Diners describe Nama Omakase as a standout fusion of Japanese and French influences, with exceptionally fresh fish, inventive yet harmonious flavor pairings, and an intimate, elegantly modern atmosphere. The omakase experiences are widely praised for thoughtful curation and beautiful presentation, though several reviews note that portions can feel small for the price and a few courses or moments can vary. Service is repeatedly highlighted as attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly, with many accounts of staff guiding the meal and sharing details about ingredients and techniques, while a minority report slower pacing or inconsistent timing. The overall experience is seen as high end and ideal for special occasions, with many mentioning memorable touches, personalized attention, and standout desserts, cocktails or sake pairings. Ambiance and decor are often described as chic yet cozy, complementing the culinary journey, even as some listeners feel the music volume or the high price point keep it from being universally accessible.
Lovely ambience & service - food was hit or miss. Eggplant katsu & the mushroom noodles dish was fantastic, would skip the beef short ribs next time as the meat was extremely fatty & not altogether too flavorful. Signature cocktails, service, & overall vibe were excellent.
We had the privilege of celebrating our intimate wedding at Nama Omakase with 23 of our closest family members, & it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we walked in, everything flowed perfectly-the food, the vibe, the service, the drinks-it was all exceptional. Chef GaCong & the team really made the day special, adapting quickly & gracefully to some last-minute changes, which we deeply appreciated. The attention to detail was evident in every dish, & the atmosphere was exactly what we needed to close out such a special day. We will cherish these memories forever, & we can't thank Nama Omakase enough for being such a big part of it.
the flavour pairings were amazing. the egg yolk gel & tuna pairing in the monaka wafer were such simple, classic flavours elevated into something beautiful & complex. the dry aged fish & the aged soy sauce used in some dishes are a beautiful twist. the rice is warm, sticky & full of flavour, i deeply enjoyed it. the botan ebi is rare & always a pleasure to have. they pair it with this in house chili crisp that has TONS of flavour. the wagyu & brioche dish was the least memorable. it was good, but it cant compete with the sushi courses. two extremely stand out dishes would be the sweet, salty, sour dish of tomato sorbet as a palette cleaner & also the dessert of ice cream made of sake kasu. service was rlly good. the whole place is very beautiful inside
Effervescent energy for my Omakase sushi experience by chef GaCong. Very intimate experience at the bar, amazing service with a smile from the host, waiter & chef. Superb selection of fish, great pacing & the Japanese & French fusion produce an elevated experience. My stand out dishes were the salmon tartare, akami with Osetra caviar, Suzuki, monads & the sake kasu dessert is a unique experience. It was distinguished experience meeting the team & the chefs, even got to meet executive chef Michael Ho!

Expérience incroyable au Nama Omakase. Un plus pour le service assuré par Kylian qui était irréprochable. Ses conseils, sa sympathie & son professionnalisme nous ont assuré un moment inoubliable.
Merci pour l'expérience culinaire exceptionnelle ! Killian a effectué un superbe service, enfin un service de qualité on REDEMANDE. J'espère qu'on aura encore la chance de te revoir à Montréal ma femme a adoré ta prestation
Montréal really needed to up its omakase game & Nama overdelivers. We had the fixed omakase menu on a quiet night & the chef & staff truly made it one-of-a-kind. The plates were incredible & I'm definitely looking forward to going back.
Je suis allée dans ce restaurant récemment & c'était excellent ! Les plats sont de première qualité, parfaits pour combler même les amateurs les plus exigeants. Le service de Killian était impeccable, avec une attention aux détails qui a vraiment fait la différence. L'ambiance tamisée du lieu ajoute une touche chaleureuse & agréable. Une expérience à recommander sans hésiter !

This place is exceptional, I was impressed by the warm welcome from the entrance while glazing the sushi bar 👌🏽. After settling , i had unlimited shushi & great varieties of culinary infusions. Music was great , Ambience was in the mood , giving House vibe with mushi sushi paired with french white wine. Same music played everywhere even in the Restroom 😍
