Nanban Reviews
My first visit, and it did not disappoint! Great food and great service. Thank you for your suggestions and kindness Mackenzie!
Came here with my husband and 4 kids for lunch on my birthday- it’s a small place but the server was very welcoming and accommodating. My kids LOVED the pork ramen, beef empanadas, and pork bao. My husband and I both loved the special noodles with pork belly. So good and my kids can’t wait for The Parlor to open for some chicks feet! 😆😅

Nanban is a unique and delicious restaurant that serves out-of-the-box fusion food. The menu offers a wide range of options, including ramen and bao buns. The ramen is a standout, with flavorful broths and tender pork belly. Customers have praised the Spicy Miso Ramen for its great seasoning and the delicious broth. The bao buns are also a highlight, featuring soft and crispy bread with generous portions of succulent pork belly. Recently, the gochujang fried chicken with biscuits has gained popularity; the chicken is crispy on the outside and served with a tangy sauce that has a slight kick. Many have enjoyed the chicken nuggets, which can also be included in the ramen. The biscuits are warm and soft, accompanied by delicious Sapporo miso butter. The Brazilian limeade is refreshing and not too sweet. The sweet tea with lemongrass has also been called amazing. The service is quick but can be slow at times due to limited staff, and ordering is done at the counter, which some find less convenient. The interior is cozy, though it has a takeout vibe, with limited seating. Despite some challenges, the food at Nanban is excellent, making it a great option for a cheap and tasty meal. It is a gem in Lawrenceville, combining Asian soul food with fusion flavors that many customers highly recommend.
