Great omakase experience! We will definitely be back for special occasions! The chef explained each course really well, and we were met with flavors that were delicious and well balanced! It's always fun to watch the chef make each piece too! We had an additional server who was responsible for drinks and clean up, which made the whole process really smooth. The fish was also really fresh. The best quality sushi I've had in RI so far. There were also some types of fish I had never had before (even though I've done omakase in many places before), so it was great to have new experiences! You have to be willing to try any dish at an omakase experience! We also tried a few cocktails, which were delicious too! Nami was also very flexible with my reservation scheduling which I really appreciate. My husband and I had an unexpected free night the night before we were scheduled to attend the omakase experience, so we were really thankful they let us shift it up a night. Only downside is that the omakase experience is a little pricey, as expected. I will definitely reserve this for special occasions and for guests in town! Excited to return to try their normal menu too!

Got here for an early dinner. Booth seatings next to the big tv for Sunday football was great. Came for sushi and sashimi mainly. First off, the green tea that they served was wonderful. Individual pot filled with loose green teas and roasted rice, and can be refilled! Love the strong tea flavor. Friendly chilled vibes here! The server was very nice. We had the omakasa platter to share and two other rolls and Ikura nigiri and toro sashimi. Omakasa platter: Nami maki was ok, too much sauce that was a bit overpowering. Spicy salmon was ok... I prefer the salmon not to be minced. Surprisingly, they gave you real crab meat in the selection. That was pretty nice. Fatty salmon nigiri was tasty! They have good oily texture and they were thick cut!! Yellowtail didn't have much taste to them here... Also I think the sashimi and fish pieces should be cooler temp. They tasted room temp which I thought was pretty weird. Scallop sashimi was the best tonight!!! Toro sashimi was only Chu toro not the fattest kind!!! Bummer! Yellowtail scallion maki was awesome! Chunky pieces of hamachi and the seaweed was crispy and fresh! Bathrooms are super clean! And the bar has tons of seatings! Also hibachi sections on the other side of the bar and sushi dining side. The place is great to host big group dinner/ celebrations/ parties! Overall the sushi and sashimi tasting experience was between B to B+.

Me and my fiance went to Nami this last weekend for the first time cause our friends kept telling us we just had to try their sushi! Best sushi in RI that I've tried thus far! We could taste the freshness in every piece on our sushi for 2 entree we ordered to share. We also got the hibachi salmon and chicken combo which was amazinggg the service at the bar was great as well and very entertaining lol. Overall, we had great food, great service and great conversation in a much more chill and reserved vibe for federal hill! Even the owner Wendy was very friendly and engaged with all the guests at the bar! I think we just found our new weekend spot

Great sushi. Beautiful setting. Excellent, fresh sushi. Excellent specials and great Appetizers. Nice spot to bring a work group or friends for a special occasion.

I made reservations for 7 PM on a Friday night for the Omakese (I leave it up to you the chef) Experience. We were brought to the sushi table where there were 8 seats set up around the chef. Our chef's station was a total party of seven who reserved the Omakese experience for the night. Most of the chef's choices were imported from Japan and some were from Hawaii. 1st - the squid, which was very tasty, popped in your mouth when you ate it. 2nd - Monkfish liver pate. I was a little scared at first, not going to lie, but it was great. 3rd - amazing piece of tuna with some truffle on top. Amazing! 2nd favorite 4th - Mackerel, which is usually fishy tasting, but wasn't with the garnish. 5th - Charred Japanese diver scallop. Amazing! 6th - Shrimp...delicious! 7th - Yellowfin Tuna...Very good! 8th - Charred Salmon Belly...the absolute best (melted in your mouth). 9th - Japanese Red Snapper...Very good! Touch of citrus. 10th - Uni (my least favorite) texture and flavor wasn't for me. 11th - Kobe beef with Uni....Fantastic!!!.. the Uni was fine with this pairing. 12th- Tuna with gold and caviar, tie for 3rd favorite 13th - Smoked Salmon (smoked from a cocktail smoker) Amazing! 3rd favorite. 14th - a hand wrap...very good 15th - Homemade Miso soup with clams 16th- Cheese cake, imported from Japan! Definitely worth the $100 per person for the experience...can't wait to go again!

I'm originally from Boston but have heard a few good reviews about this place in RI so I had to try it out. The day we came without a reservation, we were told it would take a week in advance to book an omakase; so definitely keep that in mind. An omakase with 16 courses ranging around $100 each is almost unheard of. The price did not effect the quality of the food either. Attached are some pictures if my favorite dishes. I'm not sure if the courses are set already but everything I had was delicious, fresh, and flavorful. The cocktails were alright and the sake selection could have more of a variety but the food made up for all of that. I forgot our server's name but he was attentive throughout the whole dinner. The chef was interactive and focused as well. Definitely recommend!

I visited Nami last night for a late-night dinner. The first thing I noticed was that the restaurant was dimly lit, and it had a super cozy vibe for a dinner date or small group outing. My boyfriend and I shared the Nami bowl for two for a drink, we almost didn't finish because the bowl was huge. We shared the Sashimi Mini Sampler, the Evil Angel, and the Samurai roll. The sampler was okay, I really only liked the salmon, which was super fresh. I really liked the Samurai roll, which is spicy scallop and avocado with yellowtail and jalapeno. We also ordered the Shrimp Hibachi with fried rice as well. The Hibachi was really good, should have asked for some yum yum sauce on the side. However, I wish it would've came with a noodle option instead of fried rice. I honestly really enjoyed my experience at Nami. Our server was really nice and patient. Parking is in the back. Everything we had was good. I will be updating with my Omakase experience!

A friend from Chicago explained to me about an omakase dining experience [omakase (Japanese: お任せ, Hepburn: o-makase) is a Japanese phrase, used when ordering food in restaurants, that means 'I'll leave it up to you' (from Japanese 'to entrust' (任せる, makaseru))]. I always wanted to try it but I didn't know of any restaurants in Rhode Island that offered this dining experience. Someone recommended checking out Nami on Federal Hill. $100 per person, 16-course tasting menu, reservations required. DONE & DONE! I booked it for our anniversary dinner. I would say this is not a traditional omakase since it was us plus seven delightful eye doctors & the menu was preordained, not specifically curated for us. 16 Courses: - Kampachi sashimi - Tako with edamame - Akami - King salmon - Scallop with tobiko - Botan ebi with citrus masago - Saba with a rice paper topper - Seared salmon belly - Ainame topped with torched foie gras - Uni uramaki - Seared wagyu topped with uni - Toro with tobiko & 14 carat gold flakes - Smoked salmon topped with ikura - Tuna hand roll - log version - Miso soup (at the end of the meal to aid in digestion) - Yuzu cheesecake So fun! So delicious! So adventurous! I would totally do it again!

I've come here a few times tonight came with some friends from work that had never been. If you got hibachi and I got two sushi rolls. The sunset roll and crazy lover. The sushi is amazing very fresh. Hibachi was good. Everybody was very happy with their meals. I really love the fried rice here. It is so fresh and light.

Came here on a Friday evening and there were only a few tables taken. We were seated quickly and the staff were very friendly. The restaurant looks very modern and spacious. We ordered the Nami Bowl for two. This has white rum, coconut rum, melon liqueur, blue curacao, orange juice, and pineapple juice. It was really good and it was a huge bowl. We started with the Harumaki which is fried shrimp spring roll filled with cabbage, shitake mushrooms, and wood ear mushrooms. Served with chili garlic sauce on the side. This was okay, not sure about ordering it again. I ordered the Sunshine dreamer which is shrimp tempura and avocado, topped with lobster salad and spicy mayonnaise. I thought this was very good sushi and maybe the best I've had in Providence thus far. All the ingredients were very fresh and prepared very well. I would definitely come back again and try other dishes.
