Nakama has OK sushi. Nakama is noisy, the waiters take forever to serve you, and it's way overpriced. If you want authentic sushi go to CHAYA THE BEST SUSHI IN THE BURGH!

Great location in Southside and good if you want to fulfill a Hibachi craving. However, not the greatest Hibachi, nor the most authentic either. It's also really loud in the restaurant.
