My first visit really blew me away! I've eaten at a lot of Japanese restaurants and Nami really made a stellar first impression.
Their teriyaki is delicious, with the best teriyaki sauce I've ever tasted. However, getting it spicy actively detracts from that quality. It's still good but definitely not worth the $2 upcharge!
The sushi is good, we tried the avocado roll and it's very good, as well as generously portioned. The same can be said of the dinner bentos, also very generously sized.
Beer of the Japanese variety, as well as sake and I believe wine, are available to drink alongside sodas and the like. Sapporo, as always, goes great with teriyaki.

Read moreMoved to Lynden a couple of months ago and have been here a few times and I think tonight was my last visit. The fish quality is average at best and had to send the hamachi back.

Read moreI will not be returning to this restaurant. I don't write reviews, but I have to with this one. 1.) One of our orders was "dropped" behind something which cause a delay, in which we had to inquire why the order wasn't up and then they told us why (20mins.) When our other orders came, they asked then if we still wanted the order that was "dropped" and than we had to wait another 20mins... 2.) I had to asked the waiter numinous times to get our ginger and wasabi. 3.) my CCard was charged incorrectly for no reason what so ever. 4.) I even placed an order to go for my wife and I didn't get part of the meal. So, no i will not be going back. Just watch your CCard statement if your CCard gets charged...
