    Quality food and great service at reasonable prices. Izakaya Nonbei is a true neighborhood gem. They could easily charge 50% given the quality of their food.

    Thoroughly enjoyable experience! It had been a couple years since my last visit and I wanted to bring colleagues from the mainland to experience a personal favorite place to dine. The food did not disappoint and the attentiveness and service was much more engaging and pleasant than my previous visits which was greatly appreciated. We’ll be back!

    It exceeded our expectations from tempura to yaki soba. Everything was fantastic. The California roll was a bit dry and lacking in flavor. The service was amazing. The staff was very welcoming and warm. It's definitely worth a return visit; I'm looking forward to it.

    Excellent food quality and selection options! Staff was very friendly from the moment we entered and gave great descriptions when we asked about some of the food that we were unfamiliar with. We will definitely be back!

    The food was excellent and amazingly prepared. The wait staff was very polite and allowed several tables besides ours to stay almost a hour hour past closing without any pressure to leave. Very cute place to eat. Only comment is very limited parking. Plan to park across the intersection at safe and make the very short walk back over.

    We had a 5:00 pm reservation and were the first ones there. Parking lot was empty which was good because it is a small lot. Service was great. Food was ʻono! Mushroom and Eggplant Dish (Nasu Kinoko) had a very tasty sauce. We also had the Miso Butterfish, Crab Salad, Geso Karaage, Rainbow Roll and Assorted Tempura. Everything was great.
