Nama Sushi Bar

Nama was the first place I took my my girlfriend before moving to Nashville, fast forward I took her here on the day we got married and ther server made our day so special. Thank you so much for continued quality service!

My date and I had an Outstanding experience at Nama!! The sushi was fresh and incredibly well prepared and the Hot Nama entrees that we tried like the Asian BBQ Salmon and Sesame Beef were incredible too. The service was spot on and the atmosphere has a great vibe. No doubt this is our favorite place for sushi and Asian food in Nashville.

A cute and quiet little place for a date night or a spot to get your gals night started. The drinks are fun and the staff is friendly with recommendations. The rolls are tasty, I just wish I could’ve ordered more. I would recommend ordering a variety of rolls and sharing. 🍣

Good food at good price. Not so sure about the service.

Amazing food, good service. A great atmosphere and trendy spot.

Great deals, friendly waiters-good spot!

Best sushi for the buck in Nashville. Happy hour until 11pm. Sushi fresh and very unique. Get the chef special if you like Devine sushi

Love the happy hour specials! Wish they provided more sushi with take out orders. Not the same quality/quantity as sit-down

Decent sushi but nothing exceptional considering the price. There are several sushi restaurants in town that offer equivalent fare for a lower price.

Solid sushi at a nice place. The half-price rolls are very much worth it, especially since Nama is on the Commodore Card. Service is polite.

It was our first time & not only was the wait staff helpful, they were amazing. Our server gave amazing suggestions & we devoured every bit of it. They had complimentary valet & that was helpful as well!

Really loved the sushi. Definitely a large menu to choose from. Their sauces are a must order. A very nice and chic place to hang out with friends.

Everything about Nama was wonderful: Drinks, service, dinner! We sampled several different things from the menu and everything was amazing. The tempura was a lite as my grandmother made...and my family is Japanese! Ill be visiting everytime I'm in town.

Food was good, great happy hour prices on some sushi rolls. Service was a bit slow but we weren't in a hurry.

Haley was our server last night and someone needs to give her a HUGE raise!! She was incredibly attentive, polite and knowledgeable about the menu and suggestions...loved the Rainbow Roll and Mowie Wowie! The spicy calamari was delish!! Good ambiance and great date place for us!! 👍👍

I launched a meetup group this year and hosted my first mixer here last night. They had a sign with my group’s name on it. Were very friendly and attentive to us. The servers were very helpful and engaged in light conversation with my attendees. The managers went out of their way to ensure it was a pleasurable experience which was impressive considering we came on one of their busiest happy hour nights. I’m very pleased with the food, beverages, and service we received!

Sushi and sake were delicious! They also have happy hour specials that you don't want to miss.

The food was good.

Decent rolls. Strong drinks.

Always amazing. Wonderful people, wonderful food.

We came here twice during our stay nearby & had the pork potstickers & a sushi roll with specialty cocktails blueberry something & another cucumber something, I believe?? Lol So good!

Loved the food and ambience. For anyone who doesnt like sushi or would like to try for the first time, they must start with this restaurant. So many options and good service!

This is a highly rated and expensive restaurant because of the atmosphere, across from Vanderbilt University, the vibe, and the incredible service. I agree with all of those. The reason for my 3 star review is as follows: parking is horrible and very inconvenient, especially during peak times. It took way to long (40 min) to receive my food, even though I was sitting at the sushi bar. Typically high end sushi restaurants at least give you a portion of your food if you’re sitting at the bar/ even if it’s just one order of nigiri. The piece is a little too high given the mid level quality of the fish. Lastly, I order “chef’s choice” and it was good, but definitely not great as far as quality. Beautiful presentation, but freshness and flavor were only “ok”

Great food. Some unique items on menu, as well as all your favorites! Must try in Vandy area.

Upscale sushi restaurant with upscale prices. Beautiful presentation. Expected well dressed clientele on a Friday night; however most were college students in sweats.

Had a great meal here. Food was expertly prepared and presentation was awesome as well. A bit slow to get seated but worth the wait.

The food here is super delicious. However, be prepared to spend 20-50 dollars per person because the food here is not cheap.In my opinion it was completely worth it though, the sushi is both tasty and well presented.I also had the sesame beef and I'll say its actually hard to describe how it tastes because there's no normal food that tastes similar to it. I mean it tastes like beef, but super tasty. Definitely worth it if you have around 20 bucks to spare.Another time I went I tried the chef's choice sushi rolls. It's listed as 32 dollars, but with tax and reasonable tip it's 40+ dollars, which is a lot for a single order, but you get a custom made sushi roll which you can watch being made if you sit at the sushi bar. You can choose what you want if you'd like, which I did and it turned out incredibly well, so it was money well spent in my opinion.

Sushi is great here, but the service hasn't been great the last few times we've been. We waited about 1.5hours until out food came out, and about 35mins for our drinks (hot green tea) to come out. When they did, they were barely warm. We were so disappointed as we had special guests in our party. They were kind enough to understand that it wasn't our fault but was very disappointing (and hungry). I've gone to this restaurant more than 10 times and has always been great except from the last few times.

The sushi is ok. The edamame mixed green salad was very good. I added seaweed salad on top.

This is a very nice restaurant (with good food!) but we had some issues with our order at the Elliston location.I left a review and contacted the store with our concerns and they were very helpful and responsive with some of the issues that I brought up. I appreciate their customer service and willingness to make things right!

Great food! Portion sizes are huge. A must go to for sushi lovers

This place was amazing and the service was awesome. Everyone lived their dish and if we lived closer we would be there all the time. Seriously... it was amazing!

Really enjoyed the cocktails and sushi. Huge space with an upstairs dining area, patio, and nice bar with TV's. Service was good and they ran some happy hour specials.
