| - Nomé calls themselves an authentic Japanese izakaya on their website but I totally disagree. The restaurant does have vibes like an izakaya but the food doesn't exactly hit the spot as an izakaya if that makes sense. I would call this place an Asian fusion spot instead. So if you're looking for a place that is more like an izakaya, I would suggest places like Kinka or Kingyo instead.
Here is what we ordered at Nomé:
(1) Fanny Bay Oysters: Nomé has oyster specials on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. You get 8 fanny bay oysters for $10, which is a decent deal. The oysters are decent (fresh enough) and the sizes are reasonable. There was also a variety of sauces that you can put on your oysters.
(2) Sesame Salmon: We originally saw a picture on Yelp of this dish that looked pleasing. But anyway, DO NOT ORDER THIS DISH. This dish was a big joke. The salmon was diced into small pieces and there was no garlic or chives on the salmon as how the menu described this dish. They literally put sesame oil over the salmon and called it a day. The portion was so small and it was almost $9!!!! The salmon was also worse than AYCE quality. Such a disappointment. It seems like you really need to follow the chef suggestions on the menu or else things seem to be a miss. One star docked because of this.
(3) Japa-Burgers: Okay, this was one of the best dishes I have tried at Nomé. The onions, the smoky barbecue sauce and the rib eye meat all complemented each other. Highly recommend this.
(4) Monkfish Tacos: The portions were quite large for these tacos. However, I wasn't crazy about the monkfish being that deep fried. It tasted more so like fried cod and the distinct flavour of the monkfish was kinda destroyed by frying the fish. However, the yuzu tartar really complemented the taco.
(5) Lobster Fantasy Speciality Roll: The portions were quite large for this roll. However, it was quite pricey at around almost $20. In my opinion, the roll was on the dry side but you can still taste pieces of the lobster. It was okay but I don't think I would order again since it was quite pricey.
The service at this place is also questionable. Sometimes, it's good... but sometimes it is not so good. I found it hard to flag down our waitress. Another star docked for this as well.
All in all, I would come back to the restaurant again for their Oyster specials but I wouldn't exactly come to get my izakaya craving satisfied.
