Great food and they had several gluten free options and were knowledgeable about what was GF.

I admit that I slept on this place when it first opened. I was expecting a lower price point and more "bar food" and instead it's authentic/elevated Japanese and worth every dollar. The menu changes all the time so you can always try something new.

This place is peak capitalism. Food is meh. No refills on fountain sodas . Small portions. Mediocre taste. Great presentation but that’s it. I’m sure the fresh college grads will love spending 12 dollars on two meatballs.

Update: looked like a one-time fluke. Have been back twice now, and everything was great
Everything was overly salted. I like salt. But all the dishes were overdone

Located inside the Veil Brewery. There are not a lot of options but unique items. Got some Udon Noodles and Kimchi fries. My buddy got the Korean fried chicken. You make your order and get a buzzer. Not cheap. The food was really tasty. Order at the bar. Lunch drink options, not alcohol are limited. The place is massive. Lots of seating areas. Few Tv's throughout. Very cool vibe, neon light, and rather out of place stuffed animals. They're cool, though, especially the bear and Zebra. Would come back for lunch again.

Didn't know what to expect, but was very pleased with the wings, chicken sandwich, and cured salmon. SO flavorful.

Nothing better than charcoal grilled food with chefs who love what they do!

Another Asian "styled" restaurant that seems to blend various Asian foods and sell them at an inflated price to locals that don't know better. Karaage is not dry rubbed wings or French fries. The actual karaage is sold either as part of a big fried chicken platter that costs $55 or on the kids menu more or less as "nuggets." The kimchi fries have nothing to do with Kimchi and aren't seasoned to taste like Kimchi. The salmon poke bowl topping was fine but the rice was hard as a rock and must have been days old. Offal skewers for $12+ dollars? I'll never understand why people would pay the same price as a burger for organs on a stick. You could eat your fill of yakitori for under $20 at a real Yakitori restaurant, but not here. The food itself tasted fine but it's limited and expensive. The service was bland and bartenders quite obviously seemed to be avoiding interacting with customers or stoned to high heaven lol. Just another Richmond establishment that is more about vibes than substance.

Was excited to try Nokoribi as I am a HUGE fan of the food from the Forest Hill Veil location (Y Tu Mama) but I was extremely let down. The menu online had great options, which is what originally enticed me to go, but I was disappointed when I was told that the menu online is out of date and most of the items were unavailable. Was really looking forward to the kimchi fries and cucumbers no longer offered. Instead, I ordered the Asian inspired egg salad which lacked any flavor at whatsoever and the brussel sprouts which were WAYYY too salty to eat and didn’t have much other flavor. Definitely wouldn’t recommend or go back.

I was skeptical but everything was really good with surprising touches, although not super authentic. The karaage was some of the best I've had in the US. Excellent fresh but also held up well in the takeout box after 15 minutes. The chicken skewer looks plain but has a PERFECT springy texture and charred flavor. Tofu soup was great, using fried silken tofu which is rare. Prices are good for the portion size.
