Wonderful experience here. Came on a Tuesday for oysters at $1 per pop. They were small (which I like), fresh, tasty, and came with a selection of 6 yummy sauces! Ordered the fried pork belly, which was so delicious. Pan fried cod, equally delicious, flaking and beautifully marinated. Had the salmon donburi rice, topped with a healthy portion of greens on rice, and the honey toast to top off a delicious meal! Portions are great. Nice snackable and yet sufficient variety. Enjoyed it. Service is amazing! Make reservations online!

We had a birthday dinner at Nome the other day and food and service was amazing. Oysters were delicious! We have been going here for years even after moving up north.

It is yummy but honestly a bit pricey and also th amount is a bit small. But freshness and tasty level is undoubtedly great and also the service is nice but a male waiter was a bit rude to ask us all to order drink but not let one of which ordered later, I mean what if she didn’t want alcohol? Anyway, the food and drinks and atmosphere is amazing and we had a great night ☺️

This is a really great restaurant for small plates. Everything tasted really delicious and the portions were also good. Favourites were the korean style beef tartare and the pork belly. The rest were also good but this was our overall favourite. Because it's such a busy restaurant, there's a 2 hr seating limit. Drinks were also very good!

Friends highly recommended us to try this restaurant, we made reservations last night.!When we entered the server said we have two hours for dinner. We ordered different kinds of food to try like deep fried pork belly (melted in your mouth, just the right temperature), unagi risotto (the texture is very rich, the risotto is different than the Italian style), tuna brioche ( once you start to bite there are so many flavors), baked oysters (must try, I like the creamy mixture), Napa burger sliders ( we saw so many tables ordered this plate, we also tried and found out it’s very tasty), ox tongue and honey bread with cream. We also Sangria and Peach flavor soju, both drinks are good. All dishes have distinct flavors and highly recommended to make reservations before you go for dinner.

Got taken here for my birthday and had such an amazing time. We had left the raptors game since they went over time and they has the game on the screen so its was like we never left. The music was sooo good and the waitress was soo kind. Everything was clean and aesthetically pleasing. Drinks and food were 10/10 this place is great for people like me who cant eat large amounts and also great for people who can eat a lot and bits of everything. Will definitely come back!

We came for the buck a shuck deal for oysters, the environment was very nice and the service was friendly. Food was yummy and delightful, we got the east coast oysters, calamari and popcorn shrimp and crispy pork belly. The food was very tasty and I am excited to come back here and try other things on the menu.

Best Korean ribs in the city. The Japo burgers were phenomenal. Excellent atmosphere also.

COMPLAINT IS FILED WITH DINE SAFE AND INSPECTION IS ON THE WAY TO THIS ESTABLISHMENT. On November 27th, 2024 me and my friend headed to this restaurant for buck a shuck oysters. As a result of that both of us got an outrageous food poisoning. When were dining ACTUAL MULTIPLE WORMS were found on both ATLANTIC AND ESPECIALLY PACIFIC OYSTERS. When asked how and why?! were told that it is absolutely normal for pacific oysters to have worms (they live ON the shell and then make their way to an actual oyster). Turned out it is ABSOLUTELY NOT FINE AND NO WORMS SHOULD HAVE BEEN FOUND IN THE OYSTERS OR ANY FOOD. For comparison we have been to multiple oyster places in Canada and USA and worms were never observed by us. Nonetheless we proceeded with our dinner only to figure out 2 days after insane food poisoning which led to 39* fever and throwing up. Complaint with pictures and proofs is filed with Dine Safe (Toronto Health Organization which controls restaurants and provides permit for safe dining). THIS PLACE IS NOT SAFE, their oysters are contaminated with worms and bacteria. Absolutely unbelievable. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS

December 1, 2024

Had TERRIBLE experience at this place on Wednesday night. Me and my friend ordered the buck-a-shuck oysters, experienced absolutely HORRIFYING food poisoning the next night with fever, muscle weakness and 3 HOURS of non-stop throwing up. This was the most traumatizing food poisoning I experienced in my entire life. Actually, we found multiple forms in the West Coast Oysters, when we asked what those were , we were advised that those were calcium worms and these oysters are totally safe to consume. I have been eating oysters for 8 years now and never experienced food poisoning from oysters or had worms in them. Please avoid this place at all costs!

We got the japa burgers, nome fried chicken and bulgogi tacos this week. The tacos and fried chicken was really good, full of flavour! We didn t like the japa burgers as much since the buns seemed stale. Overall good atmosphere for a Monday, starts to get crowded closer to 9-10pm.

Grace along with her fellow staff(sorry I am not good with names) did an amazing job catering to everyones needs. The kitchen staff was on point and kept the food coming in a timely manner. Every dish was perfectly prepared. My entire family just loves this place now. Big heart felt thank you to everyone!

We went to this restaurant a few times already, love the food here, especially the oysters with the buck-a-shuck deal on Tuesday and Wednesday. The honey butter potatoes was anazing which we ordered all the time we were here. Highly recommend the japa burgers and the honey butter corn as well. Marinated black cod was ok, prob give it 7/10, flavor not so special, the portion of it quite small for how much it s cost. We weren t on Lina section today but she was lovely and very sweet, she came and checked up on us couple of times. Love how positive her personality is, she smiled every times she went to our table, made us feel so welcome. For sure will ask to be in her section next time. The reason why I didn t give them a 5 stars is because our server for tonight, if I m not wrong, her name is Elisha. She was unpleasant. Not a single smile from her since we were sat, no checking up on us through the dinner, every time we ask her something her face looked like she were mad at us.

The unagi risotto was delicious as always. I wish it had more of a cream flavour but the unagi balanced it out nicely. East coast oysters were just okay, but they have a good selection of sauces you can put on that goes beyond just the regular with ponzu etc. The fried chicken was delicious and juicy - got the spicy honey garlic and it wasn t spicy at all.

Food was amazing, we had beef tongue, shrimp, apple salmon sushi, japa burgers and bulgogi taco, just enough for 3. Should expect $40+ per person, plus book a table prior visiting the restaurant, this place is popular. Paid parking only, GreenP parking lot #403.

We ordered three sliders, risotto, half dozen oysters, sushi, and fried chicken wings. The sliders were average, oysters were fantastic, sushi came with a weird white sauce on top, but the worst was the risotto. As a fusion dish it just doesnt work. The rice was mushy and it lacked flavour. It almost felt like warm cream was mixed into the rice as opposed to cooking the rice with the cream. I was very dissatisfied with my meal and would only go back to have oysters. On the plus side the patio is really nice

September 22, 2024

My family and I used to love this restaurant. We were very excited to go for dinner last night. Never have we ever been so disappointed in both the food and the service. The sushi and sashimi was fishy and the service was slow. Too bad!

I liked this place! We had an enjoyable time sitting on the rooftop patio. The food was tasty, though a bit overpriced. (Then again, what isnt these days?? ) The spicy beef ribs were, indeed, spicy... but just the right level of spice to give you a bit of a kick. The service was great: the waiters were very attentive, coming by regularly to fill up our glasses with water. Id be happy to go back and try some other dishes!

We came here for the buck a shuck on Wednesday. For the price, the oysters were decent. The person shucking the oysters though didn t do that great of a job. Some of the oysters were cut and there were bits of shell in them. We also got two sides, the honey butter chips and honey butter corn. The corn was amazing! Edit: Changed ratings cause my wife and I got sick from the Oysters.

The worst service experience we have all ever experienced! Went in for an 8:30 reservation for 12 people. It was my friends birthday and I picked this place. The server was HORRIBLE she didnt check in on us or even offer water. She did not care that one of us had a gluten allergy. When asked for Gluten free options she suggested edamame. we tried to ask to sub for options but she really did not care enough to even ask or try to accommodate. Some of us waited 35 minutes to get one drink. The food was MID at best. Asked for Soy Sauce and she said they have a soy sauce shortage.. imagine a Japanese restaurant not having anything like even cutlery. Never again.

Finally back after a looooong time - glad to see some of the menu items I previously enjoyed are still here. Make sure if you are planning on coming here with a reservation, and expecting to sit upstairs/patio that you specifically ask if that area will be open that day as I didnt mind sitting downstairs - I did overhear several parties inquiring about whether or not they could be seated upstairs though when they arrived for their reservation Service was amazing - hostesses were super friendly, as were the servers! Be aware that the seating is quite tight due to how popular this place is, and how the tables are placed! ONTO THE FOOD -[TOKYO MULE - SUMO SIZED] $16.30 The original refreshing ginger and lime moscow mule with their added Japanese twist! Sumo Sized is basically double the alcohol portion but I honestly could have used triple or four-times of it since I like stroooong drinks Very enjoyable! Almost dangerously enjoyable haha -[6 MALPEQUE OYSTERS] $14 (not pictured) Love the choice of sauces that comes with the oysters but a small thing that could help both the restaurant/customers is labeling each sauce! Our oysters were on the smaller side but I mean, I have no idea when oyster season is so that could be expected right now Not a grain of sand to be found in my oysters which is great -[DOUBLE SALMON MAKI] $20.80 Grilled marinated salmon, cucumbers, avocado, asparagus and topped with smoked salmon, horseradish mayo, onion chips, and aonori (dried green seaweed) I wanted the flavors to work better together but it was just fine - probably would get a different roll next time Each piece is quite packed with ingredients thus making it tough to eat in one bite -[KOREAN STYLE BEEF TARTARE (YUKHOE)] $15.80 Thinly sliced beef sashimi with a korean style soy sauce dressing. Topped with a fresh egg yolk and crispy seaweed chips I think the beef was a bit too long in length for each slice as it was a little tough to scoop some up with the seaweed chips Very well seasoned though - Id order it again but Im a sucker for yukhoe -[BEEF SHORT RIBS (GALBI)] $19.80 I typically almost never order meat dishes with bones in them simply because Im just too lazy to eat around them but my goodness, if I followed that rule during this visit, I would have missed out on trying some of the best galbi ever No idea what is in their sauce to make it so good but the sauce/smokiness work so well as a flavor for this The meat was also really tender, and easy to bite off for even someone (ME) who is horribly out of practice at eating off of bones -[4 BAKED OYSTERS] $16.80 Oven Baked Oyster with spinach cream sauce I loved this dish originally when I had first come here, and prior times as well - still very good They do arrive pretty hot as they are baked so eat with caution!!

A good restaurant overall for hanging out with friends. The place could use some small updates like fixing the leather seats with holes in it. Also would recommend calling your clients at 15 mins mark for the reservation hold time, which is a standard practice for most restaurants, instead of expecting clients calling in since they are most likely driving/parking at the time.

The place has a typical izakaya, casual vibe. Pretty decent amount of seating in their dining room. I made a reservation for a Thursday evening, but probably could have gotten a table as a walk-in. The service is attentive and everyone on their staff contributes to providing a good guest experience. Can t say that I was a fan of the food as much. Tried their apple salmon sushi rolls and I found that they had too much mayo flavour in my opinion and wasn t really too impressed by the quality.

The food was great. But we were there for barely an hour, and there was one hour left till they closed, the waiters started taking away things off the table and we werent done. They first started with the soy sauce, and when we asked for it back they gave us one small serving, then they removed the rest of the ginger, and my friend still had a couple of pieces left. At that point we understood they wanted us out very fast.

★★★★
July 22, 2024

I ve been twice and they ve done the same thing each time. I took my office here in December for our holiday dinner. I made a reservation for the 8 of us. After an hour and three quarters they told us we need to leave because they next seating was there. They didn t tell me we had a two hour seating when I booked the reservation or when we were seated. Tonight they did the exact same thing. When I left tonight I double checked my reservation confirmation to make sure I didn t miss a two hour seating limit notification (which I didn t). They should set expectations properly rather than making their customers feel like they re being kicked out. There are many more polite ways of doing this. The way they do it is not one of them. The food is good, which is why we went back, service is mediocre. I can get better service and good food in so many other places that make me feel like a wanted patron. Don t know if I ll be back again

we had once of those unforgettable bad service experiences where the server screwed up our order--repeatedly, then argued with us it was our mistake for ordering the wrong thing even though we explained we used the correct terminology off the menu she was confused herself and tried to blame us for her confusion, it became obvious she was a new hire but we have never had bad service here before, sadly it ruined our meal despite the good food we left in a hurry without ordering more because of her... on the bill no name for this unfortunate person just the cryptic ID of server 789 for management info

Being told multiple times that we have only 2 hours to enjoy our meal (at front, after being seated, twice during our meal) is really bad customer service.

Atmosphere was great. Service was lacking as we waited almost 30 minutes for drinks to be served and was then later rushed out after 2 hours. Beef tartare was a definite no. Weve tried other menu items before and they are good.

June 22, 2024

The service has definitely gone down hill at this location, and the last couple reviews can attest to this. To the server who served us, lets leave the attitude at home next time. You have single handedly ruined the vibe and our mood from the moment you greeted us.

Went here for dinner with coworkers (group of 10). We had a reservation and were seated in the room upstairs, which was nice and somewhat private. The servers were very attentive and were accomodating with splitting the bill amongst all of us. The food came out fairly quickly. We ordered the japa burgers (sliders), which were very good but tasted like regular burgers and didnt taste japanese. Thr marinated short ribs were my favorite, the meat was thick and cooked perfectly. Also got the double shrimp roll, but I wasnt a fan of the sauce they put on top of it. The double salmon roll, on the other hand, was much tastier. The octo-wasabi had just the right amount of wasabi flavor as it wasnt too strong. Lastly, we got the Nomé fried chicken. Our server recommended the curry mayo and wasabi mayo sauces. Both were really good with the chicken, which was super juicy. I also split two pitchers of Sapporo which yielded two pints of beer. Gratuity was included into the bill since we had a large group and I ended up paying around $60. Overall, Nomé provides a social environment to gather with friends or coworkers and have a drink while sharing small plates of food. The staff offers great service and were very polite and friendly. Update: Japa burgers are a lot better when I went today (Apr 2024).

The $1 Oysters on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, featuring Torpedo Bay and Malpeque, led me here. Despite being the cheapest oysters on the menu, they tasted fresh, although some contained traces of dirt or shell pieces. The Crispy Pork Belly melted in our mouths with its umami. Its marshmallow-like tenderness was a refreshing change of pace from the typical crispy texture associated with pork belly. Equally satisfying were the Japa-Burgers, Nomes homemade sliders. The smoky BBQ and garlic mayo sauce were creamy and light, complementing the ribeyes chewier parts. The buns were soft, and I also liked the crunchy garnish on top of the patty. I would recommend making a reservation, as we had to settle for bar seats. Since this is an izakaya/tapas, do be mindful of the prices when ordering.

I recently visited this place and had mixed feelings about the experience. The vibe was a bit strange with Britney Spears music playing while UFC matches were showing on the TVs. It felt like an odd mix for an oyster bar. The oysters themselves were good, but the other dishes we tried gyoza and two of their special sushi rolls were just average at best. The service was okay, not particularly outstanding or memorable.

The Tuesday oyster special for half price deserves an extra star. Ive visited both locations and the pictures are from the most recent dining experience. It was quite busy this evening, so we found it difficult to call a server. We only got our waters at the end of the meal. The menu selection is great and has a nice variety. I had high expectations, but I was a bit disappointed by the quality of the ingredients. The bread of the mini japa-burgers, if I recall the item correctly, was a bit stale. I was really impressed by the oden though. It came out on a beautiful dish and was filled with a variety of cute, colourful fishcakes. The soup was warm and the flavour was precise.

It feels a bit like a hodgepodge, and the menu uses elements from all over. Its not unpalatable, but its not very delicious either. Its okay for people nearby to eat, but its not worth a special visit. The service is friendly.

It s a wonderful place! The food is great especially the sushi and sashimi! Love the salmon! Always try to do a reservation because then they won t let you sit at a booth or a desired place that you want to be seated at even though no one is sitting there. Otherwise love the food and the atmosphere!

Great Izakaya for food and dishes. They have a lot of selection from sliders to seafood to sushi. Recommended is beef sliders, Apple salman, tako wasabi, oysters. Their drink selection is good but often cocktails are out of stock. We also found the cocktails are not the most unique

May 22, 2024

Over charged trying to charge us a bottle of 100 sake bottle because they thought I m drunk but instead it s supposed to be just 4 bottles of sake instead of 1 bottle of a hundred dollars fun time but hecareful when you are paying.

Food and service is decent, but a 2-hour dining rule, which is actually enforced, is ridiculous - for a couple who are spending $200-$300 on a night out, by the time we had some drinks and appetizers, we were asked to leave, without an opportunity to even order main courses - we had to go to a nearby restaurant for dinner.

Definitely on the pricey side but loved the creative touches they added to the items on the menu and the quality of the food. Restaurant ambience was lovely and felt classy. We had the Seared Salmon roll, Cali Donburi, East and West Coast Oysters, Crispy Pork Belly, and their specialty sakes. Food took a bit to arrive but it was absolutely worth the wait. Servers were also very friendly. Sometimes took a little to get their attention as it was busy but generally very attentive. Consider coming with a group of friends as they have many shareable options. Overall a great experience, will be coming again in the future. Parking: Paid parking was available behind the restaurant when we arrived, be prepared for a bit of a walk especially on weekends.

I come here often on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for the $1 oysters. I have eaten almost everything on the menu. The food and drinks are yummy and they come out really fast! I love the mac & cheese, tako wasa, unagi risotto and the lychee iced tea. (I could drink like 10 of those lol) Every sushi I have had was really good too!! Service is great and helpful. They might be a little understaffed so sometimes you just need to have a little more patience, especially on those $1 days.

I have been to Don Mills location before but reserved a table at Yonge because it was closer to my friend and when we arrived, the hostess led us upstairs which in itself was ok. Soon we found out that there was a group with a kid who was screaming all the time.The reservation, as with all other places, its for 2 hours. We ordered our food and drinks and received our food fairly quickly. The server came quickly to remove plates as soon as we finished which started make us feel nervous. Once we finished our food, she quickly came back with the bill and machine to take a payment. I told her we felt being rushed and we still had an hour. Anyway, I dont think I would go vack yo yjis location as it was small and donwabt to feel rushed. The DonMills location is to me is much better.

Always a friendly place to go for 1$ oysters !

February 22, 2024

Let me start off by saying I have been to this place twice before many years ago and even though it is far for me, I always craved their food. I had such a good experience the first two times I went there, however, a lot has changed since. If I could give 0 stars I would, after finding many bugs on oysters. This was right before the holidays and my fiancé and I have told the server, she was very calm about it and said it was just baby shrimp getting stuck to the oysters. She asked if we wanted new oysters, I could not even eat at this point as my dinner was ruined - all I felt like doing is vomiting. My fiancé ordered some other appetizers and told me they were just okay. I went home to google how baby shrimp looked like, and it was definitely not like those black little bugs on oysters. I feel like this is a serious health hazard. Nothing was done by the server, other than her taking back the oysters so I don t have to see the bugs crawling on them. Not even an apology and we were fully charged for all other appetizers my fiancé has ordered. It is truly unfortunate because I use to love this place and their food. We will definitely never come back to this type of environment. It ruined our time and dinner.

In 2022, we discovered our new Goto favourite restaurant Nome Izakaya@Yonge. Great food, wonderful service from their friendly staff & manager (David) and cozy ambience. We love the delicious Tiger Shrimp, flavorful melt-in-your-mouth Black Cod, Oysters, Sashimi, Salmon roll, Spicy Galbi, Oden, Japa-Burgers & more. I shared our favourite hotspot with friends & relatives. Today, we re celebrating at their Don Mills location.

Food items rating from most to least favourite. -6 Oysters malpeque (9/10) specially with the side sauces that came with. -Sashimi salad (8/10) wished more lettuce, but the salami was very generous. -Nomé fried chicken with wasabi mayo (8/10) -Bulgogi Tacos (6.5/10) just reminded me a Peking duck, but not as tender. Drinks -Jade fox (8.5/10) -Strawberry peach (2/10) really watered down, no flavour Overall enjoyed our time and food.

Love the food. So good. It was Tuesday when we went there. They have oyster for $1 on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. However, they ran out of the West Coast oysters at 6 pm already. We had East Coast oysters. We also ordered the tiger shrimps and lobster sushi roll and chicken wings. All so very delicious. The server was excellent and earned extra tips from us. Will definitely return for the food.
