Noma Sushi

My friend recommended this place to me and their menu is very large! I got their bento box for dinner and it was just perfect and so much food! Service was great! Very attentive and informative. Parking is however limited, they have a shared lot that is rather small. You can also find parking on the street with the meters. I will definitely be coming back for lunch!

Best sushi in the area!! Creamy spicy tuna crispy rice is the best & I love the fantasy roll.

We've been coming here for years. It's my wife's favorite spot for Japanese food in Santa Monica. Sadly, something has changed. We ordered 2 3-piece bento boxes and had some green tea. The lunch price for this was almost $70.00. Overall, the seasonings were diluted. My wife had black cod with miso and the flavor was so slight, bland really. I had tempura with vegetables (one shrimp) and the sauce was so watery I had to add soy sauce to it. Also had the chicken cutlet which was badly overcooked. I couldn't eat it and mentioned it to my server. They asked if I wanted them to make it again and I declined. I just wanted it deleted from my check. My wife heard management talking in Korean about it. They said it would "be better for us to remake it". So after I declined that, the item was not removed from my check. We just paid with no further comments and will not be coming back. Bottom line is it feels like they're cutting corners, raising price, and the food is suffering. Sad to see.

Traditional ambience and a menu with lots to select. Sushi purists should give special attention to the specials on the board behind the sushi bar.

Such delicious food at reasonable prices. The ambiance is also very aesthetic and the service was attentive throughout.

They made my wife stand outside in a cold wind while preparing a to go order. She even offered to order a glass of wine so she could be inside. They told her to get outside. The restaurant was almost empty at the time. Very unfriendly.
