Here you can actually taste the ingredients they describe and somehow work really well together. And it's not just one or two drinks that feel unique and interesting it's basically their whole menu. Most recent time we went was when they had a guest bartender (Polo Chang). Some of the best cocktails I've had recently. I'm a huge fan of tea in cocktail his menu was amazing. We got way more drinks than we usually do that night because each one was better than the last. Only thing tho I really wish they kept their old menu. The drawings were beautiful and it had so much character while very easily communicating how each drink will look and taste. It went so well with the overall vibe of the place. I honestly would come here wayyyy more often if it wasn't for the very limited parking. Even with reservation it feels like never a guarantee we will make it there because we may or may not be able to find parking. If you are lucky to be nearby highly recommend uber.

I've been wanting to check out Tokyo Noir for the longest time, the exclusive 25 seat speakeasy…read morebar/izakaya that specializes in Japanese cocktails. I was able to make a late dinner reservation for Saturday night about a week prior - reservations are definitely encouraged, as the bar was full the entire time we were there. Gaining access to the speakeasy was actually not that difficult, just ring the doorbell of the ornate floral door, beneath the lone lantern in the alley behind El Barrio Cantina. Parking though was a nightmare. I only realized when paying the bill that the two establishments are one and the same, and I could have very likely parked in the designated spots for El Barrio customers. The whole bar is a mood - lighting is dim and you don't get to see much beyond your table, which is good for those seeking privacy. One thing to note is that because the dining space is so small and intimate, it does get quite loud. The appetizers we tried were all good, with izakaya flare as promised. The charred edamame was extremely addicting, smothered in garlic soy and just the right amount of spicy from chili arbor. The Okonomi corn dog was a clever spin on okonomiyaki, bonito flakes and all. Finally, both the Yuzu and Wagyu rolls were fresh and perfect size bites of their respective fishes. I wish I could have sampled their entire cocktail menu! All the drinks sounded novel and unique, and featured their specially cut crystal clear ice. My Yuzu Strawberry blended the smokiness of the mezcal with the tangy sweetness from yuzu and strawberry perfectly. And the Peated Highball I ordered as my nightcap has to be my new favorite drink, adding a boldness to the Japanese cocktail staple. Only reason I took a star off my review was the abrupt service. Our waitress was not subtle about needing our table for the next reservation, asking to clear our plates when there was still food on it, and closing our check early to the point that the bartender had to come and charge us again for our last drink. Despite that, still stronly suggest checking out Tokyo Noir. Long Beach sadly doesn't have many speakeasies, but the ones that are here are at the top of their game.

(not pictured) today we went back for the yellowtail carpaccio, poke nachos, crunch roll & shishito peppers. all really good. (also, notable dish is the tokyo hambagu) i usually get that but ill get it again soon. service was excellent. thanks to the te-buru staff (two gentlemen) working lunch shift two days ago and for today the lady whom took our order. special thanks to the kitchen staff, always killing it back there

My boyfriends's brother treated me and my boyfriend out for lunch here. I was so excited because of…read morehow different and unique this experience would be. My boyfriend's brother did the ordering since he's been here a lot. He ordered: Peruvian Cebiche: which was the catch of the day, tiger milk, ahi Amarillo, concha, and sweet potato. It was so delicious! I believe the catch of the day was either scallop or white fish which was in the tiger milk and ahi Amarillo sauce which was a sour like sauce which pairs well with the fish. It was also a great dipping sauce for the other sushi we got. If I could, I would have slurped the whole thing (the sauce) lol. Blue Fin Sashimi: with kizami wasabi and special soy sauce. If you have tried blue fin you are missing out. The sashimi just melts in your mouth and has such an easy chew to it. Sushi Nikkei Tasting (8 pc sushi): consists of 2 pcs of sweet salmon (parrillera sauce), tuna power (parrillera sauce, aji Amarillo, and chalaquita), Parmesan scallops, and Asian shiromi (white fish, Asian sauce, quinoa pop, and lemon). My boyfriend and I had 1 pc each. The salmon and Parmesan scallops were my favorite. My boyfriend's favorite was the Asian shiromi and tuna power. All the toppings complimented each other so well. Who knew?! Acebichado: which was a specialty roll with crispy shrimp, avocado topped with tuna, acebicado sauce, togarashi, and green onion Dusty roll: which was another specialty roll with crispy shrimp, avocado topped with octopus in ninja sauce, Parmesan, and tare OBA roll: which was another specialty roll that had crispy salmon, avocado topped with salmon , parrillera, jalapeno sauce, and chalaquita All the rolls were good and the different sauces complimented each other and the fish. We got there when it was lunch time so it wasn't too busy or too loud. The service was great as the servers always checked up on us. Definitely a must try and we'll be coming back to try the other menu items!

Went for dinner last night and had some delicious food. Not the first time here and won't be the…read morelast. Was disappointed in the service at first since we have 5 people including my 1 1/2 year old son. Host said he only had a table for 4 which I figured was fine with a high chair When I asked the server for the high chair the host ran over saying we could not have it because it was in the way of the server. There was another table on the other end that wasn't in the "walkway" and host said it's reserved even though it was still only for 4. Wasn't extremely busy so got frustrated with this response as at first there was no solution provided. About 1-2 minutes later they offered to combine a third table to "reroute" the server path and we were able to eat with my child. Server and rest of staff were great and turned the experience around. Food was delicious including octopus fire, bluefin tuna tasting , Ginza Maki roll , Bixby Roll and the Acebichado. We were so hungry we didn't get to take a picture but that alone should tell you how good it was.

I returned on a weekend afternoon and was immediately seated. I ordered the Scallop Sashimi and…read moreSpicy Albacore roll again. I also got the Spicy Chunk Yellowtail hand roll and Bikini roll. Scallop Sashimi was delicious, but looked smaller compared to my previous visit. The Spicy Albacore was perfect and will continue to be my go to. The hand roll was obese and stuffed with Yellowtail. It was very satisfying. I also enjoyed the sweet and savory combination of the Bikini roll. The service was excellent and there was plenty of open seating. I enjoy the atmosphere, energy, and music while dining. I'd say Yume is Top 5 sushi in LB. They also have locations in Pico Rivera and Manhattan Beach with their own specials & appetizers.

Very disappointing experience at Yume Sushi. We waited about…read more15 minutes to be seated, which was reasonable. Unfortunately, we were placed at a small corner table where several mosquitoes were flying around, and both of us were bitten multiple times during our meal. We originally ordered the butter scallops and the hamachi kama (yellowtail collar), but were told they were sold out, so we had to order something else instead. The food quality was good, and the appetizers came out promptly. However, my chicken teriyaki never arrived while we were eating. After we had finished our meal, I flagged down another waitress to cancel the order and ask for the check. A few minutes later, I noticed my chicken teriyaki had been delivered to the wrong table before it was eventually brought to ours. The biggest issue was the service. Our original waitress never checked on us, asked how everything was, or offered drink refills. I had to flag down another waitress for drink refills, and she was the only one who was attentive. I still left a tip because of the other waitress who helped us, but overall the poor service overshadowed the good food. Sadly, I won't be coming back.

Wanted to sit outside and they only had two small tables which worked for us. The service was about average, not super friendly never smiled. We each ordered a Station 42 roll which was very good. I asked for Ponzu sauce and when I got the bill, I was charged $2.00 for it! Seriously! (it's like soy sauce!) I would recommend this place, but don't go for the service!

This was one of the best ramen spots we tried during our Long Beach trip…read more The tonkotsu ramen had a rich, creamy broth that wasn't overly salty, and the noodles had a great texture. The chashu was tender and flavorful, and every bite felt well balanced. The pork rice bowl was just as good and is worth ordering if you're hungry. The restaurant is clean, modern, and has a relaxed atmosphere. Service was friendly, and the food came out quickly even though the place was busy. It isn't the cheapest bowl of ramen, but the quality makes it worth it. If you're looking for good ramen in Long Beach, HiroNori is an easy recommendation.

This space used to be El Pocho Grill, which unfortunately closed years ago. I was seated immediately and very much enjoyed the infused water. The Tonkotsu Ramen was delivered shortly after ordering. It was good with flavorful broth that wasn't overly-salty. It just didn't hit the spot and had me desiring more. It's some of the best ramen in LB, but the value is lacking, so everything including lemons is an additional charge. They also tack on a 17.68% service charge for their operation since it's a non-tipping, cashless establishment. The service was good, but the operation is business first, restaurant second.
