" We had a blast at Niku Japanese Grill! It was so cool to grill our food at the table. The sushi was fresh, and I loved every bite. The robot serving staff was a fun surprise that kept the kids laughing. Our server was attentive and provided great recommendations. My only complaint would be that the sushi prices can add up quickly if you're not careful. Overall, it was a fantastic family outing that everyone enjoyed! " (*Curated Review*)

" Niku Japanese Grill is a hit! The AYCE menu had a nice variety, and I loved the fresh grilled meat options. The ambiance is modern and vibrant, perfect for a group outing. Our server was laid-back but super efficient—no waits for refills! However, I wish there were more unique sushi rolls available. The regular offerings were good, but not very distinct from each other. In the end, a very enjoyable experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a mixed experience at Niku Japanese Grill. While the service was excellent and our server was friendly, I felt that the food lacked the authenticity I was hoping for. The sushi was good but some rolls were made with imitation crab, which took away from the overall experience. On the other hand, the grilled meats were flavorful. I appreciate the effort they put into the atmosphere, making it an enjoyable place to dine. Would consider returning, but tempering expectations regarding authenticity. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Niku Japanese Grill was a new adventure for me. The AYCE concept was fun, and grilling my own food brought a unique twist to dinner. The service was excellent; staff checked in regularly and made good recommendations. However, I felt the sushi selections were somewhat lacking. Some items also carried an extra fee that I didn't anticipate. Nonetheless, the overall experience was positive, and I would go back for the cooked items in particular. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Niku Japanese Grill and was blown away by the extensive AYCE menu. The fresh sushi and grilled meats were favorite highlights, and I loved having the option to cook at my table. The atmosphere combined a modern touch with a welcoming vibe. Especially enjoyed the robot service, which added a fun twist! Our server was attentive without being overbearing. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely adored everything about Niku! From the bright ambiance to the delicious food, it was a completely satisfying night out. The AYCE grilling is a unique experience but the punches of flavor in each dish made it even better. Our server was top-notch, always checking in on us with a smile! The pricing may feel steep but considering the quality of the food and experience, it was justified. Would recommend it for date nights or celebrations! " (*Curated Review*)

" Niku was a great addition to Orillia! The AYCE concept was fun and engaging. I really liked the grill-your-own element. However, I was hoping for more robust sushi selections than the ones available. The overall quality of the meat for grilling was definitely a highlight, though! The service here is worth noting as the staff were very friendly. Overall, had a fun night that I am happy I tried. " (*Curated Review*)
