If you’re a sushi lover looking for a great spot to satisfy your cravings in the Mount Vernon area, Nama Sushi Bar & Restaurant is the place to go! I recently visited this restaurant and was blown away by the quality of their food and the reasonable prices.
First off, the sake was fantastic – perfectly chilled and served fresh from the bottle. The miso soup was also a standout dish, with a rich, savory broth that was the perfect starter to my meal.
Next up, the edamame was cooked to perfection – not too soft, not too hard – and seasoned with just the right amount of salt. And the sushi! Wow. The rolls were expertly crafted, with fresh, high-quality fish and perfectly cooked rice. I especially loved the spicy tuna roll.
But what really stood out to me about Nama was the value. With so many sushi restaurants charging exorbitant prices, it was refreshing to find a spot where I could enjoy such great food without breaking the bank.
Overall, I highly recommend Nama Sushi Bar to anyone looking for a delicious, affordable sushi experience. You won’t be disappointed!

We went for happy hour and enjoyed the food, atmosphere and service. We ordered from both the happy hour menu and regular menu. HH prices are $8 vs $12 for similar rolls, with 6 pieces vs 8 for the signature rolls. The crispy shrimp and tuna-avocado rolls were favorites from the HH menu. The Candy Cane roll was excellent (reg menu). Nice experience and service with a smile.

Wow. We received a recommendation from a friend to try this place out and I’m so glad we did. The sushi was so amazing and so fresh. we got several rolls and ate every single piece!! The service was awesome and the ambience was great. The drinks were also very delicious. I can’t wait to go back!

This place has nice presentation and vibe. It would be nice to sit here at night to chat with friends. However the food was very disappointing for its price point. We got three rolls but it already put us over $50. The quality is similar to other restaurants that are half the price. The rolls were not terrible but nothing super special. Unfortunately I was expecting a lot more when walking in because the restaurant seems really nice.

I went for happy hour and summer restaurant week. Three course summer deal had amazing food and the restaurant had attentive service. The chefs were professional and percise. The miso soup was delicious. The nagiri and sushi were on point. The mochi ice cream desert was flavorful.

Wanted to find a relaxed sushi bar while on business travel. Landed on Nama Sushi Bar and was pleasantly surprised. The chef’s special sashimi and nigiri platter had a selection of some of the tastiest sushi I have ever tried. I cannot recommend this establishment enough for the quality of food, service, and atmosphere.

Must be a bad time..
Food was alright but why does it take 30 mins to make 10 pieces of nigiri? Waitress definitely didn’t like or care for her job.
Waste of money, sighs

A prime example of first impressions. As soon as we walked in, I could see that the floor was unswept and hadn’t been cleaned…in a while. It takes some time for that sort of grime to build up.
It didn’t get any better when we were sat next to the window, where we could admire dead flies on the inside window sill.
When we lifted our water glasses, they stuck to the table and required a jerk to pick them up. Not a good start.
Although we were the only table in at the start of the night, our server seemed distracted and rushed every word out of their mouth.
Regarding the food, the ‘Namaste’ roll and the Hamachi small plate were notable. The rest (Chef’s Selection, crispy shrimp roll, over-dressed Crab and Cucumber salad) were middle of the road- meaning that none of them really “popped,” and at that price point, one does expect the flavors to the there.
For the price, there are much better options in DC for sushi, sashimi and rolls.

My friends and I came here for happy hour on a Friday and ordered exclusively off the happy hour menu.
I had the eel & cucumber roll, the spicy tuna & avocado roll and the crispy shrimp tempura & avocado roll. My friends also got the vegan BBQ roll and the tuna avocado roll.
All in all, we liked our meal. The rolls were good, if not great, and the price (at least for happy hour) was right. The service was solid. I’d certainly come again for happy hour though it wouldn’t be my first choice for a non-happy hour sushi dinner.

Music was loud. That was my biggest complaint. Otherwise, excellent sushi. Probably best I’ve had in town. I say at the bar and they were out of one of my orders, but the sushi chef gave me recommendations, which I accepted, and ended up with a wonderful meal.
The miso was very flavorful and contained more mushrooms and onion in it then I’m used to which added to its overall experience.
