Niku Kitchen.Sushi.Bar opened in 2026 at Sylo Xing in Zionsville, about twenty minutes from downtown Indianapolis. Straight up Michigan Road, free parking at the door.
Downtown has plenty of sushi. What it does not have is a counter where the omakase is cut piece by piece in front of you for $70, A5 Miyazaki wagyu served with its certificate of origin, and a charcoal robata grill working the same room as a serious sake list.
Niku is one of the area’s new restaurants of 2026, and the room matches the menu: textured stone, warm Edison light, and a bar that treats Japanese whisky with respect.
Four ways Indy makes the drive.
A cocktail at the bar, sushi at the counter, dessert to share. Twenty minutes out, and no circling for a garage when you get here.
Nine piece nigiri or fifteen piece sashimi progression, cut to order. How it works.
A5 Miyazaki wagyu with papers presented at the table, plus charcoal-grilled robata. The wagyu program.
A private room for 24, the chef’s counter for 8, or a full buyout for 120. Private dining.
We are at 11543 Sylo Xing in Zionsville. From downtown Indianapolis, Michigan Road (US-421) runs nearly straight to our door; I-65 North works just as well. From the northwest side, Traders Point, or 86th Street, you are closer to us than to downtown.
Free parking at the door. Weekday lunch runs 11:30 to 3 if the north side is your territory during the day. Lunch at Niku.
