Reviews for Niu Japanese Fusion Lounge in Chicago, IL
I think this is one of the best meals I've had! The servers were attentive but allowed me to enjoy my food without interruption.... The atmosphere was relaxed and moody. The menu provided gluten free options and they even had gluten free soy sauce. Read more
Phenomenal food, beautiful ambience, and one of the best service I've ever received from a restaurant. It was busy and packed.... But we got our food quickly and the server always seemed to come at the right time. Couldn't ask for a better dinner. Read more
My server Sophia was amazingly attentive and provided excellent service. The atmosphere is very cool and welcoming. The food is... amazing. The ramen is full of flavor and the Tom yum soup will make you sweat, so incredibly delicious. Read more
It was fine. Not the best but not the worst. Sushi was good. They didn’t have a few of the menu items available - not sure why... — but the menu is large enough for you to be able to find something else. Read more
Came in rather late in the evening after a botched reservation on the pier. Was a bit turned off by the fusion element in the... name but must admit, we were truly surprised. Our server was nice and efficient, didn't try to oversell anything or work us.Ordered two shrimp dumplings, crab rangoon, and several pieces of nigiri. Everything was absolutely amazing and fresh, withdepths of flavor. Ambience and atmosphere was nice: dark and brooding and was almost like being in Tokyo. Highly recommendespecially for those from out of town looking to impress clients. Read more
Service: Menu is straightforward and easy to order from. Waiter was very Attentive and helpful in making accommodations to our... halal diet Food: Ordered : Lotus Bowl, 2 Sushi Rolls, and Two ramen bowls. Our total was around $96, it is a bit pricy comingfrom Michigan for me but it’s in Chicago downtown so I get it. I also got a green tea ice cream-don’t recommend it unlessyou like the rusty feeling of green tea. Highlight for me: The restaurants vibe and Ramen. My two favourite things is theactual seating at the restaurant because it felt like a really upscale but chill at the same time. The ramen was also deliciousand definitely felt like I was eating bougie ramen. It is great for cold days with the soup basses that it comes in. Read more
Second time at Niu Lounge and I am impressed! Centrally located in River north it’s a great place to come for dinner and movie... with the AMC right next door. The food is great — I enjoyed two sushi rolls with a noodle dish that was unlike anything I’vehad before. Packed with so much flavor and perfect combination of savory/sweet. We sat at the bar and was serviced by Michaelwho gave great recommendations that added to our experience. Great food, good drinks, and great customer service. Therestaurant is consistently busy so make a reservation if you can and if you are trying to social distance here you won’t beable to. Read more
Niu is one of our favorite places for sushi. The ingredients are fresh and prepared perfectly. The crispy shrimp appetizer is... phenomenal. Sushi rolls from left to right are the spicy cowboy, dragon and over the rainbow. Dragon was our favorite. Finishedup with the caramel vanilla crunch cake- must love caramel to enjoy! I hope this review is useful. Read more
