NIKU X Los Angeles Reviews from The Last Year
Let's first talk about the parking.
It's located in the Wilshire Grand Building where the Intercontinental Hotel is. You have to use the Valet, there is no self parking. I posted the parking rates, but it's pretty much $15 with validation. We were there for almost 3 hours and paid $16.50 with the 10% city tax. The restaurant is located on the 2nd floor. You'll see it on the button when you enter in the elevator. Walk to the right once you exit. The restaurant is pretty big with very high ceilings. Unfortunately, being on the 2nd floor doesn't give you much views of the DTLA area. We ran a bit late and had to call in to let them know. When we arrived, we had to wait 5-10 minutes before our table was ready. Very strange because at 7pm on a Thursday, the restaurant wasn't even half full. After a while, we were led to our table and I noticed that pretty much all of the tables had a built in grill from what I can see. Not sure if the tables by the windows have the grills. My wife and I noticed how hard the seats were. It was all wood and sitting there for almost 3 hours was not very fun. To this day, I don't understand why restaurants don't provide comfy seats instead of these hard seats and pretty much kind of ruin your dining experience. Especially since they offer tasting menus and everybody knows that this type of dining experience will last at least 2+ hours. We chose the Yakiniku Tasting Menu for $230pp. I noticed how slow and how off the pacing of our dining experience was. I think it took about 15-20 minutes for our appetizer to come out, which was the Garlic Albacore. This shouldn't take that long since it's raw and doesn't need any cooking. Once that came out, the rest of our food starting to come out at a better pace. My one big issue was that when they brought out the meats, it sat there for at least 20-25 minutes before our server came by to start cooking it. He did a fantastic job at explaining all of the food, sauces and how they are made. That was great. At first, I thought maybe they are letting it thaw or come up to room temp. But the couple at the table next to us was on a much faster pace and they ordered the same tasting menu and was seated at least 30 minutes after us. Their meat probably sat for about 5-10 minutes and the manager ending up grilling it for them. Overall, I would not come back here because I don't feel that the food was all that great. It was good, but not worth the $230pp you are going to be spending here. Plus, in all honesty, I left still feeling hungry because the portions were so small and the wait time/pace didn't help either. All in all, we spent about $760 with 3 drinks, the tasting menu and the A5 upgrade. I've been to Yakiya in Pasadena and the food was more mind blowing and only cost $125pp. I know that Niku X has only been opened for about a year now and it kind of feels like it to. Sorry, but I would skip this place and go some where else.
Brunch of champions!! My girlfriends and I came to
Brunch of champions!! My girlfriends and I came to celebrate our best friend's 30th birthday last weekend and we can't stop raving about the experience. The food and service were absolutely exceptional. We ordered wagyu , tuna crispy rice, sushi and sashimi platters and my favorite dish was the make your own handroll experience. Which comes with yellowtail, salmon, wagyu and tuna. Another highlight was the potato's. We definitely got two orders of those lol. I was shocked this place wasn't absolutely packed. But it was a rainy Sunday morning. The ambience is so nice. Felt like we were in Miami a little bit! We'll definitely be back!!
A 10/10 experience I will always recommend.
Had the best tasting grilled meat. The ambience, the quiet setting, the cohesive staff, I loved it all and will be back to actually get the course meals.
I love this place.
The food is great and so is the ambiance. Service was awesome too! Me and my friends loved it. Can't wait to come back!
Had an absolutely wonderful time here for brunch.
I was pleasantly surprised by how attentive and kind the service was. Our table was celebrating a birthday and a few people had allergies and food restrictions which the staff navigated really well. Now to the food.... Incredible! Presentation was a 10/10 and the food tasted as good as it looked! I cant wait to try Niku X for Dinner! Definitely try the potatoes, waygu skewers and the sashimi was top!
Amazing food, fabulous service, 10/10 would recommend.
These potatoes were life changing. Fresh sushi. Great place to celebrate a birthday.
Located inside the Intercontinental Hotel in DTLA.
Good food and excellent customer service. It will not Dossapoint!
You have to ask for Mike! Treated us with roryalty we did
You have to ask for Mike! Treated us with roryalty we did the NFT, you had to get it! It worth it'! We'll come back again! David is the boss man! He is the reason why I came here! Come out!
The food was really good! I really liked the bone marrow
The food was really good! I really liked the bone marrow and the wagyu sando. The cocktails were really good as well, especially the sunomono margarita! The service was great too! Our server Jason was super nice and attentive. He also helped cook our meat orders for us, and it turned out really good. Overall great food and service.
I came here with my boyfriend's family for his birthday and
I came here with my boyfriend's family for his birthday and I was very captivated by the experience. We ordered their Tomahawk steak, Wagyu, and Ribeye steak with some bone marrow as well. The steak was served with a side of Himalayan sea salt which I could not get enough of. Each steak was very tender and flavorful the ribeye being especially my favorite. We also ordered their wagyu fried rice, which stole my heart with its flavor. Along with the steaks we ordered cocktails, and I believe their cocktails are very unique, like for instance I ordered the Matcha colada and it was delicious with its coconut and matcha blend. The service was great as well and handled a big party that represents the restaurant best, with grace and elegance. The ambiance is very romantic and upscale with warm lighting with modern minimal japanese decor. If you have the opportunity to come to LA and want an elegant and expensive night out you be disappointed with this restaurant
Personal experience
Very good! Excellent service. I'll request the booth area next time. Also, might be a nice place for a drink or two. It's on the expensive side, but the steaks are high quality and worth it:)

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Payouts Blocked Because of Sell Through Rate
Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
