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.

This was my first Omakase experience & I have to say everything was WOW!
We went as a group of 5, the others had Omakase experience & they we're impressed by the quality & tastefulness of the menu.

Chef GaCong Ruan is really nice to talk with & it shows that he loves what he does. There is passion written all over everything they serve you, he & is team are awesome.

Our group also took a Soft Shell crab plate after our Omakase experience since we saw the plate go by during our dinner & had to try it, it was also amazing.

Thanks for the amazing experience 🔥

L'apogée du culinaire. Une expérience unique avec des goûts nous faisant voyager aux quatre coins du monde. Les portions sont plutôt petites mais l'explosion de saveurs est au rendez vous.Notre serveur Titouan a été d'une qualité sensationnelle avec des explications détaillés à chaque assiette & une bonne humeur très appréciée. Ryad a l'accueil était super. Un grand merci aux artistes en cuisine. Nous reviendrons pour essayer l'expérience Omakase.

Super découverte, la nourriture excellente. Je conseille le tartare de saumon de Nouvelle-Zélande. J'ai pu faire la rencontre de Titouan un excellent serveur, passionné par sa job. Un excellent accueil de la part de Riyad.

Went here for the lunch set menu. $40 for three courses was a good deal. The beef tartare was amazing my favourite was the eggplant katsu as I have never tried eggplant cooked this way. It was quiet around lunch time & service was very attentive. Decor was modern & pleasing to the eyes.

The 16 course meal was a culinary experience of the palate! Nama has 3 parts which make it exceptional… first is the chef/owner Gacong who is knowledgeable, personable, kind & absolutely witty. He is the main player in this well rounded evening. Second is the atmosphere, it's aesthetically beautiful while remaining inviting, it's fresh & upbeat while still feeling intimate. & lastly, the pièce de resistance… the food! From the well curated ingredients & the chefs ingenious pairings, each bite was a moment in time that you can't get back. It always left you wanting more! As he served up his creations one after the other, you were left wondering how each bite was better than the last. We did try two main dishes as well, the crab & eggplant katsu which were cooked to perfection & aesthetically pleasing to the eye. & let's not forget the cocktails, we tried 5 different ones, each were devine in their own right & had a unique & sultry taste. Overall, the evening was perfect in every sense of the word. If you haven't tried Nama, not sure what you're waiting for. It is well worth every penny!! Kudos to the chef 10/10
