Nakama Sushi

Arrived before our showing to the ballet, the staff was extremely thoughtful with our time, asking for our curtain time in order to bring out the Omakase without delay. We had a delightful series of courses but unfortunately had to run to our show before dessert. Shout-out to Ben who went above and beyond in hosting us after closing, insisting we come back so that we could enjoy our desserts and sake on the house. It really was a warm and amicable end to our night.

Great experience with fresh delicious food and good service. We were in Hayes in dinner time and decided to give this place a try. We were seated right away without reservation, which is luck on a Sunday evening. We ordered Snow dragon, Spicy summer, Double red, and Nasu roll. I liked all of them but my favorite was Double red. Our server, Uncle Ben, was extremely attentive, which added to the experience. Extra ginger, water refill and even complimentary sweet treat at the end - made that dinner memorable. The place was cozy with lights dimmed, and calm guests. I’ll definitely come there again.

Everything we ate at Nakama was exquisite. When we ordered the 8-piece nigiri tasting to share, our waiter, Benjamin, offered to bring us four pairs of two, which was thoughtful and appreciated. The nigiri itself was fantastic, especially the Korean walu. The service was quick and unobtrusive. Each of the special rolls we ordered (Dragon, Dynamite, Double Red) were well balanced, distinctive, and interesting. We'll definitely be returning!

Great and fresh sushi. The selection of vegetarian rolls is limited but the agedashi tofu is wonderful!

Good local and casual sushi. Fresh fish and nice pieces. A few less-than-usual varieties as well.

Very good. Very fresh
