• Izakaya • Haymarket
Booked 12 times today
If you go beyond the wooden benches and beer crates out front of Nakano Darling's ever-changing facade, you might feel like you've stepped into a different world in Tokyo. This place is where Suntory whiskey, sake, sochu, umeshu, and beer are freely flowing, and Japanese is spoken all around. It's a spot where anyone who loves good booze and delicious food could easily lose themselves for entire nights if not days. Nakano Darling represents everything that makes the izakaya, or humble 'stay-drink-place', such a central and beloved part of Japanese culture. Of course, you'll find all the food and drink favourites here (think homemade gyoza, karaage chicken, and whisky cocktails), but it's about more than just that. It's about the experience.

    Food is nice with proper portion at acceptable reasonable price. Service is fine. That's why I came back this time as a returning customer. Will come again for sure. Its location is so good as it's just next to the station.

    Highly recommend Nomidokoro Indigo. Every dish we had was outstanding, from entrees to dessert. A large variety of drinks is offered, including interesting sakes and Japanese cocktails for those who prefer lighter drinks. The staff are all fantastic, attentive, and provide a high quality of service. We are looking forward to our next meal at Nomidokoro Indigo!

    Food was delish! Items on the chef’s menu is highly recommended. Highlights were the aburi salmon, zucchini stuffed with prawn and chicken meatball. Dog friendly seats outside, but VERY HOT as there is no shade and the sun sets opposite of the store which shortly became very uncomfortable. Waiters were very friendly but because we were outside, we couldn’t flag them if we wanted to order more food/drinks. Would come here again but probably come after the sun sets!
