The drinking party has begun.
Nomikai, a sushi counter, sushi restaurant and speakeasy, is now open at The Venetian. Nomikai can be translated from Japanese as “drinking party.” More broadly, the term refers to a convivial collegiality fueled by food and drink.
Culinary director Yongjun (Jun) An and his identical twin brother, Yongju (Nick) An, the executive sous chef, contribute to the conviviality as they lead the food program at Nomikai.
The sushi counter up front offers two-piece sushi orders, yellowtail sashimi, tuna tataki, a poke bowl, sushi rolls, sakes and more. A companion to-go window sends out two-piece sushi, the poke bowl, rolls and cocktails.
