I think I found my new happy hour sushi spot. The server was attentive and friendly. I sampled 4 rolls and really enjoyed the Crazy Roll and the Vegas Roll the most. If you're lining for good quality sushi at a great price, check it out!

Overall just a little lacking
Prices are good for quantity - but maybe scale back the quantity a smidge and focus on quality. They have some unique items. Variety of food. Nothing was bad- just nothing was great.
We came in at 230pm and it was a ghost town. We thought it was closed at first.
The floor was entirely dirty. Tables clean but very obviously quickly wiped- you could see sticky patches.
Service was good, some moments they did take a while. What threw my appetite off - one of the workers was very obviously sick and could be heard coughing multiple times. I don’t want that around my food. We sat in awkward silence the first 20 minutes until they figured out the radio. It’s dark inside- so it really felt like the last five minutes of lunch before they let you out for recess in primary/middle school.
The decor is nice. Restrooms are clean. The water is tap.

We went out to dinner and noticed dirty dishes and dirty water residue on dishes. Shortly after, we all experienced diarrhea, and I also vomited everything I had eaten. Serving seafood requires great care, as improper handling can be dangerous.

Their sushi chefs are top-notch! The monkey brains appetizer was also delicious.

The service was great! The food was good. The restaurant and tables need help. It's dark, the tables are wobbly and it feels questionably clean. The happy hour pricing was nice.

Nakamas is our family go to for great food and excellent customer service.

First time visiting this place. Service was good. The sashimi plating wasn’t appealing & pieces were small. The fish tasted fine. However, the presentation is a crucial element of sushi, both in traditional Japanese sushi & even here in the Valley. It enhances the dining experience; it creates a more enjoyable experience.

My wife and I dine her every Wednesday. It's happy hour from 3 to 6PM EVERYDAY. We get shrimp tempura, 4 orders with 4 shrimp per order for $5 each. It's absolutely fabulous. Then we get veggies tempura. 10 pieces including onions, mushrooms, green, red and yellow peppers With Zucchini also. All for $6. It's a must see and experience for EVERYONE. The tempura is light and delicious. GO HERE. YOU WONT VE DISAPPOINTED.

Nakama is my go to sushi place. The staff is wonderful and the food is delicious.

Showed up on Sunday at 7pm and hostess informed us that they were not accepting any new customers as they were an 1 hour behind in service even though their website claims to be open until 8pm. This is a terrible business model and the management should be ashamed.

I called in an order 4 hours before pickup and they had no record of the called in order. And this isn’t the first time … last time we were dining in and waited over 1 hour just for appetizers and drinks .. had to cancel the rest of the meal. This use to be one of my favorite places … now I would not recommend this place if you want a good and organize meal.

The service was alright, but it seemed empty. The kitchen was pungent, and smelled vaguely of rotten fish. It took nearly 30 minutes for 3 rolls, and most of it didn’t seem like it was meant to be cooked. Or maybe it was, either way, it wasn’t pleasant. Almost immediately after eating, I felt sick. I ended up finishing my roll out of peer pressure I guess, or hoping I wouldn’t offend the workers too much. Honestly, we should’ve just gone to our usual sushi place. Won’t be returning, questioning the safety of the food.
