Saw Nico's on DDD a while ago and made a point to visit. Apparently they have expanded since the show and though the service is basic, food is good, a little more pricey than I believe it should be but reasonable. Good selection of seafood options, portions are average but food is certainly tasty. Worth visiting if you are in... More

My first meal in Hawaii and it was a great choice! Plenty to choose from on the menu. Save room for dessert and have a cup of kona coffee with it

My family went to Nico's on the advice a massage therapist who was a local. Great call! The portion sizes were more than enough and the food was delicious. Everybody in my family loved their food and the service and atmosphere were great. Prices were good to and I would even say were a bargain. I would definitely recommend this... More

This was our first visit to Nico's. It was very crowded with lots of young locals, families with all ages, and pretty noisy. It's not a fussy place, so no tablecloths and some foods served in paper lined baskets. The portions were large and the dishes were well prepared. The prices were pretty reasonable also. Seating is both inside and... More

A tribute to the spirit of ALOHA. A bit crowded but well worth this slight inconvenience. Our server was exceptions and her recommendations were spot on! The chocolate/peanut butter is a MUST if having room for dessert. We split one between two of us - we were so full from the superb meal. Be sure to order a seafood dish!... More

Nicos USED to be a great place for seafood- but I fear the new larger space and Large crowds are moving them down the scale. They're still nest door to the wholesale fish market- 200 yds from their old loction--so the fish ought to be super- and is. Look for the chalk board specials. You used to be able to... More

My family and I visited Nico's, after a less than remarkable ex experience at Uncle's next door. All of the dishes we ordered were well prepared and the service was excellent. Our favorite was the Ahi. It was served with fresh steamed vegetables and a garlic dipping sauce. We ate outside and enjoyed a great view of the harbor.

Met a colleague at Nicos for lunch. Food is good, staff is friendly, parking is OK, but you may have to walk a little. No service to speak of; it's sort of fast food style. You order from a line up front and they give you a restaurant beeper. You then search for a table and pick up your a... More
