Just to be fair, we've been regular patrons for about a year. We are in love with the ginger salad, shrimp skewers & pork pot stickers (sautéed, not fried). What's more is that these are all on the happy hour menu till 7:00 pm, so it is really affordable. The service is always good, and they have a large deck for outdoor dining. How could we not keep coming back? The only criticism I could have is that it is always cold when the AC is running, so dress warmly!

Cal and Ryan provided exceptional service during our visit to Nami. Cal’s recommendations were spot-on, introducing us to a variety of delicious dishes that went above and beyond our expectations. The restaurant’s tapas-style concept is perfect for sharing, and we loved trying everything family-style. Honestly, we’re still debating which dish or dessert was our favorite—they were all outstanding! A big shoutout to the chef for crafting such an incredible menu. The service was flawless, with the entire staff working seamlessly as a team. Their attention to detail and coordination created one of the best dining experiences we’ve had. Nami is a must-visit, and we can’t wait to return. Highly recommended!
