My husband and I wanted to watch the USC football game and enjoy yummy food. We stopped by other restaurants and the wait was 45 minutes. We noticed televisions from a distance as we passed Nakama, so we thought maybe they have the game on. We walked in and sat in the lounge area and one of the very friendly staff changed the channel. We shared the Nakama sampler and chicken fried rice. I enjoyed everything we tried, especially the monkey brains. We will be back to try an entree next time coupled with the monkey brains. The California rolls in the sampler were also very fresh. I definitely recommend this laid back restaurant.
