What User dislikes about Nom:
Extremely arrogant, I just found this restaurant on google map and entered, after noticing that I did not make a reservation, his act was like I was guilty because of it and was banned from entering the restaurant. I am very curious about whether I was served by them or I was serving them. Really ridiculous… View all feedback.

Really love the atmosphere there. Vinegard mackerel is what i have been finding for years and finally I get to eat it in Syd! I would strongly recommend karage,omelet and vinegard mackerel.

Wonderful tasty home style food, friendly customer service with a welcoming attitude every time. My go-to place when I feel like a warm sake and delicious Japanese tapas. I always get the gyoza, rice balls, sashimi combo, nom salad, egg roll.

So delicious. It was really busy when we arrived, but we scored a seat at the counter overlooking the kitchen. We actually really enjoyed sitting there and watching the ladies work. All of the food we ordered was outstanding, but the two highlights were the pickled mackerel and tuna sashimi with nato. Great place for pescetarians (as you would suspect), but not so much if you're full vego. Our bill was $80 for two, with a couple of beers.

Absolutely loved the authenticity and the staff at this little hidden izakaya!! This is probably the most authentic izakaya I’ve been to in Sydney. The staff are very friendly and very welcoming. The food are quite pricey for the portions, but it’s the experience and vibes you’re here for mainly not the food. I recommend the tempura okra, tempura eel and the tamagoyaki. The tamagoyaki was so fluffy with the right amount of sweetness would’ve definitely ordered seconds if my stomach able to fit it!

Tucked away in a small corner in Darlinghurst, Nom is a small bar/restaurant offering an assortment of small bites and sakes. We ordered the wagyu asparagus, dried squid, gyoza, agedashi tofu and chicken soft bone. Each dish lovingly made but more izakaya style portions so you’ll need to order more if you’d like to get full. We didn’t order the sake this time but the selection on offer seemed very impressive!
