An east meets west
experience.

Where tradition meets the unexpected.

Niku Kitchen.Sushi.Bar bridges the precision of traditional Japanese cuisine with the playfulness of contemporary American dining. Every plate is built around respect: for the fish, the technique, and the guests who join us.

Our menu moves from delicate nigiri to bold signature rolls, from charcoal-fired robata to a craft cocktail bar that takes Japanese spirits seriously. East meets west, served with intention.

The dining room seats about 120 guests across a main floor, an eight seat chef’s counter, a private dining room for 24, and a seasonal patio. Niku opened on May 29, 2026 at Sylo Xing on the Zionsville and Carmel border.

A 6,000 sq ft
destination.

Walls of textured stone, warm Edison lighting, and bubble-glass partitions set the tone. The dining room flows into a craft cocktail bar; the outdoor patio takes over when the weather agrees.

Hospitality is
a craft.

Our culinary team brings together years of experience across traditional sushi houses and modern Japanese kitchens. Front-of-house leadership is built around one principle: every guest should feel like our most important one.
