    We were running late and had theatre tickets. Valet took care of the car, we were seated and had our drinks and food in less then 15 minutes. All the food was amazing. Highly recommend the bussel sprouts and the Katsuya rolls, but everything was devious.

    Tokyo Noir felt like a classy bar more akin to New York than a Long Beach alleyway. Between 5 drinks and 2 appetizers, nothing fell short of expectations, and most exceeded them. The service was intimate and engaging. The ambiance was unique and hard to find in this part of town. I thoroughly enjoyed the small capacity and do not like an overcrowded bar. It was classy and elegant - perfect for a date. I will definitely be coming back (if I can get another reservation, that is).

    The food was absolutely amazing although not inexpensive. Still, the sushi was top notch including the best albacore tuna I ever had! My mood was lifted to the stratosphere from the experience.
