terrible horrible service – I totally agree with every reviews on here that talk about the terrible service and rude awful manager. I've eaten at nakama a few times. It's either hit or miss. My time there is either great with no problems or a horrible experience. The times I've had problems the manager has not lifted a finger to make anything better, grudgingly taken bad food away rolling his eyes, asked me what I wanted him to do about my rock hard rice .... He's a rude bastard and I have NO idea how he got the job as the m... read more

Lots of Hotties – Great food and a Lot of Hotties at happy hour. I get lots of phone numbers, because I am really good looking. Once a gril names Tammy , told me I looked like a movies star. She is right.

5 Stars! – We come here all the time after events downtown and it is great all the time. The sushi is really good!

Great place to eat if you want to be treated like crap – The manager is an ass hole and the waitstaff are too busy talking to the hipsters to care about getting your food to you. This is like a little wanna be Hollywood inside of Pittsburgh. The food is OK but plan on being bumped into all night by gel haired pretty boys trying to impress the skanks that frequent the place. When you ask for anything other than your order the waitresses sigh. That's OK! That was the second time in my life I ate a ton of food and left a big fa... read more

HORRIBLE Night @ Nakama – There are too many GOOD restaurants in Pittsburgh to even think about going to Nakama. Don't waste your money, or your time! RUDE employees including the Manager. We made reservations 6 weeks out, and after waiting over 1 hour for our table, the manager's response was ... “Do you want me to walk you through the restaurant and show you that the tables are all full?” We were seated within 15 minutes of that encounter. The chef served chicken to two people in our party, although three had ordered chick... read more

Don't bother to waste your money or time! – If you want to waste your money & time on really horrible sushi, then go to Nakama. This restaurant should do themselves a favour & take out the sushi bar completely, add another liquor bar & call it a day. Tuna from a can on a slice of cucumber does not make sushi! Does anyone in this town really know how to prepare fresh, real sushi?

The place to go if you want to be "seen". – The sushi that they do have is serviceable enough - very safe choices for the crowd they attract. However, my request for uni proved futile, tobiko with quail's egg - no go. Neither of these are terribly exotic and I expect any sushi bar to have them available. Too many sushi choices come sauced to death. Again, fine when catering to a crowd that follows the trends but not if you truly enjoy the cuisine. Any of the delicate interplay of flavors and textures is obliterated. I didn't... read more
