10/10 wouldn’t go. They employ Brendan O’Connor. He’s posting all over how he wishes the bullet didn’t miss Trump.
You guys should hire better employees.
Their employees wish Trump would have been assassinated.
"Hopefully it won't just be an attempt next time" -Brendan O'Connor (Crispy).
Everything. This is not just going to dinner. This is a dining experience. It’s a small reserved venue. Yes it’s spendy, but worth every penny. You’ll try food you never thought you try. The mostly seafood menu it so well prepared. Plus you can watch the prepared each course. A fun night.

Nodoguro offers an exceptional and intimate dining experience with a precisely intentional omakase menu that showcases culinary artistry. The 2+ hour, 15+ course meal takes diners on a taste and texture adventure, with each bite being either sublime or a new experience. The dinner lasts about 3 hours, providing a unique experience where diners are never hungry and never full. The service is outstanding, with knowledgeable and kind staff creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere among the limited seating of around 15 people. Chef Ryan and his team excel in both the kitchen and front of house, making the high price and advance reservations worthwhile. The artistry, expertise, vision, and execution of each dish are extraordinary, making Nodoguro a must for food lovers. The social dynamics of dining closely with strangers adds a personal touch, but be prepared for a nearly four-hour endurance activity that requires an open mind and a willingness to embrace a new culinary adventure. The hosts are amazing, creating a welcoming and educational environment while presenting each incredibly tasty course. The saké and wine pairings are thoughtfully curated, enhancing the meal's enjoyment. This is not just a meal; it’s an experience that feels like home, perfect for special occasions. Wear stretchy pants and come hungry!
