Nichinan Reviews
Everything we had was delicious. Perfect temperature. Perfect balance of flavors and textures. We highly recommend everything we ordered: the okonomiyaki, ramen, fried rice, and taiyaki! Also friendly fast service.
Delicious food, artistic place, and fancy
This is a hidden gem in The Thatcher Hotel. The hostess was warm and welcoming as was the eclectic decor. All the dishes were unique and the flavor pairings were intentional. The pork belly hirata buns were a huge hit at our table. The Taiyaki dessert was my favorite. Thank you Nichinan for a fun,new dining experience in Portsmouth.

Nichinan offers a delightful dining experience with a variety of dishes to share and enjoy. The menu includes tempting options like the Suntory Sour drink, kaarage, and okonomiyaki, which is a rare find outside of Japan. The Nichinan roll is also a standout. The restaurant has a clean, well-designed, and cozy atmosphere, making it perfect for a date or a night out with friends. The service is excellent, with friendly and attentive staff who are knowledgeable about the menu and eager to make recommendations. Many dishes are generous in portion size and worth the price for their quality. The menu features favorites like the Miso Eggplant, Spicy Crab Fried Rice, chicken nanban, crab fried rice, and various small plates. The roasted oysters and toro sashimi are highly praised, and the atmosphere remains elegant and cozy. While some items like the SAKE roll are considered okay, others are better, and desserts like purin are tasty, though trying different options is advised. Overall, Nichinan is a great choice for a memorable meal in a beautiful setting.
