Nomi 81 Izakaya

Really nice vibe next to the river. Food quality and portion is great! Will come back

This Izakaya is outside and cozy camping concept. Food is nice and I love this mood. Very enjoyed great time here.

Great local Japanese restaurant with the perfect location on the river with Landmark 81 in view. The food was great - lots of choice from hotpot (never tried) to yakitori and dumplings. The price was very reasonable for what you get. Lovely staff who make you feel welcome & service is fast, so maybe order a couple of dishes at a time!

Nomi 81 is located strategically on the other side of Saigon river, offering diners almost unobstructed view of HCMC CBD area. From here you can see the Landmark 81 and other high buildings in the city centre. That is the most unique feature of the restaurant. The open concept also gives diners a lot of space to enjoy. However, it makes the dining experience most ideal for small groups rather than a big gathering. We came on Friday and there was live music. The music choice could have been better, and the sounds could have been less loud so that we could feel more comfortable with speakers projecting at us. The restaurant features izakaya slash tapas cuisine styles, with a lot of small dishes for sharing. The foods were tasty and raw materials were fresh. I just feel the menu can focus on some signature dishes or special dishes rather than a long menu. In general, I had a good time and really enjoyed the foods here. It is for special occasion with friends and families.

River side Izakaya. Great views and even better food. Good quality and friendly service. Definitely recommend!
