Best sushi around! The owners are so sweet, and really take pride in their business. The ambience is beautiful, food is even more amazing. Some of the most tasty rolls, and fresh sashimi I've ever had. Also we've had amazing service every time we visit. Highly recommended! read more

Great food and a great atmosphere. The service is pretty good but my only complaint at times is the hours and not wanting to sit you down even though the published hours are showing open. So we've just had to learn to go extra early and make sure there is room. read more

We haven't eaten in yet so this is exclusively on the food. It travels well! Which is huge if you're taking it home. The sushi has been great every time. The bento boxes are fantastic (the teriyaki beef is the best) The avocado bombs are so so good. Highly recommend. Again all of these are after being driven home. I can not wait to try it in the restaurant. Only even slight complaint - their wasabi isn't actually wasabi (to be fair most in America aren't) - but it's still good even if a slightly soapy/bland taste. read more

The best sushi ever. I always get the baked rolls and they are super fresh, beautifully presented and delicious. Agree with another reviewer; time to pony up a few bucks and get your menus updated with new prices. Only complaint is they have a bar but don't serve cocktails, a pear martini would go great with the sushi. Happy we have this place, we try to go a couple times a month. Yum! read more

Very good sushi! Pleasant Atmosphere. Good service. Maybe finally got help. They have been trying to hire help. Best sushi in Lynden, wa read more

Hands down, the best sashimi in Whatcom county. I have been twice now, both times ordering the chef's choice sashimi platter. The first time I did the small one and the second time I did the big one and shared. Both times I was blown away by the generous cuts and beautiful presentation, as well as the extremely high quality of the fish. You really can't do better around here. Other menu options were also delicious and interesting, and again the presentation is beautiful. It's definitely my go-to for bringing out of town guests and friends, as well as a great friendly date night spot. One little quibble: I think it's time to update the menu prices (they are outdated so the very friendly waitress kindly informs guests that the prices are a few dollars more than listed; it's not a big deal but I really do think it's time to print up some new menus). Do yourself a favor and get in here!!! read more

It's was alright. Food wasn't super great and I think that was mostly due to it coming out lukewarm. Our miso soup actually seemed like room temp. Wasn't the worst we've had but as a first experience it's left us with no desire to go back. They were also a little busy so service was a little bit off a miss as well. Based on other word of mouth reviews I assume we just came on an unfortunate day but still. Ambiance was nice though. Really clean and nice inside. read more

Their food is delicious. I love their sushi, and chicken teriyaki. And the staff is also very friendly.

The sushi was really good. They did a great job with the sauces they used. Service was very quick and they were so friendly.

A sushi craving hit for lunch today so this place popped up. The pics looked great so off we went. It's a bit out of the way in the country but so worth the drive. We were greeted with a warm friendly welcome and grabbed a table so I could watch the sushi rollers. Kirin for me and Sapporo for the hubby. We started with a small sashimi boat which was 12 generous pieces of tuna, salmon, white tuna and Magoro. We also ordered a Cherry Blossom roll. The sashimi couldn't have been fresher..so good and tender and the Cherry Blossom Roll was just as tasty. Overall, a great sushi place with great service and very reasonable prices. read more

I've been wanting to come here since this place opened and we finally got to try it out! We arrived at 6 on a Friday night and was amazed that we were one of 3 tables at what I feel is a busy time usually for dinner. We stood at the entrance for awhile before being greeted which was kind of frustrating, when we were greeted we were told to sit wherever we wanted (they need a sign) we ordered the orange chicken bento box, kids chicken katsu, and Vegas roll the food was delicious! The roll was perfection my kids were all about the chicken and miso soup..i would eat here again..while we were there multiple people entered to pick up take out honestly I've never seen that many people order take out at a restaurant in a short time while dining.. read more

My daughter wanted sushi after her rollerskating lessons, so I found this place on google. The 2 sushi rolls we ordered were fresh, the miso soup was outstanding and the Avocado bombs were delicious but one didn't contain any avocado. We also ordered the 12 piece sashimi platter but they gave us the 12 piece nigiri instead. It was still good so I didn't say anything. My daughter liked the strawberry mochi and sauce for dessert. They are not very generous with their wasabi portions, they give you a squirt the size of a pea. I had to ask for more wasabi three times and each time I still got the tiny little pea size lol. The prices are really high, it came to $130 for an adult and a child, we have eaten the same amount of sushi for way less in Bham. But the waitress was very nice and so were the staff and the service was really quick, we were served everything very promptly! And there was a homeless guy coming in and out of the restaurant loudly harassing people until he was confronted by a brave customer who told him he needed to leave or else, (the manager should have done this way sooner). Then the homeless guy got arrested outside by two police officers so my daughter saw quite a show through the window lol. read more

The food here is pretty good but not the service. It seems like they're short staffed and need experienced servers. Our server said today was his first day. Im not sure if he had past experience serving or if he was just overwhelmed but he slammmed our drinking glasses down on the table and it startled us. We had to wait 10 minutes for water, 10 min for the miso soup and a half hour for the food. The deep fried avocado bomb and the monster roll were VERY GOOD, but both were lukewarm. And why it took forever to bring out the sashimi is a mystery. It's raw. What else is there to do with it? What else. . .plates weren't cleared off in a timely manner and after ten minutes of completing our meal we had to go and find someone to bring us our bill. As I said, the food here is GOOD but the service is lacking. Based on the previous reviews Ive read, the poor customer service and wait times for food seem to be ongoing issues that haven't been resolved yet. I'm willing to come back if they can improve their efficiency. read more

The last few times we've gone the service was lacking and the food tasted off. We were ready to try elsewhere. Decided to give it one last try and WOW!!! It was like going to a different place. The service was spectacular and the food was great! Huge improvement and so happy to see these changes. If you're not wanting sushi the hot meal variety is spectacular. Highly recommend the bento boxes if you are feel indecisive. You get a little or everything and it's all quite tasty. read more

Food is garbage if you have a problem with the dish they will be super rude and yell at you over the phone I ordered the chicken katsu and a crunch roll from the restaurant when I called they said they didn't make crunch rolls and they make their own version of chicken katsu with their own version of sauce I asked what was in it he told me sugar,vinegar and ketchup:Translation sweet and sour sauce when I asked what we should do about it he said it all comes like that I asked for a plain katsu he said they don't have plain chicken katsu...well atleast I have my crunchroll thats #Terrible bottom line don't go here unless you want to wast money and food that is damn near inedible read more

Best Sushi in Whatcom County.. Period.... Must try the Firecracker and Nami Roll... Orange Blossom, Cherry Blossom. Hell they are all Great !!!!! read more

Tonight, we had a delicious dinner at Nami's. We called Nami's at about 3:30 pm and asked about dining in. Yes! Made a reservation for 4:30 pm. So I just want to get the word out that, with a reservation, dining in at Nami's is an option again. They only had takeout for awhile. They had only one server tonight who was handling our table and collecting for takeout. But we were just happy to be dining out so patiently waited our turn to pay. Chef's Special roll is always yummy as well as beautiful. The Caterpillar roll is also a favorite. Totally worth it. We were the only diners at a table tonight! Spread the word. read more

My favorite restaurant in town! Locally owned and operated and have been eating here for 10 years.

Awesome food and great service. Friendly people. They got hit hard with COVID, but very happy they are still going.

I've never gotten anything other than sushi here, but they do sushi like it's nobody's business! The baked rolls are my go-to, they're so good. It's not the cheapest, but the quality is great enough to keep me coming back. read more

Very friendly staff and overall great dining service. I've only had take out here but I've never had a bad experience. The food is great. Some of the best sushi and teriyaki I've had around this area. read more

This place is one of the best kept secret Sushi places in Whatcom County, in Lynden, and it shouldn't be a secret! Support them, their food is so good always consistently fresh! Very good sushi !! read more

The sushi here was absolutely amazing. It taste so fresh and reasonably priced. I will definitely be going back very soon.

The food is good if you can find them open when they say they are, or willing to serve you late in the evening. Twice in the last week we have entered the restaurant more than 30 minutes before closing, with the open sign lit in the window, and they have told us they are closing and cannot serve us. read more

Terrible! Placed an order for pick up on a Thursday night. It took 20 minutes just to order because they were so confused about what we where ordering. Spicy Tuna Hand Roll - NO RICE. It's wrecked them. They had never heard of it. Never in all my sushi eating out had I had someone say "NO, it MUST come with rice." We pleaded to talk to a manager or Itamae, they did not even know what that is.... Clearly no formal training. - which is fine. But geezzzz no rice. I don't want to carb load some of my rolls. Anyways. After the 20 minute ordering fest they said said it would take 50 minutes to make. Okay. We get there an hour later. Their are 2 people eating at the restaurant. 2. It's still not done and they would need another 15 minutes. And she was rude about it like it was our fault. We cancelled our order. Fail. read more

Easy access location with very friendly staff in a welcoming atmosphere. Must say the "roll offerings" are slanted to an abundance of salmon, unusual. The Fire Cracker was the highlight for sure & very tasty. ALL selections by our group were "fresh" & very well presented. We had several apps & Bento boxes; Beef Teriyaki, Chicken Katsu & Sushi... all good. Would like to suggest an improved " dipping sauce" for the mixed Tempura, the flavor was somewhat lacking. read more

Nami Asian Bistro - Baked scallop roll - Asian Fusion Near Me - Lynden, Washington

What a wonderful treat in Lynden! An unexpected delightful sushi and bento box specialty restaurant with a pretty interesting little sake list. The restaurant is clean and beautifully decorated with an urban-Asian theme that is a change of scenery from all of the farmland around town. You can't have a sushi restaurant without a sushi bar, and this place does not fall short: an exclusive area near the entrance with views of fresh sushi ingredients and you can easily see the sushi chefs showcase their beautiful knife skills and artistic plating. We ordered our dinner to go and everything was fabulous. We cannot wait to go back! read more

Nami Asian Bistro - Appetizer - Asian Fusion Near Me - Lynden, Washington

I have never left a restaurant without getting food. I am a pretty patient and understanding person. Tonight we went to Nami (my hubby, daughter and myself). We waited a whole hour for our food. When we asked the server how long it would be before our food was ready he said we were next on the list. We waited. And then waited some more. We then asked if our food was even stated. The waiter went and asked and came back and said no. We paid for our drinks and left. It wouldn't have been so bad if it was just the hubby and me, but we had our hungry three year old with us. She was on her best behavior that night! So there's one good thing out of it :) #somethingwasoffinthekitchen read more

Excellent Japanese suschi...beautifully pesented and delicious. FRESH! Nice atmosphere and good service!

My chicken is never cooked to perfection, always chewy as HELL! And $17 for a meal, oof. Goofs need to change it up because your crappy little restaurant will be going under very soon. read more

In the little town of Lynden we didn't expect to find good sushi. They have good Dutch food here (I've heard) but Japanese is not really a big thing around these parts. We went to Nami and found not only was it good, it was GREAT! We had a big group and ordered a bunch of stuff - rolls, bento, teriyaki, etc and everything I tried was really good. Even the edamame was perfectly cooked and flavored. This would have been a 5 star review easy but for the fact that the food was brought out slow and sporadic. One of the girls had to wait quite a while longer than the rest of the group. We are definitely going back. Great place!! read more

Honestly, it was really good. The unagi could have been way better according to my boyfriend, but the service was excellent and the food rocked. The only trouble we had was when we wanted to leave. It took 15 minutes to get our bill. . . and even then we had hung out talking for 10 minutes without eating even before we asked for the bill. Next time I'm waiting 10 minutes, then leaving. read more

We've eaten here numerous times, as a couple and with groups of 6 or 10. It is not a fast food place, but we have not experienced the super long waits reported by others. We usually get our drinks right away, and miso soup and/or appetizers soon after we order, so we don't notice a problem. I love their rolls. My sons had the Yakisoba (noodles with beef or chicken), and they didn't like it. I took a taste and thought it was kind of bland, but maybe that is how the dish is supposed to taste? I have no idea. I wouldn't have ordered that anyway. Personal faves: Bento. Tempura. The rolls. Monkey Ball and Avaocado Bomb! Delicious. Very nice setting, clean. I wouldn't bring small noisy children here; the room gets loud. However, I've had friends do that and the other customers appeared to tolerate it okay. They have one corner table that can accommodate a group of about 9 (if they're cozy) and other tables can be scooted together for groups. Servers are very friendly and accommodating. read more

There are only 2 places in Lynden to get Sushi and Nami is the better choice. My favorites are the Lynden roll, Crunch roll and the yummy golden California roll. While it's never very busy the service is sometimes slow but definitely worth the wait because of their attention to detail. Stop in soon!! read more

I ordered three different kinds of sushi's and calamari. I ordered the calamari to try something. The calamari was chewy even tho it was deep fried. It was chewy and somewhat soggy with a little crunch. Lesson learned this place is only awesome for their sushi read more

This place is the bomb! You have to try the Spud Roll! Not on the menu. Absolutely amazing! Try it. Tell them Jeff sent you.

Each time we celebrate birthdays, it's sushi at Nami, and we're never disappointed. It's definitely out of the way, and we avoid Lynden except for this sushi. We don't mind if our server doesn't hover, and we're pleased to stay until closing time. Thanks for all the fish! read more
