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.
Titouan could not have been more professional, nicer, or more enjoyable as a server he was such an informed professional. We enjoyed our dinner immensely mostly because of.Titouan. I would highly recommend Nama Omakase & Titouan!
Une expérience culinaire exceptionnelle! Le Nama Omakase propose une cuisine raffinée & créative où chaque bouchée est un véritable voyage de saveurs, magnifiquement présenté & parfaitement équilibré.
Un immense merci à notre serveur Olivier, qui a rendu la soirée encore plus mémorable. Son service remarquable, ses explications claires & sa petite touche d'humour ont mis une superbe ambiance à notre repas. On sent sa passion & son souci du détail, ce qui a vraiment enrichi l'expérience.

We had a beautiful night & the food was to our surprise very good. We were 4, & we each took the omakase 170$/person, which was an excellent experience!! The fish was so fresh & it melted in your mouth. The quality of not only the fish, but the beef tartare was also impressive. Overall, very pleased. Moreover, the waiters were very kind, making us feel very comfortable & welcomed! The only thing I would point out was that the service could have been slightly faster, but that aside the night was great. Highly recommend for sushi/nigiri lovers.
It took 30m to get the attention to order. It's a Sunday night, restaurant wasn't crowded so not sure why! We noticed the waitress also the barmaid, hence, our cocktails wasn't great, it's weak, waterdown!
Sashimi wasn't great, small pieces, 20 pieces for $125
We took the 5 courses service for $135/person & each service came painful slow!
It took almost 4hrs to finish our meals.
Summary, slow service, medium to average food experience & high price!
Final tab came to $775 (with only 3 drinks) for the three of us!
It was my daughter birthday & we were disappointed with the experience!
The food is some of the best I've had in Montreal! I highly recommend the Omakase for the variety & creativity. Although mocktails aren't on the menu, the bar put together a great combination for us. They even let us try one, & when it wasn't to our taste, made us a new mocktail with adjustments. I like that kind of collaborative approach.
The speed of service could be improved, but we were compensated with upgraded food & free drinks, so we can see that they take it seriously.
Expérience avec chef au comptoir en couple: bon, produits frais, chef symapthique mais vraiment trop cher pour ce que cela est.
Service pas assez discret, ce qui contraste avec les cuisiniers qui eux le sont
My experience at Nama was spectacular. The food was both creative & delicious. At first I wasn't sure what japanese & french inspired omakase would be but by the end my eyes were opened. Chef GaCong was a joy to be around all night & explained his menu with such an obvious passion & love for his craft.

Wonderful culinary experience in a beautiful setting & staffed by warm conscientious people. The tataki appetizer was delicious (flavor bomb) & the maki sushi roll was amazingly fresh & balanced. I had the shrimp dish & my husband had the short rib. Both were incredible...a true fusion of Japanese & French cuisine. All were paired with very smooth cold saki. The dessert was also unique & delicious. Loved the yuzi ice cream. One thing we will request when we return is more seasoning, as that's our preference. Highly recommended.
Would absolutely recommend! We went for a special birthday & had the most amazing experience. We had the pleasure of being served by Tituan & if you can get him as a server, I can guarantee you the best quality in service & suggestions. We tried the Omakase option which allowed us to try an incredible variety of quality products turned into a well crafted meal. Tituan was able to guide us through every step & explain the origins & inspirations behind the recipes & products allowing us to really get a grasp of the amount of thought & expertise behind this restaurant's menu.
This was my fourth time at Nama Omakase, & Chef Gacong never disappoints. He always pays great attention to detail, making sure every guest feels welcome & leaves completely satisfied. My most recent visit was for a farewell dinner. We chose the 5-course menu at $135. Some of my friends & family were worried they might still be hungry afterward, but by the end, they were absolutely full & they really loved the entire experience, from the rich flavors to the beautiful presentation. The Japanese-French fusion is truly the highlight, blending elegance with creativity. The cocktails are fresh & tasty, perfectly complementing the dishes.
The ambiance is modern & beautiful, & the service is excellent. The staff took the time to explain each dish, which made the experience even more special. Every bite was a true delicacy. Highly recommended! 😁
