About

Nama Omakase focuses on the precision of Japanese culinary arts through a curated sequence of seasonal sushi preparations. The kitchen emphasizes the raw quality of maritime ingredients by utilizing traditional slicing techniques that highlight natural textures. Each presentation follows a deliberate flow, balancing vinegared rice with fresh seafood to ensure consistent flavor profiles across every portion. Creative compositions incorporate subtle seasonings that respect the original integrity of the fish without excessive masking. The environment centers on an open preparation counter that allows for clear observation of the technical skills required for authentic nigiri assembly. This establishment prioritizes the direct relationship between prepared portions and the raw material provided by global coastal sources. The result is a methodical approach to seafood consumption that adheres strictly to established minimalist traditions.

Review Summary

Nama Omakase offers a sophisticated and intimate dining experience that many guests describe as a highlight of Montreal's culinary scene. Most diners praise the high quality of the fresh fish, the creative French-Japanese fusion dishes, and the meticulous presentation, with many highlighting the eggplant katsu and tartares as standout items. While the majority of visitors rave about the warm, professional service and the engaging interaction with the chefs at the counter, a few guests noted inconsistencies regarding portion sizes, pacing, or specific service lapses during busier times. The ambiance is generally viewed as elegant and well-suited for special occasions, though opinions on the music volume and price-to-value ratio vary among patrons. Despite these occasional mixed reviews, many guests consider the restaurant a memorable destination that earns strong recommendations for its passion and craftsmanship.

Découverte incroyable pour notre premier Omakase pour célébrer notre anniversaire. Merci au chef GaCong (& pour la petite dédicace sur le menu!) pour la qualité du menu & des produits, ainsi qu'aux serveurs (Titouan en particulier) pour le très bon service qu'on a reçu, les bons conseils pour découvrir du saké de qualité & pour la petite attention d'anniversaire. Vous nous avez fait passer une très belle soirée du début à la fin (de l'entrée au dessert - dessert incroyable), alors un grand merci à tous!

I was there in May 2026 for my birthday.

I had the Omakase. We were offered many dishes which we paired with premium Sake.

Every dish was outstanding. All the ingredients were fresh & of premium quality. The chef knows the exact amount of wasabi & ingredients to optimize the taste of the dish.

The service was also very good & professional.

It's a great Omakase. I recommend this experience to everyone.

Loved it, the food, the chef, the host. Would definitely recommend & return. My only little comment is that the music was a bit too loud for our preferences. Other than that 10/10

We had the 12 course omakase for $98 & this was our first time having a'real' omakase experience in Montreal! Meaning that the chef actually made each course of nigiri in front of us & chatted with us the whole evening. Chef GaCong Ruan was super personable & friendly & not a single dish was a miss for us. You can tell that the chef & staff are just really passionate about food & making a memorable experience for their guests. Can't recommend enough!

(Edit to add: At the time of posting this review I think the menus online are out of date... I don't think there are multiple omakase price points.

Second edit: I was wrong! There are multiple omakases - apparently the other price points are dining room only, not counter service. Thanks for the clarification! )

We went here twice & tried both of the menus & had great food each time. The chef at the bar was super nice & made sure we understood everything we were being served. The flavour combinations they made were amazing. Overall, great experience both times. I would definitely go again!

Had a chance to try the omakase experience yesterday & it was marvelous. Chef Sunny really made us discover sushi like I've never tried before. The star of the show was Titouan though! He was so friendly! He recommended us two Sake & a Japanese whiskey that truly elevated the experience. Will definitely be coming back xoxo 😘
