This is the best restaurant in Knoxville. Sit at the sushi bar and watch them create your dinner ! The new location is much larger and has a great atmosphere. If you are in knox, you must go to Nama!

Neal

Went for the Monday half-priced rolls . Great deal at those prices. It's supposedly half off and it wouldn't be worth it for double the price.

Arthur Carmichael

Try the Chef (Leif) Special Dessert - Tempura fried chocolate mochi balls , kiwi , strawberry , apple & taspberry slices on a twisted orange with raspberry & mango sauces

Hannah Maples

We got the ex-girlfriend, Thai stick, crunchy shrimp , and tempura . Wasn't a fan of Thai stick but the others were great. Good size rolls but a little expensive as one roll isn't enough to fill up.

Kaz Shakir

The sushi is great, but don't miss the hot dishes. I love to get the Currydon with tofu , with a side of tuna nigiri . Awesome combo.

I had 4 different rolls and they were all artfully crafted and delicious. The miso is also a must.

Eric Smith

The suggestion to go with chef 's choice sushi is THE way to go. The sushi chefs are amazingly talented and will create something perfect!

Always great! Lunch special is the best for quality. They doubled my seaweed salad instead of a miso !

The lunch specials are incredible! Miso soup , seaweed , cucumber , or house salad , and a full roll for only $8.

Monday and Thursdays half price sushi . Good lunch specials .

Corey Korps

Was the second table seated so light traffic, servers dragging and forgetting orders. End of meal only 4 tables seated.

Dealitout Von

Love this place...especially the gay street location. Love sitting outside and watching people.

Arthur Carmichael

Don't order sushi off the menu...Just tell the server/bartender you want a chef 's choice roll . The menu sushi is very good but the chef 's really shine when you let them get creative! Read more

Get one of the special rolls off the "secret menu ". I like moon special but non-double sized pieces

Thursday nite 1/2 price menu is limited but really good. Also on Monday.

I let the sushi chef make me a custom roll ....and it was a winner.
