Review Summary

Reviews describe Nama Omakase as a standout fusion omakase experience with fresh, high quality fish, creative pairings and beautiful plating in an intimate, elegant setting. Diners repeatedly praise the balance of Japanese and French influences, lively yet refined service, and carefully paced courses, with many noting that the chef and staff bring knowledge and warmth to the meal. Highlights frequently mentioned include the sashimi and nigiri quality, beef and wagyu dishes, and inventive small plates, while some notes mention occasional inconsistency, small portions for the price, and service gaps or slower pacing at peak times. Cocktails and wine pairings are a common plus, though a few reviews felt drinks were not up to the same standard as the food. Overall, Nama Omakase is widely regarded as among the top omakase experiences in the city, celebrated for culinary artistry, atmosphere, and attentive service, with most guests eager to return, while a minority caution that the experience can be pricey and not for every budget.

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.

Cuisine fusion japonaise-française délicieuse, plats montés avec grand art. Les menus découverte sont très (trop) copieux. Le décor post-industriel de la salle à manger est très beau. Juste la musique électronique un peu trop forte.

La cuisine y est véritablement inventive; chaque plat a été une délicieuse surprise, offrant un plaisir tant visuel que gustatif.J'ai particulièrement apprécié l'omakase du chef GaCong Ruan, qui est un véritable artiste. De plus, vous proposez une très belle sélection de whiskys & de sakés.

We tried the chef course which costs $200 per person before tax & tips.
The amount was not enough.

The dining experience goes way beyond the usual - elevated, creative & seriously delicious. The 60 hour braised Galbi Ribeye? Unreal. Rich, tender a flavour combo thats next level.. The rest of the menu holds up too, delicate tatakis, crispy eggplant katsu - you name it. I've been there for a couple of different occasions & each time felt special in its own way. The ambiance, service & food consistently exceeded expectations. One of a kind -truly a gem..

Drinks easily some of the best cocktails I've had in the city in a while A+++

We ordered a few of the mains . My fav was between the beef or miso Cod.

Both A+

Also got the 20 piece sashimi & I don't know where they get their salmon & tuna from but they melted in mouth like butter

We got 3 sides & all of them were top notch but beef tartare was my personal favorite.

Coming back soon

Nama Omakase was such a great experience from start to finish.
The food was absolutely delicious - beautifully prepared, incredibly fresh, & full of flavour. The drinks were just as good: well balanced, tasty, & not overly sweet, which I really appreciated.
The service was phenomenal. Everyone was attentive, knowledgeable, & genuinely welcoming, & the pacing of the evening felt perfect.
The space itself is stunning - gorgeous, moody, & intimate, with a really nice atmosphere that makes the whole experience feel special.
Overall, everything just came together so well. Easily one of the best dining experiences I've had in Montreal, & I'd happily go back.
