My new favourite sushi place! I've never been here physically THIS REVIEW IS FROM AN ORDER THROUGH DOORDASH! Had to call the restaurant to inquire about their delivery through DoorDash. The guy on the phone was snippy and ride. But damn, their food is so good the 2 minute encounter I had with him doesnt mean jack. Here's what I got: Salmon sashimi: best salmon sashimi I've had in Calgary! Thick, creamy and so so delicious they give 3 generously sized pieces for $5.95! Mango addict: not your traditional mango roll, this one includes smoked salmon which adds a very distinct taste to the roll. It's overpowering and different but not in a bad way; if you like adventurous flavours I recommend it! 8 pieces for 11.95! Spicy tuna: I was expecting a roll that would be creamy (with mayo) but instead I was met with an unexpected crunch! Just the right amount of spicy for the taste buds with a nice sweetness that sriracha brings. I'm not a fan of cucumber, but in their rolls they put a generous amount of protein so I wasn't overpowered with watery cucumber. 8 pieces for $6.50 Salmon avocado: a nice soft but not overly ripe piece of avocado with a thick, savoury piece of salmon in a simple roll! 8 pieces for $6.50! The only thing I didn't like were the California rolls I ordered, but that is because I personally don't like them and wanted to taste them for the first time in a very long time. Because it's personal preference I won't take off a star! I will definitely be a repeat customer. They arrived quickly via DoorDash, but they also have a personal delivery service if you call them. They included 2 small containers of soy sauce and 2 pairs of chopsticks as well as napkins for delivery. There is no wasabi or ginger in the photos because I asked them not to include these with my meals. read more

Wanted a mid-day "snack" and have been craving sushi so I ordered some salmon avocado rolls and miso soup. The sushi was really well priced and great quality! If I had just ordered that I would easily give a full 5 stars. The miso soup was just okay though... definitely want to try more things from Nami in the future and will update my rating if I find everything else is as delicious as the sushi!! read more

Dropped in for supper at Nami and ordered seaweed salad, assorted tempura, rainbow roll, assorted sashimi and rice. We were not disappointed but did find it cool by the windows. The staff were very nice and the restaurant was clean as usual. A number of food delivery personnel came in to pick up orders which is a good indicator of popularity. The restaurant was not full but normal for a Wednesday night. Prices were reasonable but I notice prices all around town going up in restaurants and wonder how long they can keep going at the ever increasing prices. Maybe it's just a sign of the times. read more

A great Calgary find for takeout sushi, we were easily able to find parking and pick it up. The sashimi was thick and smooth, and we especially enjoyed the torched salmon roll. Would recommend Nami for takeout sushi orders. read more

Sushi on a whim after eating pretty unhealthily during this Cowtown trip, we went on google and found what was closest with the highest rating. Which brings us to Nami Sushi and Grill. Beautiful Sunny afternoon led us to the patio in this quiet restaurant off 17th Ave. Basically empty aside from just one other table on the patio occupied. Decorated with Just-Eat stickers and restless wait staff standing around, the impression and expectations for the rest of this sushi trip was set. Generic and lengthy menu with overly pushy staff that seemed a little too quick to rush us out. Food was decent, prices were fair; but overall, meh. Service didn't cut it for me and I'm sure there are better places around the area for a more memorable sushi experience. Assorted Sashimi - ($26.95) - 4/5 - 15 pieces of 5 different kinds, which came out to be salmon, tuna, octopus, and amberjack. Presentation was beautiful, slices were thick and big. I guess you're getting the bang for your buck with this order. Tasted fresh and decent- not totally melt in your mouth fresh or anything but curbed our hunger and sushi pains. Salmon Battera - ($10.50) - - My love for pressed sushi in unreal. Seeing this on the menu made me ecstatic. Torched salmon with avocado and a nice savory creamy glaze on the top. This was so satisfying, my favorite of the dining experience. read more

Have been visiting and ordering takeaway from Nami for 2yrs now and have yet to be disappointed. My previous review remains the same. This is also the only next-day-straight-from-the-fridge leftover sushi I have ever had that's just as good. I may be addicted to Nami and this is one addiction I plan to never give up! Seriously go if you love sushi, and try their yakisoba noodles they are unreal! read more

So given that this place has such great reviews and ratings, I decided to take my friend who is a sushi lover here. It really did not stand up to either of our expectations to be honest. We went here for lunch and the parking situation was not bad given that its close to 17th ave - there are some spots available behind Cibo that are free for 2 hours. The restaurant was not busy and we were seated right away. We ordered the spicy roll combo and the assorted sushi combo. The spicy roll combo comes with 8 pieces of spicy salmon roll, 8 pieces of spicy tuna roll and 8 pieces of the spicy dynamite roll ($16.95). Although, the combo was named 'spicy' combo, it was not spicy in the least. Also, the tempura shrimp in the dynamite roll was not fresh making it tough to chew. The assorted sushi combo came with 8 pieces of california roll and 7 different kids of sushi ($16.50). There was red and white tuna, shrimp, egg, and salmon rolls. My friend did not like it - she also mentioned that it didn't taste fresh to her. Also, she did not finish her california rolls which says a lot because she doesn't like to waste food. Overall, I felt like the quality of the rolls were not fresh. The upside was that it was a lot of food for the price. read more

Terrible experience we ordered through Uber eats cost $79 for a small order. They do not use the delivery service they use their own so there is no indication when the food is ready or when it would be coming. The order said 20-35 min order took triple the time. The sashimi was completely frozen with ice crystals throughout discoloured and definitely not fresh, rolls were falling apart and bland, both rolls we ordered tasted the same. Phoned and they told us the rolls were made fresh but would not say anything about the freshness or the fact the sashimi was frozen. Will not order again, do not recommend Uber eats either! Going straight into the green bin! read more

Really like Nami for good priced sushi. Been going here since it first opened and have had most things on the menu. Pickup orders are 10% off. Restaurant is spacious and in a decent location for parking. Service is good and friendly but sometimes the servers go a bit overboard lol. The seafood and fish are usually fresh, had one bad takeout order for the grilled squid years ago but that's okay. My favorite is the salmon battera but all of the aburi pressed sushi are good options. For rolls, I think Green Dragon is my top one but also enjoy the Flames, Volcano, Red Dragon, Chopped Scallop, California, Nami, Spicy Tuna. Always get salmon and tuna sashimi. For apps, we usually get takoyaki, ikayaki, tataki and agedashi tofu. Not huge on the yakitori sauce here in skewers or noodles, way overpowering punch of salty seasoning for us, it needs to chill out lol. Something different that we have tried were the crazy boy roll, monkey brain (fried avocado concoction) and snow white rolls and they were unexpectingly good. Recommend Nami if you haven't been. read more

So far one of the best sushi restaurant I've ever been. Very polite and helpful staff. Sashimi bowl was one of the best! Nice thick cuts and fresh good quality fish!! Also the "monkey brain" was awesome. "Calgary flames" and "green dragon" were both very good rolls as well. I'll definitely come back here and I wish they had a restaurant in Edmonton too! :( read more

Sushi was delivered quick on doordash. We ordered salmon maki, dynamite roll, salmon sashimi, 7 assorted nigiris and 8 pc California roll. Everything was good and the sashimi cut was thick and super fresh. read more

Nami Sushi and Grill - two trays of sushi - Japanese Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Sushi is typically not great for vegetarians and so I usually avoid it because as much as I love rice and cucumbers and avocados it's usually not that satisfying. However, Nami might just convert me into a sushi regular. They have a super awesome vegetarian sushi combo that came with a good variety of rolls. The yam tempura roll, inari, and avocado sashimi were my favourites. Nothing had cream cheese in it thankfully because I hate cream cheese, even though I've never tried it, I just know that I do. The vegetable rolls were probably the worst; they didn't have much flavour and all I could really taste was the shredded carrot. My friends shared the tower which actually does come in a three tiered tower. They commented that the fish portions were surprisingly big and the tower was demolished by the end of the night so I can only assume everything tasted good. A new local favourite! read more

You know that friend who's always there for you? Good times and bad? You can just show up at their house and your friend serves all the awesome sashimi and maki you can handle and charges really reasonable price? Nami is that friend. I like Nami's simple sushi... miso soup, sashi, Mali rolls, no frills. The wait staff are nice, VERY quick, and I've never had anything to complain about. read more

Mini and I wandered by and decided to stop in. We have a pretty standard order anywhere new. Gyoza, cucumber roll, mango roll, salmon nigiri. Today we ordered those as well as the tempura veggies and a vegetable roll. The mango roll wasn't my favorite, I'm guessing because of the smoked salmon. The rolls are very small and packed tightly but they are all the same price for the special rolls. The cucumber and vegetable rolls were perfect, and the gyoza was delicious. The nigiri wasn't my favorite in yyc. The sushi rice was too sweet for my liking (and I drink Moscato, this girl loves sweet) but the fish was fresh. I wish it had be chilled slightly but I'm nitpicking. The service was out of this world and when we left they gave use a coupon for $5 off our next visit. I will definitely go back to try more of their extensive menu. read more

My partner and I love this place. We have been ordering sushi from here for about two years and the consistent value and quality keeps us coming back. When we dine in the servers are so friendly and attentive. We also love the amount of wasabi and ginger they give us. Their prices are perfect and they are quick too! Cannot say enough good about this sushi place! What a gem! read more

Picked up sushi for dinner, the food was great and the value was really good. The spicy sauce on their tuna roll was better than my usual sushi spot. If you order direct (instead of through an app) there is a discount for pickup. read more

Very impressed! Did a take out for me and my girlfriend on new years eve and we were both impressed with value and quality. We decided to splurge a bit for the new years and got ourselves a wakame salad, party tray b (take out only) and assorted sashimi. The thickness of the sashimi were almost equal to the ones in Vancouver and they were very fresh and delicious. The party tray featured 3 pieces of assorted nigiri and although a bit on the smaller size they were still good. Overall I would definitely go back to this place and recommend takeout from this place read more

I have been going to Nami for a few years now, and it's too bad I have to update my review from 5 stars to 3 stars. I remember Nami as a place that you could trust to have reliable, decent quality sushi for extremely reasonable prices. However, the last few times I went the quality has been going down notably. Most recently I went for happy hour (2-4PM Monday-Thurs), and the all the rolls I had were worse than grocery store sushi. While the fish content was still pretty decent, the rice was completely soggy and sticky and the rolls were almost unrecognizable. The price was awesome, for $3 a roll, but that can't even come close to excusing the awful rice. I have also started to notice that an average dinner at Nami without sashimi ends up being about the same as a decent AYCE dinner ($28), so I've pretty much stopped going to Nami. Overall in a pinch its still okay, but if I don't see improvement next time I'm there I'll probably stop going. read more

Lots of sushi rolls to pick from (20+). It's hard to figure out what the rolls look like because most of them have similar ingredients and they don't have many photos on the menu of how the rolls look. Sashimi is okay quality. Takoyaki wasn't that great, no octopus pieces in the center and felt like I was just eating a ball of dough. read more

Have only ordered thru doordash and delivery is quick and prices are reasonable. They give you a generous amount of ginger and wasabi which is nice. read more

Got this on door dash and it was amazing, highly recommend getting some sushi here. The sashimi was great and the dynamite roll was great too. read more

Had a great dinner at Nami Sushi and Grill. Went on a hot night and found the restaurant to be extremely hot which seemed to affect the sushi. Went with assorted tempura to start which had a thick batter, and for the main we went with the Nami Tower with the addition of a yam roll. The maki rolls were falling apart, which may have been caused by the heat, and we found the sushi to be sticking to the glass dish. The price was very reasonable. For the great value I would return to Nami Sushi and Grill - but when the restaurant isn't so hot. read more

The Beltline has a new affordable place for sushi! I'm a fan, more of the nigiri and maki rolls than the sashimi, which was still frozen when I got home. In terms of value, Nami has no competition. A big party platter costs $30.00. I ordered the Nami Tower for $35, which was more than enough food for two people. I'm going to pick up a platter for future parties, and I want to try the chicken teriyaki don, which I hear from a reliable source is stellar. read more

We're from Vancouver and we have the best sushi there so I wasn't expecting much when we ate here. But we're actually pretty impressed how good the sushi here are. My favourite is the Calgary Flames roll.... sooo good. I also liked the croquettes and soft shell crab. Service was excellent, the lady serving us is really friendly and has a lot of urgency!!!! read more

I can't believe I didn't write a review right after my first visit, because this place is great! First of all the people who work there really care about their customers, they are extremely nice people! I remember our first visit, they had just opened and they directly asked for feedback, such a smart thing to do but it rarely happens. Second, the food. Super fresh, the rolls are so low on rice and you get a lot of fish/filling. They often put some fried tempura inside the roll, in the spicy tuna for example. I personally would prefer it without it but I understand that a lot of people like these small crunchy pieces. It's just something celiac people need to know about. Prices are really good especially regarding the quality you get. So there is a reason why this place is quite busy in the evenings and especially on the weekend. It's worth the wait, in case you have to. A lot of people also get take out, I think you get 10% off take out. I'd say this is my second favorite sushi place in Calgary. Red Ember is still better. read more

Nami Sushi and Grill - Really thin layer of rice and good quality fish with some tempura flakes inside - Spicy Tuna Roll, 8pc for only $5,50 - Japanese Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

The price is right at Nami for my sushi fix! Though sometimes the rolls don't look as pretty, you really get the bang for your sushi buck. The rolls are tasty, tempura is good, nice miso soup, the sashmi has been thawed for my experiences. And 10% off on pick-up orders. I ordered a boat load of sushi for me and my husband, this amount/variety usually costs us around $50 a few blocks down, but at Nami it was $34! And when you walk in all the staff will greet you in unison, uttering out a cry of hello, but Id on't actually know what they say. They also have a patio! Not that I have ever eaten sushi on a patio, but might be nice to grab a Sapporo after work when the 14th Street traffic has died down. read more

Best sushi in the city. The quality and portions are amazing value for the price. Fish is always fresh and the service has been wonderful every time I have gone in. I really love the spicy salmon sashimi and the bento boxes... it's a really great way to try a few items at once. read more

Decent sushi place on the edge of the Beltline. Lots of options on the menu, including quite a bit of vegetarian food (but please note that this doesn't include the miso soup, sadly). Ample portions, fairly fresh fish - you know, fresh for Calgary :) I did find the presentation a bit lacking for my rolls, but I had no complaints with the taste or the price. It looks like it could be a very lively place, (although it was fairly quiet that night). They have a patio right on 14th St for people watching, which I hope to try next visit. The TV was playing Euro Cup soccer when we were there, but I don't know what else they show. Staff were quite pleasant and super helpful, answering all of our questions with ease. A nice touch - they overheard it was my partner's birthday, so at the end of the meal they brought him a slice of cheesecake & sang Happy Birthday to him. It was delicious and worth returning for :) 3 1/2 stars read more

This place is awesome. It's close to my house, it's speedy, it's really good sushi. Oh, and the best part - it's reasonably priced! In Calgary! (I know, I couldn't believe it either, but it's true - good quality reasonably priced sushi in Calgary.) I have a few faves... Party tray (to go only) - you know, when you want to have your friends over for a boozy wine night on your balcony and you're too lazy to cook and need some little alcohol sponges to sop up the booze. $29 for 58 pieces. The yam tempura roll is really really good. California roll (I know, it's cliche, but I love a good california roll) - 8 pieces, more crab than rice, and under $4. Salmon sashimi - fresh, decent size, and reasonably priced. Yay protein! Booze (you know me well enough to know that booze is a great accompaniment to a meal...or no meal) - domestic bottles $3.50, wine - not amazing, but a great deal. If I lived within a block of this place I probably would just have sushi for dinner every single night. You should too! Bottom line - good quality and excellent value. Give them a try. read more

The sushi was reasonably priced, with good portions and a better than average selection of vegetarian items. The downside was really the inaccuracy of the menu, and the service. While greeted promptly, once the dishes has been cleared it took almost twenty minutes for our server to return to our area. We ordered dessert from the menu, and when it came, was not what we had ordered, but a more expensive option. We asked our server and were told we ordered wrong, she brought the menu so we could point out what we had ordered, when she told us they didn't have those options anymore. So, with our expensive ice cream melting (presumably, from its shape, not for the first time...) we were told we had our only option. After dessert, we were never served again. No one came to tidy our dishes, and we had to go up to the service window to request our bills. I really wanted to love this place... But I'm not sure I'll venture back. read more

I decided to go to Nami because their sushi looks beautiful in photos. I liked the thinner rice layer surrounding the sushi. However, the atmosphere was so-so, a bit too dark and cave-like for my preferences. That said, my rating is more-or-less based on the food. The pumpkin soup (which I think was actually made from kabocha squash) was delicious, but the hokkigai and tako sashimi were not very fresh and were obviously frozen. We also got the grilled saba box sushi with ginger and green onion but we weren't too impressed. I found the rice to be a bit too sweet and the ginger a little overpowering, but the saba was good. The veggie roll we got was tasty and I enjoyed the thinner rice layer. Last but not least, we ordered the Nami roll which was the best tasting thing we ordered. The deep fried unagi was tasty with an extra crunch and the spicy tuna topping on the sushi was also tasty. I really like that they use a thinner rice layer. read more

Nice spot..Loved their chopped scallop roll with cucumber and had some of my friends specialty rolls which were yummy . Friendly staff. Would come again :-) read more

Another example of a poor sushi joint in Calgary. Poor service. Poor sashimi. Rolls were okay. Would never recommend this place to anyone......the "vibe" was the only thing that was half assed decent. read more

Ordered from this place on Uber Eats. Waited forever for our food- they didn't update the app to let us know it was on its way, didn't answer their phone when we tried numerous times to call for an update, and when we finally got a hold of them, were told it was "on its way" even though it had clearly not even left the restaurant (it arrived a full 50 minutes later). "Sorry we're very busy right now" is not a good excuse for having obviously forgotten about our order. Essentially I paid over $50 to wait an hour and a half for sushi that was cold by the time it finally arrived. read more

I have been looking for years for a place that does a good chicken roll (as much as I want to love fish, I just cant :( Nami does a chicken roll that you can avocado or cream cheese or cucumber to and it is AWESOME. Ive ordered twice in 4 days :) Their yam fries and spring rolls are also fantastic. Highly recommend! read more

This is in a busy area on 14th st, near 17th ave. Parking is not easy, but it was worth the trip. Small venu with a nice patio for the warm days.
