Bar Nohm

My favorite spot in Salt Lake! Bar Nohm never disappoints. The food is incredible every time. The fried tofu is my absolute favorite (the bartenders even know it’s my go-to!), perfect portion and full of flavor. Every dish is creative and beautifully balanced, and the cocktails pair perfectly. The shiso dessert is a must have every time! The team is always so welcoming and you can tell they really care about what they do. I can’t recommend it enough!

This was recommended to me by a local and it definitely is easy to miss. Sort of on the edge of the city, in an area with not much around it. This Bar features a small but incredibly flavorful menu. I started with the sesame noodles and the flavor is just perfect. The noodles have a hint of sweet to it but complimented by the meat and the Sichuan peppers and it all comes together in such a great way. The baby octopus was the standout though. However if you are a picky eater or sensitive to texture I would not recommend. But the flavor of the sauce and the paddies is just out of this world. It just overwhelms you in the best way. The bar tenders were super friendly and right there to help out. It’s fairly small but a cool atmosphere that would also make it a great spot for a night cap or meet up with friends.

There was so many things to choose. I wanted to try all of them but I eventually got too full.. every item I had was amazing, they all had unique flavors. There were a few items that I did want to try but they were already sold out, I'm not sure if that is a regular thing (hopefully not). I also heard they switch menus from time to time soooo... I cannot wait to return again!! Now the cons: It definitely feels super over priced for the food. A beef skewer had 4 pieces of bite size beef for $8, that's $2 a bite. Drink, I know very little about so I'll not comment on it. Portion size is small that's why I ordered a lot. Plates sizes were the size of an average hand I will say, it's probably more of a bar than a dine in restaurant, where you order full meals. Next time when I return I'll probably have some dinner or food ahead and come enjoy a few bites here instead. Something that I would recommend others do as well.

Favorite spot in salt lake, hands down. Bar Nohm is the heart of the Granary district and it’s the best place to take friends who have never been. The cocktails change often and are very creative and fun. For how great the ambiance is, the food doesn’t have to be good, but it’s also incredible. The sesame noodles or fried karage are incredible dishes. The staff are super friendly and you can tell everyone genuinely enjoys working there and adding to the great vibe. Sitting on the patio and people watching is the best. Wish there were more places in SLC like this!

SO 👏 GOOD 👏 Vibe was amazing, drinks were so unique but also delicious, and FANTASTIC food. We had the sesame noodles, karaage, and the fried tofu. Sesame noodles were my personal favorite. Karaage were so fantastic though, it was like a moist rotisserie chicken in chicken nugget form but better lol. I love that they rotate their drink menu every 3 months! The drinks this time had a few "cake" themed ones. My favorite was definitely the owner, with the little pineapple cake on top. Also amazing was the passion of the rice, guava margarita, and leaf me alone. Funfetti wap was the only one I didn’t love. The cake foam was bomb but the drink itself tasted too almost sour to me. 100/10 experience, will be going back!

This was a fantastic meal. The standouts were the oden and kushiyaki. The Asian pear salad was also delicious. The only thing I probably wouldn’t order again was the spicy baby octopus, just because I find gochujang-based sauces to be sort of one-note. But even then the baby octopus was impossibly tender. My mocktail—a spicy, citrus-y number—was actually interesting and not just a glass of gussied-up juice. The space is intimate without being cramped, and the decor is eclectic. Service was top-notch. I’d come here again in a heartbeat to happily eat my way through the rest of the menu.

One of our absolute favorite places in SLC! Food is delicious, service always goes above and beyond, and the atmosphere is cozy and well decorated. They have a ton of unique drink selections as well as fun mocktails. The highlight of our meal is always the bluefin tuna sashimi, steak skewers and the sesame noodles! These are constants in our order when we visit, but we also love the baby octopus & karaage. You really can’t go wrong with most things on the menu! This place gets busy, especially on the weekends, so make a reservation if possible to secure a seat! Our photos don’t due this place justice, but it’s well worth the visit & may become a staple in your restaurant favs.
