This is a great spot for the family - we often get takeaway but decided to eat in last night. Sadly, they were out of a couple of specials that sounded very tasty (oysters and live scallop)! Last night was a little off from my usual expectations - the sushi/sashimi was good, but didn't "pop" like it sometimes does. The japanese uni was very good, but I was a little disappointed that they no longer stock quail eggs, as I like that with my ikura sushi. Apparently, there was too little demand in the area. oh well....shikata ga nai! The service was friendly and complete as always, if a little frenetic.

Take away sushi from this establishment carried out surprisingly well. 15 minute drive and everything seemed to be the appropriate temperature. No excessive moisture, things remain their appropriate texture. Everything was bagged up very well. You're greeted by the restaurant staff immediately by pretty kind people. The spicy tuna roll was standard and pretty good. The soft shell crab had an interesting taste that was semi-fishy. The breading was good but the crab left a lot to desire.The rock shrimp was nice and crispy and the spicy aioli dipping sauce paired well with it. The hamachi jaw was cooked well but lacked a lot of flavor. The yuzu / ponzu sauce helped provide extra flavor.Overall I surprisingly think the regular sushi (nigiri, rolls, and sashimi) is your best bet here for takeout at least for shorter trips. Their other cooked dishes were lacking in flavor even if they seemed to carry out well.

Went here New Year's Eve, 2022, on my way into the city. My family had ordered from here many times, but we had never gone. First of all, the brown sugar bubble tea was good, but then the chicken hit the table. It was so quick, too! The chicken katsu was really good, and the sushi was great, too. All around, there was Japanese-style decor. Overall, this is a great place, and I would give it 6 stars if possible!

This restaurant could be one of our favorites as the food can be very good and it should be as the prices at this restaurant are high. My problem is the inconsistency. My husband loves fried rice and the first time he ordered it, it was perfect with lots of veggies and meat. You expect this at almost $20. Lately the fried rice is just rice and meat with almost no veggies.......what a disappointment and oh so boring and overpriced. There is no reason to come back for this....from exceptional to boring...we know you have the ability because you did it before. Is it going to kill you to put some veggies in your fried rice. I like their soup with two pork medallions and noodle and an egg. This soup was excellent a few timeswith nice Asian veggies added to it. While also expensive at$17 , I was willing to pay this quite often because it was a complete meal and very good. The last 3-4 times there have been very few veggies at all in the soup. When I asked the wait staff about this was told they use what they have that day. I also noticed in addition to few veggies, there is to much broth and not enough noodles either. I gave this restaurant a 2 star instead of a 1 star with hopes that they will up their game and be a great place to eat again. They sure could use the business as they are never very busy. The are expensive and should do a more consistent better job.

This was my first suburban sushi experience. It was definitely above average. Trumps any of the 1/2 price sushi in northeast Philly, but doesnt quite hold up to center city sushi, such as Tuna Bar. The menu had a nice variety and service was attentive. We had both raw and cooked rolls. I enjoyed my raw rolls, but for the price was not totally blown away. The presentation was nice and the fish was fresh, I just think prices were a bit steep for what you get.

Stopped in to pick up lunch between meetings today. Was told it could take approx. 10-15 min to prepare a sushi order on the spot, which was great. It ended up taking less than five min for my super fresh spicy tuna roll and crisp house salad, and I was on my way. The staff was super friendly and quick, and the restaurant was very clean.

Sushi Nami has been around for a very long time. We had been to the one on Paoli years ago. I moved away for a while but my family still frequents sushi nami (cousins aunts uncles etc. lots of people). They all love it. I couldn't remember much but they have one in wayne now (my hometown) so I decided to pickup Sunday night after a family party before driving back home to center city phila. I got the fire dragon roll, spicy tuna roll, chicken fried rice, and the pork gyoza. I will say it wasn't AS good as my spot st home in center city phila. Maybe I'm just too used to them! But it was really good and well prepared. Tasted fresh to me. The spicy tuna was my fave roll. Weirdly enough given it's just a classic little roll. I was comparing the fire dragon roll to the one I get at home in philly as they were nearly the same thing. So hard to say. But tuna was good and they were fat. Good portions here which is super important. Anyway, We LOVED the gyoza.... Some of the best I've had for sure. And for $4.50 you can't beat it! Yum! And I'm obsessed with the dipping sauce with the gyoza. I saved my leftover sauce to eat with my Trader Joe's gyoza later on. Now what we weren't thrilled about is the chicken fried rice. Rice was good. But the chicken has like some teriyaki type sauce to it? Really not normal for chicken fried rice. Normally ya just get regular grilled or cooked chicken. Not teriyaki chicken? Idk what it was. But it was off putting and weird to me. Otherwise everything was great. Service was fantastic and restaurant looked nice inside. I am Interested in dining in one day. Very easy to pick up. Nice staff too. And it was easy to order on the phone. Thanks ! Probably will be back when I'm back at my parents again.

Yeah, I'm sorry I'm only three stars on this place... based on quality and value. The ahi tower was really the worst I've ever had. Not that it was bad, just that I've always had much better. Also, when I looked at the small portion and thought that I could have purchased a large poke bowl for the same price I thought I should make better decisions in the future. Same with the Rainbow roll.But the Rock Shrimp, which is fried shrimp with yuzu aioli, was amazing. I'd recommend everyone try this menu item.The Miso soup at only $2.50 a cup was a good price and a great way to start off the meal. But I'm still at at 3 stars...

My friends and I wanted to have a relaxing Friendsgiving with a wide variety of foods, so we decided to order sushi. I ignored the fact that a few weeks back my father felt sick after eating at Sushi Nami, and instead convinced myself that nothing would happen to me. Silly me. I ate the sushi and was bed ridden the next day, eating a diet consisting of merely saltines and a single pretzel - before I felt too sick again and retreated to water. Will not be sushi for a while, and will not be eating here for a long time. Hope this helps.
