Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Japantown

My first time at this location. Wonderful design! Incredible food. The service that Arturo provided as well as the other staff was exceptional. I will definitely recommend this to others moving forward. My sole piccata was unbelievably delicious.

My husband and I have been wanted by to go to Nopa for over a year now, but reservations have been hard to get. I finally tried to get one for my husband’s birthday and we were in luck. The wait was worth it. The drinks and food was ABSOLUTELY incredible. Everything we ordered was delicious, and we can’t wait to go back. What a GEM!

Our chef was Francisco; he was top notch, five stars all the way. He was non-stop with the Benihana thrills from start to finish. It was everything we had hoped for and more. He took such care to prepare our vegetarian meals on the grill first so that they would not have contact with meat items. The coordination between him and his assistant to get everyone their items quickly was also flawless. Well done!!!!

I recently visited the restaurant and was blown away! Their new menu for holiday season focuses on Northeastern Thai cuisine and it’s incredibly authentic without being overly spicy. The highlight of the night was the crab dip with sticky rice, papaya salad ( Which our server actually making papaya salad at your table. So fun! ), beef tongue, duck laarb, Grilled Iberico pork and the dessert, especially the final one—were absolutely fantastic. Creativity gets a solid 10/10. I was also impressed by how well the wine pairing was planned as it complemented each course perfectly, which isn’t easy to do with Thai food. The experience was definitely worth the price, Great service, perfect for special occasions or celebrations. Can’t wait to go back when they roll out their next menu!

A truly unique experience, it fully deserves the high ratings. The only downside I did not feel I’m eating at an elegant and high end place even though it’s priced as on. I highly recommend my friends to try this
