| - As you will see from some of my other reviews, this strip of Yonge st and Sheppard, up to Yonge and Finch is a frequent area because my family has lived here and I have seen it change so much.
Nome Izakaya is the best thing to happen to this area. I almost do not want to write a review because it is my best kept secret.
Think about it : Uptown, cheap or free parking, great food, beautiful lounge, hiphop music, ufc, basketball on huge clear TV's that do not interrupt the amazing hip decor. Unreal.
This is a place for a young, hip crowd, but not at all pretentious.
Sharing plates:
- japa burger - very good
-spicy octopus -okay
- calamari - okay
- COW TONGUE - first time having it, not a fan but I heard it is a delicacy
- fried pork belly -very good
- tiger shrimp - very good
- oysters - amazing
Drinks: Drinks were off the hook, the names are exotic but one that stands out was ciroc, milk and peach snapps. The Sake is great.
Service: servers are very hot import model look alikes. Nice. Spoke to the manager or owner named Pat. He is SO hospitable and nice.
Space: Very nicely minimal decor. Nice set up. It is a long restaurant and narrow. I think the capacity comfy would be 40 or less.
Price: Medium. Could be a lot if you do not ration the food you may order. and then the drinks.
This place is super fly and one time I was here and a dj started setting up playing some sick hiphop. This could only work in this area. If they opened anywhere else it would be trashed so easily or it would be way over priced.
I love this place:)
