Nama Omakase apparaît comme une expérience culinaire exceptionnelle selon la majorité des avis, alliant cuisine japonaise et française dans une fusion inventive avec des plats fraîchement préparés, présentés avec soin et des saveurs équilibrées qui surprennent et séduisent; le cadre intime et moderne, l'ambiance chaleureuse et le service attentif et professionnel sont aussi fréquemment salués, même lors de soirées chargées. Certains trouvent les portions et le rapport qualité prix élevés mais généreux, et signalent parfois des écarts de rythme ou de constance entre les plats, ainsi que des choix d accord mets vins ou une musique trop présente. Cependant l'omakase est le plus souvent décrit comme spectaculaire et mémorable, mettant en valeur des poissons de grande fraîcheur, des textures variées et des touches créatives sur des plats comme les sushis, les nigiris et les plats de légumes, avec des saveurs à la fois fines et audacieuses. Les desserts et les touches de service sont aussi fréquemment appréciés, tout comme l accueil et les explications du plat, qui ajoutent de l'ampleur au voyage gustatif. En somme, Nama Omakase est perçu comme une adresse d'exception pour des occasions spéciales ou des repas entre amis et en amoureux, invitant à revenir pour explorer d'autres options malgré quelques réserves sur le prix, la constance du service et certains choix de menu.
The new manager was a delight just like the food & experience. He was most certainly the MVP. He made sure my hubby's bday was unforgettable & went the extra mile with even the smallest details & gave us top notch recommendation for everything. The chef even came to greet us, it was such a lovely surprise. We picked the $135 omakase & honestly, the $100 would have been more than enough. Every dish was well thought of & the sushi was to die for. We can't wait to go back & try the special 12 course omakase experience at the bar.
We dined at Nama Omakase with high expectations, given its positioning as an upscale omakase restaurant. Unfortunately, the experience fell short in several important ways, especially at this price point.
During the meal, we encountered a bone in the Nama Maki ($55 before tax). In a restaurant of this caliber, proper fish preparation is non-negotiable. This is not a minor oversight but a fundamental error that raises concerns about quality control & attention to detail.
What was more disappointing was how this was handled. When we informed the waitress clearing our plates, she responded that she would let the chef know, but no one followed up with us afterward. There was no acknowledgment, apology, or attempt to address the issue during the meal. Later, when another server asked about our experience while we were paying, we raised it again & were simply thanked for the feedback, again, with no real ownership or resolution.
We had also noted in our reservation that we were celebrating my husband's birthday, but this was completely overlooked. We had to remind the staff ourselves near the end of the meal, which defeats the purpose of providing that information in advance. For a restaurant that emphasizes experience, this lack of attentiveness is disappointing. (I now noticed this has happened to many other diners who shared their disappointment in their review)
In terms of the food, while some dishes showed creativity, there were inconsistencies. For example, one piece of the duck was noticeably tough & difficult to chew, lacking the tenderness expected from a properly prepared dish, especially in a fine dining setting.
To add to this, we discovered that an 18% gratuity was automatically applied because part of the bill was paid using a gift card. This was not disclosed anywhere on the Costco purchase page, nor was it communicated by the restaurant beforehand. While we would have willingly tipped 20% for good service, imposing a gratuity without transparency, especially tied to the method of payment, is not acceptable.
We paid $525.25 for two adults (without drinks). At this level, guests expect not just excellent food, but polished service, consistency, & accountability when things go wrong. While the restaurant shows potential, the overall experience was undermined by these lapses.
For a premium omakase restaurant, both execution & service need to be held to a much higher standard.
P/S: The first dish of Hokkaido Scallops was exquisite IMHO.

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!
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! 😋✨
Une Expérience Omakase Exceptionnelle, Portée par un Service Inoubliable
Notre soirée chez Nama Omakase fut bien plus qu'un simple dîner ; ce fut un voyage sensoriel & humain d'une rare perfection. Si l'excellence culinaire était au rendez-vous, c'est le service, & en particulier notre hôte Titouan, qui a transcendé cette expérience pour la hisser au rang d'inoubliable.
Fraîcheur & Art
L'excellence commence dans l'assiette,& elle est incontestable. La fraîcheur des produits, principalement des poissons, est absolue. Chaque bouchée est une explosion de saveurs pures & délicates. La présentation est un régal pour les yeux : des assiettes magnifiquement décorées, où chaque élément est placé avec une intention esthétique, transformant le comptoir en une galerie d'art éphémère.
Élégante & Chill, l'atmosphère du restaurant est parfaitement dosée: une élégance sobre & contemporaine, où règne une ambiance à la fois chic & décontractée (« chill »). On se sent immédiatement à l'aise, prêt à se laisser guider.
La Pierre Angulaire de la Magie, ici,nous touchons au sublime. Si la nourriture était excellente, c'est le service, incarné par Titouan, qui a été excellent. Dès notre arrivée, son professionnalisme & sa grâce naturelle, trahissant certainement un solide background en hôtellerie-restauration de luxe, ont posé le ton.
Titouan n'a pas simplement servi, il a orchestré, narré & personnalisé chaque instant. Il a pris le temps, avec une passion communicative, de nous expliquer chaque merveilleuse bouchée dans le détail, de la provenance précise de chaque ingrédient aux techniques utilisées. Ces explications n'étaient pas de simples notices, mais de véritables récits qui ont encore élevé notre expérience Omakase à son apogée, donnant une profondeur & une signification à chaque plat.
Un immense merci à Titouan pour son service « 6 étoiles ». Comme je lui au dit : la nourriture était très bonne, mais le service était tout simplement excellent.
La Touche du Chef: La soirée a été sublimée par la venue duGrand Chef GaCong Ruan, venu nous saluer à notre table. Ce geste, bien plus qu'une courtoisie, était une promesse : celle de nous préparer des plats & une soirée inoubliable. Promesse tenue au-delà de toute attente. Le chef Gacong & Titouan possèdent réellement une vision culinaire cohérente & généreuse derrière ce bar à omakase, interagissant personnellement avec chaque client pour créer un lien unique.
Avec générosité & attention, il faut aussi mentionner les multiples assiettes « On the House » offertes avec générosité, témoignant d'une volonté sincère de partager & de ravir leurs convives.
Merci du fond du coeur auGrand Chef GaCong Ruan & à son hôte d'exception, Titouan, ainsi qu'à tout le staff discret & efficace. Vous offrez bien plus qu'un repas gastronomique ; vous créez des souvenirs précieux, où l'art culinaire rencontre l'hospitalité la plus raffinée. Une adresse absolument exceptionnelle que nous recommandons sans la moindre réserve.
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. :)

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 !
I celebrated my birthday at Nama Omakase, & from start to finish, it was an unforgettable experience.
The planning process was seamless, with prompt & helpful email communication that made organizing everything a breeze. Once we arrived, the service was impeccable. The staff was not only organized but also incredibly attentive, making sure every need was met with a warm smile.
The menu was generous, with each course more delightful than the last. It was clear that every dish was thoughtfully prepared & presented with care, showcasing the chef's talent & attention to detail. I felt truly pampered throughout the entire evening.
A huge thank you to the Nama Omakase team for making my birthday celebration so special & making a memorable dining experience. 🥰
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.
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! 😁

We had & amazing culinary experience last night at Nama!! Probably on of the best beef tartare I have tasted! The staff was attentive & explained the menu in detail. Everything was great from the appetizers to the melt in your mouth sushi & main courses. Highly recommend it!! We will definitely be back!!
I took my girlfriend on a date 2 nights ago & I must say... Get ready to emerge yourself in a dinning experience that goes beyond the food. From the service, atmosphere, vibe, music everything about Nama was exquisite. Impeccable service, & the food is mouth watering. From starters to the main, you can't go wrong with any options from their menu. Don't get me started with the desserts, the amount of attention the detail & combination of flavors crafted in each one of them is outstanding. My gf & I took a variety & let me tell you.. our 2nd stomach was beyond satisfied!
A must try! We will be definitely returning real soon!
🌟 What an unforgettable night for my 32nd birthday! 🎉🎂
My partner & I had the absolute pleasure of experiencing the 16-course omakase at Nama with the incredibly talented Chef GaCong Ruan - & let me tell you, this was nothing short of magical. 🍣🍷
I've had the privilege of dining at some of the finest restaurants around the world, & Nama has officially earned a spot in my Top 3 Japanese culinary experiences. I'm genuinely confident this gem 💎 is on its way to a Michelin star - they wholeheartedly deserve it. 🌟🇯🇵
From the mesmerizing music 🎶 to the elegant & intimate atmosphere ✨, every detail sets the stage for a deeply immersive dining journey. The sake & wine pairings were divine 🍶🍷, enhancing every dish with thoughtful balance. Each course was a showstopper - layered, surprising, savory, & absolutely unforgettable. I couldn't even pick a favorite because every single plate was a masterpiece 🔥
But what truly stood out? The passion ❤?, precision, & professionalism that Chef GaCong brings to every bite - all brought to life by the warm, attentive Nama team who made sure our celebration was topped with surprising & caring touches from start to finish. 🙏
The energy at Nama is inspiring, & the attention to detail is simply unmatched. If you're even thinking about it - don't hesitate. I recommend this experience 110% & cannot wait to go back again (& again!) 💯🙌
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.

We celebrated a friend's 40th birthday at Nama Omakase & had an extraordinary experience! Every dish was exquisite, showcasing impeccable freshness, vibrant flavors, & beautiful presentation. The chef's expertise was remarkable, offering a masterful balance of creativity & authenticity in each course. The staff was professional, attentive, & genuinely warm, enhancing our dining experience with thoughtful details & impeccable service. Highly recommend Nama Omakase for a truly memorable culinary journey. We left completely delighted!
We had an amazing experience at Nama's omakase for our anniversary. The Chef GaCong treated us to a very memorable 14-course meal, full of fresh ingredients, enticing flavour combinations, & beautiful presentation. Every course had a personal touch that really made the whole experience feel unique. The amount of food was just right, too. The atmosphere was rest & the restaurant has an amazing decor with very noticeable attention to details. We would highly recommend this experience & we can't wait to return to try their dining room menu!
Quelle soirée, remplie de saveurs, de textures, d'attentions aux détails, de cocktails sublimes en passant par la finesse du service de Kiyan & le talent du chef Maxime. Une grande recommandation de mon côté pour cet Omakase qui signifie "faire confiance". Cet établissement mérite grandement cet honneur qu'un client puisse leur faire pleinement confiance pour faire de votre occasion spéciale, une véritable réussite.
There's a very popular Omakase restaurant in Montreal & I always found it a shame that we didn't have more of those experiences. A friend of mine told me about Nama having an Omakase experience & I had to check it out. I'm glad to say that everything about it was fantastic. It's a little more "fusion" then pure Japanese cuisine, but all the meals were great. I highly suggest trying it out if you love trying course style dinner experiences. If you just want a regular dining experience, there's tables & a menu for that as well. A couple of small nitpicks compared to the other Omakase restaurant in MTL: they had us wait before being seated despite us arriving on time, they didn't offer to take our jackets (which can add a little touch of extra service) & they mentioned a cocktail menu, but we never saw/received it. That being said, I want to give a HUGE shoutout to the chef & his team as at the very last minute, I found out that my date was allergic to wheat flour (similar to having to avoid gluten, but she was ok with soya sauce for instance) & initially the waiter said she couldn't get the Omakase & could only eat 2-3 meals in the regular menu. The chef then personally came to our seats to discuss in detail about her allergies & luckily she could take the Omakase thanks to the cuisine substituting 3 dishes just for her. Thank you again Nama for the wonderful dinner & I'll be sure to come back again!
The best, & I literally mean THE BEST Omakase experience I've had. Chef GaCong made sure that me & my SF had a memorable anniversary. The twist on each dish really made it one of their own. The attention to detail & the flavor combinations are outstanding. Each dish made us crave for more. It felt like we had to be extra delicate with each piece because they looked like literal art. We want to thank the staff & chef for this beautiful & unique culinary experience. We will be back!
