Niki's Tokyo Inn

One of the most authentic Japanese restaurants I know in the states, and absolutely the most reasonable and generous. It was impressive how many sashimis there were on the plate and it was only 32! Everything was incredibly Japanese and tasty. It doesn't look like a restaurant outside so this place is really a hidden gem. Haha You definitely want to make a reservation. We walked in there and although they squeezed us in but it was a long wait.

The food was absolutely amazing here and we had great service. We got seated without a reservation but we were only a party of 2. The sushi and udon were incredible. The inside is so cozy and we loved the ambience. We opted not to do Japanese style seating since I didn’t have socks on, but next time we will definitely do it!

Will forever love this restaurant 💕 One of the only places in SA with Japanese style seating and I ALWAYS order the Tempura Vegetables it's such a large portion for such a good price and this is such an enjoyable restaurant for me. I come at least 2x a month 🍱🍤🍣🍜✨️ *Pat is the best waiter and he's always telling funny jokes and takes the best care of us! Ask for him :)

I am very impressed. The staff was very nice and the atmosphere was so comfy. The food was remarkable and I am a very picky eater too. For $40 we (2 people) got full and had dinner in a private room at a traditional floor japanese table. 🥰We were asked to take our shoes off and get comfy. Best experience ever! Make sure to make reservations prior! Atleast the day before.

I can't say enough good things about this restaurant and staff. I was a little skeptical at first only because my diet and stomach doesn't allow for many eating adventures. However, this place was worth the dining experience alone. I was able to enjoy dining with my family in a relaxed, authentic dining atmosphere while having the best food at a more than reasonable price. Delicious food , excellent service at a more than reasonable price all make for the perfect dining experience. Don't hesitate to make a reservation and stop in and enjoy 😉. Thank you, Niki's Tokyo Inn ❤️

I had the Tokio Dinner combo which had a little bit of everything. It was fresh and lots of food. I ordered the dessert and would skip it next time. Best to make reservations before you come. Also, only open for dinner and parking is limited. Loved the presentation and taste. Coming back with my honey. P.s. we both enjoyed the unfiltered sake and teriyaki beef and the suhsi

Just had a delicious dinner at Niki’s Tokyo Inn! This restaurant has been around since 1970. It’s San Antonio’s first family owned Japanese restaurant. It’s the place to go for authentic Japanese cuisine! I’m so glad they survived the pandemic. We enjoyed sitting at the bar though you can sit Japanese style at a table. To start they bring you a hot towel to clean your hands and a small cucumber salad with octopus. We then shared a Asahi Super Dry beer with hot sake. For my entree I ordered the Chirashi bowl which was excellent. My wife had the tempura vegetables and Yakitori Dinner both were fantastic. If you like real Japanese food, this is the place to go!! It’s a hidden gem. Check out my photos:

You know, as a self-proclaimed Foodie, Quality of Food is pretty important for me; but even more important for me (to get that 5-Star Rating), it’s Great Service! That genuine, down-home Service that comes across as sincere Kindness and makes you feel Welcomed and Appreciated for visiting; Yep, that’s what this place does! Definitely one of the Best Customer Service experiences I’ve received in a while—and to top it off, the Food was Super-Delicious as well! Don’t let the small building fool you as it’s been around for 52 years already so it offers a homey, down to earth ambiance with a decor of days past but the Service and the Food are so Good, everything just falls into place! From Great Appetizers/ Soups 🍲; to Wraps/ Sushi 🍣; to Tempura Family Plates and even Curry🍛, this place is a MUST TRY if you Enjoy Japanese Cuisine! But bring a Great Attitude and this Family-Run Business will smother you with Great Genuine Kindness and Customer Service! Heck, we didn’t even have a reservation and they still accommodated us for Dinner! Totally Enjoyed my evening with the Daughter and definitely glad she suggested this new spot for dinner; oh, and don’t forget their Wonderful Desserts—definitely the cherry that tops off the Evening! 👍🏽
