“What do I recommend? Everything! So many options, each one with a distinct flavor. Love the small atmosphere. Feels like an event without being chaotic or overwhelming. It doesn’t get much better than this.“

“Seriously the best service, incredibly quick while still making delicious food and the staff is beyond friendly! We frequently go in to get white rice for the kiddo before speech and the staff is always beyond sweet to him and always friendly and helpful! Plus the prices are great for the portions so definitely a must try 🥰“

“It was so warm and friendly when we came in, the servers were very friendly and helpful when we said it was our first time there. Sitting at the back bar, you get a great view of the cooks making your ramen. The food was amazing, I got Shoyu ramen and my partner got the Bacon Ramen and both were delicious. They portions are large and I ate my fill and had left overs to take home for later. Will be adding them to the rotation of restaurants when we go to Toledo for dinner.“

“We tried this place that REALLY should be acknowledged as a hidden/rare gem. We were the first ones that arrived for service and we were served by Missy, who was so courteous, gentle and knowledgeable! She gave us a very detailed explanation of the dishes and we ended up trying the beef Mandu (sorry, no picture, it was so good!) as well as the Bibimbap Bulgogi. The music is nice and the place is cozy, make yourself a favor and give them a try!“

“Celebrating a birthday..a room was reserved. The waitress Elise was exceptional, however the food was an acquired taste. I loved the soup. The salad dressing 🤔..didn't care for it. And when it came to the hibachi food (shrimp)and sauces. I can't quite put into words about the flavor, but what I don't care for someone else might like. Considering the cost, I just expected a flavor above the basic. Above all, I enjoyed myself.“

“I came here to have a quick lunch and I really enjoyed my time. They have wonderful lunch specials from 11 to $14 and you get soup and the appetizer and an entree of your choice.

It really hit the spot. My service was good. It wasn't very busy and parking was in and out.“

“My lobster rolls were super yummy! I also had help from a very knowledgeable young lady working there who helped with the variety of beverages they have. Bonus is that I had a $9 reward and didn’t even know it until checkout lol.“

“Best sushi in Toledo. Menu changes often so there’s always something new but they do keep our favorites on the menu. A great dining experience.“

“Love love love this place. From the nice staff to the delicious food. Everything is always so fresh. We come here often from Michigan and always make it a point to stop for lunch. Prices are very good too! Keep it up!!“

“The food and portions were amazing!!“

“As a vegan, I was happy to find that Nakama – Teriyaki & Sushi offers several plant-based choices, making it a convenient option when dining with friends or family who have different dietary preferences. The Veggie & Tofu Bento is a satisfying meal with well-seasoned tofu, fresh vegetables, and your choice of rice or noodles. They also offer a Veggie Roll, vegetable spring rolls, edamame, seaweed salad, vegetable tempura, miso soup, and other vegetable-based options, giving vegans more variety than many traditional sushi restaurants. The menu clearly includes vegetarian-friendly dishes, and it's worth asking the staff about ingredients or requesting modifications to ensure your meal is fully vegan, especially regarding sauces and broth. Vegan options are also noted by vegan dining guides. The restaurant has a clean, casual atmosphere that's great for a quick lunch or takeout. Service is friendly, and orders are prepared quickly. If you're looking for a simple, affordable Japanese restaurant with dependable vegan options in the Toledo area, Nakama is definitely worth a visit. Vegan favorites: Veggie & Tofu Bento Veggie Roll Edamame Seaweed Salad Vegetable Spring Rolls Vegetable Tempura (confirm batter ingredients if strictly vegan) I'll definitely be back to explore more of their vegetable sushi and tofu dishes.“

“The staff is absolutely incredible. The kindest people on the planet. Our waitress even brought a poetry book to our table that she translates to English herself so that customers can read it. She also wrote down our names in Korean so we could see what the letters looked like! The food was also incredible beyond any sushi I've had anywhere else. The kitchen was backed up and they kept apologizing, but we didn't mind. They gave us free soup so that we weren't hungry while we waited which was not necessary at all but so sweet and greatly appreciated!“
