Nami Sushi - Calgary

I am surprised by the low ratings this place has received as my friends and I really enjoyed this place. The sashimi platters are done so carefully and with such attention to detail that you cannot help but take a photo. The quality was definitely above average (though it is still not our favorite in the city). The service was great even though we had a group of 7 with many dishes split in very confusing ways. They had no problem splitting the bill for us in the end. I will definitely be back to try other dishes since my friend just moved right next to it!

This restaurant is a hidden gem with affordable prices. The customer service is excellent, and the sashimi is delicious! I highly recommend trying the volcano roll and yam fries if you're not watching your diet. The staff is always welcoming and remembers you, which I appreciate. This place is perfect for a quick meal or takeout.

The owner of Nami's has previous experience working at the renowned Miku sushi restaurant in Vancouver, and you can see the influence in their dishes. The box pressed sushi is particularly delicious, and I highly recommend trying the spicy tuna or salmon sashimi as well as the Calgary Flames roll.

Ordered thru skip the dishes and the assorted sashimi was thick and fresh. The yam tempura was nice and crispy. I thought the spicy roll combo was disappointing and will not get again. The salmon filling was a bit mushy and was not pieces of sliced salmon as we are usually get at other restaurants. We ended up throwing out half of order. Will be willing to try checking out the actual restaurant and trying other items next time.

Sushi on a whim after eating pretty unhealthily during this Cowtown trip, we went on google and found what was closest with the highest rating. Which brings us to Nami Sushi and Grill. Beautiful Sunny afternoon led us to the patio in this quiet restaurant off 17th Ave. Basically empty aside from just one other table on the patio occupied. Decorated with Just Eat stickers and restless wait staff standing around, the impression and expectations for the rest of this sushi trip was set. Generic and lengthy menu with overly pushy staff that seemed a little too quick to rush us out. Food was decent, prices were fair; but overall, meh. Service didn’t cut it for me and I’m sure there are better places around the area for a more memorable sushi experience. <br/ <br/ Assorted Sashimi $26.95) 4/5 15 pieces of 5 different kinds, which came out to be salmon, tuna, octopus, and amberjack. Presentation was beautiful, slices were thick and big. I guess you’re getting the bang for your buck with this order. Tasted fresh and decent not totally melt in your mouth fresh or anything but curbed our hunger and sushi pains. <br/ <br/ Salmon Battera $10.50) ⅘ My love for pressed sushi in unreal. Seeing this on the menu made me ecstatic. Torched salmon with avocado and a nice savory creamy glaze on the top. This was so satisfying, my favorite of the dining experience.
