| - I visited on a Thursday evening, 7 pm. Menu seemed pricey but we wanted to give this place a try. Although the restaurant was only half seated, we had to wait a bit before being served. (Not sure if they were understaffed). The chef was polite enough to reassure us that it would just be a moment.
Tempura Udon - While super hot in temperature (which is an absolute plus), the shrimp and veggie tempuras were placed into the soup, causing for them to be extremely soggy as a result. Other restaurants place the tempura on a separate dish so if I ever come back, I'd probably request for this! The noodles were not too mushy and not too hard - a well balance.
Crispy Butter Roll - This came in a cute triangular roll, which was different. It was made of deep fried butter fish with oba leaf, yamagobo, cucumber, tobiko and spicy sauce (it wasn't spicy). However, it often fell apart easily if I took more than one bite, so it may be best enjoyed by taking one large bite!
Chicken Teriyaki Set - Quite pricey for the portion. Carrots were nice and soft, potatoes were a slightly dry, while the chicken was average. I can't say that it was worth the $23, when there are likely other restaurants that have a lower price without compromise of the quality.
Their service was fair. They were polite but it was difficult to get our server's attention when we needed them. Their washrooms were tidy, clean (with many mirrors!)
Would I come back again? Nothing urges me to do so strongly. To keep expectations realistic, Nami is not out-of-this-world outstanding.
