Nykos will always hold a special place in my heart as it was the first place I'd ever eaten sushi! The sushi the first few times I've gone was excellent! Unfortunately, the last time I went (2013) I became extremely ill. My fiancé also did not feel well afterwards. Not sure that I'd go again after that!

The food is amazing. The service is HORRIBLE. I ordered takeout at 9:30 on a Saturday, and they told me it would be 30 minutes. I walked in at 10:00 pm (there were still people there) and thinking they closed at 11, asked the waitress if they were closed. She practically yelled "yes, we are" at me. She was wearing sweatpants and had a visible dandelion tattoo. She went on to cut me off when I would speak, literally RIP money out of my hands, and throw my food at me and walk away. I have never had good service there. It's a shame because it is a great restaurant with good food. Just terrible waitresses.

This is by far the best sushi I have found between Philadelphia and pittsburgh. The owners are creative and kind. The sushi chef travels to NYC every week for fresh fish. She has created novel rolls (ask for the rise and shine rolls with bacon!!) and understands the meaning of omakase (chefs choice and usually about 9 courses) There is a lot more infusion here than just japanese/american! (Ask for the family made kimchi if you're a Korean food fan) as well as vietnamese ideations! Move beyond sushi and ask for some Kobe beef, or miso cod (non sushi lover friendly) Bonus if you can get in on a night with live entertainment and a wine pairing!!! They are great with kids and non adventurous eaters alike. If you can't have your philadelphia Morimoto's, bluefin, or umai, head here with an open mind Oh yeah and if you are adventurous... Tell the Korean female sushi chef to be creative!!

Came here for dinner with my coworker on a Thursday night. The parking lot was almost full so we thought to ourselves, "Full parking lot = popular = great food!" Not exactly true. After entering the restaurant, we noticed that most of the dining area was empty. Although that normally wouldn't be a problem, it was so quiet in there that our conversation seemed very loud. I suggest music be played to give the dining area more ambiance. I ordered one avocado roll and one salmon roll. My coworker ordered the paradise roll and Manhattan roll. It was concerning that one of the sushi makers was being taught how to make sushi (they make the sushi in the dining area) and that none of them were wearing hair nets. Forty minutes after ordering, the rolls arrive. My coworker stated that his rolls were good. My avocado roll was great and the salmon was decent. Although I was still hungry after finishing my first order, I didn't order anything else since I didn't want to wait so long for one. In conclusion, I believe this restaurant could be so much better. The staff was very friendly, the dining area and restrooms were clean, and the sushi prices were inexpensive. However, the discrepancies mentioned above detracted from the dining experience and I wouldn't dine here again.

Their sushi is wonderful. The regular menu is not. The crab bisque is very good. The blooming onion was dripping with grease. I think they need practice with the regular menu. If they only served sushi, I wouldn't mind because it is great here, but very expensive. We only go on special occasions.

This place was odd... Used to be an Italian restaurant probably, because the decor is still creepy faux-Tuscan frescoes and brick, although they serve a mix of sushi and other sorts of food, but not what I'd call a cohesive fusion menu.

I am always looking for a good sushi restaurant in the area and yelp says that this place is "Asian Fusion." The food at Nyko's is certainly tasty, but it is far from an Asian fusion restaurant. With a name like Nyko's I was expecting Greek/Mediterranean fare and by the way the building is decorated it appears that that might have been their original identity. Their online menu does not match what they actually serve in house so they need to update that. My husband was looking forward to mochi ice cream for dessert, but when we got there, we saw those manufactured dessert menus which means they're outsourced. The menu has many Mediterranean items such as pasta, steak and lamb chops. However there are random additions like Korean bulgogi. There are many many types of sushi to choose from and while the sushi chef is not Japanese, the rolls are pretty tasty. I started with the mini crab cakes just because it's one of my favorites and what I ate was perfectly cooked and seasoned. I also got the sushi roll with broiled yellowtail and thought it was fantastic. My husband was a big fan of the tuna. He said it was perfectly seared. And when he ordered the love roll, they were able to wrap it in soy paper, which not all sushi chefs do. I think this is a nice establishment with friendly service, but with a little refinement of the menu and the decor, they could definitely be better.

This is by far the weirdest place I have ever been to!! It says they are Asian fusion, but there is a little bit of everything on the menu. Steaks, chicken, pasta, sushi, curry...I wanted to tell the owner to pick a type of food and stick to it!! We had a large party of nine and the service was horrible. It took us over two hours to order our food and actually finish!! The waitress came over initially with the help of another, but we never saw the other one after that. One of the people in our party asked for something he saw on their menu online and she came back three times telling him each time that those were not on the regular menu. I never saw a drink menu, and had to ask for the wine list. Luckily I spotted someone drinking a certain beer from across the room. When she brought my beer she was holding the cold glass under her arm so needless to say it wasn't cold anymore, or clean...I think I'll pass on the glass. The food, even though it took forever to get, was really good though. Everyone at our table ordered something different and everyone was pleased. I got a spicy tuna roll and a California roll. I was pleasantly surprised. The decor of the building is just off though. From the outside it is a beautiful building with a great patio that lures people in. Inside was another story though. It was dirty looking and very outdated. When we walked in there were painting supplies on top of the coat rack which leads me to believe they might be trying to improve the inside, but seriously, you can't even hide your home improvement supplies?!?! I don't think I'll be going back any time soon.

Decent but could improve restaurant. I was skeptic cuz we were nearly the only ones in the restaurant on a Monday night, then again it's Johnstown. Our food was good but not amazing. I had a seaweed salad to start and the bulgogi for an entree. Good spice but not the best I've had. Service was ok, we had a new waiter. Decor is clearly what the previous restaurant was - Italian. This restaurant was just ok. I wouldn't go back because nothing was wowed me.

I've been to Japan twice and I'm a big sushi fan. Nyko's has the BEST sushi bar in town. I would definitely recommend it to sushi lovers. And to those who said Nyko's isn't good, hahaha maybe think about leave Johnstown and go see the rest of the world??

The minute I walked in the joint, bump bump, I could tell you were a restaurant of distinction and I'm a real big spender, Hey big spender... ( break, pick up chorus ) sashimi and sushi over to ooo... my bar... ( Snap fingers while you do this and act slick. ) And so I did! Nice fish, so fresh, bright and as I watched the rolls being made by Kay Lee my mouth cried for wasabi and pickled ginger. I watched her make awesome rolls, make gorgeous full petal rose buds of pickled ginger and explain some of it to me, as the three others in my party were being seated. I picked up a sheet and pencil from the sushi and sashimi bar and joined the others. Well, I guess you could say I went a little crazy, my Mom always said I had champagne taste with a beer pocket book. I ordered a 4 Four Corner's Roll with shrimp tempura, crab, cucumber, masago, unagi and served with a spicy sauce, a Boston Roll with shrimp, lettuce, avocado and mayo, a Pacific Roll with shrimp, crab, avocado, cream cheese, lettuce, eel and a spicy sauce, a Philadelphia Roll with salmon, cream cheese and avocado, a Shrimp Tempura Roll, a Spider Roll with deep fried soft shell crab and avocado. Yes I did! Not only did I order all of this as a starter for the four of us to pick up, plunge into the sauces and then plop in our mouths, look at each other like of my gosh is this wonderful or what, but I also ordered the lobster salad topped with roe. The lobster salad was delectable and laced with just the right amount of heat. The owner of the restaurant donned his chef's hat as he came out to help make our astronomical sushi plates. One other ordered the Flowering Onion for us to share and it was huge and very tasty. Needless to say we were pretty well feeling stuffed after finishing our crab bisque and New England clam chowder. The soups were good, but not the best. The sushi was incredible. They make their own shrimp egg rolls, these were large, crunchy and had a nice amount of shrimp, the flavor was okay, I have had better. The menu is fairly diversified, our entrees were large portions and all came with plentiful sides. The crispy skinned duck breast was tender and full of flavor with no grease, it was served with a roasted parsnip puree and caramelized fall vegetables, outstanding, all of it! The NY Strip was ordered MR and came out a bit more done than that, but the flavor was there. Too many other wonderful choices on the menu to order a strip steak, in my opinion, I save steaks for a good steak house. The other two entrees were a seafood newburg served over rice which had huge chunks of lobster tail, large sweet and tender scallops and whole shrimps topped with asiago cheese, very good indeed, the seafood was very generous in portions but the sauce could have used a bit more sherry. I had the chicken cordon bleu served with a warm potato salad and roasted vegetables. I loved the way the crunchy outside breast was coated in panko crumbs and the inside was so tender and gooey. I have not had this dish in ages and I was thrilled and very impressed. The breast was sliced so that it could be filled with the ham and cheese and then rolled. I really loved this dish, it was perfection. As we were leaving the owner brought out his beautiful baby girl who was waving to us as he was thanking us for coming in. Very hospitable staff, very warm and welcoming feeling to Nyko's. I am torn between four or five stars, but since I can not wait to go back and try more and it was an awesome dining experience, I am going for the gold, this time around 4.5 stars. For the local folks who knew this as Lombardo's and miss them dearly, check out Nyko's you will be very pleased with this latest addition to the Johnstown restaurant scene. Harrigan's, I love you but you now have competition with this new game in town. The best place in town for sushi and sashimi, no kidding! If you walk out of here hungry, then it is your own fault!

Completely disjointed restaurant. The servers wear diner-bowling-shirt style uniforms, in a 70s Italian decor, serving Italian and Japanese food. Not only is the decor outdated, but we had to push everything to one corner of the table to reduce the wobbling. The menu features a tacky note stating that to avoid waste, bread service is by request only. Naturally when you get through the feelings of gluttony for wanting bread with your meal and request it, you will not receive it. The pasta was okay but had way too much sauce; my partner's sushi got his stamp of approval. I'd try it again but I can never figure out when they're open when I drive by, since they don't have the hours posted on the front doors.

I am a huge fan of Sushi, unfortunately in Johnstown it is very limited. Although the identinty of the restaurant is confusing between Japanese and Italian they kick Fuji Japanese sushi hands down. Loving the updates, the floors and new tables look great. Maybe without the Italian paintings on the wall will make for a more elegant dining experience. Staff is always great, just wish our small town was more into sushi so they could expand the menu!

We lived in Johnstown for several years, and followed these nice folks from their sushi place / bar - Four Corners, to their new location when they renamed the place NyKo's. I can honestly say that it was a lot of fun watching them open up the place and work hard to make a diverse menu that would appeal to a broad range of customers. First - we always loved the sushi. For a restaurant a long way from the ocean, we always found our sushi to be fresh and flavorful, and the variety of items was really amazing. We would satisfy our need for sushi once a week, and soon became regulars here. Their regular menu was also quite good, and we loved the butternut squash soup, seafood Newburg, and their take on beef stroganoff. Whenever we ordered steak, it was perfectly cooked and served at the right temperature. Second - yes, the decor is a little 'different.' It didn't really bother us much - I was happy that they spent the money on quality ingredients and an outdoor deck than on changing the italian theme to the restaurant. The deck was a lot of fun to enjoy in the warm weather during the Summer months. Rest assured that we will definitely stop in and enjoy some of their fine food whenever we are in Johnstown!

This is a hit or miss type restaurant - some days great, other days not so great. Getting fresh sushi depends upon what day you're there but that's to be expected in a restaurant that can't afford to fly their fresh fish in daily. The sushi chef isn't a sushi chef but a person that makes sushi, and sometimes the end results are good and other times not so good. The rest of the menu is an eclectic mix of casual American and Korean dishes which again, are a hit or miss affair. There doesn't seem to be a consistency of quality in their food. The service was very good when I was there, but the decor is just weird and doesn't seem to go with the whatever the theme of the restaurant is and maybe that's the issue. The restaurant doesn't seem to have a theme.
