Noma Sushi

Noma Sushi delivers fresh, flavorful sushi with a great variety from classic nigiri to inventive rolls that really pop. The fish tasted clean and vibrant, portions are generous, and the atmosphere is cozy and inviting without pretense, perfect for a casual dinner or a sushi date. Service was friendly and the overall experience hit all the right notes. Also the staff is so friendly; I get why they've been open for 40 years.

I had a wonderful experience dining here — from the moment you arrive, you can tell this place is something special. The exterior and entrance are beautifully designed, with thoughtful decorative elements that immediately set the tone. Walking inside, the space feels very spacious and filled with a strong, authentic Japanese atmosphere. What makes it even more impressive is that much of the signage and décor were carefully brought over from the original location, giving the restaurant a truly immersive and intentional feel. The food absolutely lives up to the setting. Their Omakase course and Chirashi Bowl are clear standouts — beautifully presented, great value, and highlighting the freshness and quality of the ingredients.

This is truly the top-tier Japanese restaurant in Santa Monica! We came on a weekday evening and still had to wait in line for 40 minutes, but it was absolutely fantastic.

Local recommendations are definitely reliable, and I'll definitely come back next time I'm in Santa Monica.

New location and the decoration looks so good and it’s all Japanese style. Love the omakase set so much and the fish was so fresh. Black truffle salmon is a must order dishes. The uni toast was also really good we love the uni.

A lot of people first came here in their twenties, and now that they’re married with kids, they still bring their children back to eat here 🥹 They relocated across the street due to area redevelopment, but the moment you step inside, you’ll feel that classic, traditional Japanese atmosphere is still there. The wooden interior, the sushi bar, and the large Japanese ceramic jars at the entrance really make it feel like you’re traveling in Japan 🇯🇵✨ They’re especially known for their Omakase. We ordered the $64.95 set, and the freshness of the sushi was on point. The pacing was just right, and you can really taste the care put into each piece 🍣 Uni lovers must try the Uni Toast and Uni Shooter — creamy, rich, and abs
