| - Well, starting this review off as I would with ANY Sushi review, namely based on the actual quality of the sushi(meaning FISH), not the rice, or the tempura, or the soup (idiots). Although the miso was fine and the black cod was delicious, I am here to talk about the sushi (or in my case the sashimi, as i no longer eat carbs).
Sidenote: I used to come here every weekend with my parents, probably from the age of 7-13, it wasnt until i turned 11 that i tried sushi, and its been a love affair ever since. On to the review, Nami hasnt changed since the last time I visited 12 years ago, honestly. But with that said, it still remains a traditional, get to the point japanese place, its not super flashy, but sushi resto's arent supposed to be. Service wasnt fantastic, but then again most old-school resto's in toronto arent used to young guys in jeans ordering alot (as this young guy in jeans does). SO with that said, I tasted a good variety of their sashimi last night, let me start off by saying that the hamachi might be the best ive had in a long long time, maybe even better then katsura's. Fluke was superb, salmon was salmon (very fresh at that), and I tried a offspring of the hamachi called bamachi, or something like that, which was also good. but wow was that hamachi ever delicious. Summary: if you like sushi/sashimi, this is definitely one of the best places in Toronto to do so. If you like dynamite rolls, well your just not worthy
