Great casual seafood lunch spot , with plenty of locals grabbing lunch here too. There's a bar for drinks, and decent tables with a view of the port . Pan seared ahi was delish ????

melissa sutton

Ample parking in the nearby lot, free of charge. The Fish & chips is awesome, the seafood pasta was ok but the sauce was very thin, the local plate lunch was great! DO try the deserts they are amazing

Austin Teter

Amazing seafood , awesome outdoor seating , great drinks, fast service , friendly staff . The freshest of fish , it's located in the same building as the actual market . Seared Ahi Tuna Steak is superb!

Adrienne M

Sit at the bar . Order food & drink there. Enjoy the 5-star service from Allegra, as well as the incredible ahi . Try to forget how much waste you're creating as you eat out of takeout containers.

Kate Boyko

Really good seafood ! Green peppercorn swordfish was one of the best fish dishes I tried on Oahu! Bouillabaisse was also quite good - quite a lot of fish and mussels in it!

Patrick Hughes

First timer from a recommendation. Quote "get the Loco Moko, and substitute with fried rice " great choice!! Nice place for breakfast and watching the boats in the morning.

If you like shrimps , don't miss garlic pesto shrimps .. Thumbs up .. If you are into fish checkout furikake pan seared ahi cooked to perfection

Dylan D

Delicious fresh fish ! Keep an eye out for the special of the day (My kukui nut crusted ahi was amazing). Also, their chocolate chip and peanut butter Reese's cup cookies may make you cry with joy.

The ahi is definitely a signature, but their bouillabaisse is amazing as well ! I normally don't like bouillabaisse but it was definitely worth the risk this time! So good!

This place really fills up. Go before 11:30 for best chance at finding an open table. I love the Furikake Ahi and the Deep Fried Ahi Belly and usually the catch of the day.

Daisy Zook

Garlic pesto shrimp is ok. The blackened fish 'which is better. Really tasty. Highly recommend this. The Hoisin BBQ chicken is good too. Lots of chicken at a great price

Jenny Ching

Ahi tuna salad or burger (get the burger on a soft bun ). Service is super fast even though it was busy!

ISC Chicago

Herb Dijon Salmon Salad (Roasted herb Dijon salmon , crispy sun-chokes, red onions , tomatoes , mixed greens, with a ravigote dressing )

Kaitlin

Very fresh seafood , and great daily specials . I got the seared ahi in a crab sauce and it was wonderful - huge filet of ahi , too!

Luis Manalo

Despite what the menu says, they serve the pan seared ahi with sides. Mine came with string beans , carrots , and a choice of white or brown rice . And yes, it was delicious!

Nicole Barrows

Loved the fish chowder in the bread bowl ! The plate lunches are also phenomenal! I highly recommend Nico's if you're in the area.

Lynette Eugenio

Breakfast , lunch or dinner - the fish is always fresh. There's live music on the weekends so it's a great spot for a casual night out.

Mia Ferrer

The ahi poke is fresh and delicious. The steamed clams dish is amazing. And the fish and chips is perfect. Lightly battered and moist.

Alexis Reeves

Excellent fresh fish . I love the fried ahi tuna belly . You have to get there early for lunch since I think much of the active duty personnel also eat there too!

Yolanda Reed

Fish and Chips is ???? delicious! In the fish market pick up some of the Spicy Crab Poke to take home! You'll ???? Love it!

Zenji 善次 Takahashi 高橋

The seared ahi all the way. Sorry, I forgot to take a picture. Awesome service, awesome food, awesome ambience. Sit by the window. Best place to sit.

Amy Favor

fish n chips was yummy! make sure to get extra sauce if you like tarter sauce. they only give a small cup.

Juliana Chaize

On your way to the airport ? Stop by for an airplane plate, sauces/dressing on the side and cooked one temp less for travel. Dig in on the plane and be the envy of your seat mates!

Charlie Penaflor

Go to POP Fishing and Marine right next door. They sell Nico apparel for kids and adults @ 20% off retail . I love Nico's to death! Ahi/Ono...killer! Their secret: freshness, preparation, and sauce!

Koa Robinson

If you don't like going to Nico's for lunch because it's too crowded , try going for breakfast . The fish & eggs and fish omelette are both super good, and their loco mocos are the best I've ever had...

HONOLULU Magazine

The new Nico's is bigger and better! We recommend the poisson cru, a Tahitian version of poke marinated in lime juice and coconut milk . It's so ono! -Dining, April 2012

Radley K.

Try the chocolate-chip cookies . Don't be fooled by their huge size; they're the perfect texture with lots of decadent chips and chunks of chocolate .

Gary Damaschi

Everything is great. Only non recommend is the burger , font like all the extras in it. Just want beef .

Meg Farmer

We stopped for lunch after visiting Pearl Harbor and we're not disappointed. Ahi tuna was a top choice.

Pocho Nieves

Pretty kick back chilled atmosphere. Nice live music with option of patio for dining. Will come back for sure!

David Zhang

Great appetizers , huge portions too. skip the entrees.

Marco M

I will recommend you to taste the swordfish which is globally ok. You should come for a Friday lunch to benefit from a live concert .

Juliana Chaize

Try breakfast for a change. Great made to order fried rice and the fish and eggs is awesome!!

Barry Ryskamp

Great fish special of the day. Try a Poke bowl from the market in the same building.

Raymond Peck

Good selection and solid cooked fish but I honestly prefer a lot of local poke places over Nico's.

Debora Driscoll

perfect early dinner to wait out traffic. bouillabaisse was delicious & the view & company were excellent!!

L.A. Grabon

so far...everything; done both lunch & dinner visiting the kids. Would like to go back again...

Garry

Poke , swordfish , seared Ahi all delicious

Garry Tan

Poke bowls from the fish market were epic and great fresh selection.

Jim Goudreau

Poke . All the fish was so fresh, seasoned nicely and cooked to perfection.

Bora ŞAHİNOĞLU

Well it is kind of fast food place with some seafood choices ... more than average. I guess people are attracted by the affordability ...

Clay Chastain

By far the best fish and chips I've ever had. I love their pizzas too.

Juliana Chaize

Is there a big line for lunch ? Step off and head over to the bar , sit and be served. Enjoy the view and let Shelly take care of you.

Larry Schena

Great food. Happy hour is a great deal. Tuna was awesome.

Badette Marcaida-Tiburcio

Furikake Ahi is a must! For dessert , get the passion mango cheesecake !

Pete Mitchell

Cheap Happy Hour , low key , and relax environment . Great food, reasonably priced!

Alice Daer
