I popped into Nama for the first time last week around 12
I popped into Nama for the first time last week around 12 noon to grab a quick bite and sat at the bar. Super friendly and fun bartender took my order. A regular customer and another first-timer showed up and also sat at the bar. Had the best time chatting with the other two women. I ordered a bourbon cocktail, 2 pcs of eel sushi, two rolls off the lunch menu (which came with miso soup and a salad!) and tasted a bite of sushi ceviche which was offered up by my new friend sitting next to me at the bar (she literally insisted I try the ceviche and it was amazing). The fish is very fresh with no "fishy" taste or smell. The lunch specials are a pretty good deal. My total bill was about $50. Great variety of wines and beer. Interesting note on the cocktail menu there is a "bartender's choice" which is whatever cocktail the bartender chooses to make for you. It's like a grab bag for alcohol. Looking forward to my next visit to Nama to try that ceviche dish again.
Be the first to ReplyCame out for a concert and had a craving for mochi.
I had been here before, and it was awesome. Decided to stop by the bar and have a drink. Was a bit upset to find out the mochi was discontinued. Now it looks like the only place left is the insanely busy ice cream place across the road. It's a bummer, but I still think this is a great place to unwind and have some sushi or a cocktail.

Food was cold and when asked for a remake, my food came back the same but warmed up and burnt. The wait to be remade was 20 minutes. Spoke to the manager and they were not able to fix the situation in an according manner. The waiter then proceeded to be rude to my party after we explained that we know the problem is not with her. This establishment needs improve in all areas.

Given the prices you would expect top tier food but it was very underwhelming. Sushi was falling apart, sampler plate was very mid. I do not recommend if you like or are used to good sushi.

Went there Friday 02/16/2024 My significant other and I Got food poisoning!! We both got cooked sushi so we couldn't believe it. It was an awaful 12 hours of us just getting sick. It took us almost all day Saturday to rest , and rehydrate. I've ate there before but now I definitely won't be going back after my experience! Disappointed in the quality of food they serve.

Best Sushi I've ever had! The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable! The drinks were amazing! We are already planning on going back the next time we are in town.

I don't know WHAT has happened but we ate there on Friday December 8th 2023 and it was so bad...so bland and just plain old nasty. We had 2 sushi rolls and one sesame beef. none of it had any flavors or appeal. I was shocked and so were my guests. I hate saying this but we were grossed out. servers were eating food behind the bar with their bare hands. I thought good lord if food inspectors walked in right now this place would be shut down.

I went on a Monday for the select half-off menu, which is also offered on Thursday, but with different selections. The quality of fish is the best you would expect considering we are this far inland. Seaweed salad and house salad are always a great addition, also crab dip if it's a cheat day . The rice never seems to be cooked right, regardless of the item of which I order. Nama's rice ends up being more like oatmeal, from my experience, that's why it's not a 5* review. Juan 's music selection was on point, loved the vibes. Emily was the right amount of attentive, not in your face and never felt like Emily forgot about the table,
Be the first to Replythe food was really good.
a little overpriced for the serving amount though. the service was really slow it took forever for the waitress to even ask about drinks and even longer for the bill. she also was not very friendly:(
Be the first to ReplyA wonderful atmosphere when you walk in.
Service was immediately given and our drinks were at our table in less than 5 minutes. We ordered the Chef's Choice Sushi Platter, and it was delicious! Got to try some things I've never had. 4 stars were given because there wasn't a public bathroom. So be sure to go to the bathroom before you arrive.
Be the first to ReplyGreat service for being packed on the parade night.
The Dragon roll and Garden roll and Chefs choice was all really good.

We went on a Monday when sushi was half priced, and it was soooo good. Love love love. Our waitress was so friendly, and the place just had a really nice vibe!!
Be the first to ReplyWe come here every time we are in Knoxville.
The rolls are fresh and delish! Leave room for dessert. The peanut butter pretzel cheesecake is amazing.

The ex-girlfriend roll was so flavorful and absolutely delicious!! Nice place with bar seating in addition to main room seating. Servers are great!!
Be the first to ReplyThe place was wonderful.
I had to go twice just to prove it wasn't a dream. They had great service, even when they were busy.We were seated immediately both times we went.The servers we had gave us great recommendations and got our orders in quickly. Their positivity made the atmosphere enjoyable and relaxing. They embodied everything you expect when going out for a nice lunch.Food did not fall short either. My favorite was the "BB Roll" which had shrimp and crab in it, sprinkled with some flakes of crunch that really encompassed the whole experience of the dish. We also ordered the Edamame, our usual appetizer, which was also very delicious! The flavors were well defined in everything we had.This restaurant is well worth your time. They will have your order hot, ready, and efficiently.

We stopped in for a quick lunch and we're not disappointed! The sushi was fresh and our server was kind enough to bring out several different side sauces to try and provided different recommendations on the menu. All in all we would definitely revisit this spot!
Be the first to ReplyAsk for John to prepare a Chef Choice Platter.
Various sizes. My wife and I usually have the $60.

We came back to this location for the first time in a very long time after a broadway show to try it again. I'd go with a solid 3.75/5 rating overall. The host attempted to put us at a table right by the door...but we asked for another spot. It was a very awkward spot that would continually get the cold draft from outside as the door opened and closed. The whole experience to get this done took too long to simply just fix it and find another spot (there were 5-6 that we could see open). Beyond that, all the food came out cooked and to temperature - our waiter was quite nice as well. The dessert was definitely the highlight, with the sushi coming in runner up. Will probably be back for the sushi and dessert for lunch sometime, but that may be it.
Be the first to ReplyI had a great experience here the first time I ate here
I had a great experience here the first time I ate here with gluten free sushi but they are super careless with allergies and how they train their staff about it. I placed a to go order confirming twice over the phone that I needed it to be gluten free. The rolls I ordered are labeled that they can be modified gluten free on the menu. She confirmed that I should get brown rice and I got gluten free soy sauce when I was there to pick it up. All the rolls had tempura shrimp in them which is not gluten free. They did refund me for my order but as someone who has an actual allergy, I would expect more attention to detail when taking an order to make sure people aren't getting sick. If you order gluten free here be SUPER careful and triple confirm.

This place looks really good on the inside and service was on point. Sushi wasn't bad if the sauce they put on top wasn't extremely salty. Pointed this out to our server and she let the kitchen know. I wasn't looking for a discount but paid full price either way. Its a one and done kind of place for me since I was traveling through town.
Be the first to ReplyThis is getting a one for the service my husband and I
This is getting a one for the service my husband and I receive here this evening 6/10/22.. we were sat at our table and took a server 30 minutes for someone to even serve us , after finally coming to us we put our order in and this took another hour.. this is beyond ridiculous .. as we saw all the servers go around us to serve other customers , before we were taken care. We literally could have walked out without paying , but we weren't raised that way . The food was good, the service made us not even want to come back .. do better Knoxville ! Chefs Special
Be the first to ReplyDon't get the flavored sake.
It tastes like juice, so just stick to the non-infused sake. The edamame has two options - salted (boring!) or with the sesame vinaigrette which isn't a great pairing. The Bowl comes with the same sesame sauce as the edamame which seemed like an odd pairing for both dishes. The sauce overrides all the other flavors in the bowl. Not the place for a noodle dish or edamame. My husband and I split the pizza roll, crunchy shrimp, and Cali roll. They weren't rolled tightly and kept falling apart. They used imitation crab. The pizza roll was drenched in a sauce that made all the ingredients in the roll obsolete. The crunchy shrimp was just lacking in any real flavor. I would expect this from gas station sushi, but not from a place that touts itself as "consistently voted the best sushi in Knoxville." I know none of these rolls are exciting, but if you can't make these simple ones appetizing then I'm not sure how the specialty rolls could be much better.
Be the first to ReplyWell not the best experience.
Maybe we got the trainee sushi chef but our rolls were small in size, fish was sparse, rice was bland, but the meal was expensive. My wife said Never Again.
