This visit was like the final straw of an ex boyfriend that I hadn't gotten over....except now I am!
Nakama just isn't the same restaurant I remember. Maybe it's been a few years since I've been to Nakama, but instead of being a sushi/hibachi hot spot it feels more like a bar in south side that just happens to have sushi.
The staff seemed disinterested and chided us for making a reservation. Apparently we only needed one if we were ordering hibachi (we weren't).
The sushi fit our craving, but it was just mediocre. The seaweed salad was unusually sweet and the sushi was at least room temperature. I usually enjoy sushi that is a little on the colder side.
All in all, I'm glad we went to check it out since my romanticized last visit, but am ready to move on!
