Their buck a shuck Tuesdays and Wednesdays are unbeatable, thus very popular, so definitely make a reservation through OpenTable a couple days in advance. \n\nWe had a reservation for 5:15pm today for 2 and we were seated promptly upon arriving. They told me about the 2 hour seating limit, which was fine. I usually get the Fanny Bay oysters - they're my absolute favourite. They go for $10 for 8. However, they were sold out today. My server recommended that we tried the Lucky oysters, which were a seasonal special. They were delicious and basically tasted like the Fanny Bays, except a little sweeter. A great recommendation, and they were $1 each, which was cheaper than the Fanny bays. Unfortunately, they're only a seasonal oyster and the server said they may be losing them soon. \n\nThe Japaburgers are another one of my favourite things on their menu. I was so excited to eat them that I forgot to take a picture. They're mini sliders that have the perfect combination of tastes in each bite. The patty is a little sweet and tastes kind of like bulgogi, and it's topped with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and some sort of garlicky sauce. I've never had a burger like it and everyone I've recommended it to has always been blown away. \n\nI decided to try something new on this visit, so we ordered the aburi salmon donburi, and it has become another one of my favourites here. The portion was pretty big considering it was only $12.80. It had an abundance of salmon, a poached egg yolk, and a bunch of greens mixed with an aburi sauce on top of a bed of sushi rice. You mix it all up before eating it, and again, it was another perfect combination of flavours. \n\nNom\u00E9 has never failed to impress me in the countless times I've visited and I will continue to come back and recommend this place to all my friends."^^ .
