About Us

Nami was built by people who’ve stood on both sides of the kitchen door. Years of running restaurants taught us what guests really want — fresh food, calm rooms, careful hands. Nami is everything that taught us, served simply.

“THE FRESHEST SUSHI I’VE HAD OUTSIDE OF JAPAN. EVERY PIECE FEELS MADE WITH CARE.”

Our Story

Nami was built by people who’ve stood on both sides of the kitchen door. Years of running restaurants taught us what guests really want — fresh fish, calm rooms, careful hands.

What started as a single counter in a quiet corner has grown into something we’re proud of. Here’s how it happened.

2022

We’re Open!

After years in the restaurant world, we opened the doors to Nami. One small counter, eight seats, and a single promise: fresh sushi, made by hand, every night.

2023

A Loyal Following

Word travels fast when the food is honest. By our first anniversary, regulars had standing tables and we were turning guests away on weekends.

2024

A Bigger Room

We expanded into the space next door — same counter, same chef, more seats. Reservations still recommended.

2025

INTRODUCING OMAKASE NIGHTS

Once a week, the counter closes to the public for a twelve-course chef’s tasting. Six seats. One unforgettable evening.

2026

Whats next

A new menu, new faces at the counter, and the same care we started with. The best sushi is still ahead of us.
