"First time visiting! Store was very clean we went on a Sunday mid afternoon around 2. I got the xl handheld donair with a caeser salad and my bf got the pizza nacho combo with the ultimate pizza and the classic bbq nachos. The food was beyond amazing. The xl donair was bigger than my hand and the caeser salad was a perfect side. Really nice to get a caeser as a side with no huge upcharge. My bfs pizza had an insane amount of meat on it and he said it was amazing. He loved the nachos with the Pizza and he even mentioned he loved how it was plated . I forget the servers name but she was so friendly and checked on us often! We will def make the drive from Sarnia again. Excellent food and great service!! Also the menu is huge there's almost too much to pick from!! Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: CA$20–30 Dietary restrictions accommodated: Vegetarian, Vegan, Gluten free Recommendation for vegetarians Somewhat recommend"

"A fellow couple had told me about Nikko`s and the great food !!!! I went home and asked my wife if she wanted to go out for dinner. Her response was sure!!!!. A quick text to the couple that talked about Nikko`s earlier that day and it was a double date family night out!!!!! Well if you can eat the entire meal that you order, you have a hollow leg !!!! The food was amazing and the portions are worth the value !!!! My wife and I will be back again !!!!!! Truly enjoyed our meal and our dinner date night !!!!!"
