How does omakase at Niku work?
Our omakase is a little different from a traditional, coursed tasting. You choose a nine-piece nigiri set or a fifteen-piece sashimi set; the chef selects the pieces, and we bring the whole set to your table at once instead of serving it piece by piece. Enjoy it at your own pace. See the omakase page for more details.

East meets west Japanese cuisine: sushi and sashimi, robata style grilled plates including A5 Miyazaki wagyu, signature maki, donburi, and composed entrees, alongside a craft cocktail and sake bar. Browse the full menu.
Does Niku have vegetarian or vegan options?
Yes. Plant-based dishes include spicy garlic edamame, the Niku signature salad, the Yasai Maki with cucumber, avocado, and asparagus, agedashi tofu, and charred shishito peppers with yuzu aioli. Tell your server about any dietary needs and the kitchen will guide you.
Does Niku have a bar?
Yes. The craft cocktail bar takes Japanese spirits seriously, with a sake list spanning junmai, ginjo, and daiginjo, Japanese whisky, and signature cocktails. See the drink menu.
Is Niku close to Carmel and Westfield?
Very. Sylo Xing sits right on the Zionsville and Carmel border, so Niku is a short drive from Carmel, Westfield, and Whitestown for sushi, omakase, and wagyu without the trip downtown. See directions from Carmel, from Westfield, and from Whitestown.
