Nome Izakaya - Toronto

This is one of my favorite restaurants, especially on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, when they have a cripple! her eating has so much taste and his cheap (my favorite dish is the jumbo garnelen and lobster sushi). the service is very good and they bring the food immediately. the only negatiw I should say is that it is really hard to sit or get a table without reservation. but overall the experience is great. I also go to their other location that is closer to the place where I live in the shops in don mills

So, normally I write these reviews with a few pictures. tonight we were very hungry and my phone was dying, so we decided to enjoy only a good meal. the only bad thing I can say about this place is that there is no wheelchair-friendly washroom. they warned us and put us both on a foursome to take up my disabled son, although they were very busy and the people were waiting to sit. we started with a piece order of sashimi and a bbq duck roll. without hesitation, I would like to say that the plate of sashimi that arrived was the best thing I ever had. this place sets the bar quite dared high. the bbq duck roll was something completely different. If you're a fan of peking duck, that's for you. every mouthful pays hommage to a well prepared peking duck. my son found this roll a little challenging as it requires a hearty chewing. this was a very good way to begin the meal, and we felt that she could not improve, we were wrong. next we asked about the sliders, it seemed that everyone ordered them so that we had to try them. with the sliders we also asked the deepthreat fried pork belly. they made the mistake of bringing them together. I took the tomate from one of the slider and gave this and a pig bell to my son. he ate the pork belly and then took a bite on the slider. he put the slide down and absconded with the whole plate of pork belly. I only have him, and he looked at me when I even tried to shove another one. for the guidance of the meal we had their glittering and flat filtered water. the only way to improve this would have been a little sake, but I drove and it was late. with top it came to more expensive than we are used, but worth every penny.

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.

Food was very good, but portions are on the smaller end so if sharing, better with a couple people.

Great for their $1 oysters on tues/Wednesday. The sushi rolls were great too. The fried chicken was okay but a good place to share appetizers with
