Nama is a modern take on Japanese fine dining. Our team is devoted to bring you a culinary experience unlike others while respecting the tradition of Edomae Sushi and Japanese cuisine. Our chefs combine their vast experience with quality and seasonality products to create a memorable dining experience.

Our goal is to set the new standard in Japanese fine dining and share this experience with the world.
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.
Must try if you are looking for an outstanding Omakase experience. The chef takes their time to explain where each ingredient is sourced from, the waiters are experienced & the atmosphere is elegant. The wagyu taste is a must try if you enjoy an explosion of flavor & texture!
Excellent mais aussi très cher: 430$ pour deux (sans le menu dégustation & sans bouteille vin). C'est plus que dispendieux. Les cocktails étaient savoureux & les vins proposés délicieux. Vous vous régalerez c'est certain car les ingrédients sont frais & de qualité. On habite à deux pas & nous aurions été des clients réguliers mais à ce prix, nous n'y retournerons pas. Le service est excellent mais ne justifie pas que le terminal de paiement débute à 18% pour le pourboire. Est-ce la norme maintenant?

On hésitait entre le menu à la carte & le omakase. On y est allé avec le omakase & on ne regrette pas. Le service était impeccable du début à la fin. Confortablement assises au comptoir nous avons vu défiler les 14 services un à un. Chacun des plats était différent & venait faire voyager nos papilles gustatives. Les nigiris étaient fraîchement préparés par le Chef GaCong. Ce fut une très belle expérience!! Ça sera à répéter!
I went twice. Both for the dining menu (not omakase). Second time last week was better than the first. Food is VERY expensive. At that price point, the experience needs improvement. I found the nigiri underwhelming as cuts are too small. Appetizers are good as are the maki. Service felt robotic. Ambiance is a bit cold.
If you're seeking an exceptional dining experience in Montreal, Nama Omakase is a must-visit. This hidden gem offers a refined yet intimate atmosphere, perfect for an evening of culinary exploration. The chef's meticulous attention to detail is evident in each beautifully presented dish, showcasing the freshest, high-quality ingredients. The omakase menu is a masterful blend of traditional & innovative flavors, delivering a truly memorable dining experience. Attentive & knowledgeable service complements the exquisite food, making Nama Omakase a standout choice for anyone looking to indulge in top-tier Japanese cuisine. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to experience fine dining at its best.
This place is exceptionnal from the atmosphere, food & perfectly taylored service. As soon as you enter the restaurant, you can feel that the atmosphere is really cozy. For the food, the sashimi & nigiri (with fish outsourced from japan) are a must. There was no choice of fish that seemed out of place & they all work in harmony with the freshness that is just on par! For the entree, the brussel sprouts & eggplant katsu are unique & provide a complex but yet easy to appreciate taste. To add to the french gastronomy part, we had the duck & apricot & it was amazing. The meat was cooked to perfection & ressemble to the taste of a well prepared steak. For the service, our waiter was always with us to make sure that it all went well & gave great recommendations as well! This place is a must in the restaurant scenery of montreal for everything that is mentionned aboved & if you seek a new type of experience where a japanese omakase is paired with french gastronomy, this IS the place.

Belle expérience omakase. La qualité de nourriture, le service, l'ambiance, le mélange des saveurs étaient à la perfection. La fraîcheur des poissons & grains de riz m'ont ramené au Japon. Un restaurant à découvrir & aussi pour célèbrer de belles occasions.
Every dish were GORGEOUSLY presented & the sauces for each dish were equally as DELICIOUS! The waiters were very amicable & made the whole dining experience a very pleasant one! Would definitely return & highly recommend to visit!!
The omakase dishes were beautifully designed & delicious, & the atmosphere & attention to details provided by the chefs & staff created such an elevated experience.
Wow, what an unforgettable culinary experience! I had the pleasure of dining at Nama Omakase last night, & it truly exceeded my expectations. The moment I walked in, I was struck by the elegant ambiance & impeccable service. We had the pleasure to be sat at the bar & be served by the Chef Ga Cong for the tasting menu. But the real magic happened when the food arrived. Each dish was a masterful fusion of Japanese & French flavors, with bold & unexpected combinations that somehow worked perfectly together. The aged fishes were out of this world. Chef Ga Cong's attention to detail & presentation was stunning, with each plate looking like a work of art. Overall, Nama Omakase is a must-visit for any food lover looking to try something new & exciting. This isn't your traditional Japanese Omakase. The chefs creativity & skill are truly remarkable, & the service is top-notch.

Place is really well dimmed where it's mysterious but still lit up so you can see what you are eating, very nice vibes. Presentation of the meals were immaculate. Staff very friendly & attentive. Chef explained clearly their dishes & very interesting menu.
Loved the dining experience we had at Nama! Every dish we had was very well balanced & beautifully presented, making the eyes eat as well! The attention to detail is unmatched, & the service was impeccable. I would definitely come back again to try their seasonal dishes!
I've had the pleasure to try Nama Omakase's menu & it did not disappoint. Chefs Gacong & Michael puts a French modern twist on omakase & the experience was nothing short of spectacular. Cannot wait to try their dining menu soon.

JUSTE WOUAH ! L'ambiance, le décor mais surtout la nourriture & le service. Si c'était possible de donner plus que 5 étoiles, ce restaurant mériterait 100/10 à essayer absolument absolument absolument !!!!!!
Definitely a must try. They have an amazing staff. Quick service & delicious. You can make a reservation for the Omakase experience & try new things curated by Chef Gacong. Enough of all you can eat sushi. Go try Nama. I had a great time there.

Every dish we were served was unique & delicious. The staff were welcoming & accommodating. We had an overall 5 star experience & will be coming back again.
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.
