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 :)
