“Sushi was phenomenal! Ramen very good. Vibes and service were great. Would recommend!!”

“Niu B was a great find just around the corner and definitely worth the short walk. The restaurant has a chill, laid back atmosphere that feels comfortable and welcoming without trying too hard. It is the kind of place where you can relax and enjoy a good meal without any fuss. The service was quick and efficient, and the food was right on point. Everything we ordered was flavorful and satisfying, especially considering the reasonable prices for the area. Between the relaxed vibe, solid food, and fast service, Niu B offers a great overall experience. I would definitely return and recommend it to anyone looking for a casual spot with good food and fair prices.”

“If you like fresh delicious sushi definitely give this place a try. Whenever I'm in the area I must stop here. Everything I've tried is so fresh and delicious.”

“Went in with some friends and tasted a few different things. Each item was at least good, some great! My fiance said it was the best sushi she's ever had. We loved it so much that when we walked by today we decided to take advantage of their lunch bento box special, which is definitely worth the price!”

“Food was so delicious and it came out very quick as my kids were so impatient, there was no wait time to get a table for 5 on a weekend. Its great spot to have quick bites for lunch or full on dinner on occasion. Waiting staff can improve a little by asking if we needed forks or napkins - they were talking between themselves so loud hence we couldn’t get a fork fast enough (my kids don’t eat w chopsticks) otherwise everything was good”

“We came back to NiuB every time we were in Chicago! One of our favorite Asian fusion places in town.”

“Super fresh ingredients, great service, and a prime location. This is an awesome spot to stop for a Japanese treat. Our table got a wide variety of types of dishes, and everyone was very satisfied with their choice. Highly recommend stopping here if in the area, it’s the perfect post Field-museum lunch.”

“Ramen and dessert were good. The space has good music and nice lights.”

“Stopped in for a late lunch on a Friday. Ordered the Bento Box lunch special and it was plenty of food. The spicy garlic ramen was flavorful. The spicy tuna roll was enjoyed by everyone at the table.”
