One of the best places in RI to have sushi!!! - professional staff - follows COVID guidelines - great drinks read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND -- this is my favorite restaurant in Providence! Delicious food with relaxing atmosphere, comfortable seats, friendly staff, parking available... what more can you ask for? Food never fails to disappoint -- the sushi is SO FRESH and delicious and it's so hard to find this quality elsewhere! I also recommend the stir-fry yakiudon which is the best I've ever had. Their tempura ice cream is also the bomb and the portion is huge!! I've tried so much of the menu and you honestly can't go wrong with anything you order. read more

Nami - Literally tastes like heaven - Japanese Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

My first visit to Nami. I sat at an inside table by the open door with a huge comfy leather chair. My waiter Edwin was a very attentive young man and checked in with me politely about 10 times during my visit. The sake selection was respectable. I ordered the organic 10 ounce Kikusui Junmai Ginjo Sake ($20), a very good medium-dry sake, not too sweet. I prefer to order sashimi with a side of brown rice ($4) instead of sushi, so I can minimize my rice consumption. I love oshinko (the Japanse pickle) and had a small side order ($2). The 20+ piece sashimi special, priced at very modest $25 normally comes with sushi rolls. I asked if I could skip the rolls. The sushi chef was extremely accommodating with my request. I was pleasantly surprised that the basic sashimi plate was served with three plump fresh sweet scallops and two sweet shrimp (including the delicious fried top section of the shrimp), higher-priced items rarely seen on special combo plates. Tonight Nami also had uni with quail egg, well-priced at $7 each. Uni is very perishable and usually expensive. This uni was spectacular and cleverly served in a cucumber cup. The quality of the rest of the fish was very good. My dinner was delicious and relaxing. My total bill was $73, including the sake and large bottle of Pellegrino ($6). Comparable dinners at other sushi places could be closer to $100 before tip. I also spoke with Nami's owner on the way out and complimented her on my delightful dinner. She was very gracious, grateful and hoped I would come back. I will return for more! read more

Went to Nami tonight on a Friday. We were seated right away. It wasn't terribly busy but the waiter took forever to come back to our table each time. And our waters were not refilled. We ordered 4 sushi rolls the spicy crab, dragonfly, firecracker and passion. We saw the sushi waiting at the sushi bar waiting to be brought over to us for 10 minutes. The dragonfly was a deep fried roll and it was ice cold by the time we got it. The rolls were not very good. None of them had good flavor. I would not recommend and I won't be back-go to Yama Fuji on North Main! read more

Nami - Japanese Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

What I enjoyed about this place: atmosphere, Sake selection, and service. All three were great. Overall though, the sushi is good, but I don't think it's the best for the price. The prices are a bit expensive considering you can get the same quality of food for lower prices elsewhere in Rhode Island. I think it's a fun place for a night on the town with friends, but I don't think I would return here just for the quality of the food. read more

I love sashimi and very particular about it. That says the qaulity and freshness of fishes, the size and shape of each piece (the size can be too big or small and the cut cannot be thick or thin) The sashimi dishes (Sashimi Dulex and Chirashi) were right in all my spec. The presentation was the extra .5 star. We also had the specials: the roll with lobster and avocado and Toro tartai ($12). They are all good. I will go back for sure. read more

My daughter and I went here,on a groupon I had purchased. We were greeted immediately and given a choice of whatever table we wanted, as the restaurant was not full at that time. Because we are not a fan of raw sushi, the waitress gave us some options, which we took her up on her. I ordered the tempura shrimp and my daughter ordered the king's throne, with a side of sauteed asparagus. Everything was so yummy. The combination of mango,avocado and lobster had us fighting each other for the last bite. And the asparagus was so good, we got an order to go. Additionally, the decor is eye candy. We loved our waitress,Cindy, and she aimed to please. This place is a keeper! read more

It was my first time at Nami's and I must say I love it! the atmosphere, the service, the menu, the quality of the sushi was overall wonderful. I was quite impressed by the variety of maki rolls in the menu and the 2 types of large scorpion bowl type drinks. They even offer 2 types of dressings for the salads which include sesame and miso. Get the sesame! I look for variety and quality whenever I dine out at sushi spots because I know my "stuff" and I have to say, Nami has all the right "stuff" going on! Many different sushi rolls ranging from $6-18. I enjoyed dining here, *cue terminator voice* "I'll BE BACK!" read more

We were looking for something other then Italian in Providence (just our luck huh?) and found Nami through Yelp. The complimentary valet was convenient as there is a little alley next to the restaurant you can just pull in to. The food and drink was quite good. We ordered a pitcher of sangria to start (34$!). While expensive there was almost 8 glasses worth in there. The pitcher was more like a tub. It was refreshing and tasty. The sushi was great. Rolls were packed with fish and had just a small amount of rice, yet the rolls were still LARGE. Bigger than most sushi places. The combinations were all good, our favorites being the passion and samurai rolls. The octopus ceviche was also pleasing with fruit which paired surprisingly nicely. The service was also great, fun to talk to and checked on each course and drink. If we get back to Providence and are craving sushi we'll be back. read more

What a spectacular meal my partner and I had at Nami. We went for his 41st birthday celebration and were not disappointed with our choice. It was the first time there. The service was phenomenal, the food was even better. We started with 1/2doz. raw oysters, beef negimaki, and a dragon ball. The oysters were so fresh and a perfect medium size. The beef negimaki was a perfect medium rare and beautifully presented. Lastly the dragon ball was not only beautiful but so so flavorful. After that we had an array of sashimi and negiri. We did some uni, toro, wild king salmon, flying fish roe, Japanese scallops, and yellow fin. Everything was so fresh and the fish was buttery fat delicious. Cocktails with the apps were great! I had the cucumber sake-tini. Also, the sake selection was impressive. All around beautiful dinner. read more

My first time here.. Decor: The restaurant is freaken beautiful. It really took me by surprise at how beautiful it was. The atmosphere is superb! A++ Food: I feel like I can find better sushi at some of my other favorite spots like Haruki or Sakura. For me the sushi rolls were on the larger size..if your like me ..you like your maki rolls to fit in your mouth without having to break them apart ..you just lose the whole sushi experience in my perspective. The rolls were good though but nothing impressive, favors were mediocre, quality was fresh. Appz were good. A friend of mine did recommend I try the entrees. ..next time. Price: Specialty rolls range from 10 to 15 bucks (which I think is normal). They do offer their classic maki rolls at 5 to 6 dollars. Appz were on the pricey side.. Overall, nice spot with mediocre food..Give the place a try. Its worth a try. happy eating! :) read more

Nami has great sushi and a beautiful atmosphere. My friend and I were seated at a table inside, but still open to the outdoor breeze and downtown atmosphere: the best of both worlds! Our waiter was super helpful and recommended the special roll of the night: spicy tuna and mango with avocado. That, along with the dragon ball, were delicious! Everything tasted fresh, and I would definitely recommend Nami's sushi. read more

Was looking forward to an evening in Providence and wanted to give this place a try. It's filthy-sticky tables, floor and a coat of dust on the walks and fake plants. Server was attempting to place a tray and knocked over a full container of HOT tea. No only did it get all over my clothes, it slid down the table onto the table next to us and through the crack onto the floor - soaking my handbag. I asked for more towels and the server just scowled at me. My daughter and her friend enjoyed their meals - hubby's crispy chicken was soggy, and soup was cold. Don't waste your money or time. read more

Ordered the Lunch Sashimi and it was great. $14 for 12 pieces of sashimi, along with miso soup and salad. Not a bad deal. Two issues. First, I felt like the sashimi pieces could have been larger, or at least more dense. Secondly, the presentation is beautiful, but it contributes to the deception of how much food you actually get. All the ice, decorations and lights make the plate look a bit too extra. In short: an overcrowded dish. Otherwise, this is really nice spot with a menu offering a vast array of sushi. read more

Came here after work and was blown away by how great this restaurant was. The ambiance is very chic and up scale. The servers were very attentive and great at explaining the menu. We started out with drinks. I had the Nami drink and it was UNBELIEVABLE. Definitely worth the 20 dollar price tag. I had to share it with 2 other people because it was just the largest drink ever. The couple we were with didn't like some of the combinations for drinks, so the bartender made them a custom drink. It was also great! For our main course, we shared a toro scallion roll (very fresh), eel avo (always a classic), and the passion roll. The passion roll was definitely the star of the night! thinking of it makes me salivate! My goal was to find a sushi restaurant since I moved from the New Jersey/ New York area. This will definitely be my go to sushi restaurant. Can't wait to go back! read more

Minda, the bartender was knowledgeable and pleasant. The food and drink was superb! We had the special summer drink, with gin "summer Love" I believe. They had a nice selection of liquor and the prices were right. We also had a couple sushi rolls, one was her recommendation...she did not steer us wrong...awesome roll. The wings were tasty, too. Would recommend and go back. Looked like a nice place for all different size gatherings and events: they had large dinning tables in private rooms. The bathrooms were clean and nicely done. read more

Food is really good but nothing too special. We liked the sushi a lot. The sushi is reason enough to go.

Food was cold. Nonetheless they tipped themselves on a take out order charging my card $47.00 for a $37.00 dollar meal and said it was due to a 24 hour hold... read more

I went to Nami for the first time last night and absolutely loved it! I got a glass of the Malbec wine which was so good! I also ordered two sushi rolls: the Philadelphia and the Passion roll! Both were very fresh. I also had a server who brought us free shots because it was my birthday. I'm a huge sushi lover, so it was all around a 10/10 would recommend. read more

This place is one of our favorite restaurants. Their sushi quality is pretty amazing. I have been to many sushi restaurants in Rhode Island, and their service and food never disappointed us. I have tried many different dish at Nami and they were all great. Try happy hour, their fresh $1dollar oysters and $3 dollar rolls will not let you down. We go here weekly and will continue to do so. Their balance and favors are top notch (4-5 star). read more

Nami - Japanese Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

I'm a sushi lover so was thrilled to be accompanying friends to Nami on this rainy Tuesday. But, whoa, this is not just ANY Japanese/sushi restaurant. It raises the bar by a mile. The interior was beautifully appointed, our waiter was one of the best I've ever had the pleasure of knowing, and the food was so beautifully presented and thoughtfully prepared, it could have been on the cover of Gourmet Magazine. The miso soup was better and more substantial than any other I've tasted, the sashimi was so fresh and buttery soft, mmmmmmm. Everything else that everyone in my party had (hello pork belly sliders) was head and shoulders above what I've tried elsewhere. I would go back in a New York minute to try some of the other delicious sounding menu items. Nami is not inexpensive but the lunch specials were very fairly priced. This is five stars all the way. ***** read more

BE WARNED--this place is PACKED with diners in VERY close proximity. Went for a pickup order on a Friday night after receiving a text that the order was ready. It was not ready and was not ready for another 20 minutes. But most worrisome was that guests were packed around the hostess stand and the bar and the narrow corridor leading into The restaurant. Folks this is not safe and needs to be addressed. read more

Forgot how good this place was. Food was great and drinks were strong! Get the dragon ball appetizer!

As somebody who had good Sushi before I can say this IS not a good Sushi! So bland and Tasted old! Not fresh at all. also I found hair in my Damn sushi! It was not cheap either.

Would recommend highly the following. Patrick our server :). The Passion roll, the Heartbreaker and the bartender did a great whiskey sour. Solid experience folks! read more

One of the few sushi places I've been to that lets you get smaller rolls so you can try a few things! It was pretty tasty. I got two rolls and sashimi. My group didn't finish their large rolls and I got to steal theirs. I had the yellowtail jalapeño, white tuna and spider roll. read more

Nami is a good sushi option in the Providence area if you're craving it. The salmon belly is by far my favorite, and I definitely recommend it! Other special rolls are all good, and the portion sizes are about what you'd expect. I thought the chef choice platters weren't a great value or selection. I would rather order a la carte than receive an average selective of rolls and sashimi. read more

Hadn't had sushi in a while and Nani was near where were are staying. What a stroke of luck to try this place! Very nice atmosphere, and the rolls were creative and very tasty. Edwin, our waiter was on top of things and made sure we needed nothing. Only potential negative is parking. We scored a spot behind the restaurant but Federal Hill in general is challenging to park in. read more
