i've been a loyal nakama customer for years now. and, i keep going back for one reason - i love it there. the food is top quality and the atmosphere is fun and sophisticated. sure, sometimes the service has been a little slow - but, come on now, people, their food is made fresh to order. . . the way sushi should be served. if you want to score some sushi on the quick, then go and get the stuff at giant eagle that has been sitting around, pre-rolled, for god only knows how many hours. i'll take mine fresh and pleasantly plated any day!\r

and, shame on all those folks who say nakama is ""buying"" positive reviews. offering an ""incentive"" to patrons is commonplace in the restraunt business. nakama regularly sends out e-mails to patrons in their VIP club and offers many other great incentives such as holiday specials, contests, and VIP points that can earn you free meals. their recent email is just another positive customer outreach. and, look how many people have replied positively - that's saying something. that's saying they want to eat at nakama.\r

i highly recommend nakama and believe, with or without a ten dollar gift certificate coming my way, that it is the best japanese place in the 'burgh, both for sushi dishes and habachi meals. so, if you haven't given it a try, i recommend you check it out and see what you think of it for yourself.
