Best Japanese Restaurants in Waterford Lakes

Tonight was our first visit to Nami. It’s a beautiful restaurant, great atmosphere, service is impeccable and food is very good. It’s an experience to eat there. Between the two of us including tip, our bill was over $300. So it’s not an inexpensive restaurant. It is an experience so it is as worth it. There were two downfalls to tonight’s visit. The first is that the chairs are very low at the tables. I’m a short person and when I sat down, I felt like the table came just above my breast bone and it was a little uncomfortable for me. Jokingly, I told my friend that should’ve brought me a pillow or a booster seat. The other thing that was disappointing was after our meal was done, we sat at the table for about 10 minutes. We were looking at our phones, where we had pulled up the menu for the restaurant and were looking at some of the things that they had on there because we couldn’t remember everything we ate. While we were doing this, the manager came up to us and asked if he could buy us both a drink at the bar. I asked him if he needed our table and he said no two other ladies did though. When we declined because we were driving, he said well can I offer you a half a glass and you can share? We said no we’ll leave.. I’ve eaten at a lot of restaurants in my life here and around the world that were just as expensive as this one or more so. And I have never been asked to leave a table. I wonder if they would’ve asked the same of a couple or two men? Anyway, I won’t let this deter me from going back because there were still a few things on the menu we wanted to try. But beware… don’t let Germany your table after dinner.

I mean the food and the service is out of this world. I felt like I was in another country . Love it here. Lomo saltado and the pisco sour five stars

While it’s always a great experience, this year topped them all! Our waitress Maria and cook Cedric were OUTSTANDING with the dietary restrictions of some of those in our party! They both went above and beyond to ensure no cross contamination occurred and verified all ingredients to make sure they were safe. They met the requests with a smile and without a second thought. Thank you! Furthermore, upon arrival, the hostess team took a memory photo of our party, printed it out, and put it in a little frame with the matter of a few minutes. Such a sweet little Christmas Eve 2024 memory! So glad this is part of my little family’s Christmas traditions and looking forward to our next visit!

Omo was an amazing experience! The tasting menu was exactly what I had hoped for with a parade of various tastes and journeys into cuisine that was both familiar and yet new at the same time. I also added the wine flight and truffle - zero regrets. But the most amazing thing about Omo is the service. I have not in my life, even at some of the finest restaurants around the world, had the service that I had here. Cheers to the team - to the chefs, to the service staff, to the person who called me to check in on my allergy, to everybody who wished me a happy birthday, even with a customized card at the end… I appreciate you.

Loved Sushi Saint omakase experience! Miele and Chef Paik created comfortable and relaxed atmosphere to enjoy delicious Nigiris, a rare instance in the omakase world. I try omakase all around the world, and would rate this place the best for the price. Please keep it affordable and casual. The experience was delightful!
