I’ve driven pass by Nojo so many times. Finally after circling the Hayes Valley neighborhood for more than 30 minutes for parking, I found my way at this izakaya. The menu choices are limited compared to other izakayas so don't come here starving! My dining buddy and I ordered two chicken sticks but the size of the same part of chicken was abnormally inconsistent. One was definitely bigger than the other. Even after ordering multiple tapas, including the fries (as a carbo filler) and a dessert, which was the largest sized dish of all, I was still hungry. Because I am almost always hungry, I would rather visit other izakayas in town, such as Sozai, Roku and Yuzuki.
