Friday night at Nomidokoro Indigo Izakaya was dangerously good. The food was fabulous — especially the wasabi octopus and that glorious mackerel. Add a crisp, tasty sake and I had a very happy tummy. The sake selection is wide enough to require a return visit… purely for research, obviously. Service was excellent: attentive enough to keep things flowing, without hovering like an anxious auntie. The izakaya counter is a tad cosy (aka cramped), but the noise level was spot-on — lively enough to feel like an izakaya, yet still perfectly easy to hold a conversation. I’ll definitely be back AND frequently. There’s plenty more on the menu and far too much sake to leave it unexplored. Worth knowing about — but let’s keep it between us, shall we?

Very friendly staff. Dogs allowed at the three outdoor tables. Brought my dog a water bowl. Much appreciated Two of the three tables are under a decent sized awning. The fish wraps around the sushi and the nigiri was served slightly warm which was nice. Note we once asked for extra wasabi and were charged 50c. 5% surcharge on Saturdays. Very fresh sushi and I really enjoy going there.

The sushi and sashimi were excellent, and the sushi rice outstanding. Chef skilled and meticulous. Service was on point and unobtrusive. Aspects that can be improved: the counter seems too high for the chairs they use; at this price point they should really have a waiter in the room at all times; pace of the course is a bit too slow —some of the dishes could have been prepared simultaneously/in the kitchen; drinks by the glass are very limited.

The food is super goooddddd. Not too expensive for the location either. The Japanese man - probably the owner, is so fast and nice. I like everything about it

Quick service but food speaks for itself. Every dish was very good, reasonably priced and the atmosphere allows for you to have a conversation. New favourite in Sydney.

Mirai was very accommodating to be, since I booked the last reservation for the evening. We message each other and the meal I got was amazing. Can’t wait to go back!
