Location: 3A-G-16, Straits Quay, Jalan Seri Tanjung Pinang, Seri Tanjung Pinang, 10470 Tanjung Tokong, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia
Straits Quay Retail Marina
The lunch menu offers a range of set meals including teriyaki salmon, ramen, and rice bowls, while the evening menu shifts towards izakaya-style small plates, with kushiyaki skewers being the highlight alongside sushi and sashimi selections. The bar serves snow beer, a chilled-and-frosted pouring style popular in Southeast Asian Japanese restaurants, alongside highballs, cocktails, and a selection of sake. Nomiya's pet-friendly policy and outdoor harbour views distinguish it from the typical mall-based Japanese restaurant, lending it a more relaxed, social atmosphere that suits after-work drinks and weekend gatherings.
Nomiya operates from 11am to 10pm daily, with the bar typically active from late afternoon. The outlet can be contacted at 04-893 0667.

Ordered the Maguro Burger Teishoku (Tuna Burger) The patty was juicy and the portion size was just right. I enjoyed the side dishes too: fresh salad, chukka wakame, and a comforting bowl of miso soup! A great balance of flavors and a nice mix of meat and veggies overall! 🤗👍 …
