We have dined for the last three years at Nick San. Our meal was inconsistent in quality. The miso soup, Kumamoto oysters and eel hand roll were delicious. The yellowtail sashimi with curry/garlic was not up to standard and the lobster simbal had good flavor but was in a heavy, gooey chile sauce. The service was very good and pleasant as usual. For the price, we felt underwhelmed by this dining experience, probably our last. As an aside, we were charged for a grande bottle of water and just had our water glasses filled once.
Nick-San PalmillaResponded on January 11, 2025
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and dining with us over the past three years. We truly value your feedback, as it helps us improve. We’re sorry to hear that other aspects of your meal did not meet expectations. Your comments have been noted, and we’ll review them carefully with our team to ensure a better experience in the future. We sincerely hope you'll consider revisiting us.

The food was very fresh and beautifully presented! We will go back without question. The noise level makes it hard to carry on a conversation if you have a party bigger than four people but visually very nice.

Thank you for your kind review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the freshness and presentation of our dishes. We also appreciate your feedback about the noise level and will keep that in mind for future improvements. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!
