Izakaya Restaurants near Mill Valley, CA

“Been here many times. I prefer this place much more than the other Japanese spots in Mill Valley. I lived in Hawaii for 10 years and have a high standard for Japanese food. They offer more options and everything I've ordered here is delicious. Will continue to come here. Their wine and sake selection is much better as well.“

“Best vegan meal I’ve ever had, went twice in a four days it was that good ❤️“

“Amazing food and service! Sake is the best!“

“Excellent Japanese cuisine, service and staff are wonderful and helpful“

“This place has officially ruined ramen for me. Because if I go somewhere else, I’ll compare it to this place, and just be like, “Damn, I should’ve just gone to Taniku Izakaya instead.”
Perfectly cooked noodles in a flavorful broth, both the crab and the pork that I have gotten have been amazing. They can adjust the spiciness on the broth if you can’t handle too much spice, which is nice. The portions are generous, but not so huge that there ends up being a huge bowl of broth even after you finish your noodles. Delicious gyoza, as well.
It’s a nice, cozy, hole in the wall spot.“

“Came here for a friend catchup and we got seated and had a reservation beforehand.

Good:
- The ramen came out very quickly - I got the classic ramen bowl
- The portion size was good - I was very full by the end
- A nice place to catch up - it's got japanese izakaya vibes and more dimly lit

Bad:
- The soup was really salty so it felt like it was unhealthy to drink too much of it

Overall this was a solid place to have an extended catch up and the ramen was quick and tasty.“

“I’ve been eating soup all week so when my friends wanted to grab ramen I was looking at what else was on the menu. Big pieces of salmon. Great sauce. Garnishes were delicious. Cold beer served in a glass. It just felt comfortable and the noodles looked great I just wanted something light and fresh.“

“There's no place like Moku. You can come here to celebrate and/or to lighten your mood, the vibe is so versatile. The food always comes out hot; I love that the specials reflect seasonality and freshness. The service is also superb, you'll feel right at home :) Highlyyyy recommend <3“

“Got seated right away as a group of 4 at 6 pm on a Friday. Assume a 15-20 minute wait though. The signature ramen with the chicken leg is delicious! Split a spice ball on the side with someone. Creamy chicken broth and a nice flavor with the spice ball addition!“

“I’ve been looking for a good shio ramen ever since Ramen Halu in San Jose closed several years ago. And I finally found it in Ramen Hiroshi and quite by accident. Absolutely delicious chicken shio ramen - just the right level of salt and very refreshing. The chicken chashu was also among the best I’ve had - very juicy and tasty. I’ll definitely be coming back often!“

“The food was delicious, especially the veggie dumplings and the vegetable dragon roll. And our server was incredibly nice! Also, the cute fish cup they served us in was for sale, so of course I had to buy it. Overall a great gem in the city.“

“Super satisfied, excellent soup with unlimited of meat & everything ! Will recommend to my friends & family ! Staff so nice & approachable ! Thank you Jin Pot, all of us are full & contented !“

“Editing this review because we were refused service because “dining is closing” at 2:19 for a 3 pm closing. I was offered takeout, but that was not possible for us. I can only assume the server didn’t want to stay 5 minutes past 3:00pm. left a very bad taste. One of my very favorite Ramen spots. Not only is the Ramen varied and inventive, but they also offer some other side dishes that you don’t see everywhere else. I particularly like the Japanese pumpkin tempura. They also have a variety of fairly priced sake’s.“

“reasonably priced ramen. The food was really good. The tonkatsu broth was excellent and went well with the pork. My daughter had the chicken ramen which was a little overcooked but still tasty. My other daughter had the veggie tofu with mild spice. Mild was still pretty spicy so avoid if your sensitive to spicy food. Overall we were pleased and will return.“

“What an amazing place for sushi. I was town and a local suggested this place an I was not let down. I started with the spicy garlic edemame which he's a great kick of spice. I them had akani red tuma dashing and a flame roll. The sushi was perfect and the spice of the flame roll was squelch with my Nigerian sake! I could eat at the this place daily.“

“在美國的日本味道，這是算不錯的“

“Beyond the best Ramen in SF. It’s no wonder it’s always on the top 100 for the Chronicle. Michelin needs to review“

“I had lightly seared A5 wagyu nigiri which was heavenly! Also spicy black garlic ramen with a huge tasty tender piece of pork belly. Both highly recommended!“

“We had the most wonderful dinner tonight at Noren Izakaya! Everything was fantastic from start to finish! From the service to the cocktails to the variety of food, to the dessert! Japanese yakitori and grilled street food and even sashimi! My new favorite! A must if you live or are visiting San Francisco! Oh! And tonight is not the night to skip dessert! 😘“

“Bento boxes were great, so many options to chose from. Would definitely go back.“

“To me, this is one of those places where Happy Hour is truly, happy.
The food are great. The skewers are fantastic. Honestly, the best I've tried so far in SF. But again, everybody has different taste buds, so decide on yourself.
Not only the happy hour menu are great, but the regular menu too. I remember we've gotten the risotto, and the sukiyaki as well, they're both so good.
This place is definitely worth a repeat visit.“
