| - If only Nami wasn't downtown - that's the only complaint I have.
Intro. My parents and I have been going to Nami for a very, very long time. We are pretty adventurous when it comes to food and will always try new and different restaurants, but somehow, we go to Nami time and time again. The restaurant can get pretty busy so we always ask to sit at the booth...we cannot imagine sitting in the middle area so close to your neighbours that you can hear their conversation more than yours.
The only booth we don't like is the one that is shared, usually for two people, but it still is a booth.
Food. What can I say but yummy! My favorite dishes are the karioge (fried white fish), agedeshu tofu, beef sashimi, California hand rolls, and a selection of sashimi including tako, toro, maguro, and mirugai - and that's just appetizers. Then for main course it really depends on my mood but I love the grilled fish dishes such as gindara or salmon collar (hamachi). The beef terriyaki is not bad either.
Me and my amour have tried the shabu shabu which is a fun way to enjoy a variety of foods cooked in a pot in front of you (includes vegetables, rice and noodles). The dinner ends with black sesame seed ice cream, which although tastes soo good, does stain your teeth and tongue black (FYI, not a good first date dessert).
Ambiance. Great. I go to Nami for the food not the decor so as long as I have my booth I know I am good.
All in all, you can count on the quality and freshness of the dishes which is very important considering we are dealing with raw foods. I have never been to Japan so I cannot comment on how authentic the food is, but it has never let my parents and I down.
