NOMIYA Japanese Tapas & Bar is a Japanese restaurant at 484 New N Rd in Kingsland, Auckland, with a Google rating of 4.6 from 151 reviews. Customers often mention the scallop sushi, the geso karaage and the omakase nigiri, and one reviewer praised the sushi rice for its red vinegar seasoning.
Japanese tapas places are best approached by ordering several small plates, so that more dishes can be tried in one visit. Sushi should be served at a comfortable temperature, and the rice seasoning matters as much as the fish. Omakase-style nigiri suits a diner who wants the chef to guide the order, though it is worth asking how many pieces are included. Happy hour and sharing plates tend to suit a relaxed evening with friends.
For an evening of small plates and sushi in Kingsland, it is a well-reviewed Japanese spot on New North Road.
