Review Summary

Reviews of Nama Omakase describe an intimate stylish setting and a high quality experience with a creative French Japanese fusion omakase that many diners find memorable and at times outstanding. The dishes are praised for freshness, balance, and refined textures, with highlights including standout nigiri, seafood selections, and thoughtful pairings. The service is described as attentive, knowledgeable, and welcoming, though a few reviews note inconsistency at times and price concerns. Overall, the consensus is that Nama Omakase offers a sophisticated dining journey that impresses for special occasions and for sushi lovers, while some guests feel value could be better and that pacing or portion size could be adjusted in places.

Fantastic omakase tasting menu with a mix of Japanese sushi/sashimi & French influences. All the seafood was beautifully aged & super high quality. The seafood was melt in you mouth delicious. Wagyu was great, but the duck was even better. Good cocktails as well. The price reflects the quality, but good things in life are worth a little splurge.

This is a high-end modern French & Japanese fusion cuisine. The nigiri omakase at lunch was exquisite, the rice was perfect & each fish had a different flavor profile. The highlight for me was the soft shell crab dish, it was excellent, especially the little dabs of lemon/lime gel, blending everything perfectly with the sauce & tying the dish together harmoniously. The restaurant is led by chef-owner GaCong Ruan, who grew up in the restaurant industry, & executive chef Michael Ho, a finalist from'Les Chefs!'. We were lucky to be greeted by them both today! Perfect for special occasions, business dinners or just a quick lunch or late evening craving for high quality sushi... this is the hot spot to go to.

Foods are not that good, wouldn't say bad, but for the pricing I expect better quality. The staff & atmosphere were top notch though.

Exceptional experience from the reception, the food quality, presentation, waitering staff & the chefs. I went for dinner with my girlfriend & we both enjoyed it very much. Will be back soon. Atmosphere was very intimate & food very tasty. Highly recommended if you're looking for a palate party because you can taste all the ingredients.

For sure one of the best new gems of Montreal !! The quality & the thinking behind the food are incredible!! I went two times already, one for the omakase & one to order by myself & both not disappointed at all!! The sashimi plater is so fresh, the toro & uni roll is out of this world & don't let me start & the main plate omg!!
