Tokyo Noir felt like a classy bar more akin to New York than a Long Beach alleyway. Between 5 drinks and 2 appetizers, nothing fell short of expectations, and most exceeded them. The service was intimate and engaging. The ambiance was unique and hard to find in this part of town. I thoroughly enjoyed the small capacity and do not like an overcrowded bar. It was classy and elegant - perfect for a date. I will definitely be coming back (if I can get another reservation, that is).

Although I’m a regular and don’t really like trying new chefs today i had a wonderful experience with chef CINCO. Very nice and well mannered chef. He cooked the food very well and also kept us entertained. Only issue i have comes from another party at the next table giving the chef a hard time and making the other guest uncomfortable. He cooked the food very well didn’t second guess anything i asked for and engaged in small talk. If i could give him 10 stars i would he was that great and I’ll enjoy his food anytime of the day. Go chef CINCO!!!!!

The vent at the tepan table we were on wasn’t working so all the smoke was in our face. Other than that the cook was awesome and food was good.
