Our party of 4 made a reservation. We were met with a very polite and friendly host who sat us within minutes. Our table was on the bar side which at first put me off but once a large party including small children were seated on the opposite side of the bar I realized why and appreciated the quiet space. Our server, Phouva, was fantastic. We ordered scorpion bowls, a number of sushi rolls and a few appetizers. Everything was timed perfectly and tasted great. The treat of the evening was a nice surprise of trying fried ice cream (thank you Phouva :-) . Do not sleep on this tasty treat. I'd never had it before and will definitely order when in again next time. We'll be back for sure. We enjoyed our time at Nami!

Made a reservation on open table but probably didn’t even have to the restaurant was empty on a Sunday night other than maybe 3 other tables. Sat in a booth by the bar and was greeted by a woman who took our drink order and gave us water. Sounds fine so far, except then I guess the young lady who supposed to be our server came to the table to take our order we explained how we already placed our order with someone else which was responded by a verbal “ugh, I hate when she messes with my tables”. Then drinks came out, I ordered a scorpion bowl… I received a beer. Ok no problem, I let our server know and she would take care of it for me. About 15 minutes go by a finally get my scorpion bowl. It was around this time I noticed the woman who greeted us initially was sitting at the bar with a glass of wine herself?! I don’t know if she’s an owner or what, but that’s just not a good look at all. Server finally took our order and didn’t know the menu at all. Didn’t ask how I wanted my steak cooked, what I wanted to go with it, didn’t know the difference between any of the sushi rolls. It took about 10 minutes to place our order just to make sure she understood everything and we didn’t even modify any of the dishes! This was just a complete lack of menu knowledge. When the food came out it was 10/10 flavor was excellent and everything was cooked right so nice job kitchen staff! Except the server did forget a side of fried rice, again no big deal but the lady who is on her third glass of wine now went and got it for me and started scolding the server. This woman needs to stop getting involved with guests owner or not. We actually liked our server but could tell she needed more training. Not to be put down and shoved out of the way by a woman/owner who has been drinking at the bar all night. I can definitely tell why this place was empty if that is how it is being run.

The sushi tasted off. We sent only one roll back and they said “Sorry this wasn’t up to YOUR standards. Thanks for the feedback”. And they removed that roll from the bill. We got sick shortly after, presumably from the sushi, but of course you never really know. However this is the second time it has happened to us after eating here. Might just be a coincidence, but we know what bad sushi tastes like. This place used to be good so this has been disappointing.
