Fantastic Sushi and Service at Nakama South Side! The atmosphere is inviting and the perfect setting for a delicious meal. We focused on their sushi, and it was outstanding. Every roll was beautifully presented and tasted incredibly fresh, with a great balance of flavors and textures. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients and have skilled sushi chefs. Beyond the amazing food, the service was impeccable. Our server was attentive, friendly, and genuinely helpful with recommendations. The entire staff made us feel welcome and ensured a smooth, enjoyable dining experience. If you're a sushi lover or just looking for an excellent Japanese meal in a vibrant setting, Nakama South Side is a must-try. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend it!
