About Us

One of the reasons that people keep coming back to Niu is of course of the eclectic food and drink selections. Our inventive menu blends Japanese, Thai, and Chinese influences: little bites of modern Tokyo, Bangkok, and Shanghai, all blended in with the energy of Chicago. The menu offers a variety of sushi basics, but the real enticements are the one-of-a-kind "fusion makis" with such names as "Sexy Mexican," "White Angel," and "Diablo". For those sushiphobes, there is a fantastic selection of stir-fry and soup creations. Our bartender is also a pro at serving up specialty cocktails including Raspberry Mojiotos and Lychee Martinis.
