Nomé Izakaya (Don Mills) in North York

If you would like to have your ice cream desert with plastic to-go spoons than I would recommend to go here

Great place with awesome menu

Used to be fire AF. Went in the last itme lobster fantasy rolls made me throw up. The oil tasted old if you know what i mean

Took my daughter here. They serve pork bellies so not my kinda place. She ate & and said the food was good those are her ratings. Service non-existent.

$1 oysters cant be beat!

The food was amazing. The best tasting beef burger ever its a must have and the staff was friendly!!!

Freaking flies on the food and the counter

Best restaurant in the GTA. The food and quality of service is unparalleled.

Booked our table from a few weeks ago for friends who were visiting from US for 8:30 . At 8:30 although there were a few free tables at the restaurant, they were just starting to clean our table and made us wait near the door which was cold . No apologies for delaying and making us wait . Took 15 more minutes to as us what we want to drink . Service was slow and careless , no greetings , no smiles . Never asked us if we liked the food or wanted something else or desserts. When I asked for a cocktail I was told they finished the mix for that cocktail, without apology or offering something else / compliments . The service did not deserve ANY tip and we were charged 18 percent ! Food was tasty , portions were kind of small .

2024 review: this place is amazing. The $1 oysters on Tues and Wednesday are a MUST! Sushi rolls are amazing. My fav is the beef ribs too ! Food is amazing here, seared salmon roll is so fresh. Never disappoints, the lychee cocktail is phenomenal as well. Tapas style eating. $50 a person average with a drink.

Everything we ate was delicious :) Loved the sparkler they put on our cake for a birthday (and no cake fee)!

Carmen was FANTASTIC! She was very personable , open , honest and friendly . She recommended items on the menu that reflected our taste preferences and was spot on! Carmen was also bartending and made a variety of delicious drinks as we sat at bar for our wonderful dinner! GREAT asset to the restaurant and terrfic professional service!! Thank you for a memorable evening!

We had an amazing experience corporate dinner I must say staff was very attentive even tho it was super busy that night especially Carmen she interacted while providing excellent service. We agree to come back again and we wish Carmen all the best!!!

This place never disappoints. Service and food is always consistent.

Great service, all servers were attentive , and not just focus on their tables only, food came quick and swiftly, will come again especially during $1 oyster Tuesday and wednesday

Good atmosphere. Decent prices. Recommend making a reso since it is very hard to get a walk in.

Good place . But so loud Food

Nome is one of the best food experiences in Toronto. Presentation and taste is fantastic

Amazing place with the great food and service! Highly recommended! Definitely coming back!

Had tacos, sushi, pork belly, poke bowls. It s okay, nothing was amazing or worth getting again.

Honestly I was super disappointed with the food tonight. I ordered the Cali-Donburi and struggled to eat it. When they served it, they informed me to mix it up, which I did but it was like they doused the entire bowl with mayo (both before and after it was mixed). It was barely edible it literally felt like I was just eating mayo the whole time. While our server was sweet she never once asked me if I enjoyed my food, instead she focused just on my friend. My friend ordered the Mac and Cheese and while it wasn t bad, we ve definitely had better. We came one time before and the food was fine nothing to rave about, but today it honestly felt like such a waste of money. Will not be returning especially for what they charge, you would expect higher quality food.

We were a party of 4 and ordered about 8 different dishes to share and they were all pretty tasty. Outstanding dishes included the Pork Belly (so tender), Korean Steak Tartare, Ebi sliders and Monkfish tacos. The sushi rolls were good but nothing to write home about. Service was decent but we felt rushed when they informed us our reservation was limited to 2 hours and forced us to pay before we finished our meal.

Nicolette was absolutely fantastic! She was funny, incredibly helpful, and knew the menu inside out. Her energy and attentiveness made our dining experience so enjoyable. We re definitely coming back and hope to see her serving us again!

Amazing service, and even more amazing food.

Great service and food

Ive been to Nome a couple times in the past years and although the food was really good during my visits then, the food has took a dip in quality recently across both locations. Service was great, atmopshere is always on par -- but I must say the Japa Burgers, Mac n Cheese and Bulgogi tacos are not what they used to be.

My favourite restaurant for get together with family & friends. High-quality food & amazing customer service please keep the price reasonable. Food

Will not order again....food was disgusting. So disappointed.

Great food and quick service.

A nice sushi-bar kind of an ambience, and one of the few places where I have really enjoyed the takoyaki. I enjoyed their sushi and gyoza the most. A nice fun place to hang out with friends.

Ive been to this place many times, but this should be my last visit. We were a table of five, including a baby, and they didn t even ask if we needed a high chair. After we finished our meal, they immediately came over to ask if we wanted the bill. It felt like they were trying to rush us out, which was really disappointing.

The Sashimi Salad is a must-try

The food was excellent, but the service did not meet expectations, even though it wasn t peak hours in weekdays.

This was my second time dining in at Nome Izakaya. Once again the service was amazing, Amanada and Angela where amazing. The food was fresh and on point and the restaurant including the lavatories where clean and presentable. I strongly recommend trying this place out! 10/10

We had a fantastic experience at Nome Izakaya at the Shops on Don Mills last night! The food was delicious, and every dish was fresh and flavorful, perfectly capturing the essence of Japanese cuisine. The service was equally impressive attentive, friendly, and efficient, which made our evening even more enjoyable. The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, making it a great spot to unwind and savor some amazing food. We left feeling satisfied and happy. Highly recommend this place for a great dining experience!

The food was delicious. We started with oysters and the shrimp sliders. Both were delicious! Then we had the short ribs, lobster sushi roll, chicken gyoza in a truffle sauce and sashimi. It all tasted great and fresh! The live deejay was playing some good music too!

We were getting takeout and Jesse at the front desk was wonderful. He checked with the kitchen on timelines and was overall exceptionally pleasant. The exact person you want as the face of your business. The bartender was also beyond lovely! We will definitely be back.

Good vibe

Food was delicious as always, atmosphere was great! They had a live DJ playing all the tunes ! Took one star off because we felt Like our service was rushed. When eating out we like to take our time and catch up but we kept getting interrupted with are you ready to order? Every 5mins Food

Amazing experience! We ordered a whole bunch of things from the menu and all were delicious! Excellent service specifically from Amanda who went above and beyond to make our time there an absolute blast! This will definitely not be our last time there!!!

Good food good atmosphere. Tuesdays and Wednesdays $1 Oysters.

Good all around place. Fav dish is tuna brioche.

We love going there.. thank you . We always have a good time here.

I ve been going to Nome for over 10 years. I am truly impressed by how the quality of food has remained the same since the first day I tried them out. My favourite are the short ribs!! They re just so good! Keep it up Nome!! And thank you for your great hospitality! If you can just fix the sticky tables at the Don Mills location. That s all!

I had a business dinner there and it was my BFF s birthday. They put a sparkler on his beer and it was amazing. I would go back in a heartbeat. The kalbi was almost as good as they say it is. Maybe top 5 kalbi in GTA???

We tried the Galbi, NFC, and Japa-Burgers, and I have to say, the food was outstanding. The staff were warm and professional, and to top it off, the prices were absolutely worth it.

We were party of 6 and they said 18% tip is added as we are 6! we ordered food and drink at the same time. They brought one drink and some of our food randomly and after waiting for half an hour we started to complain as some of us still waiting for the drinks. When we asked one of the waitress why we are not getting the drinks all together and then food together, she said it s Japanese style! When each food is ready they bring it to the table. So they forgot to add the 18% tip and I think their style would get zero tip and 1 star review! Good luck

Amazing serving. Kind and attentive staff. Everything on the menu is way better than you expect. Keeps me going back. Japa burger is a must. It s unmatched.

All my family have diarrhea after, I did not but I didnt have all the dishes we ordered.

i love the food.

worst service experience Ive ever had. the server was a blonde girl with tattoos we cane around 10pm, took 20 mins to get our first waters then when taking the orders I asked to keep one menu incase I wanted to order later and the server had the audacity to tell me to put It on the railing or the side so I dont get the menu dirty like Im a child! absolutely disrespectful and me and my entire tables of guests were speechless.After recieveing our food the server just disappeared until we asked another server for our bill to which a third server comes drops off the bills and then leaves to not come back. Afterward a fourth server comes to check up on us and we told them we just wanted to pay but cant. I asked the staff to get me the manager to which they said right away: and the manager never came to the table. We payed and left.. Im absolutely disgusted with the treatment I received at this location and I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone unless youre okay with subpar and awful service where you are treated like a child and forgotten about.

Cant beat buck-a-shuck Tuesday/Wednesday! Great service from Angela and Carmen

On Tuesday my friend had a smelly and rotten oyster, the waiter took away two oysters and brought us three oysters later. When we paid the bill, the bill was 30 oysters, but we only got 24. The waiter started to count our shells, and I told her about the smelly oyster and said that we were given one more because of the smell. She said she knew, and later the third waiter came with the bill for 25 oysters. My friend used to come here often, but it was my first time. I had serious doubts about the quality of service and food.

Amazing food and service as always!

We were so excited to try this place and it was a huge let down. The biggest issue is that they have lost the concept of texture - everything is mush and too creamy. They served me the worst sushi roll Ive ever had. To be fair, maybe the tacos would have had texture if they included the kimchi that was listed on the menu. Service was slow. Wont be going back but I doubt theyll last long enough for us to visit again.

Worst customer experience since a long time: long delivery, personnel not friendly at all. I do NOT recommend.

Food was delicious but the timing was extremely off. I finished all 3 of my dishes before my friends even got theirs. Service was very slow and no one checked in on us throughout the night, and the server also forgot to ring in an item. Overall experience wasnt great

I truly appreciate how the servers go out of their way to accommodate my dietary restrictions (I m celiac and have a severe dairy allergy). For my upcoming birthday, they surprised my friend and I with a sparkler-topped shot since I couldn t have any desserts, which was such a caring and thoughtful gesture. I gave the food 4 stars because while everything I ve had is delicious, I wish there were more than just 2 or 3 menu options for those with gluten restrictions. The atmosphere also gets 4 stars because during my last few visits, I noticed some tension among the staff that was audible, especially near the sushi bar. However, the service was otherwise excellent, and I wish I remembered the name of our server she was absolutely lovely. I ll definitely be returning for Shuck and Buck!

Need to bring back the Beef Tartare to both locations!!!

take out only!! the service there is weird and very pretentious. i m not sure what type of people they re expecting to service but you can tell when you are NOT their target audience. the food however was great. the bulgogi tacos and the yam fries tasted amazing so i will give props where props are due. all this to say go to the yonge and sheppard location the food taste the same and they understand the city they re in and how to service everyone

Their buck a shuck is a huge hit. The oysters are fresh and served promptly. The fried shrimp appetizer is really good. The rolls, not so much.

Been wanting to try this place for some time, maybe my expectations were too high. I had to ask the server a few times for the same drink order. Food is overpriced but tasty.

Tuesday is a rush

Horrible service. Waited 1 hour for the ribs while we got all our other food and even after putting our order in twice they said it wasn t punched in. Spicy mayo took 15 mins to come and charged us 2 dollars for it lol ordered water and brought us 3 and said she ll be back and never returned. Ive been here so many more times and the service was never this bad at all, kinda shocked. After all that the ribs were on the house

Food was amazing as always. Went for $1 oyster special. Also got soju, japa burgers and spicy short ribs. Service was good and all the staff there were pleasant.

The servers were very good. The food was average.

Music is too LOUD

Been a patron at the OG Nome at Yonge and Sheppard since late 2012. Similar menu here at the Don Mills location (second location). Good place to unwind after work or on a day off, especially during patio season. Staff are very accommodating towards industry folks and regulars; come in without playing a I know the DJ card and expect downtown level bottle service and you will be alright. Saw a party walk out arguing with an employee about minimum spend; they did pay but I dont think they tipped well based on previous bad reviews . If there was a set agreement between the venue and patron on a set amount it is up to the patrons to communicate that they cannot pay up a cover of around 50-60$ per person (tips included). This isnt downtown folks. End small rant. Recommend staples such as the Japaburgers and XL Beer offerings. Soju cocktails are fun to get through a long day, its a ticking time bomb.

Amazing service amazing food amazing vibes 10/10 would recommend

Been coming here for a while now and every single visit I have had a pleasant experience. Staff and management are friendly and create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend the Japa burgers and black sesame edamame. Cant wait for my next visit!

Avoid visiting after 10pm. The manager displayed extreme UNPROFESSIONALISM and DISRESPECT throughout our experience. My friend made multiple attempted calls to adjust our reservation size, as agreed with the manager who promised a callback to confirm. This never happened. During our visit, the manager continuously changed rules for our large group, including a fluctuating minimum purchase requirement ($550-650 total, $50-60 per person), no cash discount, and an automatic 18-20% tip (of course, tip was expected). The manager spent the evening at the bar, consuming shots, and unfairly accused us of seating issues despite the restaurant being mostly empty. She even remarked that other reservations were for family. The bathrooms were in poor condition with wet and unsanitary floors, lacking hand soap. To top it off, the food was disappointing, with my black sesame ice cream showing signs of freezer burn. This level of customer service is appalling. Ive never encountered such argumentative and aggressive behavior from a manager in a retail setting.

Delicious Japanese food! Love the appetizers! Lots of choices. Good service with a warm welcome. Clean washrooms.

Awesome variety of food and flavours, service was prompt and courteous. It s our regular go-to for Friday night dinners

Amazing. Very tasty. Great experience

When we asked for a fish recommendation the server recommended the black cod, no explanation of how the food will be, the fish was too sweet it tasted like anything but fish, Then the manager said they can t do anything about it and it is what it is, poor costumer service, I am really disappointed. My last time here in this location for sure.

An excellent choice for our friends birthday dinner. Were talkative and the atmosphere was conducive to it. The food is outstanding, prepared and served when ready. The menu descriptions are accurate, no surprises with any of our 10 sharable dishes that were perfect in size for the four of us. Kudos to the staff who were attentive, not overly so, and who had a professional sense of timing when asking for our next food and drink orders. It was a fun and easy dinner that made our evening memorable.

Service is mid. servers are confused did not know where the food was going. Food was four out of 10 honestly upset that for what I paid the service did not meet my expectations. The short rib was a good option that we enjoyed

Wow talk about how things have change. Bad,bad,bad on three counts. Waiting and waiting. Avoid and save your money for anywhere else. This is first I didn t even leave a tip. Actually I should have no accepted the food and left the restaurant. The other review are probably fake since others around were also feeling the same

Great food friendly servers. Their Short ribs and burgers are amazing.

Amazing food , very poor service. Saturday night with friends, everyone got there order accepted one couple. Got it after everyone done eating. Food : 5/5

Japanese people are also very satisfied Friendly and beautiful staff! You can enjoy Japanese fusion cuisine. Especially the mini burger was delicious. Thank you so much

If you would like to socialize with friends and enjoy a night out, look elsewhere. The food used to be good, but its subpar now, and the 2-hour seating limit makes this an incredibly annoying experience with staff constantly harassing you to order food and get out and not letting you enjoy a drink and a night out with friends. If people spends hundreds of dollars at your restaurant, at least let them enjoy the experience - the 2-hour time limit makes you feel like your at a cheap Chinese all you can eat buffet.

I had a reservation for two people but we were unfortunately seated next to a large group celebration (10+ people) and it was consequently extremely loud. Not exactly the best environment for two people to catch up as it was very disruptive. Our mains arrived at different times and my dining companion had to ask where her food was. We had to ask for utensils twice. Food was decent but I wouldnt come back.

My favourite place, even though it s almost an hour away from me. I make the time to go as a treat and dinner date with my partner.

Pretty good variety of food & all taste pretty good. fav item was the sliders

Always a phenomenal experience when coming to Nome. They are consistent with their quality, presentation and delectable-ness of their food! Please do yourself a favor and get the crispy pork belly

We love this place! We go all the time! Food is great, vibe is great. Our servers last night were great! It can be pricey but its delicious nonetheless!

The host was very nice and was able to accommodate our request to be seated at the patio. The restaurant inside was unbearably cold. The service wasn t great as they forgot our 2nd order of food and we had to wait almost 40 minutes for it. We asked 3 different staff for it. We ordered 6 plates to share but it was weird that our salad wasn t the first to come out. I used to go here very often before I moved out of province 2 years ago.. unfortunately it wasn t the same. Would not recommend the Unagi Risotto. Dietary restrictions: They used to have different option for the rice bowls like brown rice or with cauliflower rice, but those options have been removed from the menu.

Always our favourite place for Oysters especially on Tuesdays and Wednesdays when the Oysters are a buck each. Bulgogi Tacos are also our favourite, always fresh and tasty. The Garlic Mayo is the best =)

The portion size is somewhat small, but the food is generally delicious and fresh. However, the service leaves something to be desired. Orders are frequently missed or forgotten, and it seems like there arent enough servers to cover all the tables adequately. Many tables, including ours, had to wait a considerable amount of time to get attention.

Great food, overall a good experience.

Great place for $1 oysters on a Tuesday/Wednesday night. We also tried the seared salmon roll, monkfish tacos, takoyaki, gyoza and a rice bowl. We wrapped up the meal with the costco apple pie they serve with black sesame ice cream. The rice bowl & dessert were underwhelming but the rest of the meal was delicious.

Service was amazing from the staff. They gave great recommendations from their menu.

The service was just okay. The staff knew everyone that walked in and spent most of their time chatting with friends that walked in. The atmosphere was good because I liked the music but for a Japanese restaurant why were they playing so much hip hop and Afrobeats? I had some food that was WAY too salty. When I let the manager know, after only two bites, they told me they are not the type of restaurant to take food back and I still have to pay for the food. All in all, I won t be returning here. The hype is all for nothing.

Loved loved everything about Nome Izakaya , the music never skipped a beat, the food mouth watering and the servers were the best. I had the east and west coast oysters( the east coast are tastier). The spicy salmon sushi was great, the beef tongue was smooth and delicious. The yam fries were amazing and not to forget a the lemon drop specially made for me. Def coming back again

We were given a time limit, which we accepted. Then they made a mistake with our order and the delayed order didn t come before our time limit. Then the waitress tried to pressure us to move to another table, which we refused. What would you do under such circumstances?

An ordinary place which charges you $15 for a large pint of beer and $23 for a bottle of Soju before adding tax and tip ! I ve had way better food and drinks for the same price all around GTA. Food

came to for the $1 oysters and brought my nephew who is 2. wasnt sure how it was going to go but the staff onsite were super helpful and friendly. food and service was good. was hoping to switch seats because we had a toddler (we had a booth) and staff looked, but werent able to accommodate. Would recommend. Would also recommend for the reservation system if there could be an indicator about toddlers, it could help with seating in the future.

Food was great, service was something to be desired. Music was a little load as well making it difficult to speak to one another. Parking: Difficult finding parking, even in the lots. You will eventually.

Overall we did have a pretty good evening. We started off with their white sangria pitcher which was good but nothing mind blowing definitely have had better sangria before. The Gyoza in truffle cream sauce were okay not worth the hype the edges were hard and arrived warm definitely not hot. The $1.00 Oyster Special was good some of the oyster were questionable as the had a weird taste but for $1.00 it honestly whatever. The Spicy shrimp roll was my favourite this was very tasty and a good amount of spice. The sashimi was surprisingly were high quality and tasted nice and fresh with some lemon. I will say tho the hospitality and staff here are amazing, everyone was very friendly. Would say Overall was a good evening but I would say for the food temperature and quality wasn t something that makes me want to return to this restaurant.

A friend and I caught up this past Friday night. Amazing service! Extra napkins, refill on drinks and taking away empty plates. Burgers and the pork belly were amazing!!! My friend loved the lychee ice tea so much she ordered a second. Awesome food and service. Will return. Music was just too loud me for personally and hard to hear my friend but I m just feeling old. Live DJ started around 8:30-ish and the music got louder at the night when on. Forgot to take more pics.

The oysters are amazing here. Check the specials, you wont be disappointed.

My first time here with a group of 4. We wanted some drinks and oysters. So far so good. Until they starting playing loud hip hop. If I wanted a night club, I would have gone to a nightclub. Very misleading. We ate, paid and left.

Enjoyed the food, service and ambiance. Everything came on time and top notch in flavour and presentation. Reservations highly recommended

Nice place for a date night. Food was good, but a bit pricey, but its expected as everywhere else. Can get a bit busy, so its best to make a reservation (can either call the store or reserve a table online). Heres what we ordered: > Calamari & Popcorn Shrimp --> crispy, freshly cooked. could have used a couple extra pieces of shrimps. > Dozen oysters --> half lucky 88 & half Malpeque. Lucky 88 have a sweeter and creamier taste. Malpeque ones have more briny taste. > Bulgogi Tacos --> The meat was salty; could have used more veggies to neutralize the saltiness of the meat. > Ebi (Shrimp) Katsu-Sliders --> these were delicious and very filling! > Double Salmon --> these were also so good! > Pitcher of white sangria --> sweet, refreshing cocktail. Overall great experience. Servers were attentive. Music was bangin (love me some good ol R&B!!)

Service was flawless. Food was exceptional. Highly recommend.

I saw this restaurant in Tiktok where they have an oyster deal every Tuesday and Wednesday night. We decided to try it since my partner loves oysters and I can say that their food was good. However, I am rating them a 2 stars because one of their Oysters has a long worm (see the photo below) which makes us disappointed because they should be checking the foods that they were serving. We were supposed to try their shrimp and salmon but since we lost our appetite due to the worm, we decided to take our bill. They apologized about it and removed the oyster from our bill. It was kind of disappointing since it was our monthsarry dinner but it happened. Also, make sure that you have a reservation before coming there.

Haven t been back in over a year! The place did not disappoint. Food is as good as ever. We particularly enjoyed the oysters and the japa burger

We went here for a date night. The food is amazing. The presentation is excellent, each dish is so beautiful to see and well as eat. The pork belly and Lobster Fantasy were simply divine. My only complaint is the music played is too loud. Could not have a conversation, could not hear the servers.

First time there. Everyone enjoyed their food....bulgogi tacos, fish tacos and burgers were a hit. Unfortunately the food came out in staggered increments....a friend ordered fries and chicken - the fries arrived five minutes before anything else at the table and sat there getting cold. We ordered oysters because it was buck an oyster night and had to re-request them half way through dinner when it was apparent they were not coming. We were advised of last call thirtyy minutes before we had to vacate our table and told we had to go a half hour later which was fine as we were getting ready to go anyway. I understand wanting to rotate your tables but there were open tables in the restaurant and no one waiting to be seated. Service staff was pleasant but seemed unorganized.

Love the food here. Service is great too. Wish there was a Nome is Markham. I also want to shout out to chris for being a great help. 5 stars because of her superior service and positive attitude. Thank you for taking our last minute call orders on Monday night. See you soon :)

Great food, good drinks, great vibes

Angela was awesome!!!

Takoyaki 3/10 mostly dough. Oysters 7/10 good but small. Ive had the baked oysters from here before that are delicious Double salmon roll 8/10 Truffle gyozas 7/10 nothing special. Shrimp sliders 7/10 their original sliders are better. Not sure why this has raw onion on it. Doesnt taste good eith it at all and ruined my palate Kalbi 10/10 always.

The food at Nomé Izakaya (Don Mills) was superb albeit pricey. Everything was very unique. Highly recommend the tiger shrimp, lobster fantasy roll, spicy shrimp roll and their fresh oysters.

The food was amazing, service was great and everything was fast. My second time going here, loved it again

My favourite Uber eats choice in my neighbourhood

Great service and food

So excellent

I always order the same things when Im here: Japa burgers, aburi salmon donnburi, samurai crunch, and oysters. You cant go wrong with these food items. Personally, coming here during the weekday is better than the weekend. You can at least hear your company speaking. The weekends they have in-house DJ which makes it slightly difficult to chat. I will say though, I recently recently order the same food and it was underwhelming. The tastes and flavors were off. Now Im not sure if its cause it was late or the restaurant had to accomodate a bigger group but my samurai crunch lacked flavor and was watery. The aburi salmon donburi was also lacking in flavor and didnt hit the same. The oysters were significantly smaller than I remembered. This was probably a one-off. All in all, its still a great restaurant to dine in. 100% recommend to dine-in rather than take-out. Its a vibe.

Went in on a Monday night, was not busy at all. 3 servers working, rarely checked in on our party. Waited over 20 minutes after ordering a single desert. Had to get up and ask for the bill, our server was in the back I guess. Another server was sitting with friends at the bar. Food was decent, a little on the rich side with the sauces. Portions were good, fair for the price.

I love Nome in general, but this location beats the other one! Servers are definitely more friendly, and space is a lot bigger. Perfect for larger parties, in comparison to the other location.

Boisterous bar atmosphere. Attentive service. Great food selection.

I keep getting the short ribs for takeout. Their best item by a country mile.

I have become a regular at Nome because it is absolutely outstanding! The food is superb and is always consistently great, I have never had a bad experience with anything Ive ordered. The sashimi is the best in the city! The service is spectacular, everyone takes care of you and is super sweet. I 100% recommend Nome.

Service was great and food was amazing! DJ Saturday night was a touch loud- very hard to hear the person sitting right next to you / hear anything the server it was saying Food

The sliders and the beef tacos ( not pictured) were to die for. Will be back for those. Apparently the oysters were good as well according to my friends who eat seafood.

I used to go the other North York location all the time and had a really great experience there. While I think the service at this location at Shops at Don Mills is nowhere near as good, the quality of the food is excellent and the seafood is so fresh and beautifully presented.

Their exhaust wasn t working so it was so Smokey in there

Giving this 5 stars for the many many times I ve been here and been an amazing experience only had one experience that wasn t the best, but this is still my second favourite restaurant in Toronto, nonetheless. Overall: 4.5/5 Food: 5/5 Japa sliders 5/5: My favourite sliders in the GTA. I love the sauce on the burgers and they are usually amazing. Most people that have been here have also really liked this place. I came here after about a year on Feb 23rd late night and I asked for no tomatoes, but they ended up not putting any sauce either. I told the waiter and he just brought some sauce on the side, but it wasn t the same really. However, like I said, every other time it s amazing and doesn t change my review :) Tiger shrimp: 5/5 also a favourite and a hit; never a miss and so tasty with the lemon squeezed and I believe honey on it. Salmon Aburi Donburi: (not pictured): 4.5/5 I love this as well, it s so tasty and a unique dish that I haven t really had anywhere else Ambiance: 5/5 - very nice vibe; large ceilings, and just feels like a casual classy atmosphere. Only wish they had more seating! Service: 4/5 - I kinda hoped that I d get a fresh slider back but instead got a side sauce, so that s the only reason for a point off. However, everyone was super nice and friendly and still had great service overall. Parking: Parking is a little far because you need to park near the metro. It s not bad, it s just there s limited spots in front of the venue, so usually have to walk a few minutes.

Family dinner at Nome, server are too busy, Hard to call them for order. Food

No disadvantages except expensive

Came here with my girls on a weekday dinner. Menu was available thru QR code accessible on your phone. Food was amazing, our favorite were the bulgogi tacos. All of our food were fresh, packed with flavor, filling and were presented well. Portions were great. $1 oysters on tuesdays and wednesdays or 6 for $10. Sangria hit the spot, had a good balance of ingredients Food came fast and servers were friendly and attentive. They checked on us multiple times. Service was amazing. A tad bit pricey but worth it due to the quality of the food being served. The vibe and ambiance were great. The place looked clean. Has unisex bathrooms, although that needs some more attention by staff. The place is small so make sure to reserve a table in advance! In the summer they do have a patio. Parking: Lots of free parking by metro with just a short walk if you dont mind walking. If you plan to park very close, there are very limited parking spots.

First off, service was amazing. Angela was our main server and she was very friendly, prompt and attentive. However, the food was alright. Ordered 12 oysters and had at least 3 that tasted off. The Japa burgers we got (been ordering it for years as it s our favourite at Nome) didn t taste the same this time, not too impressed. So overall, after months of not going to Nome and looking forward to last night s snacks/drinks before our movie, we were very disappointed with the food experience.

I love Wednesdays when you get good quality oysters for a bargain. Remember, this is still a high-end restaurant with top Japanese food with a great variety of innovative dishes.

Amanda and Cindy were amazing, they provided over and beyond service and we intend on coming back just for them! Thanks again Nome!!

Fresh food, good quality however I have to say taste has changed quite a bit since they first opened. Not as well made as it used to be, I was quite disappointed yesterday with the rolls. Don t think it s worth the money. Used to be one of my fave sushi places, but standards have fallen lately.

Nomé is one of my favourite restaurants. The food is fantastic. There s so many options and everything is served hot and fresh. The service is extremely quick and the servers are all great. The only downside is the size of the restaurant. You re sitting extremely close to tables so it s definitely not a restaurant for an intimate dinner or date. It s very loud as well. It s perfect for a night out with friends though. I would highly recommend Nomé for anyone interested in Japanese Fusion cuisine

First off, there is not going to be any photos of food in this review because if you read the other reviews here you know how good it is! (& I m too busy eating it). This place offers Japanese fusion food and they make it so tasty!! My ultimate go-tos are the honey butter chips, the oysters, the kalbi ribs, the new ebi sliders, and honey bread!! Let s get to the vibe there now my friends and I always have an amazing time there on any day of the week. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are the $1 oyster deals but looking beyond that - the drinks, the music!! & the service. Amanda, the manager and Michelle, the bartender are so hospitable and always makes sure my group is well taken care of. If you like bottle service - they have that too . Go book a table there - there is a great selection of food and drinks. Best place to eat/drink at Shops.

Great atmosphere and awesome service- would recommend, especially when they have the oyster promotion on Tuesdays and Wednesdays

Came here on a Wednesday at 5pm when they opened. We ordered 36 oysters and at first, 12 oysters were served and we were told the next 24 would come. We waited 15 mins as other tables around us began to get plates and plates of oysters. We followed up and we were told that the ticket didn t print . How could it have not printed when the first 12 came and it was all ordered together? Subsequently, we were trying to order more food and we were trying to get any of the server s attention, especially the ones standing by the bar just chitchatting with one another, we waved to a tall, stout asian girl with long hair, who may have been a supervisor at the time as she was in different colour clothing? She made eye contact with us when we waved at her, but ultimately decided to keep chatting and ignored us. No one really checked in on us after our food arrived, besides the one time when our water was refilled. Hope the downtown location is better!

Been ordering from here in Uber for ages, finally got to go in person. So much better. Kid-friendliness: Our kids enjoyed it, no kids menu though Wheelchair accessibility: Tight to get in, but possible

Tastes good The little burger is delicious Parking: There is a parking lot behind the restaurant

Best date night spot at Shops at Don Mills. The food options are very wide and mostly fusion options, but you could easily come here and do a sushi only night. Everything is made with quality ingredients, and this spot has amazing oysters that keep me coming back.

Wish I could give it 5 stars but I and the majority of my group got food poisoning here. We got the japaburgers and oysters. What a disappointing turn of events for a fun celebration.

Went there during the Winterlicious program, on last dinner. It was greattttt the food was fabulous, the service was nice. Food : 4/5

Takoyaki - 3.5/5 Nomes Fried Chicken - 4.5/5 Double Salmon Roll - 2.5/5 Japa Burger Slider - 5/5 Food : 4/5 |

While the food was undeniably amazing, the overall dining experience was overshadowed by subpar service. Despite the delicious dishes, the lack of attention from the staff greatly impacted our evening, making it difficult to fully enjoy the culinary delights the restaurant had to offer. Our waiter went missing half way through the night, no one asked us if we wanted dessert, or if we wanted to order anything else/another drink. We waited 30 minutes for the bill after 2 different servers brought us the bill and 10 minutes later brought a machine for payment. To add to the frustration, other tables received apologies for the wait, while some servers were visibly engaged in on-the-clock drinks. This further tainted the overall service experience at the restaurant. The overall experience with the servers really disappointed us and we will not be returning to this location.

Probably my favorite izakaya in Toronto. My friends and I always have the best time here and cannot stop eating their delicious food. Their oyster special (tues and wed) is amazing and my favourite dish is currently the tuna brioche (bomb!). Theyre often busy so a reservation is definitely recommended. Great vibes, great service, great drinks and great food!

Nomé Izakaya stands out as an exceptional spot for those seeking a unique and enjoyable dining experience. The Izakaya-style menu offers a delightful array of small plates, each bursting with flavor and creativity. The ambiance is chic and modern, creating a welcoming atmosphere for both casual gatherings and special occasions. The Kalbi is a must when go eat here! As well as the Japa burgers!!

Nomé Izakaya is NOT a Japanese restaurant. It is a fusion restaurant with delicious Korean BBQ creations. Great bar. Great food. Great atmosphere.

Update 2023: Terrible service, my food was not registered and served more than 30min waiting after other foods. Overpriced food and drinks Not recommending this place 2022:The staff are not friendly. Great burger with delicious sauce! It was perfect.

Nome nails it! Scored a great $1 oyster deal on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The Japa Burger is a winner, and the sangria hits the spot. Oh, and dont sleep on the fried chicken its seriously good. A tasty all-around experience!

The atmosphere and the service were great. Would recommend their rolls, the risotto was creamy and their honey bread was good. This is a good place for a little snack and hangout with friends.

The food came out very randomly. One group at the table received their sashimi 15-20 before the other group got it. The sashimi served was also not the freshest

The sauce is very unique. Food is fresh. Small potions. Price is high. But in this area is well expected. Service is great.

Came here with a group of friends and we all loved the food. It s a little pricey but the quality is great.

Love the vibe in here. Highly recommend. Food and service was good. Been here couple time and always had good experience

the music was mind numbing. But, the staff spills beer on one of us AND still mandated the 18% minimal tipping.

Had a wonderful experience at Nomé! Reserved for a surprise birthday party with about 20 people three weeks in advance. The staff were all so so helpful, especially Michelle who was our server that night. She, along with the rest of the staff, were so kind and helped make sure our night ran smoothly. They let us decorate, put the cake we brought with us into the fridge, and bring it out with sparklers later on. Highly recommend coming here if you have a large party. Added bonus if you get Michelle as your server because she will help you out with anything and take great pics too!! For large parties they did let us know ahead of time of their $50/person, automatic 18% gratuity, and one bill policy ahead of time.

Nomé has been my go-to dinner pick for years now, always been so consistent from hospitality to their tasty foods. Wanted to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Michelle for her exceptional service and accommodating nature during our recent visit. Organizing a gathering for 20 people can be quite challenging, but Michelle made it effortless and enjoyable. Her attention to detail and dedication to ensuring everyone had a great time truly made our experience memorable. Thank you, Michelle, for going above and beyond.

Excellent from the second we walked through the door without a reservation! The hostess gave us a table with an hour and a half time limit, which was perfect for a couple of older gals on a school night as it were. Then immediately after seating we meet a server, (a beautiful young man) he took our drink order and offered suggestions about the menu, courteous and engaging. Of coures I did all the ordering, jfc type chicken thighs... couldve had 2 plates of those, so perfectly delicious crispy outside, juicy inside with wasabi mayo YUMMY!! Then melt in your mouth pork belly, their famous award winning beef ribs and finished with ginger salmon roll the feshest beautifully marbled salmon mmm mmmmm yummy! Meanwhile, the place started to fill up, the background music wasnt overwhelming, every server that served us, including the busser, approached us with a beautiful smile and all seemed happy to be there. This is my second experience here and the first was just as good. Ill be back again.

Delicious baked oyster and cod. Whenever I m craving baked oysters, Nome never disappoints!

Great place!! Great food!

Quick service and kind servers. The restaurant is clean and lively although a bit tight and smaller than youd expect. Everything was exceptional! Recommended dishes are: - Oysters - Japa Burgers - Aburi Salmon Donburi (You can taste the smokiness!) Sushi rolls are expensive but massive! If you love oysters, Id recommend coming on Tuesdays or Wednesdays for buck a shuck. Their East Coast oysters are fresh, tasty and succulent.

Great atmosphere with prompt servers. The aburi salmon donburi by surprise was the winner of the night, very creamy and you get the taste of salmon in every bite. Ebi katsu was not bad too, juicy and tender. Oden was a bit too salty, not impressed. Lobster roll was average.

The food was excellent as always, we had a birthday dinner here. They unfortunately Don t split bills which was fine, however when asked for a dessert with a candle on it, the server, just took a dessert that was ordered by someone else at the table, Added a candle on it and brought it over. They could ve just asked if we wanted another dessert specifically for the birthday or provided something small for free. Our bill was $1100 and it was quite embarrassing that one of the guests, on the far corner of the table had to salvage the dessert they ordered for themselves. Quite surprised, a higher end restaurant like this would cut corners this way. Our server Leroy, was excellent and took care of us well. & again the food was absolutely amazing.

Great food and service

The food is really good. The staff are amazing and the drinks can keep flowing if that is what you prefer. Sake bombs, short ribs and oysters. The perfect combo. Highlt recommend and suggest you book in advance as there could be a line up if you try to walk in.

We ve asked the server to help accommodate from 4 to 5 people, wouldn t allow us to add a seat to our table and we asked about getting the corner table that fit 5 people. Told us they have a reservation already which we later saw only 3 people were sitting at that table. We were also rushed to leave when we haven t finish all our food and half a pitcher of beer. Also asked the server for compensation for the inconvenience of not able to accommodate an extra seat, and never gave us a response. Food is mediocre at best.

The food was great. It seems like Nome has gotten better over the years. The service tonight was immaculate. The host greeted us very well. The restaurant was full but able to seat at the bar. The bartender, if I remember correctly , Michelle was awesome! Hope to be back there with fam and friends. Thank you!! A+++
