Diners describe Nama Omakase as a standout fusion of Japanese and French influences, with exceptionally fresh fish, inventive yet harmonious flavor pairings, and an intimate, elegantly modern atmosphere. The omakase experiences are widely praised for thoughtful curation and beautiful presentation, though several reviews note that portions can feel small for the price and a few courses or moments can vary. Service is repeatedly highlighted as attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly, with many accounts of staff guiding the meal and sharing details about ingredients and techniques, while a minority report slower pacing or inconsistent timing. The overall experience is seen as high end and ideal for special occasions, with many mentioning memorable touches, personalized attention, and standout desserts, cocktails or sake pairings. Ambiance and decor are often described as chic yet cozy, complementing the culinary journey, even as some listeners feel the music volume or the high price point keep it from being universally accessible.
La nourriture était simplement excellente, plusieurs services & chaque plats étaient expliqué. Très belle expérience, bonne atmosphère avec dj le weekend. Merci pour cette belle expérience.
The food is impeccable & the service is top tier! Our waiter Felix described every dish that were presented to us with great knowledge & the pairing recommandations were on point
We went out for a friends birthday last friday. Food was amazing, great taste, quality products & excellent service from Felix. To top it off a dj was mixing the whole night! Would definitely go again!!
The food was outstanding, & the service matched the high standard the kitchen set. Our server (Félix) knew the menu inside & out-walking us through each dish, explaining what everything was, & even sharing the best way to enjoy it. Great experience from start to finish. I highly recommend it, you won't be disappointed.
First time we go there & will not be the last time for sure. The service, the food, the music, decor everything was just on point. We kept ordering & ordering food because the dishes felt light & fresh & creative . We loved our experience there !!

More than excellent service !!! Really glad I gave it a shot ! The best sushi omakase spot ever !! Every dish was packed with so much flavor. Nama truly has an outstanding chef, very friendly & meticulous making sure every plate was up to satisfaction. Thank you !!!! Definitely adding this place in my regular rotation. Nice cozy place to impress a date.
Une expérience culinaire mémorable grâce au menu dégustation, qui nous a permis de découvrir des plats raffinés, créatifs & parfaitement équilibrés. Chaque service était soigné & bien présenté, avec des saveurs surprenantes & harmonieuses.
Le service était attentionné sans être envahissant, & l'ambiance chaleureuse & décontractée rend l'expérience encore plus agréable. Une très belle découverte que je recommande sans hésitation. Nous y retournerons assurément !
I can't even begin to state how delicious the meals at Nama were. So thoughtfully curated, so well presented & incredibly tasty!
We decided on the 135$ set course meal & we received 10 items in total, & 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 & 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) & the sake dessert!!!
Now, for those of us who enjoy ambiance & 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 & such service that just further built the ambiance to a luxurious level for us. Our waiter was intentional, detail oriented & though we went on Valentine's Day weekend & 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, & the way it was designed & thought out. It wasn't transactional & 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 & 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 & the stracciatella squash! We can't wait to come back with our friends & 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 & quality seemed excellent. Dropped a point because it was both not enough & too much. Perhaps that's just me. The service was friendly, engaging, efficient, superb team work & 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 & his team are incredibly talented & creative with their dishes. I've experienced Gacong's omakase before, & it somehow gets better every single time. The attention to detail is unmatched, & 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! 😋✨
We've been here a few times, most recently to try their omakase. We loved it! Fish tasted super fresh, their rice is really good. Will definitely go back again.
