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! 😘
