    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
    Rose W.

    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

I came for dinner this week with visitors from Japan, who were impressed by how authentically Japanese and delicious everything was. Unfortunately, I don't have photos, but we chose the restaurant week menu, which included: 1. Japanese potato salad 2. Choice of kushiage, chicken nanban or kinpira salad--I chose kushiage, which came with 3 pieces 3. Choice of kaisen don, signature burger or shoyu ramen--the burger looked very tasty, but I was in the mood for Japanese food, so I chose the kaisen don 4. Homemade soft serve with choice of strawberry, mango or melon sauce--I chose melon, which was nice We also tried sparkling tea from Copenhagen, which was very refreshing. The restaurant was busy but the servers were friendly and we had a wonderful meal. Looking forward to trying more dishes next time.

Half of their menu is vegan-friendly. Spoiler alert: they will open a permanent location in June/July! *Chicken Karaage*** This chicken karaage was TO DIE FOR -- the caramelized sugar lemon on the side took it to a whole new level. The boneless chicken was so tender and juicy with a thin deep-fried batter. The meat was extremely refreshing after squeezing the lemon and dipping in honey mustard sauce. * Handrolls - Salmon Yuzu, Tuna, Yellowtail** Y'all need to order their handrolls! The sashimi piece was thick and long enough to cover the vinegar rice. It would be a pain to pick which handroll I like more. They layered up the flavors of each piece with house sauces, shiso leaf, fried leek, avocado etc. Wish they would add a handroll set in the future. *Pork Cutlet Curry The curry was a blend of shredded meat, mashed potatoes, tomatoes and grapes (yes grapes!). The pork loin cutlets were crispy and not heavily breaded. The meat was a bit dry, yet it was cut in thin slices so it didn't bother me much. I found the multigrain rice even more enjoyable than white rice with its crunchiness. *Matcha Crème Brûlée** WE LOVED THIS. Matcha flavor is strong. The caramelized top and creamy matcha custard complemented really well. Trust me, their crème brûlée is the best dessert to finish off your meal. *Vegan Matcha Cheesecake This cheesecake was homey and light. Matcha flavor was tasteable but not very strong. The raspberry compote added a nice touch to it. I liked the crunchy biscuit layer on the bottom. *Yuzu White Peach Sparkling *Virgin Green Tea Mojito Their Japanese-inspired mocktails were great and not too sweet (very rare for mocktails). Very refreshing to drink along with your meal.

Starting off with the Agedashi Tofu: Three pieces of tofu in tsuyu sauce. Light and crispy, with a savory but not too salty broth. It came with fried enoki mushrooms. Some grated radish would've been a nice touch. Chicken Karaage: This was my personal favorite. The chicken pieces were tender and juicy, while crispy on the outside. The portion came with a decent amount of chicken which was shareable between three. Shoyu Ramen: Not a standout dish, but seeing as it's not specifically a ramen restaurant, it was standard! Not amazing but not bad. Pork Cutlet Curry: As someone who loves Japanese curry, this hit the spot! Warm flavorful curry with crispy tonkatsu. However, I think it would taste better served with fluffy white rice! Also I think it was served with a side of grapes which was seemed odd unless it's a new food trend I'm unaware of. Overall, would definitely come back! They seem to do fried foods well, hopefully they can introduce tempura or a katsu sando would be amazing.

The restaurant was full at the counter however only a few tables in the back. Our server was often always standing next to our table, attentive and observant with our needs. I really liked that we had the option to get as many omakases as we wanted and/or order as many a la carte menu items. Many Japanese omakase restaurants do not allow this! And I never understood this either. We ordered 3 omakases to share amongst 2 people, and then a ton of a la carte dishes to share. Which were such a beautiful compliment to our omakase dishes. We got the "O" which was a 9 course meal with some cooked and raw options. From the a la carte menu, we ordered the chicken karaage, agedashi tofu, hamachi kama, clay pot rice with salmon and roe, sukiyaki noodles, 2 different rolls (tuna and salmon) and of course the uni taster (which were 3 different kinds of sushi from California and 2 from Hokkaido). The agedashi tofu was the worst amongst our group for a weird texture, definitely did not feel like tofu. The best dishes were the uni taster, chicken karraage, and hamachi kama all from the a la carte menu. And from the omakase, definitely the sushi platter (which were 10 pieces of sushi) and the soba noodles were so amazing! The sushi rice here were so delicious! This is how you can tell a authentic sushi restaurant vs not. Overall, definitely recommend and absolutely order a la carte to get a full tasting of the dishes.

    Apparently There's No Such Thing as Too Hot for Ramen!…read more I was working from my Midtown office, which is ALWAYS freezing , so despite it being a hot day in NYC, ramen sounded like the perfect lunch. Instead of taking the easy route and ordering delivery, I decided to walk over to Kushi Kushi Yaki to get some fresh air -- and, more importantly, escape the Arctic tundra that is my office. The restaurant is small but really nicely decorated and felt warm and inviting. As soon as I walked in, the waitress/hostess greeted me and offered me a seat. I let her know I was ordering to-go, and she immediately handed me a menu so I could make my selection. I quickly landed on the Tantan Ramen -- chicken broth, seasoned ground chicken, soft-boiled egg, hot oil, bok choy, scallions, and chili paste. And OMG, it was SO good! Flavorful, comforting, with just the right amount of heat. Exactly what I needed! The price was also a pleasant surprise! The ramen was listed at $18 on the regular menu, but it was only $15 as part of the lunch special. For a filling and delicious lunch in Midtown Manhattan, I thought that was a pretty good deal. I was also really impressed with how thoughtfully they packed the ramen for takeout. The broth came in a larger container, while all of the ingredients were packed separately in a smaller container that fit perfectly inside. No soggy noodles or ingredients sitting in broth during the walk back to the office! My only small critique is the shape of the broth container. It was pretty tall and narrow, which made everything a little difficult to stir once combined. A wider, more rounded container would make eating it much easier. Overall, delicious ramen, friendly and efficient service, great takeout packaging, AND a solid lunch deal. I'd absolutely go back -- even when my office isn't freezing me out!

The food was well executed, but the flavors didn't quite stand out for me. I had the Black Garlic Tonkotsu Ramen, which was pretty good with nicely cooked noodles, but the broth felt a little one-note. Since yakitori is their namesake, I also tried the 7-skewer combo along with the chicken skin and gizzard. The skin and gizzard were excellent, and the bacon-wrapped baby corn and cherry tomato from the combo were standouts. Everything was cooked well, but I wasn't a huge fan of the tare, which leaned pretty salty and lacked some balance. The lychee mango cocktail pouch was fun but nothing particularly memorable. Overall, a good spot for the atmosphere, service, and some standout skewers, but the food didn't quite wow me.
