    Oysters and Japa Burgers are obviously a must. But the Honey Bread we got was actually amazing. We ordered two. Upstairs service tends to be slower than the first floor but nonetheless always such a vibe.

    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.

    Bulgogi tacos + extra piece

    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!

    Jappa burger is decent, but Ryu is better Fried tiger shrimp is a must order Everything else was pretty mid. Overall great place to chill with your friends and have some drinks, but don't have high expectations for food

    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.

    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!

    Cali Donburi bowl
    Cin C.

    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.

    Oysters! Can't remember which ones but they were all good! The ones on the bottom are the dollar per shuck
    Suzanna G.

    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!

    Spicy shrimp roll
    Jonathan C.

    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.

    Came here with a group of friends last week and they were very accommodating, especially with splitting bills to make it easier for us. The food was decent too, I really like their calamari. It was a nice atmosphere but the only thing is it is out of my way and finding parking is hard. I'd come back if I was in the area again.

    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!

    unagi risotto
    Jason M.

    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!

    Second floor patio
    Jeslyn X.

    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 ($$$)

Very nondescript outside facade - no sign telling you what it is other than a small "BSC" (for Bovine Sex Club) painted near the door. Hard to miss though as the exterior is made up a punk rock style sculpture of rusted bikes & other assorted ephemera. The interior is similar, visually. Great sound system & chill vibes pervade throughout. Weirdly the stage is right in the entrance of the club, on your left, with a long bar along the right side, heading back. Great, crowd, great location in cool area with lots of restaurants & plenty of parking - both on the street up to 2 hours & extended parking for a flat-rate of CA$20 (~$14 USD) from 6:00pm until the next morning, just 2 blacks away.

Are the beer cans running out? It's possible. But, it's a dive in the way of the old dives. And the acoustics for bands are... not great. But they are a sign of what once was. Without attempting to try to present a front of a time long gone, The Bovine simply exists today as it once did in that time long ago, before Smokes stickers, before iPhones, back when people would just go to a bar to talk with those they didn't know the morning prior. Bring cash though, unless you're looking to make some big orders, because credit card is a minimum fifty-dollar spend.
