We took the 100$ omakase menu for 2 people, and we were quite disappointed by it. The dishes were good (the eggplant was amazing), but the fish had nothing special and was pretty tasteless. We were told that the difference between the 100$ and 135$ menu was the makis so we were fine not to have them. However the portions were pretty small and we were also quite surprised that for this price we had to share one and only one main dish. We ended up finishing the course hungry and ordering the makis on the side (36$ for 6 makis, I would advise you to not take them because they were not worth it). On the other side the service was exceptional! We were well taken care of!! Restaurant was pretty noisy, and you could have participated in the discussion of the table behind us. Overall the food was good, but the quality and the quantities are absolutely not justifying the price.

The new manager was a delight just like the food and experience. He was most certainly the MVP. He made sure my hubby’s bday was unforgettable and went the extra mile with even the smallest details and gave us top notch recommendation for everything. The chef even came to greet us, it was such a lovely surprise. We picked the $135 omakase and honestly, the $100 would have been more than enough. Every dish was well thought of and the sushi was to die for. We can’t wait to go back and try the special 12 course omakase experience at the bar.

tried the omakase. hot and miss on the different plates. some are too complicated for no reason. could be so much better if simplified a little. less is more sometimes. good ambiance and excellent service. a bit over priced for what you get.

We dined at Nama Omakase with high expectations, given its positioning as an upscale omakase restaurant. Unfortunately, the experience fell short in several important ways, especially at this price point. During the meal, we encountered a bone in the Nama Maki ($55 before tax). In a restaurant of this caliber, proper fish preparation is non-negotiable. This is not a minor oversight but a fundamental error that raises concerns about quality control and attention to detail. What was more disappointing was how this was handled. When we informed the waitress clearing our plates, she responded that she would let the chef know, but no one followed up with us afterward. There was no acknowledgment, apology, or attempt to address the issue during the meal. Later, when another server asked about our experience while we were paying, we raised it again and were simply thanked for the feedback, again, with no real ownership or resolution. We had also noted in our reservation that we were celebrating my husband’s birthday, but this was completely overlooked. We had to remind the staff ourselves near the end of the meal, which defeats the purpose of providing that information in advance. For a restaurant that emphasizes experience, this lack of attentiveness is disappointing. (I now noticed this has happened to many other diners who shared their disappointment in their review) In terms of the food, while some dishes showed creativity, there were inconsistencies. For example, one piece of the duck was noticeably tough and difficult to chew, lacking the tenderness expected from a properly prepared dish, especially in a fine dining setting. To add to this, we discovered that an 18% gratuity was automatically applied because part of the bill was paid using a gift card. This was not disclosed anywhere on the Costco purchase page, nor was it communicated by the restaurant beforehand. While we would have willingly tipped 20% for good service, imposing a gratuity without transparency, especially tied to the method of payment, is not acceptable. We paid $525.25 for two adults (without drinks). At this level, guests expect not just excellent food, but polished service, consistency, and accountability when things go wrong. While the restaurant shows potential, the overall experience was undermined by these lapses. For a premium omakase restaurant, both execution and service need to be held to a much higher standard. P/S: The first dish of Hokkaido Scallops was exquisite IMHO.

Tried the Omakase menu to celebrate my friend’s birthday. They even brought a little extra dessert for her. It was a delicious and fun experience where each service was explained by the chef directly. We loved it :) Here’s 3 of my favorite bites (but all of them were good!)

We sat at the Chef’s counter last night and it was truly a lovely experience filled with some amazing flavors. Splurge for the add-ons, they are worth it. I highly recommend this experience with the sake pairing for a special occasion. The ambiance in the place was also very nice. The staff was friendly and courteous and just wanted us to have a great time. Book in advance and you will not be disappointed!

I had the pleasure of dining at Nama this evening for their Omakase experience. From beginning to end, the service and food is incredible. The staff and chef ensure you enjoy every part of the evening. Chef GaCong clearly loves what he does because he put so much attention into every dish. He was a delight to chat with. If you ever want to celebrate an event or simply enjoy a new experience, I strongly recommend Nama.

Wow! Recently tried their limited $98 omakase for March and I loved every single bite. The quality improves every time I visit, I remember I didn't love the rice last year but now it was great. Also the value for the limited omakase is really good for the price and what you get: 12 amazing courses! Also it's not pretentious and chef Gacong really takes care of you and explains everything. I would highly recommend to anyone who appreciates quality sushi!

The food was outstanding, and the service matched the high standard the kitchen set. Our server (Félix) knew the menu inside and out—walking us through each dish, explaining what everything was, and even sharing the best way to enjoy it. Great experience from start to finish. I highly recommend it, you won’t be disappointed.

I can’t even begin to state how delicious the meals at Nama were. So thoughtfully curated, so well presented and incredibly tasty! We decided on the 135$ set course meal and we received 10 items in total, and I couldn’t tell you what our favorite dish was as everything was delicious! The set menu came with generous portions of a carpaccio, a scallop/endive dish, a squash/stracciatella dish, a fried eggplant katsu, a roasted brusselsprout dish, 4 types of nigiri, 2 types of makis, a duck/foie gras main and 2 desserts. If you ever go, everything we had was so delicious so you truly cannot go wrong with anything you select, but I HIGHLY recommend trying the eggplant (one of the best eggplants dishes I’ve ever had) and the sake desert!!! Now, for those of us who enjoy ambiance and finish selections at restaurants, what a truly gorgeous experience it was to eat at Nama. From the beginning of the night, you are greeted with such class and such service that just further built the ambiance to a luxurious level for us. Our waiter was intentional, detail oriented and though we went on Valentine’s Day weekend and they were very busy, we never felt forgotten. The space is so beautifully designed which only enhanced our experience. Overall, you can tell that a lot of love goes into every aspect of this restaurant - from the food, to the experience they deliver to their guests, and the way it was designed and thought out. It wasn’t transactional and we were so well taken care of. If you’re ever looking to splurge on dinner, this is the place to do it.

What an amazing experience! From the greeting at the door to the last course. Every little detail was well thought out. We opted for the omakase and every course was well curated. We came expecting the fish to be the stand out. But to our surprise, the vegetable dishes blew our minds! You have to try the eggplant katsu and the stracciatella squash! We can’t wait to come back with our friends and try the rest of the menu!

We had the 100$/pp omakase experience. The quality of the food was top-notch, the portions are okay, we were expecting 2 portions of the “main course” dish but only received 1 for 2 people. Other than that it was excellent.

Not qualified to comment on the finer points of sushi but the presentation and quality seemed excellent. Dropped a point because it was both not enough and too much. Perhaps that's just me. The service was friendly, engaging, efficient, superb team work and literally the perfect compliment to the menu. Atmosphere? well the space is perfect, dropped a point for a very strange turn in the background music which provided a too loud soundtrack to the latter part of the experience. But perhaps I'm the wrong demographic which was almost 100% latter day yuppies, not that the staff treated this middle boomer any differently.

I had one of the best dining experiences at Nama! Gacong and his team are incredibly talented and creative with their dishes. I’ve experienced Gacong’s omakase before, and it somehow gets better every single time. The attention to detail is unmatched, and each bite truly feels like an experience in itself. I couldn’t stop saying “mmm” after every course. I already can’t wait to go back! 😋✨
