NIKU - Japanese BBQ & Udon Bar

Two floors of Japan – from street food to haute cuisine

A culinary journey in the heart of Nuremberg

In the middle of the lively Lorenzer Platz district, NIKU opens up new worlds of culinary delights: here, authentic street food meets exclusive haute cuisine – on two floors. Downstairs, the Sanuki Udon Bar invites you to enjoy a simple, honest taste experience with homemade noodles made from Japanese flour. Whether it's a quick bowl for lunch or an izakaya snack in the evening, the ground floor embodies Japan's everyday culinary culture. One floor above, things get luxurious: for the yakiniku grilling experience, chef Yoshimasa Kasai and his team serve rare Ozaki Wagyu beef – one of the most exclusive types of beef in the world, sourced directly from Miyazaki.

Japanese food culture meets the Nuremberg scene

What makes NIKU so special? The attention to detail. From the minimalist interior and respectful service to the storytelling at the table, you can feel the deep connection to Japanese culture. Every dish is prepared with authentic ingredients – from Sanuki flour to certified Wagyu beef. It's not just about the food, but about the experience. In the heart of the old town, NIKU blends perfectly into the atmosphere of Lorenzer Platz: a meeting place for the scene and enjoyment, between shopping, culture and culinary adventure.
