Nami Sushi and Grill
1604 14 St SW
We both had a craving for sushi and we invited Mama Hui along! Nami is located right off of 17th Ave, which is close to home and we were hungry (Kim was hangry...).
Deluxe Assorted Sashimi- 7 kinds, 19 pcs
The salmon and tuna were good but the scallop, octopus and the other pieces were the real stars of the plate. Each piece was had great texture and was full of flavour.
Salmon Battera- Torched salmon, avocado
Chef's box pressed sushi is an interesting concept that we have yet to experience. The flavour is amazing and everything just melted in your mouth. The sweet sauce really complements the smokiness of the Aburi Salmon! It would have been perfect if they reduced the amount of rice by just a little as it was a bit too filling for us.
Chopped Scallop- Nigiri
The scallop here is amazingly delicious! There was a great ratio of scallop to rice, served with a perfect amount of sauce, which provided flavour without overpowering the scallop.
Volcano Roll- spicy tuna with spicy imitation crab, tobiko and sesame dressing on top
Nami Sushi and Grill introduces a very different approach than what is typically served as the sesame dressing provides a wonderful flavour. Spicy tuna and crab fits perfectly with the other components. A nice level of heat for Mama Hui but both of us were craving for more.
Flames Roll- spicy salmon with avocado, torched salmon, bonito and unagi sauce on top
The filling was flavourful and paired perfectly with the toppings. The Aburi Salmon and Bonito flakes added a wonderful smokiness to the roll, while the cucumbers provided a nice crunch. A very delicious roll!
Assorted Tataki- 7 pcs; salmon, tuna and scallop
The lightly seared pieces provided a wonderful flavour profile balanced by a delicious citrus sauce. There was a light crunch provided by the fried garlic crumbs. It was nice to have an array of tataki since most places force you to order one type.
We were delightfully satisfied by the yummy food served at Nami Sushi and Grill. The friendly service paired with a speedy kitchen was a perfect way to subdue Kim's hanger (hungry + angry). Their delicious Chef's Special Rolls are well priced at $9.95 so we're definitely coming back for more!
Enjoy!
