Nomiya Izakaya & Sake Bar

salmon pieces were plenty and sauce was generous too. loved it, rate 9/10 good ambience and vibes for evening drinks too

if you're looking for decent japanese food in chinatown! we had the truffle chirashi don ($22) and aburi salmon don ($20). the truffle flavour was v present but not overpowering. portions of fish were decent & pretty fresh. the aburi salmon had yummy mentaiko that made the dish tasty. after 1 for 1 and ++, we paid about $28. recommend! 👍🏻

Nomiya Izakaya @nomiyasg offers several dons and small bites, and they are all of great quality!

The Truffle Chirashi Don ($20 1 for 1 with #burpplebeyond ) came in a rather large portion, and they were very generous with the sashimi quantity too! The Chirashi don came with pieces of salmon, tuna, hamachi (I think) and they were all so fresh 😍 the rice was fantastic as well, as it had the right amount of vinegar and truffle oil without making it too surfeiting. The wasabi is also the freshly grated version. At its price point even without burpple beyond, it's definitely worth it.

The portion of Brussells Sprouts ($8.90) may be small, but each piece was packed full of flavour. The pieces were very well charred, as the smoky aroma was very strong without being bitter. The kombu butter used gave so much richness and fragrance that it was too addictive! Wished that they gave more 🥹

Now this is one izakaya that I will be back again and again!

Place is quite easy to locate set within a dim bar ambiance instead of a bright place for brunch.

Food was so-so only… one would visit more for the ambience.

Quite average tasting for a restaurant-styled location, the service staff sounded like she was chasing us a little on a weekday afternoon lunch.

Tasted more like aglio olio. Portion is small. A little oily.
