This might look like a cheap sushi place – and it is, technically – but Niko Niko isn’t messing around when it comes to sweet, unique combinations of flavors. The Los Feliz location and the slightly more upscale West Hollywood location share a few menu items, but also have their own unique creations, such as the Niko Express, a tasty WeHo roll smothered in batter-fried onions. They’re liberal with the eel sauce and spicy mayo, they’re willing to add avocado to anything (which is a huge point in our book), and a handful of rolls feature juicy, delicious mango. Also unique to them is butterfish – aka ono, or white tuna. Just get a couple sushi slices of that and you’ll be happy.
The haiku version:
Los Feliz sushi
Is like heaven for a dime
And they have ono
