Om rice for instance is quite famous and popular in Japan but you generally won't find it around Melbourne. While I'm not a big fan of om rice it's good to see it on offer here at Niku Niku.

| Om Rice |
Like most restaurants in Melbourne most of the seafood isn't fresh. I'm not going to complain though because that is kind of standard in Melbourne. It's the price of living in Australia which is really quite expensive globally speaking.
Generally, I really like the food at Niku Niku. It's not outstanding but I'm not paying an exhorbitant price either. Everything is pretty much reasonable and sometimes that's good enough.
While I am in no rush to get back to Niku Niku I'd consider going back there maybe once a year. That might not seem like praise but it actually is. The restaurant trade is fierce in Melbourne so for me to consider going back there for Japanese is no mean feat.
So all round I quite like Niku Niku. It's not exceptional but nor is it run of the mill. It manages to make it's own statement at a fair price. A job well done.
