| - Just tried Niyo a few nights ago & was pleasantly surprised. The previous resident, "Niyoshi," wasn't very palatable, and we didn't have high expectations for this reincarnation. Going thru the whole "what-do-you-want / I-don't-know-what-do-you-want" thing, we both agreed that we didn't want anything greasy. That same day Niyo's menu was placed in our mail box. Perfect timing. So around 8:30 PM on a weekday evening we called in our carryout order: 1 chicken+steak combo and 1 chicken+shrimp combo (only $9.25 each). Upon hearing the "ten minutes" closing, we kinda thought this may be money wasted.
Once home we began to dig in & were both pleasantly surprised with just how tasty our meals were. And plentiful. Having only eaten here once, I can't attest to whether or not this is typical, but they certainly didn't skimp on anything, which, for just under $10, was unexpected.
Each combo came with the standard rice and sweet carrots, and a side salad (see photos). Not sure if they have dressing options other than ginger since it was automatically included & weren't asked if we would like anything different (the other half doesn't like ginger & prefers Ranch).
If you'd rather have than noodles than rice, you can substitute those for $1 extra. They also have a nice selection of sides, which are all reasonably priced. I didn't go in, but the other half said the employees were pretty friendly; not overly-so, but in no way rude or indifferent.
Our total came to around $26. Not bad for two 2-item entrée's ($9.25 ea), two side orders of rice ($1.49 ea) and two side orders of broccoli ($1.79 ea). We'll certainly be giving them another try! :)
