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 sophistiquée et intime que de nombreux clients considèrent comme un incontournable de la scène culinaire montréalaise. La plupart des convives louent la grande qualité du poisson frais, l'originalité des plats fusion franco-japonais et la présentation méticuleuse, avec une mention spéciale pour le katsu d'aubergine et les tartares. Si une majorité de visiteurs salue la chaleur et le professionnalisme du service ainsi que l'interaction privilégiée avec les chefs au comptoir, certains clients ont relevé des incohérences concernant la taille des portions, le rythme du service ou des oublis lors des moments d'affluence. L'ambiance est généralement perçue comme élégante et idéale pour des occasions spéciales, bien que les avis sur le volume de la musique et le rapport qualité-prix varient. Malgré quelques critiques isolées, de nombreux clients considèrent l'établissement comme une destination mémorable, fortement recommandée pour sa passion et son savoir-faire.
The 16 course meal was a culinary experience of the palate! Nama has 3 parts which make it exceptional… first is the chef/owner Gacong who is knowledgeable, personable, kind & absolutely witty. He is the main player in this well rounded evening. Second is the atmosphere, it's aesthetically beautiful while remaining inviting, it's fresh & upbeat while still feeling intimate. & lastly, the pièce de resistance… the food! From the well curated ingredients & the chefs ingenious pairings, each bite was a moment in time that you can't get back. It always left you wanting more! As he served up his creations one after the other, you were left wondering how each bite was better than the last. We did try two main dishes as well, the crab & eggplant katsu which were cooked to perfection & aesthetically pleasing to the eye. & let's not forget the cocktails, we tried 5 different ones, each were devine in their own right & had a unique & sultry taste. Overall, the evening was perfect in every sense of the word. If you haven't tried Nama, not sure what you're waiting for. It is well worth every penny!! Kudos to the chef 10/10

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.
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.
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.
