The food is really good (although pricey) but the service was quite off, I don't know if it's because they were understaffed or too busy with a big 20 person table. It took forever to get the drink menu & orders, & they asked us about allergies & one of the dishes had something my partner mentioned he was allergic to (mayo = egg). We didn't mention it, & just pushed the mayo off because we didn't wanna bother the servers again. The short ribs came & it was almost all fat & no meat, they were nice enough to change it immediately for us. The vibe is definitely a little bro-ey, fin-tech. We were hoping for a quiet Japanese sushi vibe, but there was DJ playing cheesy lounge electronic music. I recommend Fleurs & Cadeaux instead.

Food was amazing, the service was impeccable. The chef owner is very friendly & made us feel like special guests. Great selection of sake pairing & rare Japanese whiskeys to round off the night.

Had a chance to try the omakase experience yesterday & it was marvelous. Chef Sunny really made us discover sushi like I've never tried before. The star of the show was Titouan though! He was so friendly! He recommended us two Sake & a Japanese whiskey that truly elevated the experience. Will definitely be coming back xoxo 😘

A truly excellent & enjoyable experience at Nama. We chose the premium omakase & were told it was 5 courses. The first course came with 3 different dishes & we thought that was 3 of 5 courses. Luckily, it was just the first course & by the time we had our dessert, we were stuffed. From the food to the atmosphere to the service, it was a 5 star experience (coming from someone who has had many omakase experiences & I've been to Japan- Japanese food is my favourite. I would classify this as fusion!)
My only criticism: I wish there was some uni as part of the set menu.

Amazing experience at Nama! We tried the omakase & every dish was fresh & delicious. Great service from Felix & Titouan who made good recommandations of drinks to pair with the food from their selection of sake & japanese whiskeys.

Great chef, great experience, great taste. A true Japanese sushi experience in MTL. The manager is also very good to make you feel unique & answer to your needs.

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.
