Nami Modern Korean Steakhouse

My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful meal at Nami. Our waiter Will was excellent. We do not get to Louisville very often so we order lots of things to try at our possibly one time at Chef Lee’s place. It was all so good we ate every bite. The crispy chicken dumplings reminded me of the ones I got as street food in Korea. Perfect memory. We also had the zucchini mandus, the tuna tartar (gochujang butter!!!) , a tuna hand roll (YUM) and the skirt steak bbq entree with gochujang and the puff pastry dessert. It was all lovely. Bravo.

Great experience, food was SO GOOD. For the kbbq, you can choose to cook it yourself at the table or opt to have the kitchen cook some or all of it which is nice, especially for some of the nicer cuts of meats. Everything was really good, but the standouts for me were all of the kimbap rolls, the pork belly, and the duck breast. The shrimp mandu was really good too, just be ready for a little extra spice! Also, make sure to save some room for dessert, they are must-try! The sunset bingsu and the pineapple mochi are amazing

Went on 10/16/2024 for an exclusive Forage and Game Omakase, have been meaning to go here for awhile and finally did, it was great. Kicking myself for not going earlier. Service was amazing, front of house was very attentive, I watched them watch the room as they multi-tasked. Constantly topping off my water, wine and taking my plates quickly. For a Wednesday night it was a very lively place. I will also mention, their bathrooms are pretty clean! Can't wait to go back!

Great, high end Korean food. We’ve eaten at many Korean restaurants and this one consistently delivers thoughtful, flavorful, and inventive spine on Korean classics.

The food here was perfect. You could tell the menu was curated to offer range and a ton of flavor in everything. Absolutely don’t sleep on the garlic chili oil- I covered everything in it.

Nice Korean food but some dishes are a bit Americanized. So, If you have never tried korean food before, or if you are not familiar with korean food at all, then this place is a good start/introduction.
But As a person who have tried several traditional/authentic korean restaurants before, I prefer the traditional/authentic way (more flavorful and more affordable price).
The korean savory vegetables pan cake is good, crispy.
The Ttoekbokki is really good it has some twist like putting mushroom and abit of pickled daikon.
The pork belly is too thin and dry.
The “Kimbap” tastes good, and has beautiful presentation, but it looks more like the Japanese Temaki Sushi, rather than the traditional Kimbap.
Good portion but Still Quite pricey.
Very Nice ambience and Good service. Our waiter is Jay. He is very friendly, polite, nice and attentive.
Street parking.

Vegetarian options: Few dishes are vegetarian.

Absolutely fabulous restaurant! Chef Edward Lee should have absolutely won Culinary Class Wars! Well done ? Hopefully I'll have him sign "Bourbon Land" someday.

The best chef in the whole wide world, Edward Lee!

My wife and I visited last night and had a wonderful meal. Erin was our server and she started out by explaining the menu in detail. We had a few ideas of what we wanted to order but went ahead and took their suggestions and we did not regret it. The Shrimp Mandu was great with the crunchy chili oil and for entrees we got the pork belly and a ribeye. The pork belly was crunchy and the ribeye was cooked perfectly.
Our service was prompt and professional and we will definitely be back.
