Nikko's Burgers — Restaurant in Riverside

Nikko’s Burger off Magnolia in Riverside is one of those dependable places that never disappoints. It actually reminds me a lot of another favorite of mine—Apollo Burger in Garden Grove. The burgers at Nikko’s taste almost identical, and they share a lot of similar items on the menu. If you like classic, no-nonsense burger joints, this place is for you.

When I’m looking to switch it up from In-N-Out or just want something quick without the long lines, Nikko’s is my go-to. They’ve got plenty of seating inside, the food comes out fast, and the customer service is always solid.

About 90% of the time, I stick with the Bacon Cheeseburger special—it comes with fries and a drink and totally satisfies that burger craving. Occasionally I’ll change it up and get the zucchini fries, which are super crispy and tasty. I like to pair the fries or zucchini with a side of ranch (they charge 25 cents for a small container), and it just completes the meal.

All in all, Nikko’s is a great local spot whether you’re in a hurry or just want a good, comforting burger without the wait. Highly recommend if you're...

(New review: March 2, 2025) This place used to be an absolute staple, but now I avoid this place at all costs. The quality of the food deterioted slightly; it's still good, but it's nowhere as amazing as it used to be. The prices, however, are ridiculous. When I wrote my first review, it was a perfect 10 across the board: inexpensive but tasty, quality food. I could order a lot and not break the bank. My most recent trip, however, was a sandwich and fries for nearly $16.. the drink wasn't even included. The quality of the food was not worth the price tag. It's a shame. I used to come here weekly. But now I come here once every 4 months when it's convenient for me to stop by on my way home.

(Original review: 5/5 circa 2018) I'm only speaking about their breakfast and their burgers: Their burgers are in the top 5 of Riverside's finest burgers. They are huge and so delicious. Their breakfast is amazing because the prices are so low while the quality is high! Anyone who is anyone in Riverside knows that Nikko's is the hidden gem...

New in California and Riverside. Seen this bad boy pop up on Google for good burgers had to try it. Walked in, super cool vibe, asked a random guy what I should get, get the avocado bacon chee, so of course I’m going to try my new homie since he said the answer extremely fast. (Later find out it was the owner). Pretty cool he’s at his spot normally.

Service was awesome, Javier and the crew were awesome. Burgers were amazing, loads of fries, normally I hate paying for ranch, but it’s def homemade and worth the quarter, trust.

All in all super cool, took care of me and everyone was cleaning. Will be back, I live 5 minutes away, pray for me yall, how am I gonna drive past this place knowing...
