Nama Japanese Cuisine - Oakland

The selection of ramen is limited, but the quality is excellent. I have yet to try the sushi on the menu.

The sushi options at this restaurant are varied and delicious, with fresh ingredients and the perfect rice texture. The miso ramen was also tasty, but they should be more transparent about when they include pork in a dish. It seemed like a vegetarian option, but there was bacon or something similar added for flavor, which was disappointing. They should avoid adding animal products without clearly stating it on the menu.

Nama was pretty good. I had the black garlic oil ramen and the broth looked overpowering and creamy, but when you actually tasted it, it was pretty mellow and balanced. I still am not set on if I like spinach in ramen, but it wasn't bad. Toppings were good... Soft boiled egg was spot on. The noodles were a tad soft for my preference. I wanted a little more bounce to them. But overall they've definitely earned repeat business if I'm in the area.

More space inside than you'd expect from looking at it from outside. Service, friendliness, and overall atmosphere was comfortable and relaxing. And...the Sushi was Great!!!

This place was great. nothing too fancy but the sushi we ordered was really delicious appropriately priced. definitely going back soon!
