Hai Noon

A nice surprise! I don't think I was quite expecting this place to be what it actually is, a hidden gem! I had saved this place in my bookmarks to go when I got a chance to. Today was the day, and tapas style food sounded good so we came here tonight. The service was great! Loved the ambiance. I really loved that it's hidden inside a motel. At first we were confused but I just love the hidden gem aspect of it. Beautiful dimly lit atmosphere. The food was excellent. We got a couple different things. The sea bream and the porkbelly bun was oh just so delicious! They were all very unique which I thoroughly enjoyed. Definitely love to be back again soon!!!

Very interesting that there were only 8 people in the restaurant but they state that they were full? We couldnt even sit at the bar cause they said reservations are all taken

Really nice ambiance, good staff, unique flavors. The absolute star of the night for me was the ceviche - citrusy tang, high quality fish, and a crunch from fried taro topper. The staff were kind and helpful. The fritter dessert was bland and a slight letdown after a flavorful meal. I think it's a place everyone should try at least once! However, it's fairly pricey and small portioned so I don't think it's going to be a place we frequent.

Probably my favorite meal on our 18 day trip to Arizona. It's pricey, but totally worth it. And get a reservation, as the restaurant is quite small. The format of the meal is small plates, which you share. The staff is great about helping you order the right amount of food. They do have an omakase menu, but you need to reserve in advance. Also, I would suggest an earlier reservation as they do have limited quantities. The trade off is that the food (especially the fish) is extremely fresh. Delicious cocktails and food at a cool little unassuming spot.

Delicious! We've been here twice and the spoons are to die for. The only thing is they are quite pricey and over in one bite. We got the sesame cocktail which was amazing! The vibes at the bar we think are much nicer than the actual dining area which is very bright.

You know what feels icky? Discrimination.A group of my diverse gal pals and I walked into this bar and immediately you could feel a cold breeze coming from the staff. They asked what we needed and we just said we were coming in for drinks with our group of 12. They said we don't have a table for that and we shared we could break up into smaller areas. Their response, at the bar, was that they couldnt just have us standing around. So again we repeated we would be happy to break up into tables and bar seats. They then said there was no way they could accommodate us. The guy said they had too many reservations and they would need to have us out in 30 minutes. I said that's perfect we hope to just have 1 drink. The response then changed to our kitchen can't accommodate you. Immediately I was confused bc why do you need the kitchen for drinks!???They then turned and walked away so we then felt we had to leave . Note: the bar was half full, the tables in the main bar were about 40% full, and the main room had 1 table full. See photo. For an area that has so many great spots, I would recommend trying everything else first. No thank you.

I came here for my birthday and was blown away by the food. We are from Toronto and this was the one meal in Scottsdale that really stood out and wow'd us. I would easily come back if I am in Scottsdale again. A few of highlights: - Mushroom pasta (my boyfriend doesn't like mushrooms, but was our favourite dish of the night)- Carpaccio (tastes so good, smelled amazing, the bread at the end was a great touch) - Soft shell crab rice noodles (the texture of the noodles were so silky) I wasn't a huge fan of the chicken nanban. And was also really disappointed with the dessert which was an avocado ice cream and fritters. Service was really good throughout the night. The restaurant is cozy and romantic. We were surprised what gem this place is hidden beside a hotel inn.

The food is delicious and flavours were unique. A great experience dining here and would definitely come back. The quality of ingredients is fresh and you can taste the difference. Service was smooth and friendly. Bar and dining area, right night to an inn. There's valet parking available.

Apparently this is the same owner as Nobu teeter House which was closed years ago. I'm glad they are still alive and thriving here at Hai Noon. This is inside the Papago Motor Hotel. Parking is quite small. The feel of this restaurant is also small but quaint. Service is great as they filled our waters as the right moments. The ambience is a dimmed note. We ordered a quite a bit of foods such as:Special menu:- Japanese Yams $10- warm, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, salsa verde, goat cheese and cool pickled fresco - this combination is delicious. - carpaccio $24 - white fish with garlic and ginger and yuzu kosho and sizzling sesame oil for a slightly seared taste. - pork belly mushroom and rice $32 - some of the pork belly was nice and soft. Some was not as soft. - chicken nanban $21 - two wash ranch chicken with egg salad and pickled peppers slivered slices. This is a solid dish. Menu:- Pork belly bun $10- some of this pork belly was a bit over overcooked. Comes with some cucumbers in a pillow white bread. A staple. - soft shell crab and rice noodle- $18 panko breaded soft shell crab with rice noodle that had a crispy texture to it and nuoc mam sauce. Tasty. - tuna $20 - this is pan seared with roasted beets puree Pinot noir reduction sauce. I love this combo. -oyster $18 - with tomato water reduction, mascarpone, wasabi oil- grapefruit avocado $18- hamachi with grapefruit and avocado. For some reason this had a yuzu taste to it but it was so good. - ceviche $18 - kampachi with shiso, mayoga and taro chip which gave it a good crunchy texture. I loved this one too! Everything was to my liking for the most part. Would like to come back and try the omakase!

Loved everything about this place. Friendly, professional staff helped answer questions about the menu and guided us to order the right amount of plates. The food- amazing. Each dish was beautiful, flavorful, full of color and texture. Impossible to pick a fave. Recommend coming with a group that likes to share. Next time, would reserve a table in the bar area- great vibe. Recommend.
