Nihon Whisky LoungeGreat FoodI had a great time at Nihon this weekend. I went there for dinner to start out a friend's bachelor party. He loves whisky and the selection they have is unbeatable. The whisky cocktails were excellent, and the sushi was fantastic. Great ambience6/14/2013 12:00:00 AMDon't let the exterior fool you!Although I was unimpressed by it's outside appearance, inside is a cozy, energetic ambience. Downstairs is an energetic whiskey bar with more than 100 scotch and whiskeys. Upstairs along the balcony is a quieter setting for dining. most tables are for 2-4. Service was excellent. They serve somewhat pricey, but tasty, Japanese tapas. Mixed tuna and cucumber served in a cocktail glass was flavorful. The tempura shiitake mushrooms stuffed with chicken was simple, with nice texture. The delicious crab salad was a large portion. The grilled salmon belly was a light, small dish, but flavorful. I enjoyed the drier of their two unfiltered sakes, dry and sweet. I definitely will be returning!6/4/2013 12:00:00 AMLong Varied Menu and All Hits.Great variations on Japanese dishes, don't let the "Whiskey Bar" in title fool you, the real attraction here is the small plates food. It can add up, but worth the splurge on some items.5/29/2013 12:00:00 AMThe cocktails here are excellent:The cocktails here are excellent: creative, strong and numerous. The food, I found, was hit or miss. The mars attacks was so, so good while the pork belly was the texture of chicken. Overall, though, a very cool place with cool people working there.5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMNihon has pleasantly turnedNihon has pleasantly turned itself around in terms of quality of food, level of service and choice of cocktails. I have been going to Nihon for over 6 years now, and have always found it to be a hidden gem. The sushi rolls were creative and fresh, and they seemed consistent with the portion sizes I remember when the restaurant first opened. Try the sunomono salad, its very good. The whiskey selections and accommodating waitresses were wonderful. The hostess is extremely friendly and always greets us with a smile on her face.1/17/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat prompt service, totallyGreat prompt service, totally respected our need to get to a show but did not feel rushed. Sushi quality was awesome, lots to drink otherwise if you're not into whiskey, but if you are...there's a few choices ;).12/13/2012 12:00:00 AM
