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.
We took the 100$ omakase menu for 2 people, & we were quite disappointed by it. The dishes were good (the eggplant was amazing), but the fish had nothing special & was pretty tasteless.
We were told that the difference between the 100$ & 135$ menu was the makis so we were fine not to have them. However the portions were pretty small & we were also quite surprised that for this price we had to share one & only one main dish. We ended up finishing the course hungry & ordering the makis on the side (36$ for 6 makis, I would advise you to not take them because they were not worth it).
On the other side the service was exceptional! We were well taken care of!!
Restaurant was pretty noisy, & you could have participated in the discussion of the table behind us.
Overall the food was good, but the quality & the quantities are absolutely not justifying the price.
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.

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'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.
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.
A bit disappointed here. We ordered the omakase for 8 pieces. Not to be pompous but we know what the omakase experience is supposed to be like. When our'omakase' came to us, we got 4 types of fish, 2 pieces each.....so not omakase aligned. We then got charged 8 dollars for water...we ordered tap water but they charged us for the bottle of still water. The nigiri tasted similar to suburban sushi, not Japanese really. Our final bill was $230 & was definitely not worth the money.
This place was WAY overpriced. We spent $600 CA for two omakase & two drinks & only 10 out of the 16 dishes actually contained fish of some kind. Truly you could drive to NYC & get a better omakase experience for half the price. Do not spend the time or money to go here - while the sushi chef was nice, my girlfriend & I were very disappointed in the total experience.

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 $170 menu & both of us were so full - they are generous in their portions. Also loved their desserts - absolutely decadent & luxurious. Where I think improvement could be would be the service. The prices & food are aligned to fine dining but the service was not. We'd ask for things & our server would always forget. She also lacked basic knowledge on the menu (ie. didn't know what kind of fish was in some of the nigiri's, didn't know what ingredients were used in some of the items, didn't know how some items were prepared). Also noted that our Foie gras was overcooked & the answer was'it's possible'. Aside from that, the ambience was really nice. The dishes here are super unique & well prepared so we'll definitely come back.
We had a beautiful night & the food was to our surprise very good. We were 4, & we each took the omakase 170$/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.
Food : 5/5
Each course is quite unique & flavourful. High quality fish, plating is visually appealing. We enjoyed every single bite !
Service : 5/5
Chef/owner is down to earth & super friendly, making you feel comfortable. He is a big foody & will not hesitate to give you restaurant recommendations if you are not from town. Waiter did a great job as well.
Overall :
Perfect spot to celebrate special occasions with the Omakase experience or with friends/family for the a la carte dining.
I had the pleasure of dining at Nama Omakase last night & it was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was intimate & refined, setting the stage for what turned out to be an extraordinary culinary journey.
Every course was thoughtfully prepared & beautifully presented. The fish was incredibly fresh-melt-in-your-mouth quality-& the balance of flavors in each bite showed true mastery. The chef's creativity really shined through with unique combinations I've never seen before, yet everything worked harmoniously.
The service was warm, attentive, & knowledgeable without being overbearing. You can tell there's passion behind everything they do here-from the pacing of the meal to the way each dish is introduced.
This was easily one of the best omakase experiences I've had in Montreal. If you're a sushi lover or simply looking to treat yourself to something special, Nama is a must. I'll definitely be back.

$135 PP Omakase menu (for two). Great service. Food was hit or miss for us. Lovely experience overall.
Overall impression: Impeccable service from our waiter. Beautiful dessert plating. Too many'pre-packaged'-tasting flavors & disjointed elements to recommend the cooked dishes as standalone. Sushi omakase could still be good.
5 course omakase breakdown:
First course: Beef tartare & red snapper- primary ingredients were both fresh. Tartare had a touch too much sesame oil & felt a bit greasy but still enjoyable. Red snapper was perfectly good. Pickled mushrooms etc. tastes exactly as what you'd get at any other spot. The Lychee(?) had an overwhelmingly synthetic taste. Couldn't help but feel that some elements come commercially prepackaged.
Second course: Eggplant katsu with salad, swordfish on daikon. Great textures in the eggplant with high quality ingredients. Swordfish was a little dry, but fine with the sauce.
Third course: Sushi course. Received red snapper again, & it turned out to be the freshest of the fish in the sushi row. We would have preferred a bit more vinegar in the rice with a little bit more wasabi. Maki was made beautifully, with great balance of flavors, & the fish on top was perfection. While the sushi was subpar, the maki was the highlight of our meal
Fourth course: Short rib & brussels sprouts. Good, familiar flavors. Brussels sprouts were greasy but otherwise cooked perfectly. Short rib a bit dry with a'spice package' tasting sauce.
Fifth course: sake-infused ice cream with rice pudding & orange crisps; gin(?) infused ice cream with cake & what tasted like waffle cone crumbles. Gorgeous plating, both hits & misses (orange crisp = perfect. cake = slightly stale, rice pudding = disjointed, ice creams = delightful)
Bottom line: Good experience. Would not go for the cooked dishes at this price point. Higher end sushi omakase might still be worthwhile if the maki is an indication of freshness & execution with that specific experience.
Great experience!! Delicious flavours! Just a heads up - a few of those courses are just nigiri - granted, the most creative & delicate nigiri that I have had in Montreal, but for those who enjoy bigger meals, I wouldn't come hungry😂. But honestly, some of my favorite courses of this omakase were the nigiris! I loved how they incorporated all the familiar flavours (eg. Ume, yuzu, gochugaru etc) into a new dish while not overpowering the fish itself. & their trou normand (salted cucumber granita) was out of this world. I am a super fan of sweet & salty so all the sweet dishes really spoke to me. & the service was great! Very attentive & well orchestrated while maintaining a super chill & warm vibe. Honestly, a great experience! Bravo, Nama!
Nama Omakase delivers an unforgettable dining experience from start to finish. Every dish was beautifully plated & thoughtfully crafted, showcasing top-tier ingredients & inspired flavor combinations.
We started with the Scallop Leche de Tigre-Japanese scallop with pomegranate, avocado, shiso, & lemon. Bright, fresh, & incredibly well balanced. The Ora King Tartare with ponzu, wasabi, & watermelon radish was equally stunning-delicate but full of personality.
The Soft Shell Crab was a standout-crispy & rich, served with kimchi, cucumber, salmon roe, & an indulgent spot prawn bisque. The flavors were bold but refined.
We finished with a 12-piece sashimi moriawase & 6-piece nigiri omakase-impeccably fresh fish, perfect rice, & elegant presentation. Every bite was close your eyes heaven.
Service was excellent-attentive, knowledgeable, we arrived really early (5:30pm because we had a show to get to on a Monday night, so despite look was sleek & intimate, making it perfect for a special night out, it wasn't busy. The staff mentionned that we were in fact early
Highly recommended for anyone looking for a next-level omakase in Montreal.
This is a high-end modern French & Japanese fusion cuisine. The nigiri omakase at lunch was exquisite, the rice was perfect & each fish had a different flavor profile. The highlight for me was the soft shell crab dish, it was excellent, especially the little dabs of lemon/lime gel, blending everything perfectly with the sauce & tying the dish together harmoniously. The restaurant is led by chef-owner GaCong Ruan, who grew up in the restaurant industry, & executive chef Michael Ho, a finalist from'Les Chefs!'. We were lucky to be greeted by them both today! Perfect for special occasions, business dinners or just a quick lunch or late evening craving for high quality sushi... this is the hot spot to go to.

This was an amazing omakase experience! The food was absolutely incredible, the fish was unbelievably fresh, perfectly seasoned, & each course was beautifully presented. Every bite felt carefully curated, with a perfect balance of flavors & textures. You can tell the chef takes great pride in their craft, & it truly shows.
Beyond the food, the service was just as exceptional. The staff was warm, attentive, & made sure we had a flawless experience from start to finish. The chef took the time to explain each course, adding a personal touch that made the meal feel even more special.The atmosphere was elegant yet inviting, creating the perfect setting for a memorable night.
If you're looking for an outstanding omakase experience with top-quality fish & impeccable service, this is the place to go. Already looking forward to my next visit!
I had dinner tonight with my family at Nama. We had an amazing experience. First of all, I would like to thank our server. He was phenomenal. We had our kids tonight, who are 5 & 7. Having kids in fancy places can be stressful, but the entire team there was so kind & attentive. Our server was patient & nice. He helped us with the menu & checked in on us. Not only did we have great service, but so did the kids. My son & daughter felt included in our experience. The bartender was great. I had the espresso martini. My drink was strong. My kids had a mocktail. I mentioned the kids' preference, & the bartender made the perfect fruity mocktail. They enjoyed it. The pictures shown are what we ordered tonight. My kids enjoyed the octopus. It wasn't chewy & the sauce that came with it was delicious. The salmon tartare is good but we were most impressed with the tapioca cracker that came with it. The sashimi is nicely cut & fresh. Their soy sauce is salty & doesn't overpower the fish. My favorite is the makis.I love the taste of the maki without too many ingredients or sauces on top. You can taste the protein in each one. We highly recommend the ramen dish. The broth was creamy with a ton of flavor & the noodles were cooked perfectly. The rack of lamb was cooked well & didn't taste gamey. We finished the night with the coconut cake & ice cream. The dessert had a sweet & sour flavor. The green tea cheesecake was also good. Thanks to the team for the experience. We had a wonderful time celebrating my partner's birthday. We will definitely be back for the Omakase experience & more.
the flavour pairings were amazing. the egg yolk gel & tuna pairing in the monaka wafer were such simple, classic flavours elevated into something beautiful & complex. the dry aged fish & the aged soy sauce used in some dishes are a beautiful twist. the rice is warm, sticky & full of flavour, i deeply enjoyed it. the botan ebi is rare & always a pleasure to have. they pair it with this in house chili crisp that has TONS of flavour. the wagyu & brioche dish was the least memorable. it was good, but it cant compete with the sushi courses. two extremely stand out dishes would be the sweet, salty, sour dish of tomato sorbet as a palette cleaner & also the dessert of ice cream made of sake kasu. service was rlly good. the whole place is very beautiful inside
Effervescent energy for my Omakase sushi experience by chef GaCong. Very intimate experience at the bar, amazing service with a smile from the host, waiter & chef. Superb selection of fish, great pacing & the Japanese & French fusion produce an elevated experience. My stand out dishes were the salmon tartare, akami with Osetra caviar, Suzuki, monads & the sake kasu dessert is a unique experience. It was distinguished experience meeting the team & the chefs, even got to meet executive chef Michael Ho!
