I had the pleasure of dining at Nama Omakase last night & it was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was intimate & refined, setting the stage for what turned out to be an extraordinary culinary journey.
Every course was thoughtfully prepared & beautifully presented. The fish was incredibly fresh-melt-in-your-mouth quality-& the balance of flavors in each bite showed true mastery. The chef's creativity really shined through with unique combinations I've never seen before, yet everything worked harmoniously.
The service was warm, attentive, & knowledgeable without being overbearing. You can tell there's passion behind everything they do here-from the pacing of the meal to the way each dish is introduced.
This was easily one of the best omakase experiences I've had in Montreal. If you're a sushi lover or simply looking to treat yourself to something special, Nama is a must. I'll definitely be back.View more

🌟 What an unforgettable night for my 32nd birthday! 🎉🎂
My partner & I had the absolute pleasure of experiencing the 16-course omakase at Nama with the incredibly talented Chef GaCong Ruan - & let me tell you, this was nothing short of magical. 🍣🍷
I've had the privilege of dining at some of the finest restaurants around the world, & Nama has officially earned a spot in my Top 3 Japanese culinary experiences. I'm genuinely confident this gem 💎 is on its way to a Michelin star - they wholeheartedly deserve it. 🌟🇯🇵
From the mesmerizing music 🎶 to the elegant & intimate atmosphere ✨, every detail sets the stage for a deeply immersive dining journey. The sake & wine pairings were divine 🍶🍷, enhancing every dish with thoughtful balance. Each course was a showstopper - layered, surprising, savory, & absolutely unforgettable. I couldn't even pick a favorite because every single plate was a masterpiece 🔥
But what truly stood out? The passion ❤?, precision, & professionalism that Chef GaCong brings to every bite - all brought to life by the warm, attentive Nama team who made sure our celebration was topped with surprising & caring touches from start to finish. 🙏
The energy at Nama is inspiring, & the attention to detail is simply unmatched. If you're even thinking about it - don't hesitate. I recommend this experience 110% & cannot wait to go back again (& again!) 💯🙌View more

Went here for the lunch set menu. $40 for three courses was a good deal. The beef tartare was amazing my favourite was the eggplant katsu as I have never tried eggplant cooked this way. It was quiet around lunch time & service was very attentive. Decor was modern & pleasing to the eyes.View more

The meal at Nama offered moments of promise, notably the well-cooked but overly sweet Miso Black Cod & attentive, knowledgeable service in an elegant setting. However, execution was inconsistent: the Octopus Leg was dry & flavorless, the Halibut Beurre Blanc was overcooked & poorly balanced, & the $60 Nigiri Omakase lacked standout quality to justify its price. The sake selection also underwhelmed, leaning unexpectedly sweet. Despite its upscale ambitions & strong presentation, Nama fell short of delivering value or consistency, especially compared to other high-end Japanese restaurants in Montreal.View more

Great experience!! Delicious flavours! Just a heads up - a few of those courses are just nigiri - granted, the most creative & delicate nigiri that I have had in Montreal, but for those who enjoy bigger meals, I wouldn't come hungry😂. But honestly, some of my favorite courses of this omakase were the nigiris! I loved how they incorporated all the familiar flavours (eg. Ume, yuzu, gochugaru etc) into a new dish while not overpowering the fish itself. & their trou normand (salted cucumber granita) was out of this world. I am a super fan of sweet & salty so all the sweet dishes really spoke to me. & the service was great! Very attentive & well orchestrated while maintaining a super chill & warm vibe. Honestly, a great experience! Bravo, Nama!View more

5 stars - An Exceptional Omakase Experience
Nama Omakase delivers an unforgettable dining experience from start to finish. Every dish was beautifully plated & thoughtfully crafted, showcasing top-tier ingredients & inspired flavor combinations.
We started with the Scallop Leche de Tigre-Japanese scallop with pomegranate, avocado, shiso, & lemon. Bright, fresh, & incredibly well balanced. The Ora King Tartare with ponzu, wasabi, & watermelon radish was equally stunning-delicate but full of personality.
The Soft Shell Crab was a standout-crispy & rich, served with kimchi, cucumber, salmon roe, & an indulgent spot prawn bisque. The flavors were bold but refined.
We finished with a 12-piece sashimi moriawase & 6-piece nigiri omakase-impeccably fresh fish, perfect rice, & elegant presentation. Every bite was close your eyes heaven.
Service was excellent-attentive, knowledgeable, we arrived really early (5:30pm because we had a show to get to on a Monday night, so despite look was sleek & intimate, making it perfect for a special night out, it wasn't busy. The staff mentionned that we were in fact early
Highly recommended for anyone looking for a next-level omakase in Montreal.View more

Can't say enough good things about this food, experience, & chef! What a fantastic restaurant! The food itself was divine, with each course more unique & flavorful than the next. But what really made this meal so special was the attentive & friendly service, the ambiance, & the welcoming environment. The wine was great too! GaCong the head chef was incredible & knowledgeable, & made us feel so special. A must try! We will be back.View more

I had dinner tonight with my family at Nama. We had an amazing experience. First of all, I would like to thank our server. He was phenomenal. We had our kids tonight, who are 5 & 7. Having kids in fancy places can be stressful, but the entire team there was so kind & attentive. Our server was patient & nice. He helped us with the menu & checked in on us. Not only did we have great service, but so did the kids. My son & daughter felt included in our experience. The bartender was great. I had the espresso martini. My drink was strong. My kids had a mocktail. I mentioned the kids' preference, & the bartender made the perfect fruity mocktail. They enjoyed it. The pictures shown are what we ordered tonight. My kids enjoyed the octopus. It wasn't chewy & the sauce that came with it was delicious. The salmon tartare is good but we were most impressed with the tapioca cracker that came with it. The sashimi is nicely cut & fresh. Their soy sauce is salty & doesn't overpower the fish. My favorite is the makis.I love the taste of the maki without too many ingredients or sauces on top. You can taste the protein in each one. We highly recommend the ramen dish. The broth was creamy with a ton of flavor & the noodles were cooked perfectly. The rack of lamb was cooked well & didn't taste gamey. We finished the night with the coconut cake & ice cream. The dessert had a sweet & sour flavor. The green tea cheesecake was also good. Thanks to the team for the experience. We had a wonderful time celebrating my partner's birthday. We will definitely be back for the Omakase experience & more.View more
