NOA Japanese Restaurant in Bristol, City of

I went here with a friend for a lunch break while visiting Bristol. It seemed quiet but we didn't realise that there were two other rooms, so it would be great for a group or a large party of people. Service was great, despite the fact that we couldn't use the QR code to order or pay. Staff were really friendly and didn't mind explaining the menu. We both chose the Sunflower bento box which turned out to be delicious. I've had Japanese style food from chain restaurants but this was so much more flavourful and different. I'd definitely go there again the next time I'm in Bristol. As an aside, I love the washbasin in the ladies!!

Went for dinner and had loads of unbelievable dishes would highly reccomend for authentic Japanese food. Especially would reccomend the tuna seaweed rolls aswell as the Katsu curry.

Great quality sushi which is hard to find in Bristol! We ordered on Deliveroo and they added an extra box of crispy tuna for free! Only negative to say is I thought the nigiri pieces were too large, but great tasting sushi and very fresh ingredients!

We went to this restaurant on a last minute dinner craving for sushi. All of the food was fresh, delicious and well presented! I would definitely go back. We also enjoyed the sake tasters. Thank you.

Agreeable small apparently Japanese-run restaurant in Waterloo Street, Clifton, in the heart of Bristol’s Chelsea. We enjoyed excellent salmon and tuna maki, salmon sashimi and a spicy salmon roll. The bill came to a reasonable £23.54 for two. Well done on the absence of intrusive ‘background music’. Recommended.

They add a 10% service charge which the unpleasant manager seems to think is mandatory. I asked if I could pay in cash as I wanted to give to waitress direct and manager got very funny with me. Food was ok, very overpriced. £5odd for a very small bowl of edamame beans, come on Izakaya much nicer food and friendlier staff

The food was incredible quality and definitely the tastiest in the south. Such a friendly hostess and beautiful atmosphere. Would highly recommend the prawn tempura roll… a must have!

Thoroughly enjoyed the food - sushi, sashimi, seaweed salad, teriyaki, noodles, everything was delicious. Not too crowded. Service was fast and efficient.

Just had a delightful lunch at Noa. Very authentic, cosy surroundings, helpful staff and delicious food. The parking was a pain but everything else was great.

We’ve just had the loveliest meal at Noa. The staff were so sweet and friendly! Nice food, quick service, good portion sizes!

Lovely service and quick delivery of dishes. Food was delicious as always, our favourite sushi in Bristol! Staff dealt very well with some amazingly rude customers on a nearby table. Please read menus properly and treat your servers well! :)

tempura prawns 1inch thick with batter- inedible. Asked for this to be removed from £110 bill and they refused! Not only that but then forced us to pay 10% service charge. Feel robbed of £17. No wonder there was hardly anybody in there on a Saturday night terrible customer care

Quality of food well below average, for the price they ask it’s not worth it at all… All of us got heartburn after the spicy sushi set ( we ordered the same) and were never offered water when we sat down. Also they mixed up our take away order… Not coming back…

Outstanding sushi. Truly excellent. I have recently got into the habit of ordering takeaways from Noa and I'm never disappointed. Highly Recommended.

Very very nice. Strange how quiet it was in there, as deliveroo after deliveroo arrived. Really friendly, good service and fantastic food. The sushi was fresh and everything was lovely. Had veg sushi board, crispy teryaki beef. YUM Would 100% come again very soon

We have eaten here a few times to get our ‘sushi fix’. The reviews are really mixed and I can’t decide whether it’s because customers are difficult or Noa has off days. Our experience today was excellent. Service was good, and food superb - what’s there not to like? The staff are Japanese, so culturally maybe less warm than Europeans but never the less hospitable. We regularly travel to South Africa where sushi is almost a staple diet and quality is difficult to beat, Noa produces equally excellent Japanese style cuisine. Maybe not the cheapest but you tend to get what you pay for. We happened to sit near the exit and not one departing customer didn’t comment to the maitre d’ on the excellent food. If you are a technophobe you may not like it as you need to scan a bar code and order via your phone but it works really well and is slick. I am critical of hospitality establishments that fail to deliver but can’t say anything derogatory about Noa.

Disgraceful customer service! The three of us ordered via the QR code as requested, but there was an error on my friend’s phone. When my friend called the waitress over to ask she was quite abrupt and started touching the screen (NOT covid friendly) When the food started coming out we quickly realised that my friend’s food had been ordered twice so she instantly told the waitress who only responded the kitchen had already cooked it and we would have to take it. We explained we did not want it, and would not eat it but she grew increasingly angry and aggressive with us and started insisting it wasn’t her fault, and that we ordered it so we would have to pay for it. Still shocked how much she argued with us, but eventually she agreed not to force us to have the extra food and then stormed into the kitchen and started shouting quite loudly we could hear quite clearly in the restaurant. The atmosphere after that was so tense and awful, we half expected her to try and charge us when we asked for the bill. Thankfully she didn’t but there was a laughable enforced “service” charge added -_- I simply didn’t have the patience to argue it, we just needed to leave at that point. Will never be returning, which is a shame because the food was nice. We’ve often ordered take out from here also but after what happened today we will no longer be giving them our custom.

¡Este restaurante japonés tenía los mejores sabores! ! Para empezar, pedimos sushi, sashimi y fideos udon de pollo, con pollo frito, bolas de pulpo y verduras en tempura. cada plato me voló la cabeza, terminamos hasta la última cosa a pesar de que todavía estábamos llenos por el desayuno. no hubo sabores desagradables, cada parte de nuestra comida se preparó cuidadosamente y se combinó con una salsa deliciosa única. Nunca aprecié realmente el sushi hasta que vine aquí. la experiencia en general fue tan especial, seguro que volveremos aquí.

Esperamos la comida durante 2 horas y media y ni siquiera llegó a juntarse sino por separado con al menos 20 minutos entre cada plato. Pedimos salsa de acompañamiento en numerosas ocasiones, pero nos ignoraron hasta que uno de nosotros se levantó para sacarla de la caja, pero nos enviaron con las manos vacías porque la señora de la caja solo "se ocupaba de las bebidas". El personal era extremadamente poco profesional, gritaban al cliente y entre ellos. También fueron muy despectivos con nosotros cuando cortésmente les pedimos algo. Cuando finalmente obtuvimos la mayoría de nuestra comida, les pedimos que cancelaran lo que no obtuvimos y estábamos listos para pagar e irnos, pero la señora se tomó al menos 30 minutos para tomar nuestro pago y cuando le informamos que no tomó el pago. platos que no recibimos de la cuenta nos gritó groseramente y dijo “es porque estamos ocupados, por lo menos despejé una mesa para ti cuando viniste”, básicamente diciendo que deberíamos estar agradecidos de tener una mesa cuando llegamos. También le pedimos que cancelara el cargo por servicio ya que no sentíamos que obtuviéramos el servicio que hubiéramos pagado, pero nuevamente el gerente nos gritó y no tuvo reparos en lanzarnos insultos en la cara. Si pudiera dar una calificación de cero, lo haríaEn general, fue estresante comer y no recomendamos este restaurante a nadie. No fue más que una pérdida de energía, tiempo y dinero.

Servicio pésimo. Las camareras son increíblemente groseras con los clientes y se gritan constantemente entre sí en todo el restaurante. Esto resulta en la eliminación de toda la atmósfera.La comida era normal, no cabe duda de que no es la calidad que esperábamos. La comida tardó una hora en llegar, pero aun así logró llegar antes que las bebidas a pesar de recordárselo a las camareras varias veces.Fue testigo de cómo la jefa de camarera exigía que una familia abandonara su mesa antes de que llegara toda la comida, ya que ella quería recuperarla.No volveré y nunca he experimentado una comida como esta.

Comí allí un miércoles. Teníamos una reserva para 7. 45 y no vi comida a las 8. 39 a pesar de haber pedido puntualmente. Cuando pregunté dónde estaba nuestra comida, nos dijeron que había 9 delante de nosotros. En ese momento nos íbamos a ir y dijeron que prepararían nuestra comida de inmediato. Cuando llegó el gyoza estaba tibio al igual que los otros supuestos platos calientes.La señora que dirigía el lugar parecía muy agresiva tanto con su personal como con los clientes.En resumen, no volveré, fue pobre y no valió la pena.

Hicimos una reserva por teléfono con una semana de anticipación, pero cuando llamé más tarde para confirmar la hora de la reserva, tuvieron dificultades para encontrarla. En lugar de seguir mirando, la respuesta fue simplemente colgar el teléfono en medio de la conversación. Efectivamente, cuando llegamos al restaurante no tenían registro de la reserva; el bloc de notas estaba un poco desordenado, así que esto no fue sorprendente. . . Después de mucho ir y venir, finalmente nos mostraron una mesa (y después de un poco más de ir y venir obtuvimos el número correcto de sillas).La gente estaba siendo movida durante toda la noche de manera constante, ya que claramente no tenían control sobre qué reservaciones se suponía que debían estar sentadas en el lugar, pero la forma en que se logró esto fue simplemente ladrando y ordenando a la gente que se levantara y se moviera, sin razón o disculpa dada.Tampoco hubo control sobre la comida y la bebida que salían: recibimos varias bebidas adicionales que no pedimos (pero se esperaba que pagaran), y el personal estaba literalmente corriendo por el lugar tratando de mantener las cosas en orden.Finalmente, después de pagar, fuimos perseguidos por la calle por el propietario y un miembro del personal (el mismo al que habíamos pagado con tarjeta literalmente 2 minutos antes), acusándonos de irnos sin pagar. Tuvimos que mostrar una captura de pantalla de nuestra aplicación de banca móvil para mostrar evidencia de pago. Es evidente que no tienen registro de quién ha pagado y quién no.Lo peor fue que la mujer que asumimos es la propietaria fue increíblemente grosera y poco profesional tanto con los clientes como con el personal; dejó a una camarera muy nerviosa después de gritarle en el medio del restaurante, no realmente aceptable.La comida no es lo suficientemente buena como para compensar la carnicería de cómo se maneja el lugar; solo lo recomendaría para llevar.

Tiene esto entregado a través de Deliveroo. Nunca probé aquí anteriormente. Todo entregado a tiempo y empaquetado encantador. La primera vez que probamos takoyaki (bolas de masa de pulpo) me gustaron bastante, un poco dulces. La tempura de gambas estaba bien, necesitaba una salsa. El sushi de salmón picante era bueno, un poco de picante. El pollo teriyaki estaba un poco empapado, pero esto probablemente se espera con una entrega, aunque sabía bien. El pollo goyza estaba delicioso. ¿Volveríamos a comer allí? Probablemente.

It’s Japanese restaurant with mainly sushi and not many choices for ramen and teriyaki mains. The food is tasteless and just smothered in soy sauce. Between the family of 3, we consumed two big bottles of water because we were so thirsty from the amount of soy sauce in all the food. There are plenty waitresses in the restaurant but they are mostly Uni students with no experience or skill in being attentive to customers and they were all busy rushing. There is also 10% service added to the bill which isn’t matched to the lack of service I received. I definitely won’t go back again!

We were struggling a bit to find somewhere to eat having not booked anywhere for our first night in Bristol. We found Noa and though we’d give it a go. The app ordering thing was a bit odd but soon got the hang of it. The good came quickly and was tasty and good quality. The salmon sashimi was melt in the mouth delicious and the scallop nigiri and the miso aubergine were also excellent. All in all and good experience. Thank you

Bear with me while I tell you the many reasons I’ve had to write this review. Encouraged to see Noa listed on the government ‘Eat out to Help out’ I booked via telephone to go last night (Tuesday) and when I showed up with my family we were told they were closed, and always are on a Tuesday! Disappointed we rebooked for this evening.We arrive and all is well. There is sanitiser on a table by the entrance and when my husband went to fill in the contact book for the ‘track and trace’ system we were told they’d bring the book to our table. Needless to say we didn’t see the book again during the two hours we were there. And the book was not presented or completed by any of the many people who came into the restaurant.We told to scan a code on our phones for the menu, once connected on their WiFi. It took over 10 minutes to get the WiFi to work. It kept dropping out. We finally managed to order and our food and drinks arrived very quickly.In the meantime the restaurant quickly filled up and many delivery drivers came and went collecting table aways.We soon discovered we had under ordered so tried to add more food, and drinks (it was 30 degrees with no aircon) but I was unable to get on the WiFi. We noticed many customers were also unable to order and the staff were handing out paper menus. But sadly orders were not quickly taken. I finally managed to get a waitress to our table and told her we weren’t able to get on the WiFi so she took our order manually.Then we waited, and waited. Over 45 minutes in fact. Whilst the two very stressed waitresses were being screamed at by the manageress. This manageress also went into the kitchen and screamed various things to the staff inside. Deliveries were coming out of the kitchen but little or no food for the restaurant clients.The poor waitresses were being overwhelmed with complaining customers and people were queuing outside for precooked tables. People were eventually bought in but sat at tables that had not been cleared or cleaned.After watching this comedy of errors for an age we asked how long our food would be and discovered the order had not been taken to the kitchen. So we asked for our bill in desperation to get out. Customers were walking out, some where told they couldn’t pay by card and had to go out and go out to get cash. My husband queued to pay while I waited outside with our daughter. We then saw the manageress with anger issues chase after someone in the street who refused to pay an extra £4.60 over their bill due to terrible service! My husband finally paid, by card!! and when he asked for his receipt he was refused one! I am convinced we were not awarded the government scheme discount and overpaid.The whole this was shambolic for service and organisation let alone any of the guidelines required for the Covid 19 pandemic.I would avoid at all costs!!!!!

Firstly I tried to book on the phone for just myself. The person who answered the phone, which I assume the manageress, very rudely shouted ‘no booking, we are busy’ and hung up. I was so crossed how rude she was. I would understand that they don’t accept a booking for just one person, but she could have said nicely. Then coincedentally a group of my friends organized a meal there and invited me, so I went along. The service was very slow. One of us didn’t order a starter, and she had to wait for an hour and a half for her food, while a couple who came before us received their food. When her food was finally served, only she found was that it was a wrong order, however she ate it as she was so hungry after waiting for so long. The food I had was teriyaki and it was not Japanese dish at all. I do not recommend to anyone to go there.

Found this place via trip advisor on a one night stay in Bristol (Clifton). Very welcoming with a brilliant ordering system - via a scan an order system sounds intimidating but quick easy and efficient - so much easier than trying to catch a waiter's eye. The staff were great however and very willing to help and give advice. The food was lovely we had (amongst other items) tuna Sashimi, vegetable Tempura, and crispy sushi - which was an absolute star. There were so many other things on the menu that looked great.

When St Nics market is doing better Japanese food than a dedicated restaurant, something is not right. The 'crispy' beef teriyaki wasn't crispy and the appetisers were average. Service was poor, the staff just look down all the down so they're never looking for people's attention.

The first thing to say is Noa has been around a long time. Lord knows how? As there have been many a night in days gone by when I passed this place and saw that it was deserted. But it has clung on - and now with a fresh lick of paint and brighter look to make it look a little more inviting, it warranted a new visit.Bravo to the chef. The food was excellent. The tempura was crisp, the sushi and sashimi was splendid, the seaweed salad perfect, and the main courses - I had the teriyaki beef - was excellent.The service is still a little patchy. The waitress tried to get us to order everything at the same time because "the kitchen was busy". I declined, as we were ordering quite a lot and we didn't want everything piling up on the table. Besides, we weren't in a rush. But overall it was a god experience. And we'll go again.

Thank you so much for staying open during this time. Absolutely love your food, since you’ve just being doing takeaways we were worried it wouldn’t travel as well but was absolutely 10/10 fantastic. Will be seeing you again soon, thank you!!

Comida muy normal; el cangrejo de caparazón blando tenía un 95% de masa y tenía muy poco sabor. Además de esto, el servicio era deficiente. El personal también insiste en un cargo por servicio del 10% que debería ser opcional. Solo después de 10 minutos de discusión y varias excusas bastante extrañas (el iva no estaba incluido, la necesidad de cubrir los costos de los cubiertos, la cocina permaneció abierta para nosotros, no es cierto) finalmente lo quitaron. El dueño también me dijo que me callara. Nunca volvería aquí.

Buena comida, pero el servicio no es profesional y mal entrenado. Cada vez que necesitábamos una camarera, teníamos que esperar al menos 20 minutos (esto incluye pedir un menú, ordenar, pedir la factura, pagar la factura y resolver un error en nuestra factura) o teníamos que levantarnos y Consíguelo nosotros mismos. Cuando llegaron nuestras bebidas, la camarera derramó la mitad de mi bebida, se disculpó, pero en lugar de reemplazar la bebida, se fue. No queríamos hacer un escándalo, así que no dijimos nada. Lo peor vino cuando pedimos la factura. Nos habían cobrado por un plato que habíamos pedido pero nunca llegamos, ocurren errores. Por lo tanto, solicitamos que se elimine de la factura. La camarera dijo que lo resolvería, pero en cambio regresó con uno de sus colegas. ¡Se pararon junto a nuestra mesa discutiendo entre ellos durante 10 minutos y luego comenzaron a CONTAR nuestros platos! ! ! ! Se fueron y volvieron para informarnos que el chef estaba preparando el plato. Dijimos que ya no queríamos el plato, solo queríamos que se corrigiera la factura. Corrigieron la factura y en ese momento solo queríamos pagar e irnos (habían pasado más de 50 minutos desde que pedimos la factura), así que fuimos directamente a la caja registradora. El gerente, aunque le dimos la factura corregida, ¡OTRA VEZ intentó cobrarnos por el plato perdido! Por cierto, ¡la factura incluía una tarifa de servicio! Era ridículo, pero lo pagamos de todos modos porque queríamos salir y nunca volver. Definitivamente no recomendaría este lugar.

La comida en Noa es increíble! Esa es la única razón por la que volvimos. Sin embargo, a pesar de que el personal de servicio fue educado, el gerente es extremadamente grosero y lo único que le importa es hacerle gastar dinero sin razón. Por ejemplo: una vez fuimos y pedimos comida que era más que suficiente y ella dijo que no era suficiente para dos personas. Afortunadamente, no pedimos más ya que no pudimos comer más. Esta noche, una vez más, nos preguntaron si queríamos algo más y cuando dijimos que no, la expresión de su rostro era irreal. Además, la otra cosa que no me gusta es que el personal nos miraba como si quisieran que nos fuéramos. Siempre me pregunto por qué el restaurante está tan vacío cuando la comida es tan buena. Bueno ahora lo entiendo! Hay que hacer algo ya que es una pena! Cambie su actitud hacia las personas que eligen comer en su establecimiento.

Very friendly staff in traditional costume, the rooms have a Japanese theme with Chrismas decorations. Excellent food with dishes which many Japanese chains or 'typical' Japanese restaurants may not have.

The food here was nice.. A couple of gripes about this place hence the 3 stars. We ordered 5 starters and 3 means and the waitress was advising us that this isn't enough food. I'm glad we didn't listed to her as it was more than enough, we couldn't finish it.The only serve Katsu curry during the day, yet when I called to book they advised me they have curries, on arrival they had no curries for an evening meal.The tempura prawns & gyoza was very nice...

Después de pedir 70 de comida para 2 camarera preguntó si no teníamos hambre, ya que ella sugirió que pedir más. Ella fue muy agresiva y grosera siguió pidiéndonos que pidiéramos más, luego agregó un diez por ciento de cargo por servicio incluso en la comida para llevar que compramos para mi pareja en casa. Ella fue muy grosera y se presentó para no entenderme cuando lo cuestioné y simplemente me ignoró y habló con mi amigo que tenía la tarjeta pagando la factura. Muy molesto y decepcionado no volveré

Una agradable y sabrosa cena familiar japonesa en Bristol, donde hay una selección limitada de restaurantes japoneses. Las comidas preparadas, sushi y sashimi, panecillos, tempura de gambas y teriyaki de salmón eran sabrosos y bien presentados, complementados con un refrescante té de arroz integral. ¡Noa es uno de los mejores restaurantes japoneses en Bristol si alguien busca replicar su experiencia culinaria después de regresar de ver el rugby en Japón! ?????

Food quality is good, sushis are fresh and nicely dished out (even if a little bit pricey compared to other restaurants providing the same level of quality). However, service needs a big improvement. Rude restaurant manager keeping scolding inexperienced waiter in front of guests and unkind attitude with customers wanting to choose their own seat in an empty restaurant at closing time.So I can’t recommend it. Having dinner outside is not all about food, politeness and conviviality matter a lot too.

I can never get tired of going to this place! Amazing sushi. Friendly staff. Good quality food for good price.

Probably the best place for Japanese food in Bristol. Excellent quality for sea food, and a good selection for drinks.

Food is nothing special, but nice and not too expensive for Clifton. Service is a bit hit and miss: sometimes it's really fast but other times it is painfully slow. Main problem seems to be that when they are short on staff, they keep doing takeaway orders. Staff got really angry with us when we suggested that we shouldn't pay the service charge as we waited for about 2 hours for our food.

The place was very authentic, the food and the atmosphere made us feel like we were in Japan. The food was an excellent quality and the service was extremely friendly and informative. Would definitely recommend you go to this restaurant for dinner.

A friend and I visited on a Monday evening for dinner. We had a lovely meal all the food was delicious we ate ALOT of sushi around 18 peices each!! It was all fab. The tempura soft shell crab was soooo nice.

Just went by from recommendation from the internet and I had such a great experience. Food was good and service was great too. I had a great time

He estado en Noa para el almuerzo, pero he estado en Noa muchas veces con un grupo de amigos.

The food here is excellent, everything is very fresh. I had an excellent Salmon tartare which was beautifully flavored and presented, along with tempura prawns with an incredibly light tempura as well as yellow fin tuna ceviche, beautiful ceviche sauce along with lovely seweed accompaniment.

Estoy en Bristol solo unos días y un amigo me recomendó este restaurante, todo fue increíble, la comida fue realmente deliciosa y el personal es encantador. Probé los mismos platos en Bath y sentí que necesitaba volver al NOA. restaurante antes de ir a casa

El restaurante no se sentía ocupado, pero el servicio realmente no era excelente, no tuvimos agua del grifo durante unos 35 minutos después de sentarnos. Pensé que tal vez les faltaba personal este día (sorprendiendo un martes), pero otras críticas parecen decir cosas similares. Los rollitos de sushi eran muy buenos, sashimi era bueno, pero no el mejor. En general, es un buen restaurante, buena comida, pero no lo recomendaría debido a un servicio negligente (lo cual no nos hubiera importado si nos hubieran dado una disculpa).

Cinco de nosotros reservamos una mesa en el restaurante Noa para la cena del viernes por la noche. Si bien no se pudo criticar, la noche se vio arruinada por el servicio extremadamente deficiente: ¡debemos haber estado sentados por lo menos durante veinte minutos antes de dar los menús!

Fabulous Japanese food with great service. After this meal you could be forgiven for thinking that you may come out onto a street in Tokyo! The whole meal was delicious, but the tempura prawns were incredible!

Good food but completely let down by service and atmosphere. We were sat late even though we’d booked and it was uncomfortably cold. The service was slow and we didn’t get our starters for over an hour. When my starter did finally arrive, my partner’s hadn’t and by the time I’d finished, his had only just come out. Throughout the night the rest of our food came randomly so we didn’t really eat together and on a couple of occasions I needed to remind them that we were still missing dishes. Delivery drivers came and were served before us. To top it off the food was expensive. In all I felt down, cold and hungry for what was meant to be a lovely romantic evening out. Very disappointed and would not recommend.

We made a booking for 7.30pm upon arrival we said we had a booking, without even asking for our booking details, they pointed to a table directly next to the main door. We asked if we could have a table away from the constant opening and closing with deliveryroo drivers waiting for a order pickup. What was the point in making a booking?

The atmosphere of the restaurant is great, with lots of interesting decor and a warm ambiance.

We have been looking for good sushi since we left Australia and this was hands down the best sushi we have had! Fresh, beautifully presented and a great price. You will not be disappointed.

We went with a big group of friends and had the best sushi! Many vegetarian friendly options available. I recommend the tuna tartare and the miso soup. We will definitely be coming back.

I was really struggling to find somewhere nice which was open on a Sunday evening. Found Noa Japanese and was a bit worried it might not be brilliant. But it was. The waitresses were extremely polite and friendly and the food was really delicious. One of our party asked if the puddings were pre-made by another company, before she ordered. The waitress looked surprised and explained that everything was made on-site, which included the green tea ice-cream. Recommendations - teriyaki everything, sushis, sashimis and tataki - I think that's how it's spelt. It was a delicious beef dish. Decor was quite simple and outside didn't look all that appealing - but we enjoyed our meal and would go again. Thank you. p.s. Website doesn't seem to be working - only a link to Deliveroo, because you can get food delivered...

Sure there was a tasty feast at Noa Janapese. The service was great and my favourite dish was the Takoyaki. Their yuzu sorbet was the perfect end to a wonderfully flavourful dinner!

They need to decide if they're a takeaway/deliveroo business or a proper eat-in restaurant because clearly they can't do both. It appears their priority is not for their eating in diners.

I’ve often walked past this restaurant not really giving it a second thought. Today however my wife and I fancied some sushi so went in to this Japanese/sushi restaurant for lunch and what a surprise. Delightful staff, excellent food great service. We had a selection of small dishes all of which were well presented and very tasty.

One Thursday evening I had a craving for Japanese food, my friend told me of a place that serves the best katsu curry EVER tasted so who was I to argue. Apon arriving the hostess greeted us warmly and sat us down at a table behind a Japanese screen with wonderful illustrations on.

Best Japanese restaurant in Bristol! Delicious sushi with a wide ranging menu. Reasonably priced and quick, attentive service. We had the brown rice tea, with hot water topped up for free. Delicious mochi balls for dessert. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Paramos para un almuerzo rápido. Gran servicio con una cálida bienvenida. Comida brillante, buena relación calidad-precio, especialmente los menús. ¡No podía creer cuánta comida teníamos! Pedí el tazón de salmón sashimi que estaba tan delicioso! Nunca he visto esto en un menú japonés antes y me encantó. Realmente comida de gran calidad y buena relación calidad-precio.

Food was really delicious and price reasonable. Service was excellent, very attentive and cleared dishes away quickly. Would recommend and definitely go again!

Me invitaron a unirme a un buen amigo en este restaurante de sushi. En general, el sushi no es mi primera opción, sin embargo, me encanta la comida asiática en general, así que estaba dispuesto a probar algo nuevo.

Acabamos de comer nuestra cena aquí. Tiene un gran menú con una fantástica selección de comida. Probamos muchos platos diferentes, los mejores fueron las rebanadas de carne cruda, rollos de arco iris y rollos crujientes. El servicio fue excelente, no tuvimos que esperar demasiado y la comida salió cuando estaba lista. Estuvimos allí solo una hora. Sin duda volveremos, hay un montón de sushi para probar.

Tuvimos un gran almuerzo de sábado. El restaurante estaba tranquilo, pero no dejes que eso te desanime. El personal es encantador y muy atento. Teníamos cajas de bento que eran de gran valor y excelente. La comida estaba muy bien presentada y el sashimi muy fresco. No he estado aquí en 10 años, pero definitivamente volveremos pronto. Gracias por una gran comida!

Acabo de visitar este restaurante para una cena de viernes por la noche con mi pareja. Vivió en Japón durante 2 años y estábamos ansiosos por nuestra visita. En primer lugar, el personal parecía muy distraído y desatento. Cuando visité a las damas, pude oír cómo el personal se gritaba desde la cocina. No es muy relajante. El ambiente se sentía sofocado y los camareros estaban nerviosos. Nuestra comida llegó en momentos diferentes, por lo que no pudimos comer juntos y no se nos preguntó si la comida estaba bien. El plato que mi compañero pidió era un plato chino, no japonés. Nos dijeron que estaban cocinando para el "sabor europeo" cuando los desafiamos. Cuando cuestionamos la comida, el personal se puso histérico. No es una buena experiencia y, lamentablemente, nunca volveremos a visitarnos y le recomendamos que no pierda su tiempo yendo allí.

Had a fantastic meal of a variety of hot and cold dishes - sushi, tempura calamari, beef teriyaki, squid balls, sashimi and seafood noodles. Food came out quick (although the restaurant was quiet) and the staff were very attentive, taking great care of us. Some of the best tuna sashimi I've ever had! It isn't cheap but definitely worth it! Would love to eat here every week if I could!

I was in Clifton and Saw this Japanese restaurant.Very good food and servicie.Will come back when in Bristol again

This is the first time me and my husband have tried sushi and we have tried yo sushi and didn't enjoy it however the food at Noa is amazing and we will be going back very soon. Lovely little restaurant and their sushi is great. Staff are very friendly and great service. Thanks for a lovely evening.

Best Japanese food in Bristol no doubt.... I have tried all of them several times, but noa defenetely n1. Fresh food, generous portion, best rice, best sushi and great food in general. Warm , welcoming and relaxing atmosphere .

A local favourite of ours. Really friendly staff, beautifully fresh seafood, a great 'date night' location. Recommended.

Came here for the first time last week and we were both so so impressed. Service was great, all lovely staff! And the food was incredible. Best sushi/fish I’ve ever had, and I’ve been to a few places ! Highly recommend.

We like coming here, it's a refreshing change from the usual chinese and Indian restaurants in the area. We have always had really good sashimi and tataki. The fish is fresh and second to none. The staff are friendly too.

My friends and I were craving for Japanese food, and we found Noa on the internet. We arrived at the restaurant around 7PM, we mentioned that we did not make any reservation, therefore I assume that the service prioritized the reservations over the drop-ins. The waitress mentioned that the food would take up to 30 minutes before we would get served. After ordering, we waited one hour. No food. Two hours, no food. It was a bit weird because the restaurant was barely full, so how can The dishes arrived one by one, which annoyed us because we couldn't start eating together. The waitress messed up our orders as well, and we did not get everything we ordered. Nevertheless, the staff was kind and the food was excellent. The waiting time was a huge turn off; If this is due to shortage of staff, it is totally understandable. But I do not think that I would come back after this experience.

En Bristol. Tanto el trato del personal como la comida, muy buenos.

Pur essendo sempre un Giapponese, gestito da Cinesi, per me é il miglior ristorante Giapponese a Bristol.

I went to Noa for a casual meal with friends and it really didn't disappoint. There was a calm and relaxed atmosphere on arrival, and the staff made us feel really welcome, and had plenty of recommendations for the best things to order. I tried; prawn gyoza, avocado maki, soft shell crab rolls, and beef teriyaki. The avocado maki is always a firm favourite but I highly recommend the crab rolls, they were delicious. If you like sushi and you're in the Bristol area this is a must visit.

Been several times but my first time writing a review. Brought several groups of friends here and never had anything but a 5 star experience. Consistently wonderful food and friendly attentive service. Great sake selection too.

I have been at Noa a few times now and I really have enjoyed all the different dishes I have tried. They are full of flavours without being heavy. I always go away satisfied. And the staff is very nice too, which adds value to the place. I should add they have also brown rice tea which makes te whole meal healthier.

I visited Noa last night for the first time following in from a recommendation and was really impressed. We went for the set menu B and could not fault any of the dishes. The tempura and chicken karaage came out fresh, piping hot and tasty. The sushi and sashimi were fresh and delicious and the black miso cod was melt-in-the-mouth and to die for. It ended with a seafood udon noodle dish - just perfect. The service was great too. I’d definitely go back.

The food was wonderful - we’re big sushi fans so we’re not hard to please in a Japanese restaurant. I highly recommend the crunchy rolls and spicy rolls - a nice authentic spin on usual sushi. Not too pricy either considering it’s in the middle of Clifton.

The restaurant is great for value. My friend's Japanese acquaintance recommended this place and it didn't disappoint us. Soft shell crab roll and the classic roll have become our default sharing menu. The manager of the restaurant and the chef are very nice and we often get complimentary. I think it is a great value eatery.

Ran into this place on a night visiting clifton. Lovely restuaraunt with tasty food and very friendly service.

So pleased to find this place. It is defiantly worth the money and the trip from Bath. The tempura batter the best I have had in a restaurant in this country and really nice to see you can have four or eight pieces of rolls so you can try lots of different types. Can’t wait to return with our kids who love sushi next time. Great to see trip advisor reviews are in this restaurant accurate a fabulous place great service and amazing food. Thank you Noa, will spread the word around you deserve to be successful with the kind of food we experienced today x

Excellent place which serves up some excellent Sushi. Had a few drinks at the cocktail bar first before then enjoying an excellent selection of Sushi, sashimi and noodles. Also some really good tapas.

my daughter and I have been to Noa three times in the last month because we just can't resist going back! the food is delicious and all tastes extremely fresh. Our favourites are the tempura (perfect batter, light and crisp), the crunchy rolls and the soft crab rolls. but all the other dishes we have tried are also good. Each time we have been, the same waitress has served us and has been friendly, attentive and efficient. Thank you for three very good lunches - we will be back!!

Visited when the restaurant was about 60% full. We waited 40 mins to even get drinks and when they were brought eventually we begged for the lady to take our food order but she wouldn’t. Then a table next to us who had only been there ten minutes received their drinks.

I'm going to say in no way is the food bad, overall the food prices and service is definately 4.5/5. My main issue was the meal I had, was more like Chinese food than japanese. Not a bad thing at all just at the time not what I was wanting. (Also the manager lady was speaking chinese to the staff, as I speak japanese and Korean and I couldn't do my normal listening in. Which would lead me to believe the chefs might be chinese as well)

A brilliant restaurant with fresh, super tasty food. The environment is cosy and staff are friendly. Definitely recommend!

Story short, best sushi restaurant in Bristol, the only thing they should improve is their ramen variation and quality

Primera experiencia en mi segunda etapa en Bristol. Tanto el trato del personal como la comida, muy buenos.Edamame, sashimi, tuna, salmón, etc todo muy recomendable.

Nice place, friendly staff who coped well a visiting group of lively Japanese guests who were confused by some interpretations of Japanese food. Not fantastically authentic, and too much sugar in the sauces used across a number of different dishes.

Food super amazing plusplus mega alpha tasty. Very friendly staff! great ambience! Now offers vegan vegetarian stuff because that's the trend.

Absolutely amazing food. Presentation was perfect, service was prompt and extremely courteous. Thoroughly recommend.
