Over dit restaurant

  • Goed voor speciale gelegenheden
  • Geweldig voor creatieve cocktails
  • Innovatief
Nakama is...
... the culmination of a combined 75 years of hospitality experience, with half of that time spent collaborating and working alongside each other in countless venues, events, pop-ups and even cities.
...a fellowship of dreamers and doers, with heads in the clouds yet feet firmly in trenches, working every hour of every day to build that dream for our guests.
...an Omakase Bar, a HandRoll Bar, an homage to the Japanese Listening Bar.

And We CAN’T WAIT, for you to find your way to our dinner party.

From Roku TV's Chef Jason Morimoto, comes this Lower East Side escape. With a finely focused menu of nigiri, temaki (handrolls), otsumami (small plates), complimented by an equally refined selection of the best in our beverage program.

Van de OpenTable-redactie: Chef Jason Morimoto won Season 2 of Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto's "Sushi Master" on Roku, and at Nakama, his Milwaukee Lower East Side restaurant, that precision shows. The chef's omakase is the main event. Sip the Japanese Breakfast cocktail alongside and save room for the sweet potato crème brûlée. Think of this as a Tokyo dinner party frozen in the 1970s complete with vinyl and sake that keeps flowing.

    "Trust in the chef, you’re in their hands." Like walking into a Tokyo dinner party in the 70's, Chef Jason Morimoto welcomes you into the warmth of his home, where the sake & the conversation never run dry & the audio accompaniment is ritual vinyl. You're seated at his counter before he guides you through a journey of only the finest & freshest sushi dishes, in traditional omakase fashion, yet through a singular point of view. From sustainably sourced Bluefin Tuna to A5 Wagyu, every Thursday - Saturday night Chef will be serving his unique style of Japanese tradition meets innovation. There are 2 seating options for this 14 course menu: 5:30 pm & 7:30 pm. Please communicate allergies at the time of booking. With advance notification, we can omit/substitute certain ingredients/dishes in most cases, but may have to omit a dish in rare cases. Unfortunately we can not accommodate shellfish allergies, soy allergies & egg allergies for The Omakase Bar, however we can for The HandRoll Bar & The Listening Room. Should you want to transfer your reservation, please contact us in advance to coordinate. For the Omakase, we ask that our guests respect the spirit of the word & tradition, & keep requests to needs, vs wants. Trust in Chef Morimoto.

    (For The Omakase Bar availability, search 5:30 or 7:30 Thursday - Saturday bar seating. Choose wisely.) Wisconsin's first temaki bar, where we blend the personal touch of a chef delivered course with the inclusivity of a neighborhood sushi counter. Chef Jason Morimoto welcomes you into the warmth of his home, where the sake & the conversation never run dry & the audio accompaniment is ritual vinyl. The Menu: An a la carte array of temaki / handrolls & otsumami / small plates complimented by a finely tuned selection of cocktails (including NA), sakes, wine, beers & Japanese spirits. The best part, with no omakase service on Sundays, Chef is free to create exclusive off-menu specials & say hello to every one of his house guests. We can't wait, for you to be a part of Nakama. From Chef Jason Morimoto, winner of Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto's Sushi Master Season 2 on Roku.

    (For The Omakase Bar availability, search bar seating 5:30 or 7:30 Thursday - Saturday. Choose wisely.) "The Listening Room" is an homage to the Jazz Kissa of Japan. The upstairs dining room of Nakama is an intimate escape from the bright lights of the city into the warmth & relaxation of a bygone analog era. Dinners here are meant to be enjoyed the same way that the vinyl soundtrack is meant to be heard: slowly, intentionally & enveloped in fabulous tradition. The Menu: An a la carte array of temaki / handrolls & otsumami / small plates complimented by a finely tuned selection of cocktails (including NA), sakes, wine, beers & Japanese spirits. We can't wait for you to be a part of Nakama.

    Milwaukee’s new omakase and hand roll bar 🥢 @nakama.mke Grab a seat at the bar and let Sushi Master winner Jason Morimoto take you through the experience, or snag a table for a more relaxed à la carte vibe. Either way, the entire experience from start to finish is incredibly intimate. The decor is Japanese Kissa-inspired, vinyl spina all night, and the cocktail program holds its own in addition to the bites. This is the kind of place you settle into and don’t rush out of. ✨

    Nakama is that rare restaurant that pulls off a bold concept without feeling pretentious. The Japanese-meets-Puerto Rican menu packs tons of ingredients and cultural influences into every dish, but the execution is so delicate and balanced that it just works. It feels deeply personal rather than over-engineered. ​The vinyl-spinning listening bar vibe is trendy yet genuine, and the biggest surprise? Even with a full house, the room stayed remarkably quiet and intimate, perfect for conversation. Add flawless service, and it's a 10/10. We will definitely be back.

    The experience was awesome! Favorite food Items were the escabeche, fatty tuna (special menu item) and A5 Wagyu. The music choices were also wonderful. Only thing I would recommend is that they get the clean version of the music. This doesn’t apply to me but I know if I take my mom here, she will comment and be disturbed on the music not being the clean version with the swearing and slurs in it lol.. there are also kids that come as well so that’s the only thing I would recommend. Otherwise, service was amazing and everything was very well explained being our first time here. Will definitely come again!

    First time dining, lots of hype on this place and high hopes going in. Unfortunately, Nakama did not live up to that hype. At this price point, the expectations were high. We had dined at another hyped up sushi restaurant the night before and it was difficult not to compare the two; Nakama is a somewhat decent effort but fails to hit the mark. The food was thoughtfully prepared and tasty. Just way overpriced. Service was subpar; our waitress was lackluster in personality, didn’t seem to care at all about our experience, even though we told her it was our first time dining excitedly as soon as we sat down. Again, unacceptable at that price point and a disappointing start to the meal. The tables next to us had male servers who were much more into their jobs, explaining each dish on the small menu in detail and giving personal recommendations. We desperately tried to listen to aid us in our own ordering process. Ambiance was also confusing and didn’t match the tone of what Nakama is trying to accomplish - bright lights (later dimmed) and bad acoustics on weird music. Overall, we would sadly not return or recommend, there is just as good food, better vibes, at a more reasonable price point at other Japanese establishments in Milwaukee, skip this one. All hype.

    The Omakase experience at Nakama was outstanding. If you are a real fan of Sushi, this should be on your list in Milwaukee. The chef is very passionate about his craft and explains in detail each course that is served. The quality of the fish and other items served is fantastic. We also had the beverage pairing and that is also highly recommended. We will definitely be back.

    At first I was reluctant to go as I'm not really a Sushi Fan, but this Omacase experience was unbelievable and it opened up my eyes to this Asian cuisine. From an Egg Custard to start, to all of the Fresh Fish, to the drinks that were paired perfectly, my taste buds were awaken like they haven't been before! A must try for amy fan of Seafood or Asian cuisine!
