    Mango Tuna Poke
    Doreen T.

    We visited Nono Baru based on all the high reviews, but unfortunately, the experience fell a bit short of our expectation. The Lemon Salmon Don was enjoyable overall, but I was surprised that it was served with regular rice rather than sushi rice. My husband chose the chicken curry rice and was disappointed by the curry. It tasted more like a Chinese-style curry, which wasn't what he was expecting. The only standout dish of the meal was the Mango Tuna Poke. The tuna was fresh, the mango was exceptionally sweet, and the crispy chips added a nice crunch. I also ordered a matcha mocktail, but it tasted more like an iced matcha latte than a mocktail. Service was friendly but our waiter's humor felt a little awkward and didn't quite land with us. Overall, given all positive reviews, we were expecting a bit more.

    Happy hour menu (6/2026), changes frequently
    Johnny A.

    Think this is my 4th time here, I believe Bubu and Nono Baru have combined into one restaurant. Today I ordered only from the happy hour menu (4:30-6pm) since the non-HH options weren't too impressive last time. Basic hand rolls and apps are $3, with more premium options at $6-8. We noticed the happy hour menu had different options, and staff confirmed that it changes frequently (last time they did not have uni handrolls!). I really like the hot hand towel they give out at the start to wipe your hands, very warm and refreshing. One uni handroll did not arrive as ordered and was almost charged for it, but was fine when I asked them to take it off the bill. Note that the tip percentages/suggestions are calculated on the total after tax & surcharge, not the food order subtotal. The salmon sashimi is my favorite base sushi fix. The tostadas are better than expected. The baby lobster roll mustve had a whole teaspoon of wasabi in there or something. The uni was a little fishy, and the uni/ikura was funky--I'd skip this next time but would reorder the uni wagyu. Overall today the taste was a bit less fresh than last time but still not bad. Staff are generally nice, attentive, help out as needed, and willing to call others when there are questions they may not initially know the answers to.

    enjoyed everything other than the unagi spider roll - the soft shell crab just didn't have much flavor and didn't feel fresh. we were very full for the price we paid. they only do one round of orders now so we probably over ordered. still very good value for happy hour, but food itself is nothing special

    Miso soup
    Jenny X.

    I came here on my own for a solo dining experience. Good: The miso soup was super refreshing, and I was really tired, so it gave me a lot of energy, and the cup is pretty big. The place has a really fun energy. It reminds me of dining in Japan, where you can watch the chefs cut really fresh fish right in front of you. Even sitting there solo, it's still quite nice. Bad: It takes a while to get service. I had to find a waiter myself. I thought that the kimchi udon carbonara is good. It was just a little weird, the flavor profile, so I couldn't actually finish the whole thing. Overall would suggest if you want to pop by for a quick meal!

    Yuzu Lemonade
    Phong T.

    My friend was visiting from out of town and we decided to grab a quick bite around 6PM at Nono Baru. We were confused looking on the maps at first because it showed separate restaurants but after speaking with an employee, he clarified that the two had combined. SERVICE Friendly and attentive! Really, everyone we chatted with was great. SEATING We were seated quickly at the bar/sushi station. The dinner rush did occur during our dine-in so the tables filled up quickly. Most seating are inside but there are a few tables out front of the restaurant. FOOD We ordered quite a few items to share and everything was delicious! Listing them below. -Yuzu Lemonade drink -Spicy Tuna Tostada -Nono Crispy Balls (they can with in squares) -Spicy Hamachi -Salmon Avocado -Nego-toro -Salmon Skin The last 4 are simple rolls, and you can request them to be hand-rolled, but we completely forgot because of our interesting conversation and excitement about trying this place. The salmon skin hands down was absolutely DELICIOUS. The Nono crispy balls we're really good too. I don't remember the exact name but I'm sure the server could identify if the photo is shown. Overall, we had a wonderful experience! The food was absolutely delicious, and the generous portions made every bite even better.

    Came here for happy hour! I really thought I'd have to wait a long time because I arrived 10 minutes after they opened but there was just a small wait. The sushi and sashimi are really fresh and price is amazing but just know that the cost will sneak up on you after getting many small bites. Lemon sour is also really good reminds me of Japan! My bf got the mango mojito and it was also delicious! Will have to come back again.

    Negitoro Handroll
    Thu N.

    Another great dining experience at Nono! This was our first time coming by since the merge with Bubu. There were many more tables added to the restaurant as well as many more staff members working. Service was super fast and friendly, and portion sizes were impressive! :) recs: spicy tuna tostada, salmon sashimi

    Udon Carbonara, Hamachi Scallop Ceviche, Chicken Gizzard Skewers, Crab Butter Mapo Tofu
    Ethan N.

    Finally got the chance to check out Nono's new location just down the street from their old spot on Fillmore and happy to see that they kept a good chunk of their old menu, while having added some new favorites to their rotating list! Parking's a little tough so if you've got an appointment here, account for it. A friend and I came on a Friday at 7:20 and waited around a half hour for a table, with our first dish arriving at 8. The interior features a sitting bar when you walk in and booth tables towards the back and maintains a modern worn-in izakaya feel. Udon Carbonara: Unimaginably decadent comfort dish, with the kimchi-heavy flavor of the sauce almost drowned out by the sheer volume of cream that also allows it to adhere so well to the noodles. Dependable but not particularly novel. Chicken Gizzard Skewers: Grilled perfectly with a satisfying cartilaginous chew to every bite. The chicken flavor is very intense and amplified with the provided lemon and togarashi on request. Crab Butter Mapo Tofu: This might be one of my favorite restaurant renditions of a family style staple, with the characteristic flavors of mapo tofu taken to another level thanks to the addition of the crab butter. Save for the presentation in a crab shell, the inclusion is subtle and lends a savory complexity to the typically one-dimensional spice profile of its base recipe. Hope this stays for a while! Hamachi Scallop Ceviche: Served with tortilla chips, ikura, and a *very* sweet and tart passionfruit dressing that grew on me fairly quickly. No complaints and no surprises. For the volume and quality of food we received, our bill was just over $60 - a steal in my opinion. Glad to see that the location change did not come at the expense of experience. See you again soon :)

    We arrived on a Sunday afternoon and tried the lunch special, 3 items for $15. We selected one special from the hot menu and one from sushi menu. I tried the salmon kama and salmon Okoge stone bowl, the Salmon kama was crispy and fresh with delicious crispy skin and a large portion as well. The Okoge was a little less unique with steamed veggies and grilled salmon. Overall loved both. The nigiri sampler and bluefin tuna looked great as well though I didn't try. Overall ambiance is traditional and trendy, and service was prompt and as expected. I'd definitely return to try the other dishes such as cabonara udon. Also minor note: I chose this restaurant for the scallop risotto dish, only to find out upon arrival they no longer offer that dish on the menu.

    Chirashi bowl in $15 lunch special
    Lizzie S.

    None of these Yelp reviews mention the lunch special?? My mom and I were walking by, looking for a lunch place. Twas the Sunday before Christmas and every place was packed and there were long waitlists! Nono had a tiny line but we were seated within minutes. We were drawn in by their attractive lunch special--pick 3 items (1 from each list) for $15. They have a variety of items so it was fun to pick and choose. My mom got sashimi and poke and sparkling water. I enjoyed unagi rolls and chirashi and the sparkling water. Was it the best fish? Or the biggest portion? No, but it was amazing value. It was fine and good and we were extremely happy. We were slightly sad that hot tea was $3 extra but it does require more labor, so that's understandable. Each table was full! Service worked hard and was kind. The decor is nice. We lucked out and got a nice corner booth, very intimate and cozy and comfy. It looks like they have a nice happy hour too. I can't wait to come back.

    Matcha Cloud, Kiwi Mojito
    Kevin S.

    Food (4/5): Very, very solid! We ordered a wide variety of things, both food and drinks, and I was pretty impressed with it all. I LOVED the Matcha Cloud -- it's a mocktail but absolutely delicious. We got an assortment of rolls, and not a single one was disappointing! Fish tasted fresh, and the quality and portions were very solid for what you're paying. Ambiance (4/5): Nothing crazy here, but it's very cozy and "Japanese" feeling. Definitely lives up to the Izakaya-style vibe that they're going for, and seating is very ample. I like that there's a decent amount of space in between tables. Value (5/5): Considering portion size, fish quality, and ambiance, I think this place is a very good bang for your buck. Japanese food and sushi can get pretty pricey, but this place was extremely reasonable. Overall: I will DEFINITELY be coming back here! I can see this becoming one of my new go-to spots in SF for sushi. And I for sure wanna check out their Happy Hour next time, they have some very solid deals!

    Chirashi
    Priyanka S.

    Nono was a little sushi spot my bf and I decided to check out for happy hour while in Japantown area. Located a little higher up on Fillmore from copra, Nono had a fresh and delicious happy hour with sashimi offerings, and tacos. When we went we decided to get the salmon sashimi and also decided to get the chirashi bowl and share. Both the happy hour sashimi and the chirashi bowl were incredibly fresh and buttery. This chirashi bowl was also one of the most fresh chirashi bowls I have tried. Topped with a variety of fatty fish and uni this chirashi box was well worth the cost and definitely left me wanting more!

    Tuna flight and salmon sashimi
    Jasmine ..

    This place is awesome!! Wanted an early dinner so my friend recommended me this place for their happy hour. The sashimi was $1/piece and the small plates of skewers ranged from $5-10. The quality is unmatched! Got two plates of the Tuna flights, one sashimi one nigiri style. I usually don't like the first cut of blue fin tuna as it's usually more chewy to me but this was probably my favorite piece here. So tender! My favorite was probably the tuna platter and the beef tongue skewer. The beef tongue was nicely bouncy and grilled with a slight sweet sauce basted on it. Everything was 5/5 I'm definitely coming back.

My partner did say the udon hit the spot ‍ * Final Thoughts: cute & busy Izakaya that can work for a romantic date or meet-up with friends, with a standard menu & to be expected flavor.

The karaage was fried well but it was very salty and sweet at the same time. Yosedofu is not my thing. Maybe I just don't like cold tofu but it's just tofu with ginger, scallions and bonito flakes. Negima was ok. A bit dry and very small piece. Tsukune was ok but they charge $3 for a sauce which is basically just an egg yolk. Tonkatsu felt like they boiled the pork chop and then fried it. Oden was very underwhelming. Thr mochi thing was unique but I didn't like it. One of the pieces was just a daikon that tasted like a daikon... Kamatama udon is just udon with the same toppings as the yosedofu. Other than the homemade udon, you can def make this at home.

Literally a half a block from our hotel, Yelp showed us a 4.6 rated restaurant. Read some reviews and we were sold. We were both hungry (with my foodie son) and sat down for an early dinner. Saki was the first order of business, with an excellent recommendation from our service (sweetest person ever) Dry and not too sweet. So early we jumped right into the happy hour appetizers. The Brussels were dreamy, the chicken was pure perfection and the gyoza spectacular. Also dove into the octopus balls (not literally )and they were ridiculous. We also ordered the Niki Ramen that had us in "we can't stop eating, mode. The broth was incredible and the shaved pork just over the top! A free drink suddenly appeared at the table and we were eternally thankful. Finished with the custard and we both wept! Yes, THAT good! The service was impeccable, friendly, funny, attentive, sweet, etc. 5/5 service, just like the food. SO cute on the inside with only around 8 tables.

Granted, we came in around 9 PM, about an hour before closing, so we understood that the kitchen was getting toward the end of the night. We ordered a few dishes to share and there were actually some highlights. The scallops: These were great! Easily one of the better dishes we ordered. The karaage chicken: The chicken itself had great flavor, but the creamy sauce on top was extremely rich and ended up overpowering the chicken. I think with less sauce, this could have been a really good dish. Now, the ramen: This is where I was genuinely left speechless. I don't think I've ever had ramen with absolutely no umami. Like, none. It was one of the strangest things I've ever tasted. I was biting into something, there were textures in my mouth, it smelled great... but that was it. No depth. No richness. No umami. The broth, meat, and even the noodles somehow had almost no flavor. The only thing that really came through was the greasy chili oil that lingered on your tongue afterward. After a couple of bites, we looked at each other and decided to leave. At that point, most of the food was still sitting on the table practically untouched. Maybe we caught the kitchen on an off night, especially coming in later in the evening. The scallops showed us that there's definitely potential here, but unfortunately, the ramen was such a miss that it overshadowed the rest of the meal for us.

My faves are the: - Momo (chicken thigh): so juicy and perfect amount of char - Buta buta (pork belly): crispy + smoky!! | t l ; d r | This is the perfect date spot or even just for dinner + drinks!

    Japanese style izakaya in the Richmond district. Storefront is inconspicuous so you may walk by…read morewithout noticing it. Inside it's a cute and intimate restaurant with a long bar and a few tables. I've been coming to this place over the years and looks like they recently expanded by taking over the next door. Now you can enter to an expanded area through a wall that didn't exist previously to another two bar areas. This place is probably best for date nights and couples rather than large parties. Good variety of izakaya choices including chicken thighs, chicken parts, pork belly, scallops, and some beef options. I found the izakaya solid but not outstanding. The skewers are a little too saucy for my taste which I prefer more the traditional simple salt which you find in Japan. Also, I wish they had more charcoal flavor to the izakayas. On the other hand, I thoroughly enjoyed the chicken skin gyoza which uses chicken skin as wrappers. It's an interesting twist to your traditional gyozas. The fried oysters were good, juicy, and crunchy. They also have a very good selection of sakes and drinks.
