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.
We had a wonderful time for the first Omakase service. The staff is very nice & the chef is super sweet. The people make the soul of a place, & this place has a lot of soul. Every course was great to excellent & the nigiri were on par with top establishment I've had the chance to visit in Tokyo, Osaka or Kyoto. This is not a gimmick, it's a proper Omakase. Will return, highly recommendable.
I had a phenomenal experience eating there. The duck was my personal favourite; it wasn't too overwhelming on the palate & nicely paired with the raspberry sauce. The rice pudding was also very enjoyable. The taste profile was very subtle, but equally good. The texture on it was on point! The waiters made the experience even better, offering a very welcoming atmosphere to the customers. Every dishes were thoroughly explained & gave a nice insight on the source of the ingredients. Would highly recommend. Also the espresso martini, chefs kiss.

We were a group of 6 & had the $170 omakase course, & the experience was amazing from start to finish. The restaurant has a really nice, chill vibe with great music played at the perfect volume so we could actually have a conversation. Our waiter Felix & the manager Titouan were extremely nice & took the time to explain every dish & the optimal way to eat each one. Following their recommendation, we tried the TENMEI Junmai Hiire Orange Label sake, which had a very crisp taste & was incredibly smooth to sip on throughout the entire meal. Among the various dishes we were served, there were a few major highlights: the beef tartare was excellent on its own, but I highly recommend putting all the sides provided on the plate into the seaweed sheet for an unbelievable combination. The eggplant katsu was also delicious, especially when eaten simultaneously with the salad. We were served four different types of nigiri that were all unique in flavor & absolutely delicious. To top it all off, I had an espresso martini at the end of the course which went very well with the dessert. It was a fantastic meal with top-tier service.
Wonderful experience with the Omakase special. Each bite was delightful, the sushi was so fresh, the pacing & amount of food was perfect. Cocktails & sake were also wonderful. As usual, the service was very personal & attentive. Brought my son for his first omakase & we both loved our experience, thank you!
My experience at Nama Omakase was memorable. The cold starters were fresh & savory, & the staff took the time to explain the ingredients behind every bite. The service was friendly & welcoming, making it clear that immense time are poured into each dish. I will definitely be back!

Tried the Omakase experience & it was really good. The food is in high quality & it tastes really good. Definitely will come back for either the Omakase experience or items on the menu.
It was my first visit, & I went with the omakase option, everything was wonderful. I left completely satisfied with no complaints. The espresso martini was also delightful !
tried the omakase. hot & 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 & excellent service. a bit over priced for what you get.

We took the 100$ omakase menu for 2 people, & we were quite disappointed by it. The dishes were good (the eggplant was amazing), but the fish had nothing special & was pretty tasteless.
We were told that the difference between the 100$ & 135$ menu was the makis so we were fine not to have them. However the portions were pretty small & we were also quite surprised that for this price we had to share one & only one main dish. We ended up finishing the course hungry & 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, & you could have participated in the discussion of the table behind us.
Overall the food was good, but the quality & the quantities are absolutely not justifying the price.
Je suis allé chez Nama Omakase sur la recommandation d'un ami & j'ai vécu une expérience vraiment différente. Chaque plat préparé par le chef était très réussi. L'endroit est petit, mais ça rend l'ambiance plus intime & spéciale. Le service était très attentionné. Les prix sont élevés, mais pour l'expérience, ça vaut vraiment la peine. En général, j'ai été très satisfait.

We ordered all the appetizers on the menu & drank espresso martinis & everything was amazing! The service provided by Felix was impeccable, would definitely go again!
The new manager was a delight just like the food & experience. He was most certainly the MVP. He made sure my hubby's bday was unforgettable & went the extra mile with even the smallest details & 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 & honestly, the $100 would have been more than enough. Every dish was well thought of & the sushi was to die for. We can't wait to go back & try the special 12 course omakase experience at the bar.
Vraiment très bon restaurant avec une énergie général assez cool. Les plats étaient super copieux & on est ressorti de la très satisfait
Merci a Titouan pour son excellent service
Superbe expérience pour nos 5 ans avec mon conjoint.
L'ambiance était chaleureuse ; teintée de bonne petite musique house. Les plats raffinés, variés & copieux pour le menu en 5 services (avec 2 à 3 assiettes par services). Merci à Titouan pour son accueil & sa belle énergie, qui nous a fait passer un super moment !
