Nobori

I went here with a family member on a Thursday evening. It wasn't very full but there were still a few people and it was nice and quite. I ordered some ramen that was ok, maybe a bit overboard with the salt and my family member ordered the duck breast that was cold when it arrived the table.
The service wasn't anything out of the ordinary, the waitresses didn't really bother asking if everything was to our liking.
Price wise for the market in cluj is medium high for what you get.
What I liked most from the whole experience were the drinks, they used a japanese vodka I really liked the cherry taste and the finishing touches of a little dehydrated lemon and a tiny rose bud on top making it look like a floating lotus leaf.

The place has a very nice atmosphere, the service was great and the staff very polite, but I was disappointed about the quality of the food a bit.

Had the tuna steak but it had a really fishy taste/smell, they could have informed me that it's not very fresh and I would have gotten something else without any problem. Other menu items were excellent and very delicious.

The lower rating is mostly due to the quality of the dish that I got, as when going to any restaurant my expectations usually are that the food in the restaurant should be better than what one amateur chef such as myself could make at home.

It's a good place to have japanese food in Cluj-Napoca but not the best: the food had a flavour that was not so potent as it should be (the sushi was a bit bland, fish was not very fresh, but was not bad, it was cooked properly but you could taste the difference from a freshly cut fish, which can be served at another japanese restaurant in the city), the stuffing was in some types of maki and rolls flavourful, in others a bit mild for our palate. But the ramen was nicely done, the tea is good and the drinks are alright.

The pricing of the menu we had though was a bit steep for what we got, as the quality vs. quantity report was a bit off, with the quality being not on par with what i could get for the same money elsewhere in Cluj-Napoca.

All-in-all, it's a good place, but not the best, there are other places which beat the value of the ingredients used here, at much lower, and advantageous prices.

8/10 i'd recommend, but cherrypick your dish and garnish/es.

I came here to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday. The food we ordered was outstanding. The restaurant treated us to a cheesecake with a candle on top. Overall, we had a wonderful experience. Both the service and the food exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be returning.

Lovely service and atmosphere. The spicy seafood ramen wasn't very rich in flavour and the noodles were bland. The crispy kakiage wasn't oily at all which is a pleasant surprise. A nice place for a date night.

The food is tasty and the ambiance is warm. The restaurant has an Asian design. The only thing i would change is the music which is not in the theme at all, it is just daily hits and not Japanesse music. I suggest You to make reservation if You go in the afternoon to be sure. As pricing, for 8 pieces of sushi with Wasabi and soy sauce I payed 50 lei.

We had a great dinner in this place; the staff was welcoming and friendly, and the food was absolutely delicious. We had no expectations on the sushi platter, but ended up being pleasantly surprised. Nobori has ranked very high in our go-to places, especially when in the mood for sushi.
