Book NowAbout Nodaya Dining Bar
Tucked off the street in Pyrmont, Nodaya Dining Bar pairs deep Japanese whisky shelves with late-night bowls. Owner Noda keeps the room cozy, moody, and set to low-key music. Drinkers flip through pages of Japanese whisky—including a house-made pour—alongside balanced sakes and specialty spirits. The kitchen bypasses sprawling menus for a tight run of bar snacks and small plates. Regulars single out the tuna tartare, spicy curry pan, octopus, and savory mentaiko. Past 10 PM, the kitchen rolls out bowls of hot ramen—the textbook shime after an evening of slow pours.
- Deep Whisky Curation: Pages of rare Japanese bottles, regional sakes, and an in-house whisky blend poured in a relaxed room.
- Compact Bar Plates: A focused kitchen lineup featuring curry pan, octopus, tuna tartare, and balanced mentaiko plates.
- After-10 PM Ramen: A dedicated ramen service that rolls out after 10 PM to cap off late-night drinking.
