Love the sushi, totally casual, fresh, friendly and a real gem. Like the other items too, maybe a few odd pairings. Always a good crowd, limited in some items, good beer choices, a little wine, just enough to complete your meal.

I've lived here for 7 years, and I've never found anywhere with better sushi than Nikkis. Good quality at a reasonable price.

I've been happy with everything I ever ordered from here. The food is fresh, well prepared and comes out in a pretty timely manner. It can be a little cramped unless you get a booth but it's worth the visit either way.

This restaraunt is kind of hidden in downtown Wilmington. When you walk in it is a very laid back and dark restaraunt. I thought is was run down and needed a makeover. To my suprise the food was the best ever. My family loves sushi and I absolutely hate it so I went in expecting to get a bowl of... More

Just came from Nikki's on Racine Drive for a Bento Box lunch. Waiter (Webb) was accomodating and pleasant and brought my Miso soup immediately, but preparation was slow. Webb kept checking the kitchen but no Bento Box was forthcoming. Finally, about 20 minutes later, it arrived. Since there were two sushi chefs in the window and it was early(11:30) with... More

The best sushi in the South. The Tuna Tetaki is also out of this world. All their pieces and rolls are perfectly done. One will not leave hungry and will enjoy their experience.

I do not like downtown or Mayfaire but have gotten better service and fewer crowds at the Racine Drive location. Typical sushi place, decent.
