Sushi Nami is a Japanese fusion sushi restauarant serving top quality sushi and other Japanese dishes.
We popped in for lunch about 11:45 and were the first ones in the restaurant. We ordered a California roll, Rainbow roll, Chirashi Don, and Gomae for the two of us. The food took quite some time to come and they delivered the two rolls for my son first and by the time he was completely finished eating, they brought my Chirashi Don. The 2 waitresses working were pathetic. One of them dished out the most minuscule portion of Gomae (we're talking 1 unheaped teaspoon) and they tried to tell us it was because they had changed the portion sizes. I forgot to ask them if they had cut the price in third as well. Since my son had been there twice before and had Gomae both times and gotten a normal portion, her lie was even more ridiculous. Later on she thought better of trying to slide one over and brought us another portion of Gomae. Later on both waitresses were standing around staring into thin air while we waited for them to notice our tea pot was empty (I had taken the lid off... traditional Asian cue for a refill). My son finally had to wake one of them up to refill our tea. The saving grace for this place is that the food is very good. The rolls were both tasty and my Chirashi Don was nicely presented, the fish was good quality and it was very good value for $12.95. Still, I tipped barely 10% and I'm getting sick of tipping even that much when we would have had a more enjoyable meal if it were self-service. I did give the sushi chef the thumbs up on the way out for the food though, thinking he deserved the tip more than ther servers did.
We stopped by here for dinner the other night. It's a new Restaurant, with banners and such outside saying Awards or something like that. So we figured why not?....
What a treat! The Decor inside was very nice and new. One thing though was sitting in the back, there was a bit of echo. They almost need something to soften up the interior. But, that's small details. We were greeted with a smile from everyone who worked there. Seated very quickly and served tea and drinks very quickly.
Ok, I'm the first to admit, I don't know anything about Sushi. But, this place was very good compared to everywhere else I've eat. The food was a fusion as they say. It wasn't the regular rolls and such, though they were availible. We started with Salmon Sashimi. It was great! Large Portions and very good. Sweet almost and didn't need any wassabi with it. We had a modified California Roll, suggested by our server. I forget the name of it, which is a shame, but, it had grilled Scallop bits on it. VERY GOOD. We also had this modified Dynamite Roll, which had this strange flaky crust, holy... was it every good. Lastly we had another roll with sliced salmon sashimi on top with salmon on the inside too. We had a egg plant yaki, which was egg plant, with chicken and scallops. I'm not an eggplant eater, don't care of seafood, but, I would've eaten that entire dish myself. My only complaint was the Spicey Chicken Kiragi, it was like Sweet and Sour Chicken Balls.
Caution to start, the rolls are very big. They come in a pretty hugh dish. We didn't finish them all, it was just too much. But, it's good, because, it's a really decent price for the kind food you get.
I would love to come back to this place. I think it's a great place to eat. I would recommend it to other people, but, I get the feeling that everyone else that eats there will probably do the same. I just hope it doesn't get so packed that I can't get a table anymore!
And it's not just the rice, which by the way, is properly seasoned and served at the right temperature. Everything I have tried from the sashimi, the rolls, the special rolls, the tofu have all been perfect. The sushi chef is a gold medal winner and it shows. I took a friend who used to work at a sushi restaurant and she too was impressed. Service is very good and the restaurant clean and comfortable.
