Nami is not a place I will go to great lengths to be a patron at again. It was average by all means. I suppose I have grown to prefer the intimate settings of true family run sushi houses with charictaristic Japanese decor, tatami mat seating and a no shoes policy. The decor is beautiful, however compairable to just about any other ""trendy"" restaurant in Minneapolis. Nothing stuning about it. The sushi were average and no better than something you can pick up made fresh at any Byerly's. I was shocked at how slow the place was for a 7-8pm dinner crowd on a Saturday night. I made reservations expecting the place to be packed, not necessary. Pricey...two pieces of sushi for $6.50-8.50, please. Nice place to try though it did not live up to the expectations presented online or in Minnesota Monthly. Not for beginers. Some sushi awareness recommended.
Pros: Decent Menu, Parking?, Informative staff
Cons: Pricey, Average, Blah
