Yummy
Caroline B.

Food was delicious and came out in a timely matter Would definitely recommend for solo or get together with friends.

Roll Set For 3

Delicious salmon teriyaki. Generous portion for salmon & the salmon is crispy The rolls are tasty as well. The 3 roll set comes with miso soup

specials

Like all Saturdays, we contempt what to have for dinner and 97% of the time I seem to gravitate towards sushi. My friends recommended we all go to Nami Sushi, as they recently found this place and had a great experience. They gave me some notice, that Nami isn't a cheap sushi spot, but it's not an omakase restaurant either. Personally, I'm usually fine with cheap sushi but I recently hit a small parlay and was up for some premium sushi.. so I said yes. We parked on the street and paid the money meter. Wasnt too difficult parking, despite being on the busy street of Northern Blvd. The first thing I noticed before entering the restaurant was a sign looking to hire more servers. They appear to be short staffed but I promise you that you wouldn't even notice any lack in service. Inside the restaurant, there's about 10 tables or so. It's a fairly small and intimate space in my opinion. The sushi chefs are situated on the right side of the restaurant and they stayed behind the bar the entire time we were there. There are also 4 seats available at the bar if you're up for that. The servers were friendly and super attentive. For example, the moment my wife accidentally dropped her chopsticks on the floor, the server's asian parent spidey sense kicked in and handed her a new pair immediately. Ok, I know you're dying to know what we ordered. Here you go! Tuna Tataki (Toro) Gyoza x2 Beef Negimaki Spicy Rock Shrimp Tempura Chicken Teriyaki x2 THE NAMI Set Rainbow Roll Wagyu and Uni Sushi x4 Fire & Ice roll Roll Set (Salmon Avocado, Spicy Salmon, Spicy Yellowtail) Smoked Salmon Fried Rice Cold sake x2 King Salmon Sushi x2 Ice Cream x3 As for the bill, our total before tip was about $380 for a party of 8 (4 adults and 4 kids). This wasnt bad at all considering all that we ordered above. AND yes, we definitely over ordered. The sushi was high quality. My favorite was the Tuna Tataki, as the toro was melt in your mouth and all the different texture and flavors just worked beautifully together. The other favorite was wagyu and uni sushi (duh). The Nami set had sashimi, Nigiris and rolls. It included salmon, tako (octopus), salmon, eel, and yellowtail. I would cut out the beef negimaki and rainbow roll next time. Personally, I felt those were the least impressive out of everything we ordered, but my friends on the other hand loved the beef negimaki. Overall, we had a great experience and the kids said they loved the chicken teriyaki. Surprisingly they finished all their food! I tried a piece of the chicken and I have to say, it's actually pretty bomb. Give Nami a try if you're looking to splurge a bit to satisfy your sushi fix. No regrets from me whatsoever.

Nami set for two
Teresa C.

This review is only for the nami set. We had it twice within two weeks for take out. That's how good it is. My husband and I were craving it a few days after and it's a bi-weekly treat now. There's not a single piece in the set that I don't like. The rolls that are included are even top notch. The fish is super fresh and great quality. I hope they stick around bc this is our go to sushi spot now! Def have to dine in to try their other options.

Sushi Roll Combo
Gordon Y.

Cuisine: 6 Service: 7 Decor: 6 Value: 7 Overall: 6 On a recent meal, two of us shared a Sashimi Set and a Three Sushi Roll Combo. Nothing was necessarily bad, but honestly nothing was good or great either. The sashimi was relatively fresh. However, to truly taste the flavors of the raw seafood, you need the slices of sashimi at closer to room temperature rather than bone chilling cold. Putting already very cool sashimi on top of a bed of ice did not help. You can taste small amounts of ice in certain bites. On the other hand, rice for sushi and sushi rolls should be warmer. The rice for our Yellowtail Scallion and Spicy Tuna Rolls were way too firm, not glutinous at all, which takes away from the enjoyment greatly. Salmon Skin Roll was better, probably because the filling was deep fried and hot, which warmed up the rice slightly. Fyi, I have eaten hundreds of sushi omakase here and overseas, so I have a decent gauge of what good and bad sushi/sashimi is. I am aware of its local shop intentions and not comparing this restaurant to the high end stuff in Manhattan. Anyway, I just don't see this restaurant getting much better unless it understands basic sushi concepts. I am sad to report that I will unlikely be back anytime soon on my own.

Sparkling and cold sake options
Jeannie T.

Took a chance on a grand opening and on Valentine's Day without a reservation. I got super lucky (as the place was 90% packed and almost every table was reserved), a diner was leaving and freed up a spot. I only waited a few minutes to be seated. Menu is mostly sushi offerings and a handful of hot/kitchen prepared entrees. Very limited menu but if you're here for decent sushi, you're in a good spot. While the sushi options are mostly standard fare, they do offer some premium picks - think uni, toro, caviar, and scallops. The choices are just enough for a great meal without breaking the budget. The food, notable mentions: - scallop carpaccio (good portion and flavors work with the capers and yuzu) - curry katsu don, good curry (mild, not spicy if you're curious) and the katsu had a nice crisp to it. Needs a little bit more seasoning. - uni sushi (a la carte), golden and rich. I didn't ask but I'm guessing it's the local uni from CA. - Toro is the tuna of choice rather than the regular. Smooth and tender, fatty and it's beautifully plated. Other sushi available like specialty rolls, sashimi (which I had, good assortment but slightly too cold on serving). Fried rice and rice plates available as well, think salmon and chicken. Service was a bit slow but it was to be expected as it was Valentine's Day - almost a full house and only one waiter. On a regular evening it's more than fine given the size. Take out orders galore from what I witnessed. Best to order ahead and just pick up if you don't want to stand around waiting.

Table Setting
Cellina L.

Quiet small home in the wall location. I visited on a Sunday afternoon and the sushi was fresh but the ambiance was very down to earth. The parking was horrible but I guess the freshness of the food made up for it.

Inside
Eric S.

Checked out this brand new spot and it was great! Lots of good, fresh sushi options. From the basics to fancier options. Felt like it had a good balance of options. The cooked food was really good too. The chicken teriyaki that we ordered for the kids didn't make me feel like we were ordering from a mall food court. Thr spot is a nice, cozy, and clean space. Nothing crazy, but felt right. Service was good, super friendly, and since it is brand new opening, was def on top of everything. Really liked this place as a good sushi/cooked Japanese food spot, that hit the spot with the basics and had nice fancier options if you are in the mood for it.

Gyu Don
Sharis C.

Pleasantly surprised how good the sushi was! It was fresh, had good flavors and the prices are very good. Special rolls are only $15 and the sushi set is around $25. I would recommend the sushi set and the tuna tataki. The only thing I would not recommend are the hot entrees. The gyu don was not up to par at all just by the look of it. The service is good and I would definitely come back again for the sushi!

Helen C.

Solid 4.5 stars but rounded up for Yelp. In the neighborhood visiting with kids in tow and Nami had no wait and kid friendly items on the menu. The staff was super friendly, set up the high chair and gave us spill proof cups. Bathrooms were clean and food came rather quickly. Menu items were interesting enough to not be basic, and basic enough to satisfy the children. Walking around the area, this is a top pick for food choice. It satisfies the trifecta of good, fast, affordable. No complaints from adults or kids here.

Michiba (sautéed Salmon inside with onion and kani, seared salmon on top with chili sauce)
Liv B.

Used to come here all the time when it was Tokyo GoGo. Same setup and space is used. Waitress was very nice and accommodating. I was tempted to sit at the bar since I was solo but they use the sushi bar for takeout orders. The menu has a select number of special rolls all look very tempting. I started with the fried shishito peppers and the batter was light and crispy but the peppers alone were a bit hard to eat. I'm used to shishito peppers being smaller like fries and more of them. These particular ones were huge and the seeds inside were a lot, too much at times to consume, which is why I enjoy the smaller peppers with less seeds. I'll opt for something else next time as all the apps sound great. I went with the Michiba roll. Excellent taste, salmon was super fresh and the sear was perfection. The tea was good but had a very distinct taste of rice, sometimes overpowering but still satisfying. I will definitely be back to try more items on the menu. Music was relaxing but could use a change up to liven the atmosphere a bit.

Nami Sushi is worth a visit for its fresh fish and skilled plating. The yellowtail was buttery and bright, and the botan ebi stood out with sweet meat and a crispy fried head, madai was the best for me. Service is friendly, sake selections are good, and prices are fair for the fresh sushi. That said, some dishes need work. The uni from Hokkaido and ikura tasted bland, likely from being frozen, and the beef negi- maki scallions were undercooked. The restaurant was empty throughout our meal, which was a shame, business is tough these days. The menu is small, understandable for a small spot, but expanding it could attract more diners. Nami Sushi has solid basics if they tighten up the inconsistent bites and maybe add more options, they could really shine. Give it a try to support a local spot with potential.

Reviews are largely positive. Diners highlight the fresh, high-quality sushi, reasonable pricing, and friendly, attentive service. The space is clean and cozy, and chicken teriyaki is popular.

Honestly, I'm surprised this restaurant has a four-star rating. While the service was excellent,…read morethe food was consistently disappointing. We started with a lychee martini that tasted overwhelmingly of vodka, with barely any lychee flavor. Of the appetizers--the seaweed salad, cucumber salad, and edamame dumplings--the cucumber salad was the best. The seaweed salad tasted like a standard prepackaged version, while the dumplings had an unusual, unpleasant flavor and tasted as though they had come straight from the freezer. For our main dishes, we ordered the chicken teriyaki bento box and udon with tempura. The udon was acceptable, but the tempura was excessively oily, lacking the light, crisp texture you would expect. Even the chicken teriyaki was underwhelming; it tasted more like a reheated, prepared meal than something freshly cooked. The sushi was another letdown, with an odd flavor and appearance. The dynamite roll was especially disappointing, with an unpleasant texture and very little flavor beyond a touch of heat. The staff deserves credit for their attentive, friendly service, but unfortunately, that couldn't make up for the quality of the meal. We left feeling genuinely disappointed.

After trying a dozen of sushi/omakase places in New York I can definitively the best I've had…read more The omakase at Sanyuu West is honestly unbeatable. Every single fish is very high quality I find many places like the skimp out on the less popular fish but not Sanyuu West. I think the omakase is also at a very good price for the quality and amount you get though I know it is more expensive than maybe the average omakase spot right now. I also find that other spots usually underdeliver. I wish I could save more detail but honestly I have nothing more to say other than the fact that Sanyuu Weat amazing. The restaurant itself is also more spacious than I expected. Besides the main bar there are two sitting areas near the window as well as seats lined up to the bathroom to make yourself comfortable two things that I think are a rare find now in many places. A lot of thought is put into this restaurant layout and I think you can tell. The service was also great I found myself never lacking in water or waiting too long for my next piece. In fact, I had started to apologize about drinking so much water because I felt like the hostess was constantly at my side refilling my cup and she just turned to me and said, "don't apologize. Drinking water is very important." So true!!!! I'm very picky abt my recommendations to friends, I'll review any place I go to and give my thoughts but a real recommendation? I only have around a dozen or so. And Sanyuu West is definitely now part of that dozen.

It is a really small place with around 6-8 tables so it probably gets busy at times and there may be a wait. One of the best parts of their menu here is that you can order sushi by the piece.

Do of course I use Yelp to find something that catches my eye close by where we need to be. I found umami Sushi. We usually can't go wrong with Japanese food or sushi. We had no problems finding the place. The description said it was a small restaurant and as we entered the dining area was very small. Our hotel room was probably bigger. That doesn't bother me especially if we get there, there tables for us to sit comfortably. I also trust my judgment when I find a place that seems to be popular by the locals. The restaurant was empty when we arrived. We were the only ones there, but for some reason we bring good vibes to the places we eat because not too long after we placed our order, people started coming in, to the point that the small dining room was packed. I love Omakase style Service and what we ordered was a sashimi/sushi platter for three and two special rolls. I thought I got to choose the rolls but even that was chefs choice. I was just a bit worried that they would give us the cheap rolls like spicy tuna or California roll. The platter came out and it was beautifully prepared with a piece of sashimi for each of us and the rolls the chefs chose, ended up being two of my favorite rolls. The types of fish they selected were also great quality fish. We were lucky to have placed our order before the crowd came in our we might have had to wait a while because how they prepared it would have taken some time. The service was just right. Because they got busy right away, the waitress was forced to attend to everyone and couldn't really socialize with us. In fact when we finished our platter we were debating what we wanted for dessert but the waitress didn't even ask us and instead she just brought us the bill, so we said to ourselves, "I guess we're not having dessert here." So we paid the bill and gave an opportunity for someone else to take our table.
