Nikuya Japanese - Fortitude Valley

I visited this restaurant specifically for the Baumkuchen. It was still early for dinner, so we appreciated the quiet atmosphere. The menu didn't have any pictures, so we were unsure of the portion sizes. My friend and I ordered gyoza, soba, mixed mushrooms, and grilled salmon. The portions were large, especially the grilled salmon - three sizable slices were served. We were already full before dessert, but we couldn't resist trying the Baumkuchen. A few minutes later, a generous serving of Baumkuchen with two scoops of ice cream arrived at our table. It was delicious, although I think I would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't eaten so much beforehand.

Really good bbq buffet!!! The premium buffet has so much variety with sashimi, sushi, noodles and great cuts of wagyu. The only issue I had was the service was very slow even though there were only 3 other tables that night. I’m not sure if they did that deliberately so that we ate less? Anyway, the food was nice and fresh. Lovely, spacious atmosphere. They validate parking as well!

Fantastic japanese restaurant with a great value hidden in Fortitude Valley! For only $59 (premium buffet) you can enjoy premium products (sashimi/prawns/scallops/wagyu steak vegetable, dumplings and more)! The experience is quite enjoyable as their are unique dining booths both inside and out and you get to cook your own meats to your liking! The staff were friendly, the ambience was nice (in both quiet and peak periods) and they also had a great range of drinks available. Would definitely recommend and would definitely go back!

This Japanese restaurant in Brisbane is my top favorite! They never disappoint. Whether it's the BBQ buffet or a quick takeout lunch, the food is always excellent. This is my go-to spot for weekday work lunches. I will definitely be returning again and again.

My partner and I visited Nikuya Japanese for the first time and tried their 4-canapé sushi and BBQ for 2 during lunch, priced at $52. It was the best Japanese food we have ever had. The service was excellent, and the waiters were very helpful in explaining everything to us. We will definitely be returning in the future. We give it 5 stars. I highly recommend trying the 3 taster Sake's as they paired perfectly with our meal.
