Located on the west side by Beijing’s universities, Izakaya Nonbei is especially popular with students.

The restaurant maintains a bar-like atmosphere with a large selection of Japanese wines and spirits.

Izakaya Nonbei has wooden tables and chairs and tatami floors. The head chef lived in Japan for many years and tries to create original Japanese dishes adapted for Chinese tastes.

Many of the waiters and waitresses are students working part time. They are friendly and provide good service.

As one might expect, seafood is the biggest attraction. Tuna sushi and scallops are the most ordered dishes.

The Izakaya’s wines are all imported from Japan and pair well with an order of grilled kabobs.
