The Ride-Along Report: First Takes From Last Night’s Dinner

"What It Is: A Japanese restaurant in Nomad where most things come on skewers Perfect For: Casual Weeknight Dinner, Date Night, Dining Solo This casual two-floor Japanese restaurant in Nomad is owned by the same people who run two Korean places we like a lot ( and ). Like those spots, Yakitori Nonono is both very good and very crowded. You can get a variety of things - from scallops to chicken hearts - on skewers, and there are other options like ramen, sushi, and meat and vegetable small plates. All six skewers we tried were great, but the meat and fish ones are a little hard to share, so plan to order a lot (they cost around $5 each). The Verdict: We liked everything we ate here. Yakitori Nonono is now on our Hit List." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg, chris stang, matt tervooren
