Nama Omakase se concentre sur la précision des arts culinaires japonais à travers une séquence rigoureuse de préparations de sushis saisonniers. La cuisine souligne la qualité brute des ingrédients marins en utilisant des techniques de découpe traditionnelles qui mettent en valeur les textures naturelles. Chaque présentation suit un déroulement délibéré, équilibrant le riz vinaigré avec les produits de la mer frais pour assurer une cohérence des profils gustatifs. Des compositions créatives intègrent des assaisonnements subtils respectant l'intégrité initiale du poisson sans masque excessif. L'environnement privilégie un comptoir de préparation ouvert permettant une observation directe des compétences techniques nécessaires à l'assemblage authentique des nigiris. Cet établissement donne la priorité à la relation entre les portions préparées et la matière première issue de sources côtières mondiales. Il en résulte une approche méthodique de la consommation de produits marins.
Nama Omakase propose une expérience gastronomique raffinée qui attire régulièrement des éloges pour la qualité supérieure de ses ingrédients, sa cuisine fusion franco-japonaise créative et son atmosphère sophistiquée. De nombreux convives soulignent le professionnalisme et la chaleur du personnel, notant particulièrement la manière dont les chefs interagissent avec les clients en expliquant la préparation et les origines de chaque plat. Le menu omakase est fréquemment décrit comme un voyage réfléchi de textures et de saveurs, avec des plats marquants comme le katsu d'aubergine, le tartare de bœuf et diverses sélections de nigiris frais souvent cités comme mémorables. Bien que la majorité des visiteurs soient ravis par le service attentionné et l'art culinaire unique, certains commentaires mentionnent des incohérences occasionnelles concernant la taille des portions, le prix et le volume de la musique d'ambiance. Dans l'ensemble, cet établissement est largement considéré comme une excellente destination pour les occasions spéciales et les célébrations intimes à Montréal, grâce à son engagement envers un service détaillé et un environnement accueillant et haut de gamme.
The service was great but the food was rather underwhelming for the price they ask (170$ per person omakase). The miso black cod (their plat de resistance) presentation was bland as the fish was sitting on a puree, glazed in a thick sauce. Rather unappealing. The wagyu beef was minced wagyu sitting on two bread blocks. Taste was very poor & presentation was lazy. The dessert was similar to two dry ladyfingers. Taste was crumby, unsophisticated, atrocious. Might as well have got that dessert from a dollar store & try to decorate the plate but it doesn't change the underlying taste. I will never go again, especially after what they charged. They did not even ask how we enjoyed the meal at the end as they probably knew themselves taste was not great
Had a really good experience at Nama Omakase + Sushi Restaurant. The sushi tasted fresh, well balanced, & you can tell a lot of attention goes into the presentation & quality of ingredients. Unlike many trendy spots, the sauces & toppings didn't overpower the fish, which made the omakase experience feel much more authentic. Service was attentive, the atmosphere was intimate & modern, & the pacing of the courses felt just right. Definitely on the pricier side, but worth trying if you enjoy higher-end sushi experiences in Montreal.
Delicious & affordable omakase - 12 services at a good pace, composed of two appetizers, 8 nigiris & one meal & one dessert. The quality of the fish was excellent, the ratio rice/fish perfect, & the temperature of the rice brought it all together. I'm usually not a fan of foie gras but the small amount that accompanied the duck in the main meal was just perfect, almost like a condiment. dessert tasted very good but I would skip the rice in it as it brought a weird texture (& I usually like rice pudding). Overall great experience & I definitely recommend. Chef is friendly & service is good!

Can't recommend this place enough! Amazing service, great drinks & the fish was very fresh. Our favourite was the shiromi carpaccio & shift shell crab.
From the second you sit at the counter, everything feels intentional: the calm atmosphere, the attention to detail, & the way each course is introduced makes you slow down & actually enjoy every bite. It's not rushed at all, which I loved.
The sushi itself is on another level. Each piece is crafted right in front of you, & you can really taste the quality of the fish.
✨ A refined, intimate experience that focuses on quality, precision, & letting the ingredients speak for themselves.
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.
