Niu Japanese Fusion Lounge

Niu Japanese Fusion Lounge Located next to AMC River East 21 Theatres in Streeterville, serving Sushi and Pan-Asian, $12 AMC Garage Validated Parking Available (Valid for 12 Hours)
(1111)

Opened in August 2007, this spacious pan-Asian eatery in the River East neighborhood combines original design with a rare sense of humor and adventure. Niu's fluid, sexy, casually luxurious dining room can accommodate up to 225 guests, so large parties are definitely welcome. An added attraction is the sleek lounge area complete with a spectacular "must-see" chandelierhich proves to be popular with diners who also fancy an ultimate people-watching scene facing the busy Illinois Street main drag. 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.

Dinner gets interesting the second the menu starts crossing borders.

At Niu, sushi meets Japanese, Thai, Korean, and Chinese influences, so every course feels like a little surprise. Start with spicy garlic edamame, move into a fusion maki with a name you’ll remember, then finish with a pan-Asian dish that keeps the table talking.

That’s how you turn dinner into a memorable choice, not just a meal.

A group meal feels easy when the menu gives everyone a choice.

Built for flavor, not just size?

That’s the difference you taste in a great fusion roll. The first clue is balance. Freshness up front, a clean finish, and nothing that feels heavy just for the sake of looking big.

When the flavor lingers after the last bite, you know the roll was made to impress your palate.
