Review Summary

Noren is described as a small, cozy spot that feels traditional and high quality, with simple yet delicious dishes like 'salmon chazuke' and 'okonomiyaki' that stand out. It is viewed as a great lunch destination with a homey vibe, where the space is intimate and seating can feel like sitting beside strangers while the food remains the focus. The place is praised as a total gem and a charming hidden gem, noted for its cute, refined atmosphere and the charisma that comes from its petite size. Because the space is cozy, it fills up quickly and arriving a few minutes before opening is advised to secure a table. First time visits are described as enjoying a delicious, authentic Japanese meal with attentive service and no rush to leave, and there is interest in returning to try more of the menu. The staff are described as great, and the Okonomiyaki is frequently recommended.

Very small restaurant with a homey feel. Sitting beside strangers, not many real tables but great food.

A total gem! This spot is cute, traditional, & high-quality. Because it's a cozy space, it fills up almost instantly-I highly recommend arriving at least 5 minutes before they open to secure a table.'

First time going to Noren. We really enjoyed the meal. Delicious & authentic Japanese cuisine. The place is a bit small, but they won't rush you to leave after the meal. Great service ! Definitely going back to try the rest of the menu

Que dire de ce hidden gem! Simpliste, mais à la fois pensé, élégant & épuré. Un brin petit, mais c'est ce qui donne le charisme à l'endroit.

I was surprised how tiny the place was. Maybe 10 seats top. No tables only counters. But still very cozy.
The food though... wow it was amazing! I never tasted anything like it. We took everything. So the takoyaki, Okonomiyaki, & the plate of the week. Everything was so tasty & authentic.
The waiter was very friendly. & super cute.
We look forward to trying it again.

NOREN est un petit restaurant japonais chaleureux reconnu pour leurs Takoyaki & Okonomiyaki (frais, chauds & delicieux!). Le menu est restreint (takoyaki, okonomiyaki, 1 plat de la semaine, salade, dessert & boissons (aucun alcool), mais qualite assuree.
Je recommande fortement :)
