Had a family visiting from OKC so ofc we had to take him here for his birthday! We often come with a bigger group and order so much food; tonight's challenge was to order moderately but its so hard when everything, and we mean everything is just so good! Confirmed by our guest ;) As always, the team here are very attentive and polite, especially our waitress Selena. Seeing that its a Wednesday - OYSTER NIGHT BUCK A SHUCK!? had some malpeques with an assorted tray of their housemade sauces/vinaigrettes to dress! Ebi Mayo - this is one of the many staples and MUST TRYs at Nome! Jumbo tiger shrimp, lightly battered and tossed in a creamy sweet chili sauce - served with a shrimp cracker! Be sure you give that lemon a squirt before enjoying! Sashimi Salad - chopped lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and you cant go wrong with some tasty assorted sashimi on top! I don't know what the dressing is but bury me in it please! Mmm! Samurai Crunch Salad - don't be fooled because it says salad. This bowl is topped with so many different crunchy stuff - crispy wonton, kettle cooked potatoes chips, fried shredded tiny bits of something so good I don't care what it is give me more, and a very nice creamy dressing (optional on the side). Its been awhile since we came by but they got a feature menu with some delicious items like Shoyu Butter Steak and Yuxu Hamachi! Thank you Nome, always a great time! read more

I came here for a group dinner on a Friday night. The place was really busy. We were a group of ~15 ppl, they wouldn't split our bill into two. We made to two separate orders and the other side had a few things missed so the food times came out very inconsistent. The food was all very mid. The only dish that was good was the fried tiger shrimp with ebi-mayo. The shrimp were jumbo and juicy. We ordered a second round of this. The oden soup was also nice and cozy, esp for a cold day. You can't really go wrong with oden soup and udon. Everything else was very average. I wouldn't mind coming back here if someone suggested it but I will definitely not suggest it or come here if I had to pick. read more

I'd been wanting to try this restaurant for a while and finally came by for dinner and drinks with friends on a Tuesday for their $1 Malpeque oyster special. The restaurant was packed, which added to the lively atmosphere, and the service was good throughout the evening. The oysters were fresh and came with a great variety of condiments to pair with them. I also tried the red wine sangria, which was very enjoyable. For food, we ordered sushi--I had the seared salmon rolls, which were delicious, while my friends tried the apple salmon roll and tuna coin roll, both of which they really liked. For dessert, we shared the apple pie with black sesame ice cream. The apple pie was delicious, though we wished the portion was a bit bigger. Overall, a great experience and I'd definitely recommend checking this place out. read more

Nomé always hits, and this location is no exception! The service is good, the food tastes great, and the location is convenient. It's a bit of a smaller site, so it's best to make a reservation, especially on Tuesday/Wednesday during their $1 oyster special days. One thing to note, this location had a lot of items crossed out on the menu -- not sure if it's a discontinuation for all of the Nomé locations or just this one. I was sad to see my fav, the California Don, was gone. :( read more

came here due to review. this place has nice ambience and quick service. food selection is also unique. ordered: 1.double salmon - big size. not bad. 2.monkfish taco - not bad. least favorite tho. 3.ribs - good sauce with a bit of a kick. but meat is bit hard. 4.ebi katsu slider-the best among all. but not wow. 5.honey bread - light crispy bread. good pair with the cream. 6.apple baked - light breading. but nth special overall it'a good. but nothing blow me away. definitely good place to hang out and try unique food. will be back to try different food. read more

Located at Sheppard and Yonge. They have parking behind green P so you just have to pay. They have reservations online for less than 8 people. We came on a Sunday night and they didn't have a table of 7 available but they accommodated us over the phone. They weren't too busy. It's my first time here and honestly thought it was a really good place. They have booths and tables available. They sat us at the back for more privacy, dimmed light and nice ambiance. We also got tiger shrimp but I forgot to take a pic. The tacos are soft shell and they were kind enough to put all the spicy ingredients/sauces on the side. The food was surprisingly really delicious. I know a lot of my friends recommended this but I finally went. I would say it's better than Nobu if that's even possible to compare. The flavours of Nome is surely better and I enjoyed the meal and experience overall. Lin was our server and she was so kind enough to also separate the bills for us without us asking. They already told us from the beginning that they don't separate the bill for big groups. Also 18% gratuity was included as well. I will definitely be coming here again! read more

Nomé Izakaya is a local Toronto chain. This venue was is in North York. Parking is a PAIN...so good luck with that! Spots are hard to find and parking is on the more expensive side as well. I parked in a nearby neighborhood and took a bit of a stroll. My buddy used the subway to get here...smart. I meet up with my boy for dinner & drinks and...we ordered soo much food lol. They sat us at a small table for two, and we were struggling with placing dishes on the table. One one of the staff members noticed, came over and helped us combine tables for a more comfortable experience...cheers! The rest of the staff were attentive and friendly as well without being overbearing. Food was very good, nothing to complain about... A list of what we ate: #Izakaya: ~ Oysters - 5/5 (I forgot what kind...) ~ Wara Yaki - 5/5 ~ Crispy Pork Belly - 4/5 ~ Tiger Shrimp (Ebi-Mayo) - 4/5 ~ Gyutan (Grilled Beef Tongue) - 4/5 ~ Spicy Galbi (Grilled Spicy Short Rib) - 4/5 I'll be back when I'm in the area. read more

Izakaya is the place to go if you're looking to try a little bit of everything - great for sharing ! Nome features a variety of popular Japanese dishes - and drinks! We tried: - Oysters - Ebi Sliders - Dumpling with Truffle Sauce - Takoyaki - Eel Risotto - Nori black sesame Cold Udon - Jade Cocktail We didn't have a reservation at night on a weekend but we were able to go just before the rush and they squeezed us in. Did feel a little rush as we had just under an hour but we still managed to enjoy all the food! Great ambiance, bar vibes, great food! read more

A good izakaya which has been around for it seems like forever in a landscape of ever changing restaurants in the Yonge and Sheppard area. We were seated in front of the oyster shucking station so we had a some entertainment as we enjoyed our meal. We started with the tako-wasabi, takoyaki, cali-donburi bowl and the ebi katsu sliders (from the feature menu). The appetizers were good but as expected. The ebi sliders were more interesting as it is not a typical item found on a menu, but it really works for Nome. The cali-donburi was the most stomach filling of the dishes as it came in a generous sized bowl and had diced fresh tuna and salmon, avocado, carrots, beets, radish, red cabbage, mango salad, black tobiko, sour cream mayo and unagi sauce all over sushi rice. A good izakaya experience without felling hungry afterwards. read more

Great service from our waiter! We went during their osyter deals - only one type of oysters is actually a dollar each but all the other oysters are a dollar off. They were super fresh and tasty, and our waiter was very knowledgeable about them as well. The vibes were good, good music, and tasty drinks! read more

It was my first time trying izakaya and I loved it! I came here with my cousins who have much more refined palates than I do. We made a reservation for the evening, but got there a little early and the staff were kind enough to seat us at a table upstairs. We started off with the mentai potato which was a delicious appetizer - thick cut potato chips and a savory dipping sauce. I loved the japa burger sliders, as well as the Nome fried chicken. The spicy garlic dipping sauce is amazing! The spicy shrimp rolls are delicious as well. We also enjoyed the monkfish tacos, baked oysters, and fried shrimp and calamari. read more

It's been awhile since I was last here and Nome has been on my Top 5 Izakaya places including Ju, Kinka, Guu, and AKA-ONI for many years and dinner tonight has kept it on my Top 5 list. I don't tend to pick this place when hanging out with friends as it's always a bit noisy. I don't recall the timing of how the food was served before but I felt timing was a bit off as the food all came a bit too quickly together and by the time I got to the Japa burger, it wasn't hot anymore. We ordered all our favourite dishes which included Unagi Risotto, Burger sliders, and Oden. We also got 1/2 dozen of their special $1.50 East Coast oysters...very fresh! All the mains were as good as I remembered! Overall, we had a great evening and I like to come back on a Tuesday or Wednesday for the $1 oysters night! read more

I had fond memories of this place as I would have high school reunion dinners here in university w/ my friends. All I remember of those fun times were the amazing japa burgers, buck-a-shuck oysters and decently priced drinks. My gf took me here last night for a bday dinner and it brought back a wave of nostalgia but also buzz and excitement. Would Nomé be just as good as days of old? Happy to report that it's still just as good as I remember! Unagi risotto: The rice was buttery and seasoned perfectly. The unagi was soft and the breadcrumb topping and parmesan cheese added a nice bit of texture in every bite. Japa burgers: Made w/ short rib meat and a sauce that was killer. The bun was also nice and fluffy and the meat was soooo tender. These are a MUST TRY imo (you can order 3 or 4 sliders w/ each order) Gyutan beef tongue: The tongue was cooked and seasoned well. I think it didn't stand out as much as the burgers or tacos per se, but they were definitely cooked better than the tongue I had at Sumoki Yakitori Bar. Baked oysters: These were done w/ breadcrumb and creamed spinach. Very rich and tasty. I personally liked them but my gf said she would've liked the oysters to be less diced and more chunky. Monkfish tacos: I was happy w/ the quality of these fusion tacos. Each taco came w/ 2 big pieces of freshly battered and fried monkfish. The fish was crispy, flaky, moist and TENDER AF. The crema as well as the mayo paired really well with each bite. We were also pleasantly surprised at how filling each one would be lol (you can order 3 or 4 tacos w/ each order). Honey bread: The honey bread seemed like a specialty and unique to this resto compared to the rest of the dessert items, so we ordered it. The bread is fried, topped with a honey cream and berries and also a scoop of ice cream. I think my fave part of the dessert was honestly the ice cream. Holy crap that vanilla ice cream was good. I wonder if they make it in-house or buy it? Anyways, it was a perfect way to end the meal. Service was great. We were checked up on every 5 min by someone and our empty plates got cleared almost instantly. Just a note that if you get high chair seating with no chair backs (like us) , the waitress/waiter can take your coat(s) and hang em in the back behind the curtain so that you don't have to hang them while you dine. I wouldn't hesitate to come back here in the future. It seemed that they still haven't dropped their service and food standards! read more

The second time I visited Nome was already 5 years later... This time, I came to the second-floor patio, which was quite clean and cozy. Spicy Poke - The salmon was fresh, mixed with beans, cucumber, radish, and onion. The sweet sesame dressing really added a nice flavour to it. Baked Oysters - I was upset when it disappeared from Kinka's menu, but was surprised to see it here. Cheese and garlic butter are the perfect combo. The breadcrumbs on top added a nice crunchiness. The oyster's taste was still standout and fresh. Japa Burgers - The staff recommended we order them, and I'm glad we did. The beef patty was pretty big, the tomato slice and lettuce added a touch of freshness. The burger sauce was definitely what made the sliders so tasty. They have a good variety of drinks. The Blue Samurai was tasty, although it looked more green to me, and the pineapple was quite sour. The service was excellent. All three staff members we interacted with were knowledgeable and friendly. Food (quality, creativity, consistency) - 5/5 Drinks (quality, variety) - 4.5/5 Ambience (interior design, cleanliness) - 5/5 Service (courtesy, knowledge, timeliness) - 5/5 Value (quality vs. price) - 4.5/5 ($$$) read more

After sampling two of their salmon rolls, I found them so similar that it's difficult to distinguish between. Both the apple salmon roll ($19.80) and the seared salmon roll ($20.80) are encased in the fish with cucumber, avocado, asparagus, and crab meat salad on the centre. Where the difference lies are a few ingredients: the apple salmon including julienned apple and onion, while the seared salmon features cream cheese, coleslaw, and a host of other condiments. Both were freshly made, stuffed with fillings, and potentially the seared salmon having a slight edge with the plethora of sauces used to add interest. For those who are squeamish about raw fish, Nomé Izakaya's extensive menu offers tons of cooked dishes. Their chicken wings ($14.80 for a lb) were a hit with a shatteringly crispy crust and juicy interior having been wet-brined in soy sauce-based marinade. They were flavourful enough naked, but a hit of the spicy honey garlic made it even better. The Japa-burgers ($17.80 for 3; extra piece for $5.90) are akin to a smashed burger slider with tomato, lettuce, onion, barbeque sauce, and a garlic mayonnaise. Interestingly, they toast the bottom of the bun so it resists getting soggy - I like it crispier so this was perfect for me, but I can see those who like a super soft bun finding this to be a drag. While the sliders were delicious, there wasn't really anything "Japanese" about them. I would have liked a more pronounce sauce (perhaps subbing teriyaki for the barbeque) and more Japanese ingredients (slivers of toasted nori in lieu of the lettuce) to differentiate the burgers. Dive into the mac & cheese ($15.80) upon arrival as it's so gooey and rich when it's hot out of the oven. Diced bell pepper, onion, and bacon are mixed throughout to give it interest (shrimp and scallops are also available, we eliminated these to accommodate an allergy). I didn't expect an izakaya to make such a stellar pasta, but this rivaled many Southern joints. This is a long review for the rest visit Gastro World. read more

Surprisingly for a restaurant with such a big menu, they have some really good top picks. Specifically the bulgogi tacos and the ebimayo. Ebimayo: Actually so good. Perfect blend of saltiness, sweetness, umami, and good texture. Outside is nicely fresh crisp while the inside is soft with a really good shrimp feel. The sauce they cover on top coupled with the fried shrimp chip that they serve with it lead to really good texture combination in your mouth, and saves the flavour from being too overpowering. 9.1 Bulgogi tacos: super nice sweet bulgogi flavour and good white sauce that they put on top. Surprisingly good portions for the price. Normally for these trendy izakaya places you expect some horrible portions but they did a good job here. Very yum. Honey bread: too sweet for me but it's really good. Unexpectedly good since the name isn't that appetizing 8.4/10 Ambiance is good, perfect for conversation and not too loud. Servers know their own food and recommended the good things. read more

I was so surprised they had $1 oysters. The wear coast had a delicious slight metallic taste which went well with the sauces. The lobster fantasy roll was very flavorful and didn't need anythingl. The black sesame udon a cold dish was so delightful was well. It was very saucy. To be honest, everything was saucy which was good on most but not all things. The donburi was way more saucy then I expected. I think it had its own house sauce e with Kewpie mayo. It was way to heavy for a fish with raw fish. I wanted it to be light and refreshing. The shrimp slider reminds me of a crab cake. read more

I haven't found an izakaya that I would fall in love with...until now. A combination of good vibes, good food, and good service is why you should make this your next go-to place for group gatherings. Food - 5/5 I usually have lower expectations when it comes to izakaya food, but Nome really surprised me. I went with a large group, so I had a chance to try the different food items on their menu (and there are a lot of choices). The top items that I personally like are the sliders, the pork belly, and the bulgogi tacos. The sliders were so juicy and perfectly cooked. The pork belly had a good balance of fat that it just melts in your mouth and to die for. The bulgogi tacos had so much flavour, it just works. Atmosphere - 5/5 Great place to grab dinner with friends or colleagues and have a good time. It wasn't crowded in there, nor the music was too loud, so you're able to have a hear from each ends of the table. Service - 5/5 Our waitress was attentive and took care of us despite being a larger group. She checked up on us to see if we needed anything, but it also didn't feel intrusive. There is a 2 hour seating limit, but she allowed us to stay a bit longer for us to wrap up. She certainly helped make this a better experience. Some helpful tips before going: - Their online reservation can only book up to 8 people. If it's last minute and you want to secure a table, I would recommend booking for 8, and then call in to have them change it. - Gratuity is 18% for large groups, but they will let you know in advance, depending on your group size - 2 hour seating limit read more

I really enjoyed dinner here. Food was pretty good. We had reservations & I was informed that we only had the table for 2 hours from the reservation time. My Favorite food items were these: Marinated short ribs were flavorful, good cook Tuna coin was crispy and tasty Japa burgers were tasty and flavorful with sauces-- but can be messy to eat Other food also tried: Baked oysters on garlic bread were solid: very creamy and messy Sashimi salad was pretty good. Dressing and sashimi were good but the large tomato chunks seemed out of place, they were overly thick and had no dressing, unlike the rest of the salad which was much more delicate Lobster fantasy roll was fine Drinks Jade Fox, a Mojito-like cocktail, was okay, but wasn't well-balanced. It tasted artificially sweet, probably because of the apple liqueur being too dominant All in all, I had a great time and enjoyed dinner. I'd be happy to try more items from the menu or go back for my favorites. read more

Nome is my favourite restaurant in GTA. There I've said it. Through the tough times of being a student, to being a boomer now I've enjoyed nearly every dish at Nome for years now. We come from the BUCK A SHUCKS on Monday/Tuesday but we stay for the Japa burgers, Unagi Risotto, Blue Samurai cocktails. My mom doesn't eat burgers but she requests the Japa burgers. That quality beef, fresh vegetables and this garlic/kewpie Japanese Mayo hits you like no other. If Nome made a stand-alone burger spot, it would likely top Cabanos and Rudys. read more

Nomé Izakaya - Ambiance - Lounges Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Nome Izakaya Nomé Izakaya has a convenient location, just opposite the Sheppard Yonge center. They have $1 oyster night every Tuesday and Wednesday, which are the only days I recommend going. Their oysters are fresh, salty, and not so tiny (bigger than most $1 oysters). We ordered two dozen of them and still couldn't get enough! However, their maki is a bit disappointing. Although they look very appetizing, I was a bit confused by their taste. The sauce was a bit too sour, and I couldn't taste the salmon at all. The grilled ribs taste great but were slightly over-marinated and a bit tough. The pork belly was good though--succulent and juicy, with a bit of sweet Korean sauce on top. It did a great job of enhancing the flavors. Nomé Izakaya is worth visiting, but only on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I like their vibe, service, and the oyster discount, but it is still a bit pricey. ($42 per person tax and tip included) /5 嚟得呢度食一定係食蠔！以$1一隻嚟講呢度啲蠔算新鮮同鹹味重，我覺得係抵食嘅。只係間唔中有少量蠔殼同埋啲檸檬汁唔新鮮，不過一蚊我都唔挑剔太多，所以都叫咗兩打。4/5 Maki就好一般，三文魚卷就太酸，啲醋味完全掩蓋唒啲三文魚味，個卷入面擺得太多嘢，食唔到重點，淨係食咗啲酸汁，有啲奇怪，可能有人會話口感豐富，但係個人唔識欣賞。2/5 啲牛仔骨醃得幾好食，但係有啲韌，而且調味重手咗少少。3/5 章魚燒就普普通通，蛋黃醬都冇落，反而係沙律醬。而且上碟嘅時候唔夠熱。2/5 豬腩肉反而有少少驚喜，都叫入口即溶，上面有啲鹹鹹甜甜嘅醬（似係韓式大醬），幾啱送酒。4/5 Overall: 當係韓國菜/Fusion 咁食都OK，味道唔正宗，少少貴，但係值得趁禮拜二三去狂食蠔。建議叫佢啲熟食，因為壽司麻麻哋。環境都唔錯，地點方便，而且唔會有勁大聲嘅音樂嘈住等你冇得同friend傾偈。 read more

I usually don't write reviews, but this one is quite saddening. Let's start with the raw oysters, the size of it is appalling, I don't think pictures even do it justice, the oysters were so small and flat, a more accurate description would be lemons with a side of oysters. The takeout containers for the sauces are also not the most presentable, especially if you're taking a date there. Next we have the wara yaki, this is actually not bad, it's probably the most worthwhile out of all the things we ordered, considering the price point. I have mixed feelings about the japa burger, mine was actually decent, but my fiance's was overcooked. For the baked Oysters, just make sure to read the menu properly. I think many might've expected baked Oysters on a shell, but it's actually on a baguette. Again, the oysters are so small, most of it is just sauce. The sauce is tasty, but you most likely wouldn't be able to have more than one as it feels really filling. Lastly, the service here is fairly slow, it took quite a while to just receive water. In addition, please take a look at my take out container for my japa burger. When I asked for a bigger box, the server told me that it would fit in the box if I removed the stick that held the burger together, but please see how squished my burger is. I don't understand how this can be considered service. For the price point, I find this experience pretty disappointing. There are plenty of other options that have better food and service for a similar price point. read more

This is the best Japanese Restaurant I've ever been to. I been to Japanese restaurants in Vancouver, Kelowna, Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal, Moncton, London UK, Paris France, Barcelona Spain, Las Vegas, Miami, Seattle, Cambridge, New York, even Buenos Aires in Argentina... This is the best one. Look, Ja Bistro downtown Toronto has the best Nigiri Sushi and Sashimi in town, and the rice is incredibly high tier. But Nome Izakaya definitely rivals. Nome Izakaya has stuff that Ja Bistro doesn't have - for example the Fried Pork Belly is insane, you have to try it. The Takoyaki is perfect. I love that they have Fried Chicken, Sliders, Oysters, Short Ribs The Mac and Cheese is baked with Bacon, Shrimp and Scallops - so amazing! Even the Strawberry cheesecake is house made and tastes really good. Everything at Nome Izakaya is high quality and made fresh. Waitresses are all very friendly and pretty. Easily accessible by the TTC. I've easily spent $2,000 at this restaurant with my friends. I moved away to Moncton in New Brunswick. If I find myself in Toronto again, you know I'm coming back. I'd give this place 10/5 if I could. read more

I went to Nome Izakaya for a birthday dinner and it was fantastic! The Tiger Shrimp (Ebi-Mayo) was by far the best ebimayo dish I've ever had--the cracker was a perfect addition, and the shrimp were huge and flavorful. The bulgogi tacos were amazing, super filling, and packed with bulgogi. The staff were extremely kind and knowledgeable, offering great recommendations. We had the Honey Bread for dessert, which was highly recommended by our waitress, and it did not miss--it was incredibly good. I really appreciated the sparkler add-on for the birthday boy.

It have been a while since I last visited Nome Izakaya and I am super craving for oysters tonight. Therefore, I give this Japanese bar another try. I ordered the Lucky 88 oysters for the first round. It is super tiny but very creamy / fresh. I ordered the Malpeque oysters for the second round. It is also super tiny but very sweet. The Unagi Risotto is tasty but the risotto is over cooked in both Italian or Japanese standards. My favorite of all is the MoTito, which is so refreshing. Overall, this place have a great vibe to hang out with friends or a dates. I minus one star due to the super tiny portion for its' price, especially the Unagi Risotto. read more

Knockout food, great vibe, and decent prices! I've been here twice now, and I will be coming back many many many more times. It's that good. Buck a shuck oyster specials are fantastic. You have your pick of east or west coast. I prefer the east coast. They're smaller and smoother. The west coast are fantastic as well, with a larger deeper cup, and a brinier flavour. We ordered both last night, and the west coast oysters will fill you up (you've been warned). The oysters are served with a variety of sauces, though I think only a few of them pair well. We also ordered the tiger shrimp. You must order this 11/10 dish. It's a deep fried shrimp topped with savoury, tangy sauces and served with (shrimp?) chips. In the words of my friend: "this is one of the best things I've ever eaten". The bulgogi tacos are also a must order. Also an 11/10 dish. You get 3 tacos, filled with bulgogi, savoury tangy sauce, red onion, jalapeño, and it all comes together beautifully with every bite. The Japa burgers are delicious as well. Also come in threes. They have a crispy tempura onion hidden inside. It's a wonderful surprise when you find it. The sushi is great too. I've had the spicy shrimp and lobster rolls, and prefer the lobster. I don't even like lobster, but the roll offers a combination of flavours that brings out the lobster's best qualities. One of Yonge and Sheppards top restaurants and a must visit! read more

Nice Izakaya at Yonge/Sheppard. Fun experience and good food. Pictured are the dynamite rolls, unagi risotto and the infamous japa burgers. The unagi risotto is savoury and cheesy, while the japa burgers are beefy, savoury and sweet. Not pictured but the karage was great as well! Both the sangria and the jade fox drink were a bit watered down, hence a hard pass now with inflation lol. The ambiance at Nome is always great, however, with portions being smaller, drinks watered down, I am questioning if Nome is worth it. read more
