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.
