I came here with my friend for the first time since they opened, and I'm already looking forward to coming again. It's the perfect spot for a date night or girls night! I had the koji potato salad, the white fish white ponzu, chicken thigh skewers, tsukune chicken meatball skewer, and pork belly skewer and I was in heaven. The wagyu skirt steak melted in my mouth and the matcha brownie and azuki ice cream went so well together.

I got scallop, chicken heart, and pork skewers as a tester and this place is fantastic. You can get a full meal or just stop in for a snack skewer and a drink but believe me you will be tempted to stay. Food is cooked to order in front of you

Local friends invited me over during their soft opening weekend, and was excited to hear about an Izakaya opening in Long Beach. Having grown up in Torrance you get spoiled with a lot of great Japanese options, and this new spot in DTLB is on par. Got to try something different with their Japanese inspired quesadilla and it was delicious, as was the rest of the food. I was a bit disappointed to see that the Nikaido wasn't served as a highball like at the Dodgers stadium. Ended up ordering a bottle of green tea to mix it on the rocks, and was surprised that either the soda water or other options had to be purchased as a bottle to mix the drink. Overall a great place for authentic Japanese food in Long Beach, and excited to see what else they add to the menu.

They have a charcoal grill!! Excellent service, food, and energy. I will absolutely be back often. My favorite was the kyoto style pressed nigiri.

I'll definitely be coming back for the yakitori. The sashimi had nice chunks of fish. Service was warm and friendly. The quesadilla heavy but with interesting flavors a little too rich, so we took some home. The liver was like pate.
