Really excellent place with excellent food, a great atmosphere, and lovely staff! Don't look at the name and think that Namba is only about the Ramen and Sushi. They also do other Japanese dishes really well. I got their Japanese Curry Beef and it was definitely one of the best Japanese curries that I've tried in Florida. They are very generous with the portion of both rice and curry. The curry itself had some heat and spice, but not to the point of being overwhelming. Love the chunks of potato, peas, carrots, and tender beef all mixed in. The perfect dish for a cool winter night in Southwest Florida. If you are in Naples, be sure to check them out! Just be prepared for a wait because it's a popular place and a rather small and cozy restaurant. But if you get a seat here, you won't be disappointed :) read more

Namba Ramen & Sushi - Inside - Ramen Near Me - Naples, Florida

The temperature dropped to low 40's and we are craving for a hot bowl of chewy ramen noodles. We were near the Mercato area so we stop by the Pelican Bay Shopping mall looking for Namba Ramen & Sushi! The décor is simple, with tables closely situated and a few framed prints on the wall except by the entrance with replica of news articles about Namba. It has the look and feel of "Japanese Noodle Soup Shop". Chef KoKo is well known locally for his tonkotsu based ramen in Naples. The broth is thick, creamy and full of flavor from pork bone and narrow after long hours of cooking. We opted for the pork, Hakata Classic and the beef, Hayashi ramen. The Hakata Ramen has nice slices of chashu (pork) with ginger, wood ear mushrooms, bamboo shoots, scallions, bean sprouts, nori and half seasoned egg. The Hayashi Ramen has thinly sliced sirloin beef with shoyu sauce, garlic, scallions, bean sprouts and shitake mushroom and corn. The hot tonkotsu broth made them delicious meal! My other favorite is the Hokkaido Ramen with shrimp and calamari. Namba is an izakaya style facility but tonight we did not order any small plates, Aburi/Maki sushi or Sake. We simply sip cup of hot Jasmine Tea! Service is excellent here. read more

The friendliest service with a smile and great opinions! The BEST grilled octopus I've ever had and everything from the pork belly buns to the nigiri is soooo tender! Even when it's busy it's not too loud. It's truly a must go! read more

Lovely small storefront restaurant with fresh fish, quality preparation and friendly waitstaff! Restaurant tables are a bit close, but sitting outside is a perfect option! The Ramen was outstanding, the sushi was creative and delicious! The pork Belly bao bun was fabulously carfted with a fluffy warm bun, crispy port belly the right amount of cucumer and hoisin sause! Rich and very satisfying! Looking forward to a return meal. Thanks Ivan for excellent service and friendly conversation! read more

If you're searching for a sushi experience that blends elevated craftsmanship with an inviting, almost hidden-gem atmosphere, Namba is the spot you'll want to put at the top of your list. The moment you step inside, the restaurant wraps you in a warm, cozy vibe--soft lighting, natural wood tones, and a calm energy that makes the space feel intimate but never cramped. It's the kind of place where you can actually settle in, relax, and enjoy every course as an experience rather than just a meal. Food (especially the fish): Namba's sushi is exceptional. The quality of the fish is immediately obvious--clean, bright flavors, perfect texture, and that fresh, lightly sweet aroma you only get from pristine cuts handled with real care. The toro is luxuriously buttery, the salmon practically dissolves with minimal resistance, and even the more delicate white fish selections are full of subtle depth. Nigiri is crafted with precision: the rice is warm, lightly vinegared, and structured just enough to hold its shape without feeling dense. Their rolls lean classic and refined rather than over-the-top, highlighting balance and technique. A standout was a lightly seared scallop roll accented with yuzu kosho--simple, elegant, and unforgettable. The 17-Hour Ramen Broth: Even though sushi is the main attraction, the ramen at Namba deserves its own fan club. The broth simmers for a full 17 hours, and the result is nothing short of transformative. It's rich but not heavy, layered with savory depth, and velvety enough that each sip feels like a slow, comforting exhale. The noodles have the perfect bite, the chashu is tender and deeply flavorful, and the soft-boiled egg brings everything together. It's easily a bowl that could stand on its own at a dedicated ramen shop. Service: The staff is warm, attentive, and clearly knowledgeable--never pushy, and quick with recommendations. The only hiccup during the visit was the pacing of the courses. Dishes arrived at different times for different people at the table, which made it tricky for everyone to enjoy each course together. It didn't overshadow the meal, but for a restaurant operating at such a high level, synchronized timing would elevate the experience from excellent to flawless. Overall: Namba is a standout--cozy, polished, and serving some of the freshest, most thoughtfully prepared fish you'll find. The sushi is top-tier, the 17-hour ramen broth is memorable in its own right, and the atmosphere is perfect for date nights, celebrations, or just indulging in truly great food. With a bit more consistency in course timing, Namba could easily be a full five-star destination. read more

Okay, this place is a hidden gem! It's not a quick and cheap sushi place, but if you're looking for quality, you've found it. We got the beef curry and a sushi sampler. Both were excellent. The service was top notch and the food was too. It was very fast, and we were in and out. It's a small space, so I would make sure you're prepared to wait a bit if you come at a busy time. I would love to go back and try more of their options. I think what impressed me the most was their dedication to quality ingredients. It shows, even in their tea selection!! read more

Everything we ordered was fantastic. Our server Kaylee was awesome. She was very helpful navigating the menu and her selections were spot on. Great place-we look forward to going back. read more

This little place was recommended to us. It was amazing from the service to the food! When we arrived, it was packed, a good sign! Everybody that waited on us was extremely nice, making sure that everything was OK, we got to sit right in front of the cooks who were making the rolls and the fresh entrées; the ambience was great, everyone was there to enjoy the food! After we ate everything we didn't expect to eat dessert but we did green tea. Crème brûlée was exceptional! But then everything else was too! read more

This may have been the best meal I've ever had. We went with the octopus app, followed up with the hamachi yellowtail aburi sushi, then Hokkaido ramen, and finished off with matcha crème brûlée. The sushi melted in your mouth and the crème brûlée was one of the best desserts I've ever had. This was a smile on my face meal from the jump. I cannot recommend this place enough. read more

Our usual sushi bar was transitioning to a Thai restaurant. We read great reviews about Namba & decided to visit. We sat at the sushi bar (as usual) & all we can say is this is now our favorite sushi location in the Naples metro area. Delicious sushi creations, beautifully presented, 10 out of 10, & all of the staff were delightful. Their prices are definitely on the high side, but this is our new sushi home. read more

Food lacked flavor and was over price for the amount you get, service was absolutely horrible server Cali was extremely rude to me and my family, rushed us and confronted me when i stood up to ask for a extra bowl since i didn't have one, just because of her, the whole experience was unpleasant, DONT COME HERE! read more

Namba Ramen & Sushi - Excited! - Ramen Near Me - Naples, Florida

There are limited good legit Japanese options in the area. This place is the real deal. The aburi sushi was the real deal and everything was fresh, well prepared, and presented. The beef curry was probably my favorite Japanese comfort food dish. Beef was tender, curry was perfect blend of flavors and seasoning. My kids loved the hakata ramen. The octopus was really good and well prepared. Brussel sprouts were also a good starter and the bacon pieces definitely added to the savory flavor of the dish. The rock shrimp was probably only dish that seemed average and a little boring. Price is a little steep but comes with the fact that they monopolize those who want good authentic Japanese food. read more

I really enjoy the cooked foods at this establishment. You really can't go wrong. I'm not a super huge fan of the rolls and sushi though. I've definitely had better for way less (albeit on the east coast of FL though). Service was ok. I sat outside. So I don't think the servers came as often as I'd like. Service may have been better if I sat inside. Also, make sure you allocate time for a table. They don't take reservations. You have to put your name on a waitlist. And just wait for the table. read more

Namba sushi is the best sushi in the Naples & Fort Myers area. I came for multiple years and Chef KoKo always delivered the best experience. The food is fresh with a large selection of nigiri and sashimi including ikura, uni and others. The quality is amazing. You can book your table using the yelp waiting list. The service is always excellent and the ambiance is nice! I come here all the time and recommend it to anyone. read more

Hit real big tonight/ excited to report that this restaurant is authentic and wonderful. Ramen base was flavorful yet light; sushi terrific, fresh and well done. Asian mix edamame was a treat.

I can't think of any critiques--this place really blew my mind! The place was quite busy when I went on a Sunday evening, but as I was dining by myself that day, I was able to be seated immediately at the sushi bar where I could watch as the chefs did their magic and meticulously sliced seafood. The service was top notch--staff were exceptionally friendly, and my food was out in only about 5 minutes, yet it was piping hot and tasted delicious! I got the vegan ramen with fried red onion ($16 + $1), which added some crunch. The broth was quite creamy, the noodles were cooked to the perfect texture, and I was even provided some red pepper flakes to add additional spice. I ended up gulping down the entire bowl because it was so good. Do yourself a favor and pay them a visit! read more
