Hello, after having lived in Vancouver for many years and undoubtedly having become a sushi addict I have moved out east (Quebec) and since then I am still in search for decent sushi's. On our visit to Halifax I was looking forward to seeing if the sushis here would be taking advantage of the fresh crab meat and finally grant me with the Sushi epiphany I have been looking for for the past four years. This place came in highly recommended by two of our local friends and five stars Yelp so I decided to give it a shot. The place is well located in front of a lake in what seems to be a very nice neighbourhood. The staff greeted us in a friendly manner and kids felt welcomed. The place was clean too. We had some veggies tempuras, California rooks, circus rolls and I can't remember the last one. I must say I was a little bit disappointed with the sushi taste, the presented nicely, yes that is true but the taste was fairly neutral. The rice was well cooked and stuck to the chopsticks adequately but I would have expected a little more flavour out of the rolls themselves. The one we choose had a lot of batter spread on top, a little too much to my taste but it's ok as we could put it on the side but I would still expect a bit more flavour out of it. For instance a California roll in Vancouver was shredded crabsticks mixed in some sort of mayo (mayo might not be the term) and on the east coast most sushis have the crab stick just cut, not shredded no sauce with it. I thought that with all the fresh crab meat available here I could expect something a little more original. Even the other rolls with crab in them (not the California roll) did not bring out the crab flavour. As a result it is not a bad sushi restaurant at all but I would have expected for more from such a highly recommended and five stars rated restaurant. read more

Literally the worst sushi rolls I've ever had in my life (and that includes the rolls you buy from the grocery store). Was craving some sushi so ordered two rolls for take out, a spicy scallop and a spicy tuna roll. I have eaten in and taken out from here before and was generally satisfied with the food, recently heard from other people that the food here was going downhill and to order from the Halifax location instead. There was so much tempura bits in the roll they wouldn't even stay together. And my soya sauce because completely saturated with tempura that it looked more like a brown paste. Never again! Couldn't even eat it. read more

Sushi Nami Royale - a person holding a bowl of food with chopsticks - Japanese Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

I've visited three times now and I have to say this place is very good. Situated in a newish building about half a mile citywards of Mill Cove, I had been wanting to try it for a while. Somewhat peckish after a shopping run on a February mid-afternoon, I popped in. The space is relatively plain, with a variety of 2, 4 and 6 seat tables and a couple of booths. The view of Bedford Basin from the rear window is somewhat spoiled by the moonscape in the foreground, but there's not much they can do about that. I opted for the Gianto~oh maki lunch special, which comes with a small salad and miso soup. Three large 6 piece rolls soon arrived; 3 each spicy tuna and salmon, 6 tempura shrimp and 6 teriyaki. All very tasty and the teriyaki was really superb, though in future I'll eat the whole thing when it's hot, rather than do the usual and eat in rotation. It all works out as quite a lot of food and I was pretty stuffed by the end, so excellent value for $16. The only issue I have is that some of the rolls, especially the teriyaki, were not that well constructed, either sticking together or having the rice fall apart when trying to pick them up. I noted that the chefs were having lunch at one of the table windows (a very fine looking Chinese collation), so perhaps my guy wasn't fully concentrating on his craft. Service was just fine, though another couple and I were the only patrons at the time so they weren't pressed and overall it was a very pleasant experience. Since this first visit I've tried some specialist rolls and had another go at the Giant~oh. Not only are the rolls very fresh, but they are quite large by local standards as well. All in all very good value. read more

Had a great lunch today at sushi nami. Place was busy and our hostess took great care of us as we were in a rush. She took our order quickly and our first dishes arrived quickly. Miso soup was great, salad was generous with lots of different ingredients, red cabbage, edamame beans, carrot, red pepper, iceberg lettuce. Salad dressing was orange based with a bit of acidity (a bit much to my taste, but not a bad thing either) We took shrimp tempura to start. Four excellent pieces with nice light golden batter. Taste was awesome with the sauce, crispy and sweet. Our main was the deluxe plater for two. 12 maki, 12 sashimi and 6 nigiri. Plate is very generous with nice thick slices of fish for the nigiri. All fishes were great aside from the haddock that had strong fishy flavour. Plate was nicely designed and inviting you to dig in. Will go again for sure. read more

Halifax really doesn't have a shortage of good Japanese restaurants and Sushi Nami is one of the better ones. This location in particular seems to be of exceptional quality. The rolls are all great as are the usual items like tempura and gyoza. Their curry is delicious and they even have okonomiyaki which I can never find anywhere so I was extremely pleased! read more

Amazing food and service every time. Tonkatsu donburi is amazing. Chickenkatsu appetizer is the best I've ever had. Every sushi roll I've tried has been delicious! Seafood udon is crazy good. My favorite sushi place in Metro! read more

I've been a Sushi Nami customer since day one, no pun intended. I became friends with Dae, the owner and entrepreneur when he had a little kiosk in Sunnyside Mall. A visionary, Dae eventually expanded to open 4 restaurants in HRM. Always placing the customer first, Dae's operations focussed on fresh sushi and those that enjoyed it. Unfortunately, they opened a new location in Bedford. I believe it might be a franchise. For the most part, the quality has been good however, wait times for pick up are often well beyond reasonable and mistakes in the order are not uncommon. This past week was an event that caught me totally off guard. After calling them to advise of another mistake in the order, we retured to pickup the correct item. They refused to credit us for the item they gave us by mistake. I tried to reason with the woman (Jane) to no avail. This will be the last time I ever eat their sushi and they know it. We had hoped we were valued customers as we have spent thousands of dollars there since their first opening. And to think they'd challenge our integrity for $11.95 is unjust and utterly insulting.

The server at the restaurant did not know the difference in types of fish and ended up serving me tuna instead of mackerel.

This is definitely the best Sushi Nami location I have been to, staff are friendly, food is so fresh and tasty place is clean and classy highly recommended. read more

We enjoyed a beautiful lunch today with lots of different dishes. This would have been a five star, however, the waitress spilt one of the beers all over my wife and only offered a replacement beer. read more
