Nestled in a quiet corner of Tsim Sha Tsui, Nomu (meaning ‘to drink’ in Japanese) is an understated 18-seat sushi restaurant notable for its experimental approach to omakase by injecting more transparency and flexibility into the dining format. The straightforward menu offers three options each for lunch and dinner. For lunch, diners can choose from four or six courses, or a ‘Create Your Own’ option for those with budget or dietary restrictions. Meanwhile, the dinner experience is divided into a tasting, prix-fixe, or Chef’s Table omakase course, all of which use highly seasonal ingredients that are elegantly plated before serving, unlike the piece-by-piece style found at more traditional restaurants. While the highly seasonal nature of the menu lends the omakase experience an element of surprise, the Iwate oyster dish and fatty tuna and scallop sashimi were memorable highlights of the Chef’s Table menu. The sake offerings are formidable with over 100 sakes to choose from, while we appreciated the minimalist, Scandinavian-inspired interior designed by former interior designer and owner Ray Cheng.
