Nikko Hibachi Asian Fusion

Located on Amsterdam Avenue just down the block from Columbia University, this venue offers a choice between seating around hibachi grills and quieter regular tables. The kitchen prepares a mix of Japanese, Chinese, and Thai dishes, ranging from specialty sushi options like the Harlem roll to curries and classic Chinese plates. Portions are large enough to yield leftovers, and the bar serves sake, beer, and notably strong cocktails. While service remains attentive, the room can get chaotic and busy, drawing a spirited crowd of local families and student groups.
