I have to agree with the majority of people on here...Nakama is a great restaurant. It is definitely a busy place and sometimes (even with reservations - which I have learned to ALWAYS make...esp. on a weekend!) you do have to wait. I definitely think that it is worth it. What do expect from a great restaurant??? Sure, I have had the same experiences with the $ off coupons not being valid at the sushi bar, etc. However, it's just the policy - what's the big deal? We just went back another time and used it in the dining room!... read more

Sushi & Drinks – Nakama is one of my favorite restaurants to meet up with friends at. We always go at least once a month for sushi & drinks and just hanging out in the bar. The bar staff is exceptionally friendly and attentive. No matter who you are, the bartenders always treat you like a VIP. The sushi (and all food) is always fresh and served to your specific requests. The upbeat and lively scene makes it a great place any night of the week. Tuesdays are our favorites b/c it is "double points" night and the crowd is perfec... read more

So good I've become addicted! (plus the best apple martinis in town!) – My friend and I have been going to Nakama faithfully to get our fix! I must have my shrimp sauce a MINIMUM of once a month if not more. I've been to every sushi place in Pittsburgh and Nakama has the best sushi, hands down! Not only can they put their food up for cheers but their apple martinis are nothing to shake a chopstick at!

Wonderful Service and food – This resturant is one of my Favorites, so much so that it is where I take all of my friends for their birthday dinners and where my Family takes me every year for my birthday...It is a wonfderful atmosphere, and great food..I love watching all of the action at the hibachi tables, but even the bar area is a great place to sit and enjoy yourself.

The sushi is a work of art – Watching the chef prepare our meal made me want to learn to do it myself! The sushi looks like art work and the bar keeps you busy while you wait for a table. I've been there a few times and will definately be going back in the new future. I highly highly recommend Nakama! :) Whether you stop in for a light sushi lunch, or a full hibachi steak dinner, you are sure to enjoy the atmosphere and exquisite food. Perfect for a romantic night out

C'est si bon! – If you like sushi, then Nakama is the only name you need to know in Pittsburgh. I work on the South Side. This is a great place for happy hour too. 1/2 price apps, strong drinks, and hot bartenders. You will not be disappointed.

Always a great time – I would just like to say how much i enjoy going to Nakama, it quickly became one of my favorite places to go. I just recently went for my birthday and had a great time. My group consisted of six people, and we made our reservations over the internet through Nakama's website so we didnt have to wait very long to be seated. However while we did wait we enjoyed a few drinks at the bar, and some hanalei and spider rolls which are my favorites. Our chef was great, he was very interactive and enteraining. He ... read more

Great weekend lunch spot – My husband and I went for lunch on a Sunday and had no problem getting a seat right away (no reservations). It was our first time at this type of restaurant. We were curious about the cuisine, but no clue what the terminology meant. Our server and chef were very knowlegable and helpful. Everything was delicious!! We can't wait to go back.
