Niyu

This place is legit! I found Niyu while in the mood for ordering in some Asian food. I was pleasantly surprised to find such a highly rated Asian place in J P Nagar so I wanted to try it out for myself. They call it Asian inspired cuisine, but I don’t know— it seemed pretty authentic to me.

First off, I would like to point out that the servings were so generous and it was worth the price. For 6 items between 2 people who skipped breakfast, it came up to roughly ₹1300. The dishes were packed so well and even came with snapping wooden chopsticks. I told you—this place is legit.

We ordered the chicken gyozas and chicken bao as appetisers and it was freaking delicious. The steamed and lightly seared baos were of the closed variety and felt like fluffy clouds when I bit into them. As you can see in the image, they were generously filled as well. Gyozas were just as good. I say this because I wasn’t allowed to take even a bite from the person who ordered it.

For the main course, we each had a bowl of chicken ramen. The dish came in 2 containers- one for the broth and one with the noodles and accompaniments. This was a smart move by the restaurant considering there would be a significant time period from kitchen to table. The handmade noodles, teriyaki chicken and bright, fresh vegetables were so inviting on its own but the real star of the dish was the broth; I could’ve had it all on its own. I was down with a cold when I had this but this cured my runny nose with just the right amount of spiciness and umami (I know, they got both those flavours together and it’s amazing!) I wouldn’t be surprised if it also gave me clear skin. My only complaint was that the egg was too hard boiled; it could’ve been slightly soft. But it doesn’t really break the dish so I won’t deduct anything because of that. The bowl was huge and I couldn’t finish it in one sitting. But again that’s me, I have a relatively small stomach.

Of course, we couldn’t skip dessert. We ordered the apple pie and caramel custard. The restaurant recommends heating the pie in the microwave before you have it to enjoy it at its finest. Again, I can’t comment on the Apple Pie but the person who had it gave it 5 stars. On the other hand, I could have the Caramel Custard and let me tell you, it is bloody good! A lot of places mess it up and it comes out grainy but this was smooth and delicious. It had the right amount of everything and I would order it over and over again. They serve it with some whipped cream which is quite unusual. I personally did not like the whipped cream part of it but I could easily remove it and enjoy just the caramel custard so it was no bother.

Miyu checks all the boxes in what I look for in an Asian restaurant, delivery or otherwise and I would highly recommend it to everyone looking to order in or dine out there. I would definitely go back to Miyu for a comforting and flavourful experience anytime.

Ramen bowls is a highly popular dish from Japan, it's nothing but a Japanese noodle soup assorted with exotic veggies, meat & broth.

I ordered chicken ramen bowl & teriyaki chicken bowl where in as promised, the noodles were hand made fresh to order served with grilled meat, boiled eggs, exotic veggies & sesame chicken broth.

The quality is amazingly good with all the WHO procedures followed & the portion size is not so sufficient for one person & needs improvement for portion size.

I definitely recommend everyone to go give it a try as it's something different from the usual noodles we know & the taste is quite authentic & reminds you of being in Japan.
