We had heard about Nishiki for quite some times. Most people claimed that it is the best Japanese restaurant in KK. Paying high expectation, we went to Nishiki for dinner. It was our first visit and we were truly disappointed. The service wasn't very bad, but their faces looked like they had overworked and customers were greeted by their ''not welcome'' looks. We even overheard their conversation complaining about the non-stop crowds to their shop.

Coming back to our food, maybe some people will disagree with our food review(it is just our opinions), I just think that this is the most overrated restaurant. The food weren't as good as they claimed. I guessed their good business is probably due to the history of the shop. It is one of the oldest Japanese restaurant in KK.

Overall, the food just tasted average. Not bad but not great though. Sashimi was not as fresh as Fukurou. With the prices they charged which is not cheap though, local rice was used instead of Japanese rice.
