We had such a wonderful experience tonight! We sat at the sushi bar and had several sashimi selections and several rolls. The fish was so fresh and tender and the Almost Paradise roll was incredible! Gustavo is a master at preparing the rolls - we really enjoyed watching him create his masterpieces and he was happy to interact with us during his preparations. The wait staff were friendly and attentive. We finished our meal with a complimentary truffle ice cream - wow! Delicious. So ch a great time. We highly recommend Nama Ko.

If you are looking for high quality sushi in a modern setting, this is the place for you. The sushi is delicious and the service is always exceptional. This is a great place for a date night but also perfect for family dinners out. We went with our 3 teenage kids who all have different palates so we had everything from sashimi to chicken teriyaki and all were great. highly recommend!

We loved the food and all the flavors. We got the Chefs Special. We told the waiter it was our first time but got very little information. Just tons of food coming all at once. I couldn’t even figure out plates for the food. The waiter didn’t want to give us more plates! But the food was very good…and the sparkling Sake was delicious. Next time we’d know what to expect..:but telling us what to expect would be nice

Tonari exceeded our expectations. We sat in the traditional seating area & I wouldn’t want to sit anywhere else now. Our server was very attentive & friendly. Our drinks & food were served very quickly, which we appreciated because we were dining before seeing a show across the street. The food was absolutely amazing & we will definitely return!
