Niikura Review Summary

Upscale Chinese restaurant. A very popular lunch spot. Three people in the kitchen and two servers busy working during lunchtime. Lunch set menu is cash only.

Delicious Chinese Dinner at a Soothing Ambiance !

The restaurant, which has been renovated recently, is located near Kamata station. The facade does not look fancy, but the wooden interior is cosy and comfortable.

I chose the Sazanka (Camellia sasanqua) course out of the four types of dinner courses available which was amazing, although it was the most affordable course among them. The course contained 9 dishes and used sufficient seasonal fresh food. And their service style was nouvelle cuisine chinoise style, so I could enjoy each dish taking my time. All of the dishes were not only delicious but also very presentable. For example, the six small portions of appetizer were served on different small lovely plates which were different in taste, smell and look. I enjoyed them as their ingredients were fresh, and I could sense that a lot of time and effort went into preparing those.

The service was brilliant. All of the staff were kind and professional. They engaged with customers heartly, which lit up our dining experience.

You would be better off making a reservation in advance. Especially, some dinner courses (Keika and a special course) are required to be reserved three or five days in advance.

I cannot wait to go back and try other dishes. Highly recommended.

I went there 1-2 years ago, and it's the best Chinese food I've ever eaten. When I first entered after making a reservation for the 10-course menu, the staff was friendly and the atmosphere of the restaurant was traditional and stylish.

The first thing that came out was the chicken liver, and it looked beautiful, and even though I can't eat liver, this one was delicious. delicious! The bowls for each course are not only beautiful, but also of high quality and all delicious. Although it's far from home, I definitely want to go again. This is a 5⭐️ shop!

This place was the only one that even now I can't forget because the level of their cooking technique was so high. The dish, plating was stunning, the food was amazing. They actually deserve a Michelin star to be honest! I rarely give a 5 star but this place deserves it!

April 2024
I've used it several times for lunch.
I didn't have a reservation, but I waited until they opened at 11:30 and was shown around right away.
However, the place quickly became nearly full.

There is a first floor and a second floor, but this time we had counter seats on the first floor.
The second floor is quiet, but I like the atmosphere on the first floor and the live feeling of the kitchen, which you can see right in front of you if you sit at the counter.
This time, I made stir-fried Tsui Peach and beef with oyster sauce and shared it with my sister.
Both were very delicious and a satisfying lunch.

I haven't ordered a course meal yet, but I would like to try one on a special day someday.

You can enjoy the best Sichuan Chinese food very easily for lunch.
The mapo tofu and crispy fried Daisen chicken are delicious.
If you live nearby, this will definitely become a store you visit regularly.
