I guess it should have been a big red flag when I was the only one there for lunch at noon. Staff was decent, service was just ok. Prices decent. Ordered a lunch combo. Wasnt asked about which dressing I wanted on the salad. Neither was good. I sat at the bar where you can see the prep and pretty much everything. The wooden boat the sushi was served on had definitely seen better days, looked busted and old, wasnt sure how well it could be cleaned between dining :/ The sushi rice tasted old, the ingredients in the display didnt look fresh as the avocado was starting to turn color, the color of fish was off. The actual sushi rolls were cut into very large pieces, way bigger than traditional bite sized. The presentation looked thrown together, like it didnt matter to anyone. Everyone just went back to reading their books when I was served. No refill on water was offered, never asked how everything was. Sitting at the bar, I could see the dirty sinks with various splats on the walls, filthy toaster ovens and equipment with old aluminum foil wrappings (not sure what they were doing in a Japanese restaurant). Lighting was dim, decor is old and has definitely seen better days. Definitely wont be back. Ill grab a hotdog at the gas station before wasting time in there again.

Weve been to Sushi Nami a number of times and always love it . If youre looking for atmosphere, it has none, but everything else is top notch. The service is excellent, the food is fresh and delicious and the value is hard to believe. My husband and I shared one of their lunch specials, which includes sushi, sashimi, nigiri, California roll and shrimp tempura. There was also a salad and soup and the total including tea came to $10. We were both full and couldnt get over what a great meal we had for so little money. In past visits, we tried a lot of other dishes and were never disappointed. Their boat with sushi, sashimi and tataki tuna for one is more than enough for two. If you want the best Japanese food in the Upper Keys, Sushi Nami is the place to go.

I live full time in Key Largo, and this is one of our favorite restaurants -- probably our favorite Key Largo restaurant. There is no ambiance, no atmosphere, but everything else is five-star, ten-out-of-ten, A+. The menu is extensive. The food quality is absolutely the best, freshest. The preparation is perfect. The service is down-home and caring. The value is probably the best in all the Keys. For Japanese food, hot and cold, cooked and raw, it is unbeatable. The servings are huge, so share. When you share, the prices go from fairly low to unbelievable. My favorite is the (cooked, hot) beef negimaki (beef-and-scallion rolls), but all the sushi and special rolls are excellent. Try the almond shrimp; you wont be disappointed.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS How does this place even have these scores?? The reviews are absolutely everywhere on this. The service was the best aspect and it was incredibly rushed and we were literally the only 2 people there. The food was bland, zero dynamite in the dynamite rolls. I would have felt safer from splinters if Id gone out and gotten branches from a random bush to use instead of their crap quality chopsticks. The salt shaker was caked in crap, the menus were sticky, the walls were filthy, even the water glass had caked on crap. Im 15 minutes of of that place and Im already feeling sick.

Ever since my family bought a vacation home in Key Largo in 2000 we have always stopped by Sushi Nami when we visit. It is such an excellent place. The food is always fresh and tasty. The inside is small but quaint. The service is a bit slow, but that is typical of the region, not just the restaurant. I have NEVER had a bad experience here and must have eaten here about 12x a year for the past 9 years. I went there over the weekend and noticed they have made a few upgrades to the inside, which is always a good sign. Just try this place, you will love...espacially the OCEAN ROLES!!!!

I look forward to eating here every trip (about monthly). The food is AMAZING! Always fresh and delishous. One of our favorites is the spicy tuna salad! It makes the 90 minute drive from Miami worth it. The wait staff is friendly though dont expect anything resembling a smile from the sushi masters. The only real disappointments are the decor and general cleanliness of the seating areas. I dream of doing a makeover of the restaurant every visit.

This place has a humble decor but is off the chart with quality and quantity. Get the Special Salmon Skin Roll. Its an extravaganza of flavors along with a bonus pile of crispy skin on the side that doesnt fit in the roll. The rice... OMG...The sushi rice is as good as it gets. The chef really knows whats important in a roll. Take it from a sushi perfectionist that makes my own sushi because most others fall short... this place is A-mazing!

This is not just one of the best, its the best, best sushi Ive ever had. I went there pretty often. Everything is so fresh and they had so many special manu. I always get the same menu everytime. Just try Dynamite appetizer, octopus salad, bake mussel, dragon roll, crazy roll, sashimi, tempura shrimp, and deep fried ice cream for dessert ! I love it ! You can count on me with this :D

Worst meal I have ever ate! Bland with way to much batter on everything. The veggies looked like scraps coated in tons of batter to make them look bigger?? I could not even taste the shrimp once I peeled off all the batter. When I was finished my plate had one massive pile of batter on it, no way was I going to put that in my body!! Gross, never again.

This must be the dirtiest restaurant I have ever been in. Food was a bit plain for my taste and I think it was a bit bad (spoiled) the sushi was good I admit but I just cant get over the dust and mold everywhere so black and visible I was disgusted Im not even talking about the restrooms. If you want to dine out I would definitely not go back there!

RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! Do not eat here!! I got severe food poisoning on 8/24/2016. After spending a entire day of my vacation throwing up and feeling awful, I spoke with some of the locals who laughed when I told them that I ate here. They said the restaurant had a horrible reputation. I can see why.

Love this place. Very warm and low key. Delicious sushi. Weve been several times over the years. Were vegetarians and come to Key Largo to dive and come to Nami to chow down after a full day of diving! Nice guys behind the bar.
