Izakaya Noname: An Affordable Izakaya with a Beer Happy Hour in LIC
Izakaya Noname is the cozy, affordable Japanese izakaya on Vernon Boulevard — bento lunches, late-night bites, and a cocktail bar of sake, Japanese whisky, and house sparklers.

About Izakaya Noname
A casual LIC izakaya built around sharing and good value, Noname runs an “indoor street fiesta” look — thoughtfully designed walls, ceiling, and menu — and a deep, affordable menu: yakitori skewers (chicken skin, chicken heart, beef tendon, salmon belly, the beef brioche), ramen (the creamy spicy miso and shoyu), udon and soba, donburi (gyu don, kani miso don), sushi and poke, takoyaki, karaage, grilled corn, and nasu dengaku. The bar pours sake creations, Japanese whisky (the Toki highball), and house-made sparkling drinks and matcha.
The Happy Hour in Detail
The venue advertises a beer happy hour aimed at after-work crowds:
- Ice-cold Asahi and Sapporo
- A cocktail bar of sake creations, Japanese whisky, and signature drinks
- Affordable food across the board — skewers from a few dollars each
Specific happy-hour times and prices aren’t posted online, so confirm on arrival. Even off the deal, the value here is strong — the skewers in particular.
What to Order
A cold Asahi or Sapporo with a spread of skewers — the chicken skin, salmon belly, and beef brioche are the picks — plus the creamy spicy miso ramen or a cold udon. The homemade sparkling strawberry and the iced strawberry matcha are fun non-beer options, and the donburi (gyu don, kani miso don) rounds out a meal.
The Space & Vibe
Small, casual, and warmly designed — a fun, intentional room that works for solo dining at the counter, a date, or a group celebration. Service is friendly (it’s a small team, so it can run a touch slow), and the whole place leans affordable and unfussy, with the kind of flavor-and-value mix that earns regulars.
The Long Island City Angle
46-44 Vernon Boulevard in the Hunters Point stretch of LIC, a short walk from the 7 at Vernon Blvd–Jackson Ave (and the G at 21st St). It’s an easy Vernon Boulevard stop — a cold beer and a plate of skewers after work, with the Manhattan skyline a few blocks west.
