" I adore the laid-back atmosphere at Niban. It’s the perfect environment for a casual meal. Their sushi rolls are great, and I really like the quality of their fish. I'd recommend the tempura udon as well. The prices are quite reasonable for the quality and portions. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love the vibe at Niban! It's very casual, which suits my laid-back style. The food is good too, nothing out of the ordinary, but definitely consistent in taste. I usually go for the same items but I did a sushi roll this time which was satisfying. Although it might get busy, I always find a place. " (*Curated Review*)

" Niban has a special charm that makes it feel welcoming. I enjoy the range of dishes they offer, but I find certain meals to be hit or miss sometimes. I’ve ordered the fried calamari, which was delicious, though. More often than not, the food has been delightful. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was a bit skeptical at first, but Niban exceeded my expectations! The garlic edamame was a nice starter, and the sushi rolls were packed with fresh ingredients. The ambience was casual and inviting, perfect for a night out. I will definitely be returning to explore more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have visited Niban on several occasions. The bento deals for lunch are a steal! I appreciate how responsive the staff are when it comes to allergy concerns. My favorite has to be their chicken katsu curry, which brings back memories of my time in Japan! " (*Curated Review*)

" This little gem truly captures the heart of Japanese cuisine! The bento boxes are overflowing with deliciousness and offer a diverse range of flavors. The staff are super friendly and make sure your experience is enjoyable from start to finish. I highly recommend the tempura shrimp roll; it was crispy and puts you in the right mood. Time spent here is never wasted! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely incredible experience! I celebrated my birthday here, and the staff made it special. The sushi was fresh, and my friends loved the bento boxes. There is something here for everyone, and the prices are reasonable. Great place for gatherings! " (*Curated Review*)
