text: I have always had a negative view of this place considering I hold sushi places in high regards due to their emphasis of quality and spirituality in their food Nakama somehow won best Japanese restaurant in Pittsburgh of so I had to check this place after all They took the characteristics of a club that I cannot stand lighting dodgy host bad cologne and put it in a Japanese steak house It is as much of a Japanese steak house as McDonalds is considered a burger joint However the food has yet to comennBeing that of sushi is the riceNakamas rice had the right moisture and texture but no seasoning at all leaving whatever their sushiroll at the mercy of the product itself The crab maki is god awful and I have no idea why it is sold in any acclaimed sushi place to begin with it was just so salty and pronounced in their CA roll came with the platter In their sashimi platter out of of the were extremely tough leaving the ligaments as the extra chew for me to deal withI give this fault to the fish monger nn In short if you are going on a date and you plan on getting laid through sushi using an overwhelming environment contemporary sushi rolls that have nothing to do with Japanese culture and using the cocktail selection to cover up the most likely undesirable after taste of the crab roll you ordered because of its sweet namethen yes by all means take herhim to here
