Sashimi moriwase, yam fries, oysters, seared mackerel - my favorite foods all in one place

First impression: the interior is similar to Hapa Izakaya - medium wood, sushi bar at the back, English speaking waitresses in black... However, I enjoyed Nome more - it is very comfortable and cozy, sort of like a tavern/pub with the NBA and English music playing. Arrived around 6:30 Tuesday, full house as the night went on.

very heavy teapot ($1.50 for tea)

I love yam fries, of course I had to order them even at izakaya! Hot and crispy, sprinkled with some pesto herb flakes which gave it a distinct flavor. The sauce was just regular mayo, not as good as garlic mayo or other flavors at Moxies/Joey (my favorite)

Tuesdays & Wednesdays: A BUCK (or two) A SHUCK

The reason I came was for the $1 oyster special. Turns out only Malpeque was $1 - the others go from $1.50 to $2.50 (but the Malpeque turned out to be the best!)
 
Clockwise:
Kumamoto - small
Malpeque - smooth, slightly sweet, light, clean
Fanny Bay - big, meaty, salty
French Kiss
Lambertini - 鯹

Sashimi moriwase (small) - salmon, tuna, flounder, seared tuna, white tuna

Seared mackerel

Subtle sweet taste. However, it was a bit overcooked. (Best seared mackerel: Fin Izakaya)


Round 2: can really see/taste the difference between Fanny Bay and Malpeque.

Very full and satisfying meal! $70~ for 2 people.

Verdict: Food was good, but need to go back to try izakaya items
Very attentive, patient and knowledgeable server - I asked so many questions on type of fish/sauce/seasonings.
