There may be a wait, but well worth it – My husband and I eat at Nakama frequently, and I have never had a bad experience there. The food is all very good (especially the filet!), and the sushi is excellent. There is usually a long wait, and not always enough room to comfortably wait in the bar or sushi bar, so try to go during off hours or make reservations pretty far in advance. It is also somewhat loud, so maybe not the place for a quiet, intimate romantic dinner, but great for groups and happy hour gatherings. Pros: Very... read more

Awesome Sushi and Hibachi – The sushi is always the freshest and best tasting from anywhere around. The hibachi chefs are entertaining, and the food is delicious. It's a busy place, so be sure to get a reservation, but the great atmosphere, great food, and great location make Nakama a must for anyone looking for something different to do.

Great Meal & Entertainment – My husband & I recently had dinner and had the lobster tails and kobee(sp?) beef. The meal and entertainment was excellent. We shared a table with 6 strangers, and yet, the chef still tried to encompass us all in the entertainment of the food preparation. We so enjoyed ourselves!! Next time, though, I'll take along people we know.

Awesome Experience!! – I've heard great things about Nakama and passed it frequently on my visits to Pittsburgh. My girlfriend, who now resides in Pittsburgh, wanted to go there one day and I agreed we should give it a shot. It so happened to be April fools day and our Chef got played tricks on by the other chef's (he had his eggs replaced, his bottles were filled with other liquids, etc etc). At the expense of his embarressment, he treated us all to some free shrimp and some additional rice. To say the very least we both ha... read more
