Nami’s contemporary Japanese concept sparkles with European elements in its approach to the modern dining experience. Discretely positioned in Lake Nona’s art-forward Wave Hotel, the world-class culinary team collaborated to bring a one-of-a-kind menu served in an imaginative and beautifully designed dining room.

Plan ahead Thursday - Saturday evenings for a captivating culinary journey, with our 10-seat Chef's Counter experience, curated by Michelin-Star Restaurant Chefs Freddy Money and Jason Beliveau.

The cocktail bar offers elevated mixology in its precise and beautiful cocktails. But have you heard of Nami Nights? As the night evolves, the cocktail bar and dining room become one to create a lounge-like retreat with in-house DJ led vibes, Champagne service and special late night menu offerings.
Friday and Saturday evenings after 10pm.

We politely request all guests be respectful in their choice of attire and elevate when dressing for Nami, while adhering to our guidelines.

    Went here for our anniversary dinner last night and it was 10/10 from start to finish. Made us feel special and loved the story behind the chef and each course. Was great food, entertaining, and left full! We will be back!

    A culinary experience that will rival any other! What an amazing experience here in Orlando. What was designed to be a small sushi counter has been transformed to a front row seat to the kitchen where 3 chefs, 2 servers and a host take care of your every need. I won’t ruin some of the amazing surprises they have in store, but I was blown away by the interactive and educational 18 bite meal that was served. Sadly, we even had to take some of it to go which felt criminal! We did not opt for the wine pairing and felt it would have been too much for our poor stomachs to handle. 2 glasses and we were having a great time. Counted seats a maximum of 8 people in a private room. Highly suggest for anyone celebrating any occasion!

    Wow. If you have the opportunity to attend a wine dinner or a chef’s counter dinner, do it. David is an incredible sommelier and Jason an incredible chef. Having dined at many a Michelin starred restaurant, I fail to understand how Nami doesn’t have a star.

    Excellent service. Food was delicious especially the lobster donut and the uni bowl. I ordered the fish and chips (at the bar), which was too heavily fried for me. The bartender offered to take it off the bill and get me something else. I HUGELY appreciated that and can’t wait to visit again!
