on Citysearch Dec 26, 2009I feel like I've lost an old friend. I had been going to Noma since I moved to LA about ten years ago for their great food and low-key atmosphere. It all changed under the new ownership. Traditional feel is gone, food is... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 25, 2009For years and years Noma was a neighborhood treasure. I recently went back after more than a year away. The remodel is ok, but the sushi bar is too low. More importantly, the food is almost unrecognizable. The new... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 21, 2009I take my family here often and we are rarely disappointed. The sushi is delicious and my son can't get enough of the shrimp tempura. The teriyaki chicken and steak are both sweet and tender. I can't say I'm a foodie. I am... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 09, 2008This place has been around forever, but unless you're looking for it, you'll probably drive right past it. I've been on a mission to find the best and freshest no frills sushi place, and the search is over! I could eat... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 05, 2007Noma has great sushi and sashimi. Try the salmon sashimi and the fresh water eel sushi. They're a bit pricy but nothing that the quality can't justify. The lunch/dinner sets are average but are good value for money.... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 24, 2007Be sure to sit at the sushi bar and let the sushi chef know your likes/dislikes. They love to be creative when given the chance and make exceptional plates (in both presentation and flavors.) It might not have the... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 27, 2006Noma has the most consistent sushi. Always good, never bad. I like their Chilean seabass, ask them if it is fresh or frozen, fresh is better. There are better sushi places in LA, but when you are in Santa Monica and want a... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 25, 2006Oh my god, I couldn't disagree with the previous poster more. Noma serves incredible sushi, especially the yellowtail, sweet shrimp and scallops. It's one of those places my husband and I can always count on for a... (more)

on Yahoo Dec 24, 2005Decent sushi: Am Japanese-American and lived in Tokyo for 6 years. Noma's sushi is very fresh. Scallop is especially good. The rice, or shari, however is too hard, almost stale. (more)

on Yahoo Nov 21, 2005Excellent sushi place: This seems to be a favorite of UCLA professors who are willing to make the drive from Westwood. I've had a couple friends take me there. The sushi is great. It's in a small strip mall.... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 17, 2005Noma is a friendly neighborhood sushi place without any Los Angeles pretentiousness. The sushi menu is pretty basic, and they have quite a ... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 10, 2004Just terrible. Table was dirty when waitress brought us to it. Sushi was aweful, seemed old and poorly cut. Tofu in miso seemed old. Veggies for tempura were not fresh and batter was too heavy, sauce was way watered... (more)
