" Good food overall at NIKUMAN-YA. The bao I had was tasty but could have used a bit more filling. The market ambiance is very lively and makes for a great casual dining experience. The staff were friendly, albeit a bit slow due to how busy it gets. Regardless, I’d say the food is worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" A simple eatery with amazing food! NIKUMAN-YA offers all the variety lovers crave. I tried the pork bun and fell in love — it was juicy and flavorful. I enjoyed it with some friends, and we even shared a couple of different baos, and they were all great! The atmosphere is casual and the food is fresh. Perfect for a satisfying meal without the formality of a sit-down restaurant. I will definitely return to taste more from this wonderfully authentic menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" NIKUMAN-YA is a gem hidden inside the Tokyo Central Market. The bao buns are light and fluffy while still packed with flavor. I ordered a combination platter and had so many options to choose from. Each bite was an explosion of taste! I would suggest dining in if possible so you can enjoy the fresh out of the steamer experience. A little tip is to go during off-peak hours to avoid long lines. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. I will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had just a quick stop at NIKUMAN-YA but it left a lasting impression. The pork steam buns were delicious, though I expected a bit more in terms of portion size. It was busy when I visited, and while the staff was friendly, they were a bit overwhelmed. Still, the flavors were on point, so it was a positive experience overall. I’d recommend trying their cheesy bao for something different! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful spot NIKUMAN-YA is! The bao experience here is genuine and satisfying. I cannot recommend the cheese bao enough; it’s divine! I went on a Saturday afternoon and the place was buzzing with people. Though a bit cramped, the energy made it a unique dining experience. The staff was friendly and efficient despite the crowd. If you happen to be in the area, don’t miss this place! It’s a must-visit for bao enthusiasts. I’ll definitely be back for another round soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here on a whim and I’m so glad I did! The super cheesy bao is a showstopper. I took a seat in the food court area and enjoyed my meal while watching the market life. The prices are reasonable, and the portions are satisfying. The only downside was that it took a while to get my order during peak hours, but it was well worth the wait. Strongly suggest trying the gyoza as well, they pair perfectly with the buns! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love dim sum, and NIKUMAN-YA delivers. Their nikuman are some of the best I’ve had! It was pretty packed when I visited but the wait was worth it. I tried several types and was impressed with the quality. The environment is casual, perfect for grabbing a bite, but be prepared for a bit of noise. The only downside was that they ran out of my favorite spicy pork bao, but that just means I’ll have to go back soon! " (*Curated Review*)
