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.

J'ai adoré mon expérience à ce restaurant. Nous avions sélectionné l'Expérience & nous n'avons pas été déçus. Superbe accueil en arrivant. Nous étions au bar & cela nous permettait de discuter avec le chef qui était plus que sympathique. Il nous décrivait chaque plat de façon détaillée & s'est assuré plusieurs fois que nous étions satisfaits. J'ai probablement mangé les meilleurs nigiris durant cette soirée. Les agencements d'alcool avec les plats étaient recherchés. Ce n'était que du positif du début à la fin. :)

We attended for dinner last Friday night & absolutely loved our food. The dishes were nothing short of amazing - the most memorable were the eggplant katsu, the tartares & crudo, & the Brussels sprouts. We're not big veggie eaters but even in our opinion you must try those as those are the best brussel sprouts & eggplant we've ever eaten. Ordered the $170 menu & both of us were so full - they are generous in their portions. Also loved their desserts - absolutely decadent & luxurious. Where I think improvement could be would be the service. The prices & food are aligned to fine dining but the service was not. We'd ask for things & our server would always forget. She also lacked basic knowledge on the menu (ie. didn't know what kind of fish was in some of the nigiri's, didn't know what ingredients were used in some of the items, didn't know how some items were prepared). Also noted that our Foie gras was overcooked & the answer was'it's possible'. Aside from that, the ambience was really nice. The dishes here are super unique & well prepared so we'll definitely come back.

Notre expérience au Nama Omakase a été exceptionnelle, en grande partie grâce à Titouan. Son professionnalisme, son attention aux détails & ses recommandations avisées (notamment sur les cocktails) ont rendu notre soirée parfaite. Un service discret, chaleureux & d'une grande élégance.

Un grand merci à Titouan pour son accueil & son expertise - nous reviendrons sans hésiter !

Je suis sidérée. Une facture de plus de 400$ pour deux (menu Omakase à 170$ pp, sans vin) pour sortir de table en ayant faim.
Commençons par le positif. L'ambiance est cosy, c'est très propre & le service au demeurant est poli. Mais ça s'arrête là.
Ce qu'on reçoit pour 170$ par tête est incroyablement chiche. On parle de quelques micro-cubes de saumon, 4 nigiris chaque, quelques lamelles de sashimi (sans même de sauce soya à côté...) & le comble c'est d'avoir eu UN SEUL PETIT pavé de saumon à PARTAGER pour nous deux. C'est une blague ? Le Omakase est censé être généreux, pas de la restriction. L'attente de 15-20 min entre chaque service ridicule n'a fait qu'ajouter à l'insulte. Mais l'échec impardonnable, c'est l'anniversaire de mon mari. J'ai mentionnée 3 fois au téléphone, je l'ai redit en arrivant. On m'a dit oui bien sûr. Résultat : rien !!! Pas une bougie, pas de gâteau, pas un mot. Un manque de professionnalisme & de respect total. C'était le but de notre soirée, & ils l'ont complètement raté. Une déception immense.

We were 2 doing the omasake experience. Everything was so tasty & well balanced, & the chef ga kong was amazing at creating & presenting all these dishes. The entire staff was super nice. Would recommend for sure!

Incredible 16-course Omakase experience. Chef GaCong is very well-spoken to describe his idea & his inspiration behind each tasting piece. He has profound knowledge about his craft & you can feel his passion for Japanese cuisine. The Omakase is a fun, delightful & savoury journey through playful & creative combinations of flavour, aromas & textures. The servicing staff is also very nice & friendly. Also worth mentioning that the service is very accommodating for pescatarian alternatives, which was very much appreciated. I would totally recommend this Omakase experience. 10/10.

J'ai été déçu par ce restaurant, c'était très bon, les poissons frais & la coupe très bien exécuter, mais comparé à plein à d'autre experience & aux prix je m'attendais à mieux. Le riz a sushi, malgré qu'il soit très bon était presque le même dans tous les plats. L'accord vin était décevant. C'était de bon vins mais le mariage avec la nourriture n'était vraiment pas fantastique. C'était comme l'équivalent de recommander un bon vin blanc avec un bon poisson. Somme toute, j'ai très bien mangé, mais pour le prix, je suis resté sur ma faim!
