Nama Sushi Bar

I have several friends that relocated to Nashville from Knoxville and they were rather enthusiastic about Nama opening a location here. Perhaps it was hyped up too much by my well meaning friends but I found the experience slightly disappointing.

The atmosphere and presentation is lovely and the service was wonderful, but that's what you're paying for here. Still, our server was friendly and our food was quick.

The sushi quality does not match the prices. If my final check had been about 30% less I think my rating would be very different. However I had one bowl of miso soup and one specialty roll and paid over $20. I'm willing to fork over decent money for sushi (and do so quite often) it's good enough but I personally don't feel the taste and quality are quite there for the prices. Don't get me wrong, the food was decent. You're really just paying extra for the atmosphere and location here which is not uncommon and totally a personal choice.
