Nomikai - Menu

Interesting Asian fusion place with food and drinks. Place really tries to be hip and clubby while the food is above average. Proposes interesting dishes like kimchi pizza and ends up perfecting nothing.

Drinks were pretty good. Chicken wings and fries have great flavor. Highly recommend. Wish the happy hour was a bit more extensive. Only a few signature drinks and starters are included on happy hour prices.

Drink volumes are pretty inconsistent. In my picture, the drink on the left is served after, and untouched. The drink on the right is the same and had already been drank, yet still has more than the new drink. View menu

Great location in downtown San Jose. But when we went on a Saturday night, how come the place was empty? The food was just okay. The service was good. A lot of the things on the menu was fried. We initially went for a Japanese whiskey flight tasting and stayed for the food. The whiskey tasting was fine.

Weekend reviews: There is usually no line to get and their Japanese old fashions and Lychee martini are delicious! That's probably why I always come back and I should order something else the next time. Not sure if we are lucky every time, but there is always a last open table for us. Beverages: 7/10 Service: 5/10 Vibes: 5/10 Price: 5/10

The Japanese Old Fashioned and Lychee Martini here are absolutely delightful! That's probably why I keep returning, even though I should try something different next time. While I'm not always completely satisfied, there's usually one last table available for us. Overall, I’d rate the drinks a 7/10, the service a 5/10, the atmosphere a 5/10, and the prices a 5/10.

I frequently visit this amazing restaurant because I absolutely love the unique atmosphere it offers. The staff is incredibly friendly and professional, and the service is impressively efficient. Naturally, the quality of the food is top-notch. I've dined here multiple times and have always been satisfied. The prices are reasonable as well. I highly recommend this restaurant to my friends and family.

Very attentive hostess, nice interior, music at a reasonable volume, not too crowded or empty. Hostess Lena kept coming back just in time to refill our glasses from the bottle of soju being shared at my table. (The mere fact that Nomikai carries soju is a point in its favor. These are the good things! The not so good: they were out of the soju we wanted (there were only two varieties available . They were out of the duck far popcorn. And the seven spice nori fries were dry, kinda stale, and generally boring. (McDonald 's fries are way better and far cheaper! So... skip the fries... and don 't count on anything you order actually being available! That said, the spam musubi was delicious, and...

I really wanted to come here for the Banh Mi pizza and it was good timing as there was a game on so the BF got to watch the game. Me – Food, Him – Game win-win. We got the pizza and it was pretty good. The flavors were good and I liked how it was more like a flatbread. We also go the kimcheese fries which were good as well. With those two items, we were pretty satisfied. Since we stayed long to watch the game, we ordered a couple of drinks to justify taking up our seats for so long. We got the mugi mule and the lychee martini, which were pretty good, but definitely pricey for what it was. I don’t know if it was just that day, but there was only one girl serving the whole place, until a secon... View menu
