If you need a quick trip to northern France, this is your place for the cost of the subway or a taxi ride. Great food, comfy room, and wonderful service.

My wife and I had celebrated an anniversary the first time we came here. We came to do the same tonight and the service was great. The food was delicious and fresh. We order two sushi sets and the caviar set, which we recommend. The cocktails are fun and refreshing as well. The space is also very pretty. We will be back very soon.

The Smith never disappoints! Haven’t been here in 4 yrs since moving to CA, and is as good as I had remembered. Was nice and quiet at 9:15 am on a cold Saturday morning, which was a nice bonus as the acoustics are usually not great when the restaurant is filled with people.

I took my Japanese mom to Noz Market for their Christmas Eve special omakase, and it was truly a 10/10 experience. Every course was so carefully considered, the fish was fresh and delicious, and the chef was so kind and lovely to talk to. This meal was one of the best Omakases I’ve ever had, and for the quality and overall experience the price made it even better. Definitely coming back!
