Tried Nonbei for the first time tonight for my belated birthday dinner. Got the $95 Deluxe Buffet and was not disappointed. Now that I’ve done it once and have a better idea of portion sizes and timing, I’ll get better at making the most of our 1.5hr sitting. The sides were good, the meat was excellent. Will do again. Would recommend.
