Delicious food; small location so there could be a wait. We signed our name and phone number on the paper in the front. They ran out of pad kee mao and pad see ew by the time we sat :( but my friends said it's the best they've had so I'll have to come back and try it! The pad Thai was soo good and saucy! Sometimes other places have pad thai that's a little dry but this dish was perfect. I don't usually opt for pad thai but I will 100% get this again. The mushroom fries are better than the corn tempura; we asked for spicy mayo on the side (it comes with plum sauce also). The lettuce wraps were also a hit! Nice and fresh veggie with crispy pork.

Food is pretty average. Decent, but nothing special. I ordered the beef kare udon. The beef was not very tender and kind of chewy. The udon noodles and curry tasted fine though. The appetizers were good but portions were kind of small. My friend ordered the khao soi which she said was very good. We felt very rushed during our meal because the servers kept trying to get us to finish up.

In this beautiful neighborhood of Bernal Heights, not only does the sunshine, the noodles here shine too. Text goes wya? Nutes what's that Noodz eating what noodles! When noodles is said 3 times in a sentence it's gotta be fuego and this place did not dissapoint. The establishment serves a Japanese/South E. Asian Noodle establishment with my personal favorite being the khao swei gai. I used to trek all the way to the east bay for this dish but no longer needed as this one in Bernal heights is just as authentic. The fried noodles on top makes it nastalgic and the quality of the fried noodles memorable. This is a local neighborhood spot. The shroom fries hit the spot to who would have thought fried mushroom and plum sauce went together.l and the batter was fried crispy. The service received was exceptional and above average. Tbh it felt like I was eating a bowl of noodles from Aunties house. Super authentic and yummy.

Very cosy interior here, not many seats so we were lucky that we could seat without a queue. Ordered a geso age which came with a lovely dipping sauce, the squid itself was quite chewy and the breading a bit floury in the mouth, not great but not bad. Squid pieces themselves are sizeabl I also got the chefs special kwuay teow with crab. It was nice but again nothing too special. I wanted it spicy but this is not a spicy dish but our server gave us some "special Thai spice" from the back (still not spicy but added a kick!) fantastic service The whole menu seems to be "fast food" dishes from Thailand and Japan, think yakisoba, pad Thai, pad see ew, ramen etc So nothing special but also it doesn't advertise itself as such, it's good food though closer to 3.5 for me

I wasn't really sure what to expect from a Japanese and Thai restaurant, but this place definitely exceeded my expectations! I came here on a Saturday for lunch. The inside is small, but it wasn't crowded. There are tables both inside and outside. Service was attentive and quick! The menu offers small bites, ramen, yakisoba, and Thai noodle dishes. There is also a drink menu with a wide selection of beer and sake. I ordered the mushroom fries and regular vegetarian ramen. The mushroom fries were the highlight of my meal. They were perfectly crisp and I especially loved them with the sweet plum sauce. I think that even a meat lover would enjoy these! The vegetarian ramen included fried tofu, which was surprisingly crispy on the outside. It provided a nice textural contrast. I opted for the regular soup, not the creamy soup. It was a little salty, but it was flavorful. The bok choy, bamboo shoots, and onion provided a freshness. Overall, I had a great experience! If you want to come without a wait I recommend lunch time on Saturday. I would love to come back to try their Thai noodle dishes and their corn tempura.

My experience at Nute's was nothing short of wonderful. Upon delving into their culinary repertoire, the highlights included their notably standout fried noodle garnish which impressively maintained a refreshing crispiness throughout the meal. The fried mushroom appetizer was another gem from their menu, deliciously prepared and set on the table visually appealing glazed clay plates. I'll definitely have to say that their food offerings are an enticing surprise, completely contrasting with their seemingly unassuming exterior - a delightful "hole in the wall." The staff's amiability added a wholesome touch to the whole dining experience at Nute's. Their cheerful vibes paired with their dedicated service made my time at the restaurant quite enjoyable. For drinks, Nute's presented a choice of refreshments which I found to be both fun and unique and the sakura mochi stout was indeed a genuine find. It was a refreshing drink choice that I haven't found elsewhere, adding an exciting twist to my already delightful dining adventure at the restaurant and also they had a great selection of various Choya plum wines also (though that tends to be easier to find) On the whole, Nute's seemingly humble exterior unravels to showcase a world of charming food choices, delightful drinks, heartwarming service and an overall simplistic yet cozy ambiance. I'd highly recommend Nute's to anyone who appreciates a laid-back dining atmosphere with a twist of delightful surprises.

Really amazing Thai/Ramen spot. All the dishes were delicious! The favorites were the Khao Soi Gai and the soba noodle with chicken! The ramens were good but not our favorite The spicy edamame were amazing and reasonably priced! Came on a Saturday at 5:30pm and waited 30 minutes for a table for 4. Small interior but fast service. They will ask you to leave if you stay past the check lol High chairs and booster available for kids:)

Vegetarian review alert ‼ Okay so Nute's was on my Yelp bookmarks for a while because it's super close to home and had good reviews. It has both Japanese and Thai food which is great. Here is everything my partner and I ate at Nute's Corn tempura with match salt and shoyu (3.5/5) : Matcha salt. Genius. I have a bias for matcha but whoever thought of putting it on a savory tempura. God bless. And the shoyu had something in it.. can't put my finger on it but to me it tastes like it had the kick of vinegar which was perfect with the tempura. Really wanted to try the squash blossom tempura but it was sold out so I'm guessing it's a specialty of theirs. Pad see ew (3.5/5) : My partner seemed to think it was the second best pad see ew he has ever had but umm. I love drunken noodle and I was a bit disappointed that they couldn't make a veggie version of pad kee mao so I was not in the mood to appreciate the pad see ew. Sorry. I did like the flavors.. very balanced and nice. The tofu chunks were a tad bit larger than I would have liked and had not soaked in the flavor of the sauce as much as I would have liked either. Vegetarian Ramen (4/5) : The broth was so understated and simple yet delicious. It had a tang and nice kick to it which made it stand out. Bamboo shoots were not from a can and were delicious. Now the fried tofu here ( maybe made in house? ) - I loved it. The tofu with that broth in my mouth were an absolute delight. I have been very generous with my score for the ramen just for the broth. Overall, good ambiance and quick service. Waited for about an hour on Tuesday night to get dinner. Would recommend trying this place out for anyone in the area.
