Une expérience culinaire mémorable grâce au menu dégustation, qui nous a permis de découvrir des plats raffinés, créatifs & parfaitement équilibrés. Chaque service était soigné & bien présenté, avec des saveurs surprenantes & harmonieuses.
Le service était attentionné sans être envahissant, & l'ambiance chaleureuse & décontractée rend l'expérience encore plus agréable. Une très belle découverte que je recommande sans hésitation. Nous y retournerons assurément !
I can't even begin to state how delicious the meals at Nama were. So thoughtfully curated, so well presented & incredibly tasty!
We decided on the 135$ set course meal & we received 10 items in total, & I couldn't tell you what our favorite dish was as everything was delicious! The set menu came with generous portions of a carpaccio, a scallop/endive dish, a squash/stracciatella dish, a fried eggplant katsu, a roasted brusselsprout dish, 4 types of nigiri, 2 types of makis, a duck/foie gras main & 2 desserts. If you ever go, everything we had was so delicious so you truly cannot go wrong with anything you select, but I HIGHLY recommend trying the eggplant (one of the best eggplants dishes I've ever had) & the sake dessert!!!
Now, for those of us who enjoy ambiance & finish selections at restaurants, what a truly gorgeous experience it was to eat at Nama. From the beginning of the night, you are greeted with such class & such service that just further built the ambiance to a luxurious level for us. Our waiter was intentional, detail oriented & though we went on Valentine's Day weekend & they were very busy, we never felt forgotten. The space is so beautifully designed which only enhanced our experience.
Overall, you can tell that a lot of love goes into every aspect of this restaurant - from the food, to the experience they deliver to their guests, & the way it was designed & thought out. It wasn't transactional & we were so well taken care of. If you're ever looking to splurge on dinner, this is the place to do it.
What an amazing experience! From the greeting at the door to the last course. Every little detail was well thought out. We opted for the omakase & every course was well curated. We came expecting the fish to be the stand out. But to our surprise, the vegetable dishes blew our minds! You have to try the eggplant katsu & the stracciatella squash! We can't wait to come back with our friends & try the rest of the menu!

We had the 100$/pp omakase experience. The quality of the food was top-notch, the portions are okay, we were expecting 2 portions of the'main course' dish but only received 1 for 2 people. Other than that it was excellent.
Not qualified to comment on the finer points of sushi but the presentation & quality seemed excellent. Dropped a point because it was both not enough & too much. Perhaps that's just me. The service was friendly, engaging, efficient, superb team work & literally the perfect compliment to the menu. Atmosphere? well the space is perfect, dropped a point for a very strange turn in the background music which provided a too loud soundtrack to the latter part of the experience. But perhaps I'm the wrong demographic which was almost 100% latter day yuppies, not that the staff treated this middle boomer any differently.
I had one of the best dining experiences at Nama! Gacong & his team are incredibly talented & creative with their dishes. I've experienced Gacong's omakase before, & it somehow gets better every single time. The attention to detail is unmatched, & each bite truly feels like an experience in itself. I couldn't stop saying'mmm' after every course. I already can't wait to go back! 😋✨
We've been here a few times, most recently to try their omakase. We loved it! Fish tasted super fresh, their rice is really good. Will definitely go back again.

Cuisine fusion japonaise-française délicieuse, plats montés avec grand art. Les menus découverte sont très (trop) copieux. Le décor post-industriel de la salle à manger est très beau. Juste la musique électronique un peu trop forte.
La cuisine y est véritablement inventive; chaque plat a été une délicieuse surprise, offrant un plaisir tant visuel que gustatif.J'ai particulièrement apprécié l'omakase du chef GaCong Ruan, qui est un véritable artiste. De plus, vous proposez une très belle sélection de whiskys & de sakés.
Wonderful omakase experience. Fusion omakase with complex flavors & variety of fish, wagyu, duck…chef takes great pride in his dishes. Very tasty rice!
Excellent attentive service & great cocktails! We will be back for sure.
