Nagomi Japanese - Kathmandu

A family-run Japanese restaurant. Fresh food, fast service and great hospitality. And pressed quite in the dining room.

What a great find! The food was delicious and well presented, the service was perfect and the atmosphere was calm and welcoming. I’ll be back before I leave Katmandu!

While recovering from food poisoning and diarrhea, I couldn't eat anything heavy spiced and oily. So I came here for Udon and some soupy food to regenerate my body! At first we were served Genmaicha, not Ocha to my surprised. My husband's chicken katsu was very well fried. While my Nabeyaki udon was in a giant stone bowl, tailored to have no pork. I didn't thought I would be able to finish the whole stone bowl of Udon because of my lack of appetite from the previous 4 days... but I finished everything! Including the small well balanced pickled dish. The owner was super friendly, he studied Japanese and run the restaurant with his father for 40 years as a family business. I don't believe they had ever been to Japan, but the food were so similar to authentic it was very soothing and light. Even the interior felt like a hidden Japanese washoku shop you would actually find in the alley of Japan. Before leaving, the owner even treated us some plums harvested right in season from his own home farm!

Beautiful Japanese restaurant in the heart of Kathmandu. The food was delicious and the service perfect!

Having some time in Japan, it's nice to find some place that serves authentic Japanese food. It's a family business and it's impressive that the owner hasn't been to Japan. I'm assuming that there's some Japanese origin further up the family tree. They served us some free food while we were waiting. The host is very courteous and the ambiance has the Japan vibe to it. Definitely a place to visit again.
