The staff were friendly and helpful, the food came quickly even though the place was busy and we all enjoyed everything the menu had to offer. There is really something on the menu for everybody- even people who don't like sushi.

I am a regular and I always have a great night here. It's the best authentic Japanese food in Bournemouth for sure. Service is very good, the owner and staff are warming and friendly and so the restaurant has a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere too. The Food and drink is not expensive, it's very good value for money and I am often surprised with the bill at the end of the night, especially since the food and quality of the food are so good. I would always recommend The Nippon Inn without a second thought.

Lovely place, really nice staff and price definitely affordable. Maybe a little choice of maki and nigiri rice was (this time but usually not) a little hard -cold. Sesame green tea and wasabi ice cream are really nice and do not taste “artificial “ . Noodles are gorgeous ❤️

Always excellent - we did need to get waiters attention a couple of times but better that than feel rushed. Everything delicious especially the salmon nigiri and pork katsu curry

I love Nippon Inn! Have been several times. The decor is fantastic, feels like you are somewhere else! The service is lovely, everyone has a smile and are super polite. The food comes within time and its fresh, with lovely flavours. The sushi rolls are amazing, Gyoza, katsu curry, teriyaki chicken!! ummmm... Great and the best its having a fantastic meal at a great price. Choose local business instead of corporative so called Japanese food, win-win situation and wont be dissapointed. Thanks Nippon Inn!

Food was delicious, service was prompt and bill was very good value for money! The yakitori and asparagus and bacon were to die for! Wish I'd gone for the wasabi ice cream after!

Great food and service! One of our favourite Bournemouth restaurants. Top tip, the chicken katsu is divine and is half the price of Wagamama's! And Asahi Dry on draught, what's not to like?

It was great, lovely food really good service just a bit "cool" with the door to the garden open, especially when people came in and out and the front door was open.

Very friendly and helpful staff - a waitress even sat with us at the end and taught us how to make the origami swans! Unfortunately, they didn't have gluten free soy sauce (despite having a gluten free menu) which would have made sushi rather bland.... we ended up going home to fetch our own!

Fantastic restaurant, with very high quality food. Can sometimes be a little wait for service as they can get very busy and often don't have many people working out front. Atmosphere is great and love going here every time! Great sushi!

Food was amazing So fresh and tasty Unfortunately the service let it down. We have been here many times before and always been happy. This time the girls were very scatty. Sometimes even disappearing completely which left us waiting a while before we could then call them to the table. Checks to see if we we're happy were not made. Food that wasn't ours kept turning up too?! Did look good though lol The food made up for it. Would still go back, however service needs improvement
