My friend and I ordered a few dishes; oysters, sashimi platter, unagi risotto, takoyaki, and salmon roll. The oysters were HUGE! So amazing. The risotto was also a show stopper. Everything was great and the service was awesome. I would definitely return…especially on a cheap oyster night haha
I live really close to Nome Izikaya but it took a new rooftop patio to finally get me over there to check it out. The patio is surrounded by wood and is sheltered from the busy yonge street traffic. I ordered the tuna tartare and avocado, very god but would have lied a slice i f lime to brighten it up. I also had oysters that come with a bunch of different sauces and i ordered the shrimp which was deep fried perfection the place is popular with the young Asian residents in the neighbourhood and its a nice space to hang out at. starvingfoodie.blogspot.com
Nome Izakaya is a popular with the yuppies crowd and is packed on Friday nights as well as Tuesdays and Wednesdays due to their $1 oyster specials. (You would not be remiss in making a reservation.) With smaller dishes designed for sharing, the cost can add up pretty quickly if you’re not careful, but generally speaking the quality of food is worth the price.I’ve been to Nome several times now, and I definitely have my favourite dishes. As starters, I would recommend the Wara Yaki (a delightfully smoked salmon sashimi dish), the Maguro & Avocado Tartare (the only complaint I have for this beautifully plated dish is that there’s just not enough to share) and the Korean Style Beef Sashimi Tar Tar, which is simply packed with flavour. If you decide to order oysters, they come with a selection of migonettes, vinegars and oils for you to choose from. If you want something a bit more filling, I’d recommend the Unagi Risotto, which is a creamy blend of Italian and Japanese fusion.I would recommend Nome for a group of four or more so you can make the most of the tapas-style dishes.
Our group of 12 went on a Tuesday. Don’t know about other days but be sure to make a reservation if you’re going on buck-a-shuck Tuesday or Wednesday because it was packed. Good food, quick and attentive service. Separate bills were provided which included 15% gratuity (for large groups). My friends really enjoyed the oysters. Other standouts were the Japa Burgers, Marinated Squid, Wara Yaki (slightly seared smoked salmon), Donburi, Tuna Coin, Ribs. We liked it and would return.
Nom is a good restaurant for sharing and going out with friends. I went on a Friday night and it was really busy. We had made a reservation and got seated at the bar, front row oyster shucking seats. We had the lobster fantasy roll, a dozen oysters (French kiss and malpeque) , and the short ribs. The lobster roll was huge. It was tasty. The oysters were fresh and the sauces provided were very good as well. The short ribs were also very flavourful. The only downside was the sangria I ordered, didn’t taste amazing. Overall, would probably go again and recommend it for a girls night or drinks.
Nome Izakaya is a sweet little Japanese bar with a touch nicer upscale feel.The place itself is narrow, but elongated and can seat quite a few people. That doesn’t stop it from getting packed most nights, especially Wednesdays when they have Oyster night. The menu features good bar food at a bit of a price, but the quality backs it up.I’ve had a variety of items on the times I’ve been here, but standouts include the Japa Burger, Karaage, and the Ebimayo. The Japa Burger is actually a plate of 3 sliders that come with sliced ribeye meat that has been marinated and topped with tomatoes, onions, and bbq sauce. The burger sliders were so good and tasty that I almost wanted to order another. The ebimayo was OK. They were pretty big shrimp, so that’s good. However, the batter was too much and masked the shrimp. The karaage, fried chicken poppers, were excellent. Can’t go wrong with fried chicken, but they were giant chunks of meat with a light batter and served with wasabi mayo. And of course, the $1 Malpeque Oysters, are a must. They have them Wednesdays and Tuesday nights and there is no minimum or drink purchase required (though it’s hard not to order a drink). They’re pretty fresh and come with a slew of condiments aside like teriyaki and soy, to accompany favorites like Tabasco and horseradish. The place is clean and they’ve got TVs everywhere so it’s a perfect place to watch the game and grab some drinks with a smaller party. The servers are easy on the eyes, but tend to be rushed with the amount of people they have to attend to. Definitely worth a visit, especially for oysters and games on TV. cheatdayeveryday.com
we got recommended by a friend to go there they also know most the waitresses there, the girl with the back tatty servers look stunning and the food was good. it might be because our friend know what to order so everything end up tasting so awesome . we didn’t get the dollar Oyster cause it was a Monday but I think the oyster worth 2 dollars. defiantly will go back no doubt when I’m in tdot again . service wasn’t bad for a table of 16
