About
Nikko Sushi — an Arlington Heights japanese mainstay. Nothing about this place is trying to impress you, and that's the point. Service that's warm without being over the top, and open late.

We ordered sushi takeout and it was the worst sushi experience we’ve ever had.
This place is a joke, I ABSOLUTELY REGRET paying for this, Its ridiculous that this was 55 dollars for each container, paying 25 dollars on a roll i would at least expect it to be 3/4 of one container but this type of service made me feel absolutely stupid paying for this.
This is the saddest and hardest bad review I've had to write. I have been coming to NIKKO SUSHI for almost 10 years.

So.... I was so deadset that they weren't open Sundays... And my boss said they were. I still said, "No way. I swear." We arrived and whoa. They were open! To my surprise, it was the first time they opened on a Sunday. That tickled my fancy and I was not at all disappointed with the service. We had gotten an array of appetizers and some beer. Soju too, which I like a lot. The menu is a lot different from when I used to go there/worked there (2016). But damn. They are doing great in my book. I really liked the service and would definitely go back again! Actually, I have been also getting to-go after that experience.

“This place is small but very good.”
This place is small but very good. Quick service. You can get a flaming roll kinda cool. The takoyaki and crab rangoons are good.

“Ever since I discovered this spot a month ago, I've been back multiple time.”
Ever since I discovered this spot a month ago, I've been back multiple time. It’s a Korean-Japanese fusion restaurant, and they absolutely nail it. There are a ton of roll options, so there's something for everyone. The sashimi and nigiri are always fresh, clean, and beautifully prepared. But don’t sleep on the kitchen menu. The Nagasaki pasta is packed with flavor. It's definitely one of those dishes you think about days later. The whole staff from the owner to the servers to the chefs behind the counter is warm, friendly, and genuinely makes you feel welcome. It’s the kind of place where you feel taken care of. If you're into sushi (or just good food in general), Nikko Sushi is 100% worth checking out.

“Delicious sushi, I haven't gotten to try the Korean foods here because the sushi keeps winning me over.”
Delicious sushi, I haven't gotten to try the Korean foods here because the sushi keeps winning me over! Tried the chicken fried rice, maki rolls of tuna and Chicago, the bluefin tuna with ponzu and the flaming Steve. Was a great experience! Our son loved the chicken in the fried rice but didn't like that it had a sweeter teriyaki like taste instead of soy. He added some soy and seemed happy!
