Yelp.com Review - by Dan M.

1.0 of 5 stars. Truly horrifying. We made the mistake of leaving the bubble (Sakana is our usual, which is great), Nami was a. dirty. b. overpriced. c. bad sushi. It reminds me of my Grandma's basement, which...

I'm a regular customer

Excellent food and friendly service, all at the best prices around, especially the 2 for 1 nigiri selections. Also, the location is right off of Woodward on 9 mile in the most cosmopolitan area of Ferndale....

Best Sushi in town for the last 5 years

I like spicy sushi and no one touches this place. Staff is friendly, and service is great. Everything is fresh & tasty. The Sweet Jesus, Dynamite California Roll, and Volcano Roll are to die for. Wish I was in...

Once was Good, Now Absolutely Disgusting .

I was bombarded by fruit flies while I waited for my fishy (smelled like garbage) sushi. When I poured out the soy sauce, there were DEAD FLIES in the sauce. All the flies started to land on my food, it was...

No more Nami for me

I've been a patron of Nami for years, and I've put up with the typically spotty service and rude owner for the quality of the sushi that eventually arrived at my table at a reasonable price. I have to say, no...

standard, fair sushi; obnoxiously bad service

The sushi was okay. It was reasonably fresh and tasted reasonably good. There were a few more bells and whistles than I like to have in sushi (no cream cheese, thank you very much). But the service was really...

3.0 of 5 stars. I like Nami a lot. Overpriced? Definitely. For that price for that sushi and that decor, it is quite outrageous. Caucasian youngsters behind the sushi counter also don't quite make it feel authentic...

Thursday 2 for 1's!!!!

I like the food at Nami a lot. They have traditional sushi as well as unexpected combination rolls with fun names like the "Scarface Roll" or the "Treehugger Roll." The Scarface, by the way, is delicious. The...

Amazing

The Sushi is amazing, the Chef's are wonderful, they just got their liquor license and now serve many varieties of Saki. I go here frequently, and it's just about replaced fast food as a comfort food.
