NOY Restaurant — Restaurant in Olbia

I was hoping for a more authentic Japanese dining experience, but unfortunately it fell short of my expectations. The sushi rice was bland, which made the overall taste feel unbalanced — proper sushi rice should have seasoning that enhances the flavor of the fish.

The starters, gyoza and spring rolls, seemed to be frozen products. The gyoza in particular was fried until very crispy, more like a spring roll, whereas traditionally it should be pan-fried with water so the bottom is crisp but the dumpling remains moist inside.

There was also a coperto of €3.50, but nothing additional (like bread) was provided. Lastly, we ordered sparkling water but received still water instead. No kids menu.

Overall, the food did not reflect the authenticity I was looking for. I hope the restaurant can improve on these details...

Noy is an excellent Japanese restaurant and cocktail bar, and just a nice break from the amazing Sardinian food while in the island. Fresh seafood makes for amazing sushi, nikiri, and probably the best Tuna tataki you will have, as it melts in your mouth. The menu is ample and unique, very well presented, fresh and great tasting. Jara is an excellent host, but also a great bartender - you must try one of the great cocktails offered in Noy! Reservation is a must, we went twice while in Olbia, our last town visit in a special Sardinian road trip! Nice stone house...

Having just come off of a 2 month trip in Asia, I would have never known I was in Italy. We’ve been in Italy for a month and we’re looking for a little break from Italian fare and stumbled upon this ABSOLUTE GEM!! The drinks,🔥. The gyoza, shrimp tempura, spring rolls, and prawn chips, 🔥. The sake, straight out of Japan. The staff, friendly and welcoming. I have no edits on how it’s run or what they serve. We are here for a week and I see us returning for a few...
