    It's a small intimate restaurant, and great for date nights. We opted for the 9 course tasting menu, where you have the option to go completely blind for all 9 courses or pick 1-2 dishes from the menu with the other dishes being blind. They also offer a 5, 14 and 21 course menus. My favorites were the caviar service, baja uni brûlée, and claypot caramel foie gras. The coconut milk for the grilled coconut sticky rice pops was light and delicious. The moon rabbit cocktail was also refreshing. However, some dishes were too salty. The homemade egg noodles were quite salty, especially when the noodles absorb the salty sauce. The sauce on the chinese broccoli for the crispy soft shell crab was slightly salty. I personally was not a fan of the salted chocolate mousse as I'm not a fan of chocolate. We specifically asked for the crispy soft shell crab, and crispy black cod, however, the kitchen ran out of cod (our server said it is popular with regulars), but we were not informed until we asked about it at the end. Service was great, attentive, and friendly. Overall, it was a great experience with wonderful service. The restaurant is small and mainly have tables for 2, counter seats, and only two tables for four. It is mainly street parking in the area.

    Wonderful service first and foremost followed by one of the more unique tasting menu experiences we've had! We opted for the 14 course tasting menu and left it all up to the chef as it was our first time at NNB. However I love the idea of being able to select specific dishes that catch your eye from their menu to incorporate into your tasting. This allows for each return visit to still be curated and unique! (also great if there are certain foods you tend to enjoy or avoid) Every dish was unique and flavorful - we especially loved the kabocha squash, crawfish, bone marrow banh mi, crispy cod and the chinese broccoli. Drinks were also fun and tasty, several mocktail options and nonalcoholic wines on the menu as well for those abstaining from alcohol. We went for my partner's birthday and as an extra sweet touch, they brought out a small pre dessert ice cream for him and a handwritten card signed by their staff members, which he loved! Thank you to the wonderful staff for a delicious evening, we'll definitely be back!

    Just wow! Amazing experience for any type of night - we went for my birthday and had a great time! We got there a bit early for our reservation and had to wait as a result to get seated which wasn't a big deal, albeit we did end up waiting past our time which was less than ideal. There was no real waiting area so we were asked to stand in the back near the bathrooms due to the tighter space. The ambiance overall was pretty nice - darker lighting and good decorations. Nonetheless, the night only got better from there after we got seated. Our server was friendly and super knowledgeable. The blind tasting menu changes portions depending on how many courses (less courses = bigger portions) so essentially any upcharge was paying for more variety. We got the 14 course blind tasting menu which we thought was a good mix of foods. You're allowed to put in requests for dishes, but ultimately the kitchen is deciding a majority of what you eat so every experience is unique. My personal favorites were the banh mi, sea urchin, and prawn dishes. Everything was well-paced in terms of service - nothing came out too fast or too slow. They were also super attentive with drinks and the messier plates came out with towelettes which was super nice. At the end of the meal, they also gave us some homemade sauce and tea - not sure if they do that for everyone or because it was a birthday celebration, but either way it was super kind of them. Overall, I would highly recommend this spot if you live in the area or don't have a car so the drive isn't too bad. The food was super fresh, tasty, and high quality. The service was also very good and the workers were super kind - thanks, Nightshade!
