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.
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.
Incredible 16-course Omakase experience. Chef GaCong is very well-spoken to describe his idea & his inspiration behind each tasting piece. He has profound knowledge about his craft & you can feel his passion for Japanese cuisine. The Omakase is a fun, delightful & savoury journey through playful & creative combinations of flavour, aromas & textures. The servicing staff is also very nice & friendly. Also worth mentioning that the service is very accommodating for pescatarian alternatives, which was very much appreciated. I would totally recommend this Omakase experience. 10/10.

Had an incredible omakase experience here my first night in Montreal. The food was phenomenal, the flavors were interesting & varied with a strong French influence. The menu was well thought out & the drinks were delicious too. Only about half the menu was sushi, & all of the plates were conceived from the French/Japanese fusion, so this was not a traditional Japanese omakase which made for a unique tasting.
The service was wonderful, very friendly & efficient, & the atmosphere was calm & intimate. As a visitor to the city I could not have asked for a better evening.
We attended the 6pm seating on a Wednesday evening for Omakase dinner, & the experience was extraordinary! The Montreal-born Japanese trained Chef prepared 16 mouthwatering & sensational courses, each one expertly prepared & beautifully presented. The wine pairing consisted of two glasses of white wine, one of chilled saki, & one red wine which were served in perfect harmony with the flavors in each dish. To say that this experience was divine, could be an understatement.
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.
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! 😁

Such a high quality & unique food experience. We stayed in Montreal for a few days & this was our favorite meal! A very cool blend of French & Japanese cuisine. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a once in a lifetime food journey of the highest quality. Truly amazing!
🌟 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!) 💯🙌
The Omakase experience is exceptional.
The discussion of the preparation & quality of the dishes is remarkable.
Fine French service combined with precise fresh Japanese flavors make this a must experience.
The meal at Nama offered moments of promise, notably the well-cooked but overly sweet Miso Black Cod & attentive, knowledgeable service in an elegant setting. However, execution was inconsistent: the Octopus Leg was dry & flavorless, the Halibut Beurre Blanc was overcooked & poorly balanced, & the $60 Nigiri Omakase lacked standout quality to justify its price. The sake selection also underwhelmed, leaning unexpectedly sweet. Despite its upscale ambitions & strong presentation, Nama fell short of delivering value or consistency, especially compared to other high-end Japanese restaurants in Montreal.

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.
Fantastic omakase tasting menu with a mix of Japanese sushi/sashimi & French influences. All the seafood was beautifully aged & super high quality. The seafood was melt in you mouth delicious. Wagyu was great, but the duck was even better. Good cocktails as well. The price reflects the quality, but good things in life are worth a little splurge.
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.
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!

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!

Every dish was a culinary masterpiece, showcasing the chef's skill & passion. Highly recommended for a truly unforgettable dining experience.

This place is exceptionnal from the atmosphere, food & perfectly taylored service. As soon as you enter the restaurant, you can feel that the atmosphere is really cozy. For the food, the sashimi & nigiri (with fish outsourced from japan) are a must. There was no choice of fish that seemed out of place & they all work in harmony with the freshness that is just on par! For the entree, the brussel sprouts & eggplant katsu are unique & provide a complex but yet easy to appreciate taste. To add to the french gastronomy part, we had the duck & apricot & it was amazing. The meat was cooked to perfection & ressemble to the taste of a well prepared steak. For the service, our waiter was always with us to make sure that it all went well & gave great recommendations as well! This place is a must in the restaurant scenery of montreal for everything that is mentionned aboved & if you seek a new type of experience where a japanese omakase is paired with french gastronomy, this IS the place.
