    Got a reservation for two by luck because it was booked up until June. Overall, it was a beautiful and enjoyable experience. With just bar sitting, it feels exclusive and inviting at the same time. servers Lily and Penny were excellent and welcoming. Chef’s Ron and Chris served up tasty hand rolls and some laughs. The edamame hummus and seaweed salad as starters are a must. As for the hand rolls, all were delicious which we tried five deciding to do one of the sets. Although the cocktail menu was limited, the drinks they had were delicious (Hatcha Matcha being my favorite). I would recommend this place to anyone and I’m looking forward to returning in the future

    Such a wonderful experience, love how Noriko is tucked away, and hidden. The counter experience is intimate, perfect for date night. The chefs were super friendly and knowledgeable. The food quality was outstanding and amazing, every single bite was utterly scrumptious.

    The dinner felt a bit rushed and took away from our overall experience. The hand rolls were good but it felt like there was something missing from them.
