Nama Sushi Bar & Restaurant — Restaurant in Washington

If you're a sushi lover looking for a great spot to satisfy your cravings in the Mount Vernon area, Nama Sushi Bar & Restaurant is the place to go! I recently visited this restaurant and was blown away by the quality of their food and the reasonable prices.

First off, the sake was fantastic - perfectly chilled and served fresh from the bottle. The miso soup was also a standout dish, with a rich, savory broth that was the perfect starter to my meal.

Next up, the edamame was cooked to perfection - not too soft, not too hard - and seasoned with just the right amount of salt. And the sushi! Wow. The rolls were expertly crafted, with fresh, high-quality fish and perfectly cooked rice. I especially loved the spicy tuna roll.

But what really stood out to me about Nama was the value. With so many sushi restaurants charging exorbitant prices, it was refreshing to find a spot where I could enjoy such great food without breaking the bank.

Overall, I highly recommend Nama Sushi Bar to anyone looking for a delicious, affordable sushi experience. You won't be...

A prime example of first impressions. As soon as we walked in, I could see that the floor was unswept and hadn't been cleaned...in a while. It takes some time for that sort of grime to build up.

The rest (Chef's Selection, crispy shrimp roll, over-dressed Crab and Cucumber salad) were middle of the road- meaning that none of them really "popped," and at that price point, one does expect the flavors to the there. For the price, there are much better options in DC for sushi,...

Small,dark, stuffy, strictly bar, not a restaurant. The menu for sushi is extremely limited. The sushi pieces were very small, and unlike the standard, each nigiri sushi order came in a single piece. Each piece costs between 6 and 10 dollars! The Toro, fatty tuna, was plain tuna, nothing to do with Toro. To make matters worse, when I got the bill, it had a surcharge for " living wages" ! Which I refused to pay. What a cheapskate owner! I was told in confidence that this extra charge is a "known problem," especially since the employees never see the money! The only positive experience was the fact that the waitress was nice. No parking, not kid friendly, no wheelchair accessibility, tiny tables. To me, his place is designed for maximum dollar extraction while offering minimum and bad taste food. A very very...
