Fabulous meal experience at Juban. The food was delicious and flavorful - especially the udon special, the yakitori selection... (tsukune, shishito and oyster mushroom), the daikon katsu, and the sushi selection with homemade soy sauce! Excellent andattentive service and great ambiance too. Will certainly be back! Read more
My trips to NYC are incomplete without a meal here. The cocktails and sake selection are fantastic; the food is always on point.... I’ve probably tried every thing on the menu and enjoyed it all. I love the casual, easy vibe with - can come here on a datenight or a night out with friends. Best of all is the service. The manager is most polite, everyone friendly, I would be aregular and this would surely be “my spot” if I lived in in NYC. Read more
When I want to treat myself to a delicious sushi dinner Juban is my top choice. Sushi is fresh they have a wide selection of... sake and shochu. Along with delicious cocktails and mocktails. The entire team are super accommodating and go above and beyondwith my food allergies. I can't wait to come back to this neighborhood gem! Read more
quite literally the best sushi i've ever had. the fatty tuna (daily special) was incredible, & the "hot or not" shishito... peppers were a super fun appetizer. our server was very friendly & helpful as well. definitely pricey, but worth the experience Read more
i stumbled across this place during the snow storm and decided to give it a try. i ordered 2 of their special menu items (these... change so they may not have it available when you visit): shiitake mushroom soup with truffle oil, and a fatty tuna (chutoro)hand roll. i also ordered their saikoro steak and for dessert their matcha ice cream with tempura banana. shiitake mushroomsoup: the broth had a light but very distinct, nuanced shiitake flavor. the truffle is also very present and complements theshiitake very well. it was perfect given the weather. tuna hand roll: the fish was fresh and the roll was well crafted. i’musually not the biggest hand roll fan but i did like this one. saikoro steak: very light in flavor/seasoning with the emphasison the beef flavor. the dish was served on a hot stone plate. the meat was cooked to perfection and the quality of the meat wasdecent. i prefer a little more seasoning or perhaps even experimentation with the different flavors. this dish to me felt a bitlackluster and oversimplified. it also comes with brussel sprouts which were not cooked all the way through. tempurabanana/matcha ice cream: the ice cream had a rich matcha flavor that was light and not overbearing. i wasn’t a huge fan of thetempura banana as i just felt the texture of the crunch and the mushiness of the banana wasn’t working for me. as many havementioned the vibe is super cool and service was outstanding. prices are a bit on the higher end. but if you’ve been followingmy reviews, these factors are not a factor in my rating.

the service here is impeccable - the employee was so attentive and conversational! the kobe beef was so tender and delicious -... literally melted in my mouth oh wow. i loved the mentaiko mayo sauce that was tossed with the cauliflower! the mentaiko inaniwaudon was also great - the umami flavor was perfect! the octopus karaage had a bit of sake flavor which i was not expecting butit was a good surprise to have haha. my second favorite thing was the housemade hojicha ice cream that was served with friedbanana - ive had the hojicha ice cream from haagen daz in japan and i thought that was amazing but this. oh man. it blew my mind- if they sold pints of this, i would buy all of them. thank you juban for such a great dining experience and for greatcustomer service! i have my calendar marked to come back in a year food insta: @strwbrrryboba for more food recs :) Read more
Neighborhood gem! Excellent Japanese food, optimally eaten shared “family” or “tapas” style. Sake was delicious and... the service was EXCELLENT. And the food itself? One hit after another! My favorite was the Kimchi entree, but the Blue CrabFried Rice was a close second. Even the desserts were great, with the black sesame mousse being a surprisingly savory and light,yet delicious choice. So happy I finally came here and look forward to retuning soon! Read more
