Nikko Hibachi: Tableside Hibachi and Sushi, No Happy Hour
Nikko Hibachi doesn’t publish a happy hour. It’s a hibachi and sushi restaurant at 177-21 Union Tpke in Fresh Meadows, and the pitch is dinner on a tabletop grill, not a discounted drink window.
The verdict: go for the show and the group table, not the deal. Master hibachi chefs cook steak and seafood on an open flame at your table, and the sushi bar runs a long list of rolls. The cheapest items on the menu are miso soup at $4 and a California roll at $6, so this is a sit-down meal rather than a quick round. The catch: if you want discounted drinks, there’s nothing to chase here.
What to Expect
- Hibachi: steak and seafood cooked tableside by the chefs.
