As someone who has owned a restaurant in the St Regis Hotel, I understand how difficult it is to…read moreconsistently deliver great food and service. That's why I don't give praise lightly -- but Namo Izakaya Ramen & Yakitori in Sarasota absolutely deserves it. My wife, son, and daughter and I dine here twice a week, and we have never had a bad dish. The yakitori is outstanding -- perfectly cooked, flavorful, and consistently executed. The sushi is always incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, and clearly prepared with care and precision. The ramen is the best we've ever had What truly sets this place apart, though, is the personal touch. The owner and chef treat us like family every time we walk through the door. That level of hospitality, combined with the quality coming out of the kitchen, is rare. In this business, consistency is everything -- and Namo delivers it every single time. We feel fortunate to have this gem in Sarasota and recommend it without hesitation.

Service was very nice but understaffed-but seems to be the theme these days. Had a great warm house sake and edamame to start-great. Then ordered a couple veggie rolls a soft shell crab roll excellent a two piece eel roll and bento style hibachi meal. Everything was great the budha roll was very good veggied out purple rice but could have used some spice but if youre looking for a plain veggie roll this is it. The hibachi chicken was boring too needed more char. Everything was fresh and i will definitely be back! Go check it out!

The sushi here is good, but the service is consistently slow. Our dinner for three took 1 hour and…read more20 minutes, even though we arrived right at opening and the restaurant wasn't the least bit busy. What really disappointed me was the way the reservation was handled. My confirmation voicemail said they would hold the table for only 10 minutes "if the entire group is in the building." I called ahead to let them know I'd be about 15 minutes late due to traffic, thinking that would be appreciated. Instead, I was told again the reservation would only be held until 5:10. I arrived at 5:06, but the manager actually looked at his watch when we walked in the door and refused to seat us because one of our party was still parking - in plain view from the front door. This kind of rigidity and lack of hospitality really overshadowed what could have been a nice sushi experience. Good food can't make up for poor customer service.

I got a sweet potato roll and spicy tuna roll. I liked it (didn't love) but I also saw the guy sneeze behind the sushi bar after I finished it and felt kind of grossed out afterward. 2-3 stars overall for the cleanliness aspect. The place felt a little dirty to me. The women's bathroom fan had so much dust in it. The faucet had something caked all over it too. Husband did the all you can eat premium and liked it. Green tea ice cream probably would have been better without the whipped cream and chocolate syrup.

I had looked at the menu online and had an idea what I wanted but because my wife and I were going to eat family style, she needed to agree. That did not go quickly and our server was quite helpful and also gave us some space to work it out. We ended up with a Chicken Bento Box and 3 rolls, Mexiset, Scuba, and Smoked Salmon. Because of some confusion our server also got us a sample of Sashimi Smoked Salmon. We really liked that guy. With plenty of food, we dove in. I must confess my favorite parts of eating sushi is using chopsticks and including the pickled ginger and soy sauce. And also getting overly full. For me it's a fun meal. And I've also thought Bento Boxes with the various compartments a cleaver and unique thing. It was a great meal. A little crunchiness on top of the Mexiset roll added a nice contrast to the other rolls, the Teriyaki Chicken in the Bento Box added a very sweet component. The Sashimi, basically a slice of smoked salmon on a rice ball, had a generous amount of delicious fish. We had our fill and took some home for another meal. I asked about the AYCE and learned most people do the combo meals like we did but the AYCE is also popular. If you can eat at least 5 rolls, the AYCE may be for you.
