NIKULAND Opens in Melbourne — Redefining the Japanese BBQ Experience

In December 2024, NIKULAND officially opened its doors in Melbourne, introducing a new chapter of Japanese BBQ and teppanyaki dining under the Alleyway Group family.

Rooted in the energy and precision of Tokyo’s dining culture, NIKULAND reimagines the art of Japanese grilling — where smoky aromas, sizzling teppan, and premium Wagyu come together for a shared, hands-on experience. The brand takes pride in its specialty: 100% Wagyu Hikiniku Don and charcoal-grilled Wagyu Hamburg, crafted to highlight both texture and umami.

Beyond the food, NIKULAND embodies the warmth of omotenashi — Japan’s philosophy of genuine hospitality. Guests are invited to gather around the grill, connect through flavours, and experience the joy of cooking and eating together.

As part of Alleyway Group’s growing portfolio of innovative dining concepts, NIKULAND continues the mission to bring authentic yet contemporary Asian dining experiences to Australian tables. With its blend of craftsmanship, creativity, and comfort, NIKULAND stands as a celebration of Japanese culinary culture — modern, approachable, and full of soul.
