My sister and I were visiting from Atlanta last week for her birthday and we decided to get a few drinks from Tokyo Noir. The vibe was excellent and the drinks were phenomenal. I just have to give our bartender, Dylan, high praise. He was personable and his drink recommendations were spot on. Thanks Dylan for helping us have a wonderful time!! I highly recommend.

YES. I went and had the best date ever. The menu has custom art for each drink and personalities to match. The food was amazing, we ordered the hashimi twice. I would go back in a heart beat. Inside where the bathrooms are is a little photo booth. We capped our date night with photo strips and very full stomachs.
I’m extremely happy. As a sober girly, my mocktails were delicious. DO make a reservation.

Edit: just realized the bar is clearly owned by private equity. Completely explains the lack of soul combined with great marketing.
Extremely disappointing. $100+ (with tip) for 4 cocktails, 3 of which were fairly ill-conceived and none of which had much alcohol.
Atmosphere was abysmal. Couldn't tell if they were trying for a Japanese bar trying to be a trashy Long Beach bar, or if they're just a trashy Long Beach bar, but everything except the prices seemed cheap.

We enjoyed the food & drinks here! We ordered the corn dogs, perfect small bite. For drinks, we got the kaiju, juice theory, it g ma, and monochrome. Kaiju and it g ma were our favorites. Ambiance was great too. The one thing I would’ve liked is that our server gave us a reminder 30 mins before that our time was ending. We would’ve ordered another drink tbh, but we lost track of time lol and our server didn’t come around often (to be fair, he seemed VERY busy and might’ve been the main one taking orders for every table). Can’t wait to return and try more of their drinks!

Drinks here are sooooo delicious! My fav was the Monochrome cocktail with Gin, plum, and sake. Service was friendly! We didn’t have any food, but I only ever hear good things about it.

This charming establishment offers a delightful experience, characterized by its small and inviting atmosphere. The presentation is undeniably cute, adding to its unique appeal. You'll find the service to be wonderfully prompt, ensuring you're not left waiting. To top it all off, the drinks served here are absolutely delicious, making for a truly enjoyable visit.

We went here for our 10th wedding anniversary. It was our first time. The ambiance was really nice. The food was very good and the drinks were even better. However, we felt rushed through the Tokyo Noir experience and for much of what you pay for IS the experience. The problem is that our reservation was at 10pm. When we arrived, we waited outside the venue for 12 mins while the server set up our table. By the time we sat down, it was last call for food, and at 11:15 it was last call for drinks. I wanted more time to relax. Everything around us was so amazing! The bartender was mixing drinks with passion and excitement. The folks around us were enjoying their time together. The music was funky 90s hip hop and rap. It was a beautiful evening. I didn’t want it to end. So to be reminded upon arrival, through drinks and meals, and as our plates were hurriedly being cleared (seriously.. I had three more fries on my plate that I wanted to eat) that it was coming to an end.. I felt sad. We promised ourselves that we will be back. Yes, we will definitely return. If you want a full experience, though, I recommend you book reservations before 9pm. It was our luck we got a reservation, and we’re glad and very grateful for the time spent. :))

Finally made it here over the weekend to see what all the hype is about. Tokyo Noir really is a hidden gem! The entrance is tucked down a little alley behind another restaurant, marked only by a glowing red Japanese lantern. The whole space is tiny (I think only 28 seats!), which makes it feel intimate, cozy, and perfect for a slow, intentional cocktail night.They specialize in crafted cocktails with real artistry behind the bar with bartenders carving huge blocks of ice by hand and building drinks with Japanese-inspired ingredients and layers of flavor. Drinking here feels more like a thoughtful, culinary experience rather than a casual night out.
We came as a party of 5 and tried a bunch of drinks and food:
Cocktails: Astro Boy – Citrus and floral. Pretty, but not for me. Drunken Tiger – You can definitely taste the layers: veggie, herbal, bitter, sweet. If you appreciate depth and nuance, this is your drink. Juice Theory – SO good we ordered it four times. Absolutely delicious! Hibiki Old Fashioned – My order. Gorgeous presentation and I loved watching the bartender carve the ice… but the giant ice block made it a little hard to sip from the glass lol. Ichiro Old Fashioned – My boyfriend’s pick. He really enjoyed this one. Manila Killa – Had to represent the Filipina in me! I was waiting for that calamansi punch, but sadly it fell flat. Dirty Soba – Hahahaha. My boyfriend’s twin ordered this and we all tried it… it legit tasted like soup.They designed it to mimic Japanese soba broth, so mission accomplished?? He didn’t like it and the server swapped it out. Initial B – My boyfriend’s drink. I assumed the banana note would be weird, but it surprisingly works!
One thing worth noting is that they are not flexible on modifying cocktails. My girlfriend tried ordering one of the N/A drinks with hard liquor added and they said no. Whatever their reasoning, just be mindful before you go.
Food: Wasabi Fries – A hit with the whole party. Deviled Egg – Not bad. Nagoya Wings – Everyone enjoyed these. Very big wings! Corn – Corn “ribs.” Tiny and not for me. Yuzu & Eel Roll – Great rolls! Hamachi Sashimi- light and refreshing. Crispy Rice- Good.
We came here intending to have dinner and drinks, but believe them when they say the food is true tapas-style portions. I’d recommend eating elsewhere first and coming here specifically for cocktails and the experience. They only had one server for the entire room plus two bartenders, but honestly we still received great service. The vibe is intimate, moody, and elevated. It’s perfect for date night or a chill night out with friends who appreciate craft cocktails.
Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely return just for drinks. Tokyo Noir is unique, creative, and worth checking out at least once especially if you love Japanese flavors and speakeasy-style bars.
Food was just OK but the cocktails were insanely good. I would definitely go again.

It has this Tokyo bar vibe that can only hold a few people. Wouldn't let us in until right at 10pm so keep that in mind if it's late bc there's nothing else out there. There were several birthdays so they made shots for everyone. Food and drinks came out quick. Not sure if was an off night, but service felt off. It was a vibe setting, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come back.

Our hostess and server, Jasmine, was beyond exceptional. She greeted us warmly, made sure we felt comfortable the entire night, and had such a genuine, welcoming energy. She was attentive without being intrusive, gave great recommendations, and really elevated the whole experience with her charm and professionalism. And Jacob, our bartender, deserves major recognition. Every cocktail he made was perfectly balanced — rich in flavor, beautifully presented, and crafted with clear attention to detail. You could tell he’s passionate about mixology and takes pride in every drink he serves. Together, Jasmine and Jacob created an experience that felt personal, refined, and unforgettable. If you’re looking for an elegant, intimate spot with world-class drinks and service that makes you feel like a VIP, this is the place to go. 10/10 — highly recommend and will absolutely be back.
