About

Aokamo is a neo-izakaya in central Lille created by chef Ryo Nakamura from Okinawa and Rémi Aboudiab. The restaurant offers two distinct experiences: a tachinomi on the ground floor for standing dining with small plates and drinks, and an intimate upstairs dining room in neo-bistro style. The fusion cuisine blends Asian influences with local flavors, featuring a short, seasonal menu. Signature dishes include tonkotsu ramen, gyoza, karaage, oshizushi, and tempura. The minimalist, refined décor avoids Japanese restaurant clichés. A curated selection of Okinawan sake and natural wines complements the offering.

  • “Vous l’aurez compris, cette nouvelle adresse sera dédiée à la cuisine nipponne, dont le chef Ryo Nakamura originaire d’Okinawa, maîtrise les codes à la perfection.”

  • “Un bistrot japonais à Lille qui te propose une cuisine fusion, alliant influences asiatiques et saveurs locales : c’est Aokamo. Aokamo, c’est le petit frère du resto Bleu Canard, mais c’est aussi sa signification en japonais. 🙂”
