Nakama has become our go-to dinner spot. From their potent mixed drinks, decent sake selection, friendly service and and fun decor, it's an all-around great place to enjoy a leisurely meal. If you want a quick meal, avoid Nakama - good food requires patience and there are often large parties (or small parties like mine who order a sizable variety of nibbles).
I recommend starting with the Hamachi Kama if you can get it (it's seasonal and goes fast). For those who have mentioned a concern that the chefs use too much rice in their rolls, which is not something I have ever experienced at Nakama, skip the rolls and order nigiri. Their fish is fresh and expertly prepared.
For gluten-free dining, ask that cooking sauces be left off (you won't believe how much better the already amazing unagi tastes without eel sauce) and request tamari sauce in place of the soy sauce at your table. Nakama and Hana are the only sushi joints I've been to in town that are familiar with and prepared to help gluten-free patrons dine safely. If you know of others, please message me!
