    Skewers
    Ted P.

    Nonono is a pretty solid spot to grab some skewers and small plates to share with a group! It's pretty spacious inside with two floors so they can accommodate larger groups and the staff were all super nice. For food, I tried the eggplant, salmon salad, and a variety of skewers. I really recommend the eggplant as it has a super creamy texture with a ton of flavor and a bit of crunchiness from the nuts they put on top of it! The skewers were also really good with the eel being my favorite. The salmon salad portion size was a bit small and the dressing was a bit overpowering. They have a pretty large menu so i'll definitely stop by again in the future to try some other dishes!

    Wow! This makes you feel like you've been transported straight to Tyoko! The place is roomy, homey, and beautiful. They have spots to sit that are traditional and quaint. The restrooms are beautiful and small! The food was all so well cooked and delicious. You can order small portions of food like 4 pieces of Shiitake ($4 for four) mushrooms or shishito peppers. They have little skewers of beef or chicken. There's even a salmon option. All of them were cooked perfectly. We got the ramen for my little girl- she loved it. We got fried rice, sushi, etc. it was all beautifully cooked and reasonably priced for NY. The service was fit for our conversation. We were catching up and enjoying the vibes.

    The creamy udon was insanely good. I come back for this dish and this dish only. Everything else was good, but the udon is what made this place really worth it. It's smaller portions so I do think this place is more suitable for 2 people over bigger parties. Service was ok. Sat on quickly, the server got us what we needed but wasn't as attentive compared to other places I have been. They made sure we had everything so I still left happy. Ambiance was really cool. Two floors, clean, and spacious.

    The skewers were delicious! The selection is amazing - we had chicken ovaries, chicken hearts, chicken livers, cow tongue and the usual! I enjoyed the vibe and the energy of this place! The servers are so nice, knowledgeable, and patient! The drinks were all right but I should have gotten the sake instead as the cocktails were not strong enough for me.

    Took a chance and walked in for dinner. Sat at the counter, and it worked out great. Their yakitori was yummy and very they had a good selection. Ramen was tasty, broth was clean and flavorful. Nice vibes and staff were friendly. Sometimes you find gems when not planned.

    Amazing meal! Loved the vibe and servers were so friendly and helpful. Prompt service and everything tasted so good. Got a bunch of skewers and left so full and happy. Highly recommend!

    So delicious!! Honestly everything is so worth it and the food comes out pretty fast. You order smaller bites and it's actually pretty filling and very flavorful. Service is pretty attentive and I felt like everything came out pretty fast. Also, the restaurant itself is pretty cute, we were sitting behind the host table and right in front of the kitchen so we were able to see the chefs preparing the food.

    I only ordered takeout so this review is for the food only. nonono first caught my eye in 2023 for the funny looking name as I was browsing Google Maps for nearby restaurants. I ate a boatload of carbs (pizza :D) one day and desperately wanted some protein for dinner so I wound up ordering a bunch of yakitori. Everything sounded good, there's quite a selection of chicken parts, with more limited beef, fish, pork, and veggie options. The food was simple but cooked well and very flavorful, even for the "boring" cuts of chicken like tenderloin and breast. My favorite wound up being the breast with skin because even though the skin wasn't crispy, it balanced out the lean meat with a pleasantly rich fattiness. I really want to dine in next time I'm in NYC.

    Salmon Don, Edamame, Yasai Udon, Salmon Ikura Don, Unagi Donburi, Shoyu Ramen

    We took everyone out to eat here after classes one day, and honestly, it was pretty good. We were seated upstairs, and had a really fun waiter serve us for the evening. We were able to try a little bit of everything, and honestly everything was super fresh. I really enjoyed snacking on the edamame in between the food, as it's a classic. The dons were all super flavorful and the sashimi was fresh and succulent. I particularly enjoyed the Asari buttered with toast, as it was something I wasn't used to eating, but it was nice and soft and aromatic.

    This restaurant was so delicious and such a vibe. This place was hidden in a corner and I'm so glad we checked it out. There was an upstairs eating area as well as seats on the first floor. We ordered a variety of dishes and the Karage and ramen were my favorite. They also had fun drink options to choose from. Service was great and food was delicious :)

    On a sweltering summer day, we found ourselves at nonono on Madison and East 30th for lunch. The cool air conditioning and urban shiek welcomed us in, and we ordered and got our food very quickly. We started with a wasabi tuna roll, with a little spice to activate our taste buds, then we all shared a Yasai Udon - deep, umami flavors - a Shoyu Chintan experience set with brothy ramen and perfectly cooked knobs of chicken and strips of beef on sticks, and a Yakitori Teishoku, kabobs and assorted sides combined for a fun and varied meal. We downed the food almost as quickly as it arrived. This is a great little restaurant. If you're looking for authentic, traditional Japanese place, this is the one to try.

    Cod Cream Udon

    Two of us came here for an early dinner tonight and had a great experience. Everyone on staff was lovely, friendly, and attentive. Nice atmosphere, although I'm guessing that later in the evening it might get a bit loud. And most importantly, the food was really good! I had the cod cream udon and I absolutely loved it. My companion had small plates: eggplant dengaku, a tofu skewer, and an eggplant skewer. They were delicious as well. The prices seemed reasonable for the excellent quality of the food. Highly recommend.

    Tori tantan ramen
    Andrew T.

    The service here is great and the workers are friendly. This place is modern, clean and has a decent amount of seating. There's an upstairs and downstairs floor. I recommend making reservations. The tori tantan ramen was flavorful and had a strong nutty flavor. The skewers were delicious, especially the short rib. The cod roe cream udon was really saucy and enjoyable. The Suishingen tasted light and wasn't too sweet. Definitely would come back here.

    Ask the Community - nonono

    Do you offer takeout and/or delivery?

    Yes they do

    Trying to make a reservation online and was asked to choose my preferred seating. What is the difference between "indoor dining" and "dining table" - the only two options provided?

    Hi, thank you for the inquiry. You can choose "dining table", that's the only option we have at this time.

    Will you have new items coming soon?

    Their menus look extremely old, so I wouldn't bank on it.

    Does this restaurant accept walk-in seating or is it reservation-only?

    They accept walk-ins. Probably make a reservation if you don't want to wait though, especially during busy hours.

    Is there outdoor seating?

    There has been during COVID and not in the winter.

    Are there gluten free options? If so, is there a GF menu?

    I don't think there are gluten free options as far as I know. To confirm you'll have to call the restaurant.

    Is it open seating at the bar?

    Yes.

    Are there vegetarian options here?

    Yes they have vegetarian options available.

    Are there a lot of gluten options? Is there a gluten free menu?

    There was not a separate GF menu when I went but there were many, many GF options. Careful with the sauces but not a hard issue if you've been around the block before and/or have a knowledgeable server.

    What kind of attire should I wear? Can I dress up to go here?

    It's a casual joint. If you want to dress up you won't stick out per say. I saw a table of women dressed up for GNO and a table clearly on a date. It's not like dressing up and going to a dive bar. You'll be fine however you dress. Hope that helps.

    When is the happy hour?

    Not sure what time it starts but it ends at 7pm

One the one hand I get it, on the other hand you've got two paying customers on a slow night.

The unmarked entrance and doorbell immediately set the tone, and once inside it feels like you stepped out of Manhattan and into a dark, old New York cocktail lounge. The velvet seating, curtains, low lighting, and little private nooks make the whole place feel intimate without being gimmicky. That atmosphere is very much intentional. The Chelsea location is the original Raines Law Room and is built around that hidden speakeasy experience. The cocktails were beautifully presented, and I liked that this felt like a place where you could actually sit with friends and have a conversation rather than compete with loud music. We also ordered some meat, cheese, olives, and crackers for the table, which was perfect alongside the drinks without turning the night into a full dinner. What stood out most to me was how cohesive everything felt. The drinks, glassware, lighting, service style, and decor all fit the same mood. It feels refined and special without trying too hard. Pay special attention to the bathroom wall art. Definitely not an inexpensive night out, but for a true New York cocktail bar experience, I thought Raines Law Room was absolutely worth visiting. This would be especially good for a date night or drinks with a small group.

It was dark when we entered the coffee shop but an ajar door gave way to the bar. The decor is a homage to the works of Nikola Tesla, which can be seen in the subtle electric theme throughout the space and the naming of the cocktails. The space isn't too large - the bar and stools take up most of the space but they also have some booths/tables. The place looks great. The cocktail menu is very creative - I got one of their seasonal mixes that was actually two drinks in one. The main cocktail was meant to be sipped first and they provided a small glass of beer to be sipped after. The name escapes me but it was very good. Since we had cocktails at dinner, we only stayed for one round. Service was good, and overall I enjoyed my time at Patent Pending. I would definitely return to explore more of their menu.
