Nakama operates as two experiences under one BYOB roof in Center City East: an omakase counter led by Chef Mitsutaka, and a separate, more casual menu of everyday Japanese dishes including ramen.
The omakase side has built a devoted following, with regulars describing it as one of the city's under-the-radar sushi destinations and praising the chef's execution alongside attentive service. The casual menu draws a more mixed response, with diners noting that the experience depends heavily on what's ordered and that the ramen in particular doesn't match the omakase's standard.
