Juban is a true hidden gem! The food is fantastic, the vibe is welcoming, cool, and a little quirky. The Piccolo’s Punch cocktail is a must for spicy margarita lovers, and I wouldn’t miss the tempura cauliflower or the pork belly and kimchi. They are also great at finding the best sake for you (the sake menu is color coded, and the staff is super knowledgable). Perfect for a date night or going with a few friends so you can order more to share!

Some dishes were amazing: the scallop roll, the spinach, the skewers and the octopus, but the udon special was too mushy and the shumai too fatty. Nice service and atmosphere. Very local! Will be back.

Juban is a Gem hidden in the concrete Jungle! My go to place for all business dinners, and celebrations with friends! Plus: the best experience is dining at the bar! Always meeting the most interesting people from around the world! Ps. Trust me! Ignore the 1stars, they most likely are bots! I’m not sure how anyone could have an awful time here! Trust the 5 star reviews!

We were casually strolling through the streets of NYC and stumbled upon Juban, and it turned out to be one of the best dining experiences we’ve had. From the moment we walked in, the entire staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The owner was especially warm and took the time to answer all our questions, sharing insights that made the experience even more special.

The ambience is fantastic cozy, inviting, and thoughtfully designed. Their sake selection is excellent, and every dish we tried was absolutely outstanding. The food was truly unforgettable.

Overall, Juban is a must-try in NYC. An unexpected find that turned into a memorable experience—we can’t wait to come back!

The value just isn’t there. For the price, you’d expect better quality and more portions. I’d skip this one, especially you or your hungry man has big appetite.

Cocktail doesn’t look well made based on other review photos so we decide to get beer instead.

I will try not to be biased as it’s the first time I encounter a business that shares my name, but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. Very intimate restaurant serving mostly smaller portions. I was a big fan of the sushi and skewers. The sushi was fresh and definitely higher quality. Many things are made in house. My wife liked the homemade Matcha cake. Service was top notch.

My fiancé and I are always looking for pockets of home (Hawaii) wherever we are, and we’re grateful to have found Juban in New York City. Not only is the food authentic and delicious (yakitori and sushi are to die for!) but the atmosphere is welcoming and cozy and the staff is like family to us. The sake selection is also on point! If you can, stop by for a drink, some skewers and the vibes.

It’s a very intimate space for dinner and the cocktails are worth the price. The yakitori was alright, the meatballs are dry not very juicy like other places I tried. Mushrooms are burnt… The appetizers are great! Recommend the octopus Kara age as well as the eggplant!

Loved the atmosphere! I went to Juban solo and sat at the bar for a drink and some sushi. The bartender was really helpful and even tailored a cocktail for me based on my preferences. The sushi was also delicious, tasted fresh and the decor is really fun. Will def be coming back!

This place is cool, it’s a nice interior, cool art with comfortable seating. The waiters were also stylish. The food was good, but honestly it was a giant ripoff. My friend and I had 2 carafes of sake, the cauliflower, hamachi (?) collar and the crab friend rice. This was $200 in total. The portions were small, I definitely had to eat again later. The collar was good quality probably but it was just unseasoned cooked fish. Cauliflower was kind of cheap tasting? Fried thing and mayo, I don’t know that it exceeded my experience of chicken nuggets and mayo at home. Rice was the highlight, but honestly, it wasn’t mind-blowing. It was a nice, even umami. So, yeah I wouldn’t come back here at this price point. It just doesn’t make sense.
