Great restaurant if you love fish ! Try the ice cream - delicious. Best server is Matt, ask for him!
Decent appetizer sampler if you like fried goodies. The triple sea roll is good, as are the piña roll and Atlantic roll . If you saved room for dessert , get the chocolate truffles .
Tempura Roll is yummy!!! Half price on Thursdays. Hearty Crunchy and warm. Great Roll for beginner sushi eaters. Melts in your mouth ????
Salmon Skin Roll - Hard to Chew & Swallow. Have a napkin handy. If you like fishy tasting pork rinds wrapped in seaweed then look no further. ????????
Not crazy about the crazy tuna roll . Light but fishy. Not a fan of the avocado on top but the quality of the albacore topping is top notch.
Spring Rolls - not a fan. Rain Thai Bistro in Chattanooga still takes the gold Home for this menu item. Filling is mushy and sticky.
Get the soy joy and the sake infused winter warmer...bartender is awesome great service ????
Sunday specials: Happy Hour 4-6, 1/2 price house sake carafes & house bottles of wine all day, kids eat free, $3 mimosas and $4.50 bloody marys , plus the hot menu is served all day!
There are specials almost every day! 1/2 price rolls Mon & Thursday, 1/2 price apps & drafts on Wed, 1/2 price bottles of wine Tues, and Happy Hour 4-6pm everyday!
Typical, overly sauced American sushi - but good nonetheless. I would be nice for them to pay a bit more attention to their rice to elevate the bite without having to rely on sauces.
Delicious sushi go there Mondays and Thursdays for half sushi prices
Go on a Monday or Thursday night for half price sushi . The lunch special is also a great deal.
Try the JG Roll. The combination of the seared tuna with the crab and panko whitefish is the perfect balance between creamy and crispy .
Expensive but try the chef platters for a beautiful meal!
Get the shrimp & crab dip - it comes with naan and is so good. I have a hard time NOT getting the shrimp & crab dip .
Seriously...the best sushi I've had outside of Nobu in San Diego. That is impressive! :)
The tempura roll and pizza roll were my favorites. Bonito flakes on the pizza roll were awesome!
The Atlantic roll is phenomenal and soy joy is a very close second!
Tip your servers they work very hard to deal with your needs and they have to clean up after your mess. Treat them well .
Mondays & Thursdays are half-price nights! And $4 glasses of house wine . Get there early or expect to wait. Read more
The Tempura Sushi Roll is terrific! Mon & Thur 1/2 off only $8!
Order the eel !! It was fantastic! The Spicy Shrimp roll was good (per Shaun) and I can't wait to come back! Let me know if you make it, I will be jealous!!
Jeremy the bartender really knows his wine ????
Loved the cucumber maki roll (and for a great price!) and the wasabi hummus appetizer is excellent!
Half Price Sushi List for Thursday’s
If you go on half price night don't be hungry and in a hurry. New rule that you can only get one roll at a time.
If you're a sushi purist, I'd suggest going somewhere else. Traditional sushi is better and a lot cheaper elsewhere. That being said, if you like crazy combinations then you're in the right place.
First time Nama goers should try the Ex- Girlfriend. You will NOT be disappointed. :-)
Sit at the sushi bar , especially if Brock is working! Ask for his chef 's special roll !
Go on Monday or Thursday for 1/2 off rolls, double the sushi !
Try the Paleo Chirashi (No Rice )
Try the Tempura ! One of our favorite rolls!
Best roll is Thai Stick. Not on menu. Yum!
Get the seaweed salad ! And the caterpillar roll !!
1/2 price sushi on Mon and Thurs. Get the Pizza Roll , and you will never see sushi the same way again.
Secret Garden no sprouts add rooster sauce! Yum!
Try the ocean commotion. It twas amazing...
Ask for a Chef Special roll
The food here is waaaaaay better than their downtown location.
Best sushi !
The caterpillar was amazing!
Order Soy Joy ! It's not always on the menu, but it's the best roll at Nama.
I just wouldn't recommend it. It's fine, but go to shuck next door, it's better.
The ex girlfriend
Thai Stick is the best!
Happy hour 4-6pm for half price maki sushi !
Avoid booths , and hit the sushi bar !
Really good sushi for a land locked state .
V Ray is the best bar-keep in Knoxville.
Try the Tempura
One of my favorite Sushi places. Nice atmosphere and great food! Let the chef make you something and you will love it! - The Vaporum
My wife and I love this place. Try the gyoza as a starter. - Brian Greer
The UT roll and the Crunchy Shrimp roll are amazing! Some of the best sushi in Knoxville! We sit at the grill every time for my friends but I always order the sushi :) - Abby G
Great selection of brews. Always come prepared with a growler or three. Too many to choose from. Also, conveniently located beside a liquor store so it's great one-stop shopping for gatherings. - Chelsea Sanz
Wonderful variety of stores, everything from electronics to kids shoes to tea to jewelry! Clean and well maintained. - Jessa Fae
