Susanne UhligJune 24, 2016Great restaurant if you love fish! Try the ice cream - delicious. Best server is Matt, ask for him!- Lauren BatesMay 27, 2018Decent appetizer sampler if you like fried goodies. The triple sea roll is good, as are the piña roll and Atlantic roll. If you saved room for dessert, get the chocolate truffles.
TheNonPerfectMom.com SabrinaMarch 23, 2018Tempura Roll is yummy!!! Half price on Thursdays. Hearty Crunchy and warm. Great Roll for beginner sushi eaters. Melts in your mouth 👍
- TheNonPerfectMom.com SabrinaMarch 23, 2018Salmon Skin Roll- Hard to Chew & Swallow. Have a napkin handy. If you like fishy tasting pork rinds wrapped in seaweed then look no further. 🤢🤮
- TheNonPerfectMom.com SabrinaMarch 23, 2018Not crazy about the crazy tuna roll. Light but fishy. Not a fan of the avocado on top but the quality of the albacore topping is top notch.
- TheNonPerfectMom.com SabrinaMarch 23, 2018Spring Rolls- not a fan. Rain Thai Bistro in Chattanooga still takes the gold Home for this menu item. Filling is mushy and sticky.
Ashley GrimleyJanuary 25, 2015Get the soy joy and the sake infused winter warmer...bartender is awesome great service 👍
Sunday specials: Happy Hour 4-6, 1/2 price house sake carafes & house bottles of wine all day, kids eat free, $3 mimosas and $4.50 bloody marys, plus the hot menu is served all day!- There are specials almost every day! 1/2 price rolls Mon & Thursday, 1/2 price apps & drafts on Wed, 1/2 price bottles of wine Tues, and Happy Hour 4-6pm everyday!
Bryant ThomasApril 11, 2015Typical, overly sauced American sushi - but good nonetheless. I would be nice for them to pay a bit more attention to their rice to elevate the bite without having to rely on sauces.
- Go on a Monday or Thursday night for half price sushi. The lunch special is also a great deal.
Cori KunbergerMarch 18, 2011Try the JG Roll. The combination of the seared tuna with the crab and panko whitefish is the perfect balance between creamy and crispy.
Get the shrimp & crab dip - it comes with naan and is so good. I have a hard time NOT getting the shrimp & crab dip.
ScarlettAugust 9, 2012Seriously...the best sushi I've had outside of Nobu in San Diego. That is impressive! :)
DesireeFebruary 28, 2012The tempura roll and pizza roll were my favorites. Bonito flakes on the pizza roll were awesome!- The Atlantic roll is phenomenal and soy joy is a very close second!
Tip your servers they work very hard to deal with your needs and they have to clean up after your mess. Treat them well.
Madison BushellDecember 6, 2011Mondays & Thursdays are half-price nights! And $4 glasses of house wine. Get there early or expect to wait. Read more
Donna DJanuary 24, 2010Order the eel!! It was fantastic! The Spicy Shrimp roll was good (per Shaun) and I can't wait to come back! Let me know if you make it, I will be jealous!!
Jasmine DavisJanuary 4, 2011Loved the cucumber maki roll (and for a great price!) and the wasabi hummus appetizer is excellent!
Scott StudhamMay 6, 2011If you go on half price night don't be hungry and in a hurry. New rule that you can only get one roll at a time.
John PontiffNovember 22, 2013If you're a sushi purist, I'd suggest going somewhere else. Traditional sushi is better and a lot cheaper elsewhere. That being said, if you like crazy combinations then you're in the right place.
First time Nama goers should try the Ex- Girlfriend. You will NOT be disappointed. :-)
Sit at the sushi bar, especially if Brock is working! Ask for his chef's special roll!
1/2 price sushi on Mon and Thurs. Get the Pizza Roll, and you will never see sushi the same way again.
Order Soy Joy! It's not always on the menu, but it's the best roll at Nama.
Steph SchneiderFebruary 4, 2017I just wouldn't recommend it. It's fine, but go to shuck next door, it's better.
