NORI - Modern Izakaya · Restaurant · Saigon
A modern izakaya on Ly Tu Trong pouring sake and grilling skewers until 2am.
NORI - Modern Izakaya launched in January 2024 as a modern take on the Japanese izakaya, the drinking-and-eating house where the food is built to keep pace with the pouring. It sits at 114-114A Ly Tu Trong in Ben Thanh Ward, District 1.
The design works modern lines together with traditional detailing, and the seating range is wide, from two-tops for a pair through to private VIP rooms for a group. The room runs late with music and entertainment programming, and it takes private party bookings for year-end nights, birthdays and group events.
The kitchen covers sashimi, sushi and rolls, charcoal skewers, and stir-fried, grilled and steamed plates, with salads, rice and noodle dishes filling out the list. Named plates include wagyu steak with a Japanese-style sauce, grilled scallop with mentaiko mayo, fried soft-shell crab with nori tempura, octopus with wasabi, a seafood rice bowl, and yakitori chicken skewers with udon noodles. Sake and cocktails run alongside.
Service starts at 18:00 and runs to 02:00 every night, so the late dinner and the drinks after it happen at the same table. That makes it as much a nightlife room as a restaurant, and a group that wants to stay put for the evening is the right fit. Send your date, arrival time and party size through the request form on this page, and flag it if you want a VIP room.
