This place was awesome. They really take good care of you.
I had an excellent solo dining experience at Nami in Richmond. From the moment I walked in, I felt completely comfortable and welcome. The atmosphere is stylish and upscale without feeling stuffy, and the service was attentive and friendly throughout my meal.
I started with the house ginger salad, which was fresh and had a really flavorful ginger dressing. The takoyaki was another highlight—perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and definitely something I would order again....read full review

Nami Japanese Restaurant offers a variety of delicious and fresh dishes, with particularly noteworthy sushi and sashimi options. The toro fatty tuna and gyoza, either steamed or pan-fried, are standouts. The restaurant has a casual izakaya vibe, with friendly and patient service, although some customers noted that food can take a while to arrive during busy times. Nigiri is traditionally sized and can be eaten in one bite. The hibachi salmon is also recommended, along with their soup.
The restaurant's Omakase dinner, available at the small private sushi bar upstairs, is an exceptional experience. Guests are served the freshest, high-quality fish, prepared by a skilled and experienced chef. The Omakase menu features a variety of items not found on the regular menu, such as mackerel, baby scallop, amberjack, sea bass, shrimp, snow crab, sea bream, fluke, and various tuna varieties, some lightly torched or accented with truffle, wasabi, or sea salt to enhance the flavors. The host and chef are passionate about their craft and excited to share their artistry with diners. This unique sushi experience is a gift for those who love sushi and want something beyond the typical. Recent diners have described the Omakase as a perfect culinary experience, leaving them overjoyed and eager to return. The restaurant is committed to excellent customer service, even going the extra mile to ensure customer satisfaction.
