !!

Waiting 27 minutes for one regular roll and no other orders in front of me or behind me is crazyβ¦β¦

Ordered online and our order was exorbitantly 25 min late!!! So from time of order to the time we received our food (totaling about 40$) was 50 minutes and this is not okay. If you don't value customers who order online don't offer the service.

Worst sushi I've ever eaten
Sushi is fine, but wait is about 20 minutes even for one simple roll and no one waiting- doesn't quite fit in food court situation.
incredibly long wait for food with poor service. if you want a quick bite at the mall avoid this vendor.

Sushi is good and deals are good when they decided to ring them up as the deal. I bought some sushi during my lunch break and asked for 3 regular rolls and they decided not to ring them up as the 3 for $14. When I brought it to their attention they said the didnβt bc I didnβt ask for it like that. That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard.
This is my favorite nikis location even though itβs in the food court now. I like the pick 3 lunch special

Pieces of sushi were tiny and food was crazy overpriced. Ordered online and they didnβt even provide soy sauce. Beyond disappointing.
I am by no means a sushi expert but this was some of the best I've personally ever had!
Foods great. Very very slow. I called the order in 40 minutes ahead and they still needs 10 more minutes.
Ate here while deployed to Wilmington during Hurricane Florence
The best sushi bar ever β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
Horrible ownership!!! I heard they were involved with some illegal stuff over in china and thats why their stores come and go!!!
Is this location closed for good?
Good food, but I believe they changed names.
Food is great and we have a server we love.
I'm sad they're moving from Independence Mall..
service was fantastic food was awesome and the waitress is so fckn hot
Delicious food, the happy hour apps a a great deal.
Awesome Service and very inexpensive!!!
Did not go here.
My favorite sushi place.
Great staff food great!
Sushi that's what they specialize in and that's what they serve you. Great place for a first date, or a date. Not a lot of noise just you and who you came with. Very calming place.
My favorite!
Delicious food and great service!
Gr8 food
Yum
Best sushi in Wilmington!
Great sushi, great specials, and friendly staff.
Great priced and really good sushi
Great place!
One of my favorite places!
Kind and attentive service. Not too busy but a comprehensive selection. You know what you're ordering and it comes out great. Definitely a primarily sushi spot. Nice little place.
Good sushi
I ordered the Chicken Pad Thai through DoorDash delivery and I was thoroughly disappointed. The DoorDash service was excellent and fast, but my food was terrible. Itβs smelled and tasted like vomit and was disgusting. I couldnβt even eat it and through it out immediately. It wasnβt spicy or anything. The WORST Pad Thai I have EVER had.
Happy hour -- check site.
Wonderful place for lunch and a quick bite. Really good service and the food was amazing.
Not the best Nikki's but was ok
Always good and unique food!
Usually have good sevice but tonight for some reason the sevice was terrible. We usually eat here 2 to 3 times a month and have never has this type of sevice before. We will probably not be returning anytime soon.
Super busy but the food is worth the wait
This is the best Nikki's in town!
Great perfect clean
I went with a group of seven yesterday. Three had the pad thai and two had the yaki soba and there were only onions as the vegetables. The menu stated "each meal contained Famous Thai noodles stir fried with cabbage, carrots, scallion and onion" I asked the waitress where the vegetables were and she stated that they were only in the vegetarian pad thai. So sad! These ingredients do not cost much and would make a huge difference. I took most of mine home, steamed some broccoli and carrots and enjoyed a healthy dinner.
They have really good water. Sushi entree and appetizers were bleh.
Great food, great service and great drinks. Our server Gina was amazing!!!
I'm a fan of pan fried oysters, and these oddly enough are the best in town.. however, there came is sushi, and I'm sadly disappointed I'd the fare. It's over priced for what you get, and there is nothing signature about it. I give 4 stars for the staff, who was great
Great help picking my dinner. Nice personable wait staff
sweet potato rolls!
OUTSTANDING worth the price
Fresh fresh
Friendly staff and great food!
Great place to eat
Good place to get sushi
Ever since Nikki's opened the food has always been great. I frequent this location quite often. There are weeks when I visit two three times for lunch and dinner. The current owners are doing a great job with their service, food, and wait staff. If you want Sushi, Nikki's is one of the best local spots in Wilmington. Although Nikki's is somewhat connected to Independence Mall it is not rambunctious at all. It is in fact very quaint in its own right. A nice quiet place to grab your favorite kind of sushi and enjoy a nice tokkuri of warm Sake. Great spot for a date night.
Stopped in for lunch. While the waitstaff was attentive and perfectly fine, the food took an exceptionally long time, even for sushi, once ordered. My co-workers order was incomplete and my spicy salmon and avacado roll was over powered by the spicy mayo.
Always good!
My favorite sushi place. Their spicy tuna and unagi rolls are delicious!
Delicious noodle soup, just be aware of pictures falling from the walls
Exceptional food and Services!
Great sushi excellent service
Great food!
Loved the sushi
Nice place, nice music and the staff were accommodating.
Love it...half price sushi Monday through Thursday from 2 to 4
The food there has so much flavore.
This is a great place for lunch or dinner. Especially after walking the mall. There sushi is great and so is there soups and salads. So if you want to try something different, drop by for a bite to eat. You won't be disappointed.
I love the sushi here!!! The service is typically fast and friendly as well.
Best Nikki's in town! Loved!
OUTSTANDING sushi and pad Thai! Great service and atmosphere!
Great atmosphere and food is always wonderful
Really like this place and I hope it will continue once the "redo" of the mall happens. Only moved here 2 years ago but thus far the best Japanese food.
This restaurant is a cornerstone of the essence of Wilmington. The food is always amazing and the atmosphere is cozy. I enjoy the veg gyoza the most. The dipping sauce is so good that I hide it from the waitress when she picks up the plate, so I can use it to dip my sushi. (I'm sure if I mentioned I wanted to keep it they wouldn't mind. Im just super shy.) I have almost never been disappointed (There was that time they were out of the veg gyoza : ( )
Great place for some noodles and sushi, it can take a while though
I had the Pad Thai and it wasn't that great. It came out cold and it didn't have a lot of flavor. But the atmosphere is awesome and enjoyable.
Server was very polite and I enjoyed my sushi!
Excellent sushi and service!
Best sushi in town, with Fast service and Great prices!
Great
My son loves Nikki's, we know it's not super authentic sushi but it's always fresh and tasty
The food is great and the prices are very reasonable! Check out the happy hour and lunch specials!
Fresh and delicious
Great sushi! Great lunch prices
I'd rather buy grocery store sushi. It's about the same quality and I don't need to worry about dealing with the inadmissible service and waitstaff.
A favorite of ours for quick lunch or romantic date night dinner. I highly recommend the fuji apple sake!
The best sushi in town in my opinion.
Always good food. Service could be better.
Bento lunch box is delicious! All the sushi I've ever tried has been phenomenal as well. Try their Poke Bowl, that's my boyfriend's go to. He loves it!
2-4 half off
Great sushi! Try the "Vanilla Gorilla", it's amazing!
Great customer aervice
Good sushi, not a bad price. I eat here often, and have never been disappointed.
