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.
The late-night menu was not worth the price. The food was good but the portions were small. Additionally, two members of our party got the same piece in the nigiri set which is unusual. The nigiri set had 5 pieces & 3 of them were the same for two members of our party. A bit disappointing. The service started out strong but slowly got worse. We waited after our bill for a while.
My husband & I had a wonderful omakase & wine pairing meal. It was his birthday & we were made to feel extra special. The chef was informative, funny, professional, down to earth, & passionate about his foot. We sat right at the bar & had a wonderful time. The food, vibes, serving staff, & chef were excellent. We do recommend this restaurant for omakase in Montreal!
Nama Omakase exceeded all expectations! We were a last-minute group of 15 people, & they went above & beyond to accommodate us seamlessly. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable-attentive, professional, & incredibly welcoming.
The food was absolutely delicious, with every course showcasing fresh, high-quality ingredients & masterful preparation. Each bite was a perfect balance of flavors, making it a truly unforgettable dining experience.
Beyond the food, the vibe was fantastic-elegant yet relaxed, with a great ambiance that made the evening even more enjoyable.
Highly recommend Nama Omakase for anyone looking for an exceptional experience, whether for an intimate dinner or a large group gathering. Will definitely be coming back!
Je dirais : spectaculaire. L'accueil est très soigné & personnalisé, il me semble que nous avons été servis par un jeune homme originaire de Marseille, extrêmement agréable. Je suis venue en tête-à-tête avec une de mes meilleures amies, nous nous sommes régalées du début à la fin & avons passé un excellent moment. D'habitude je n'aime pas tellement les huîtres, la façon dont elles étaient servies & cuisinées m'a donné envie d'en manger plus souvent. Tout était extrêmement bien travaillé, des saveurs différentes & des mélanges/alliances que l'on a pas l'habitude de déguster (je suis pourtant très -trop?- épicurienne). Nous sommes venues en fin d'été dernier mais mon amie y est retournée récemment & m'a dit que c'était toujours aussi bon, & honnêtement pour ce que l'on déguste : les tarifs sont corrects. Pour ma part il faudra que j'attende un peu car j'habite maintenant à 8000km de Montréal :) merci & sans doute à une autre fois !
I brought my whole team for supper & it was simply amazing. Beautiful ambiance & vibe, food was really really exceptional. We were a group of 18 & they took great care of us. Will definitely go back
Ne vaut pas les 400$ pour 2 que ça à coûté. Service sans attention, les prix sont trop haut pour la quantité. On s'attends à de petites attentions à ce prix.. rien. Très froid & lent comme endroit. Il y a mieux, vraiment.
Absolutely incredible experience. I'm not easily impressed with sushi restaurants, however this completely exceeded my expectations. Food was delicious & intricate. Chef & owner served us omakase & was so knowledgeable & friendly. Highly recommended place.
If you've ever wondered what it's like to ascend to sushi nirvana, look no further than Chef GaCong's omakase experience in Montreal. I went in expecting a fancy dinner, but I walked out questioning everything I thought I knew about food, art, & frankly, life itself. From the first dish, it became clear that this wasn't just dinner-it was performance art. GaCong doesn't just prepare sushi; he crafts edible masterpieces with the precision of a neurosurgeon & the flair of a Broadway director. The presentation was so immaculate that I hesitated to eat it, half out of respect & half because I didn't want to ruin the Picasso before me. Every bite was an existential crisis. The kind of flavors that make you reevaluate your childhood memories of eating supermarket sushi. & then there's GaCong himself. A man of infinite skill, he runs the sushi bar like a virtuoso conductor leading a symphony of flavors. GaCong is also a great host with plenty of wonderful tips about Montreal & hockey! This guy isn't just a chef; he's a culinary prophet. Sure, it comes with a hefty price tag, but let's be real-can you really put a price on a spiritual awakening? My only regret is that I'll never experience this meal for the first time again. Chef GaCong, please remember me when you're world-famous.
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.
L'expérience omakase est à tester un fois dans sa vie si l'on est fan de gastronomie. Très beau mélange des cultures & des techniques qui donnent des plats succulents. Le service était incroyable & je recommande à toute personne cherchant un expérience inusité d'essayer au moins une fois. Le seul bémol serait que la musique est un peu trop bruyante mais sinon chapeau!
J'ai été pour mon anniversaire de mariage & quelle belle découverte! Des plats qui sont dignes d'un restaurant 5 étoiles avec des hôtes très attentifs. Je recommande.
Une surprise de l'homme! On ne se fait pas vraiment de cadeau, mais il me paye un très bon souper. Ce fu absolument délicieux!! Nous avions le chef à nous seul, habituellement cette place est pleine, on a donc eu la chance de discuter amplement avec lui & avions reçu de belles attentions. Plusieurs belles découvertes & certaines qui nous ont surpris au plus au point. La qualité des ingrédients est hors pairs!! Nous y avons vu tout le care qui va dans la préparation, l'amour des ingrédients, l'attention des chefs. Wow!
