About

ONO 緒乃 · Bistrița, Romania

Our story

Founded by Dragoș Hârjoabă, ONO blends Japanese discipline with Transylvanian warmth. The restaurant's mantra "Taste over Art, Art over Beauty" translates into layered flavors, immersive plating, and curated playlists that evoke Tokyo after dark. Guests are guided through seasonal omakase flights, charcoal ramen, and cocktails infused with matcha, yuzu, and Romanian botanicals.

Founder · Chef Patron

Dragoș trained with chefs in Kyoto and Bucharest, championing a discipline of restraint and sensory depth. Each plate is a dialogue between precision knife work, ceramics, and ambient light.

緒乃

"ONO is a reminder that every element — aroma, texture, silence — amplifies taste. We cook with intent, we serve with ceremony."

Immersive Course

“Taste over Art, Art over Beauty” encapsulated in one night.

Allow our chefs to guide you through a 9-course omakase inspired by Kyoto evenings and Transylvanian terroir. Pairings are curated with artisanal sake, Japanese whisky, and botanical cocktails.
