A great value for your money! – On 9-25-06, I visited Nakama for the 4th time and I was so excited because for my birthday they sent me a coupon for dinner. It is very rare that a restaurant acknowledges your birthday and let alone gives you a gift! The chef was excellent, his presentation was exciting and the food was so fresh. (I think the shrimp were still swimming on the cart.) The portions are gigantic and everyone at my table had to take some of their meal home. My meal was superb and when I heated it for lunch the nex... read more

Great atmosphere, great food and drinks! – Whether I'm just getting some sushi, or sitting at the grill, it's always a good experience. I'd say it's one of the best places in Pittsburgh to go with friends if you want to have a good time. Can get really busy so I'd reccomend making reservations for larger parties. The happy hour specials are great too! This is definitely a place I take all of my friends visiting from out of town. Nakama is a must see! Once you go, I'm sure it will be an experience to remember. Nakama is a gre... read more

left hand/right hand – anagement - I guess I am just an unlucky patron I gave your restaurant another try, with a party of four. Dinner reservations made for 10:30 p.m. Saturday, September 23rd. Being aware of the restaurant's 15 minute window for ALL parties to be seated, we arrived at 10:26 p.m. Three of us got out of the vehicle, the fourth person pulled up to the Valet area. Twenty-five minutes later, the driver arrived. The driver did not have a cell phone with him so we did not know what could have caused his delay. Fi... read more

Best japanese restaurant in Pittsburgh – I went to Nakama for my birthday and with 3 other people with birthdays. We had an excellent time. The menu is just filled with so many great dishes. We got a sushi platter and it was what i expected and more. We had made reservations a week before, as long as you get there on time and your whole party is there your table will be ready. Our chef did an awesome job preparing the food. It was definitely delicious. I've been back several times since my birthday and plan to go again soon!... read more

Best sushi I ever had! A++ for ambience, quality, and service! – My husband surprised me with dinner at Nakama for my birthday. What a wonderful surprise! I had heard great accolades about this restaurant but now I know that they're all true! The food was unsurpassed and the service was wonderful. The staff really knows how to make a special occasion an even more memorable evening. I can't wait to return!!!

Fantastic Japanese Food – Nakama has a wonderful atmosphere. Both the Sushi and Habachi are beyond compare. Nakama has become our family's favorite Japanese restaurant in Pittsburgh. I recommend it to everyone!

Great Experience! – The atmosphere and food is unbeatable. Nakama has something for everyone. Even if you don't like sushi or fish there are plenty of entrees to please everyone. The steak that I had was fabulous! There were only 2 of us for dinner and we were seated with other people at a large table. It was fun getting to talk to and meet people that you normally would not speak to in a restaurant. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Outstanding Japanese cuisine! – My friends and I love driving from Latrobe, PA out to the South Side of Pittsburgh just to make a night on the town based around dinner at Nakama. We are college students and love to try new things. We tried Nakama one Saturday night before one of our college dances actually held in Pittsburgh. This was our first Japanese style dining experience and we had such a fun, fresh and invigorating experience, that we began making it one of our popular spots to dine at when we were looking for a night... read more

Great Sushi, atomosphere – We were in Pittsburgh for a Pirates game and we stopped at Nakama. We sat at the Sushi bar and we met Kim, Nakama's Sushi chef. He gave us recommendations and made us the most wonderful Sushi. We will definitely be back
