Izakaya Nonbei

If you’re looking for a great izakaya look no further. Nonbei has become our “go to” spot for delicious food, cold beers and sake, and great service. Be sure to order one of the fresh sashimi sets to start, then some nigiri sushi followed by anything on the menu. It’s all good and depends what you’re in the mood for. The kakuni, chicken, butterfish, fried flounder, beef tongue, agedashi tofu, chawanmushi, tempura, sautéed mushrooms and eggplant, and gyoza are just some of our favorites. If you have room for dessert, the yuzu sorbet is a must, as is the kinako warabi. Plenty of free parking in front of the restaurant or in the private overflow lot a little up the street. Enjoy! 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

We were excited to get the parking spot for our dinner reservation. They assigned a table very closed to its entry doorway while the whole restaurant has so many opening tables. Rushing to order. Rush to check out. We don’t see the waiting lineup anywhere 😰 One thing is good is the young lady ( must be the owner’s daughter or so) was nice to help out change the seating for us. English is good 👍 too.

Izakaya Nonbei is a fantastic place if you want high quality fish and timely meals given at a great price. The selection of fish they had was amazing. You can dine on tasty bluefin tuna at good price, or eat authentic wagyu for a little under normal price for that quality of meat. Their Wasabi is also a great reason to come, for not only is it more tasteful and spicy than nearby places, you also get a lot of each with each dish. Highly recommend.

Exceptionally tasty food. We had the soft shell roll, mushroom eggplant dish and fish (not pictured). Some service people very attentive although it varied. We ate at the bar as the tables for 2 were so close they would not allow for conversion. Was surprised when one waitress commented half way through our meal she thought our chairs were not placed close enough to the bar for her liking.
