Fun employees! I really felt like my friends and I can let loose. Great drinks and all smiles! I walked in because they had a sign for happy hour from 5:30-8:30!! No where else in San José did they offer this! Daniel, and Amanda were so helpful with helping select drinks. Derrik was a nice gentleman and always had us smiling. Please come here if you want a fun friend ambiance! Well chosen team! Will come back when in the area!

The service here is top notch. Customer service at its finest. Happy hour 5:30-8:30 tues-sat. Whiskey Weds. Is perfect for a business meeting or a couple to have an intimate moment & punchbowl Thursdays are a great time with a group of friends. FRIDAYS & SATURDAY NIGHTS ARE JUST AN UNBELIEVABLE TIME LOUD MUSIC, DANCING, FOOD, DRINKS AND GREAT TO SOCIALIZE WITH AMAZING PEOPLE. ..5 STARS +++++

Weekend reviews: There's usually no line to get in and their Japanese old fashions and lychee martini are delicious! That's probably why I keep coming back and I really should order something different next time haha. Not sure if we get lucky every time but there's always like one last open table for us. Drinks: 7/10 Service: 5/10 Vibes: 5/10 Value: 5/10

A nice little spot in downtown San Jose. We had a few starters, pizzas and drinks. The best and most impressive was the pizzas. We ordered the five-spice duck pizza and the pork banh mi one, which were very creative and of great fusion taste. Beers and cocktails were also good while the cocktails were a little bit overpriced in general. Overall a good experience!

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 second one came to help her out at least an hour later. Because of that, the service was kind of slow, but she was a really good waitress. Overall, they have good Asian Fusion bar food and drinks and a chill place to watch a game. Make a reservation though as they don’t have a lot of seating.

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.

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 Lena is definitely a credit to the establishment. I would probably go again... but it's not my new go-to spot ;)

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.

Came here to visit my cousin. We came for drinks. Even though we just finished dinner, we still ordered the chicken wings. So glad I did!!! They were so good! The chicken wings were still crispy and they weren't overly dressed with the sauce. Still juicy and had a nice kick. Perfect! Service was great and the waitress that helped us was so nice (and pretty). I had the tom ka, the mule, and a couple of shots. Standard prices for drinks. Will definitely come back to check out the rest of the 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.

This place is hit or miss. I've come on the good days and the bad days. The food is good, I liked korean Fried Wings and the Miso Mac. The club only has one bathroom for both genders, so expect to be waiting in line for a long time. The drinks are inconsistent, but I always go for the saki bombs.

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.

This place was super unpleasant & unprofessional. My friends' & I were waiting in line forever to get in last Saturday night while we noticed they were letting certain ppl in without a wait. We totally felt discriminated against. The guys at the door seemed rude & unfriendly. Finally we were seated outside but told we had to buy drinks. Well duh why else would we be there? We were looking for a good time. This place wasn't it! If you're not what they like or you don't fit their criteria, you should just pass this place up.
