Being a Pan-Asian restaurant, NOYA London cannot settle for just one country. Although, the menu is heavily inspired by traditional Japanese cuisine, NOYA is offering the diverse and rich taste of all the different Asian countries.
What is a Pan-Asian restaurant?
While an Asian restaurant is focusing on the cuisine of a certain country or style, Pan-Asian restaurants are a fusion of all the Asian countries. The dishes are crafted and served using different methods, styles and ingredients from the most different locations with the aim to create innovative dishes and inventive flavour combinations never existed before while harmonising the flavours and respecting their origins.
