Nami Sushi in Lancaster

Tasty sushi and great ice cream, nice place to go to once in a while. Everything we ordered was fresh and portions were good enough for each person. I don't have much to say about the atmosphere, but the staff were friendly and helpful. Place was quite empty when we were there, so the wait time was not very long. Definitely worth checking out :)

so,I am a student that just moved to Lancaster university. I came in last week. It was pretty quiet. So as expected you would want to revive 5* customer service. And I was so wrong. when I ordered a waitress with brown hair (around 30 years old) served me.I ordered a chicken curry, And… I’m not over exaggerating, she SLAMMED my plate down and looked at me like I’d done something wrong? I was absolutely appalled, at the state of service. as it was not busy at all staff were just standing around. Looking bored and on there phones. There were about 3 other people in the restaurant (excluding me and my friend) the prices are extortionate and not worth the food I had. Overall the general look of the place made it feel quite unhygienic. Not worth going as round the corner there’s a lovely restaurant and a great atmosphere at sushi cat, with staff that care!! Save a trip and your money !!!

Always wanted to go here every time we drive past so decided to go last night. Service was good, food was amazing, lots of choice…to hard to choose. Price is exactly what you would expect and are willing to pay…not too expensive depending what you order and how much of it you order.

Very calm atmosphere and delicious food. Waitress was absolutely lovely.

Upon arrival the restaurant does not look inviting, however on walking in the welcome was excellent, friendly and helpful. Service and attention throughout was exemplary, Lucy was superb, efficient, friendly and very helpful with explaining certain dishes and choosing which Saki to try. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal and thought it was very reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend and come again.

First time and great experience and good food

Bad service and never got my food delivered from the delivery driver

Nami Sushi is a fantastic family run business serving the freshest sushi and sashimi along with great hot dishes. Whilst the menu is smaller than some other japanese restaurants, what they do they do extremely well and the food is always delicious, and the service is always super-friendly. Sit at the belt for a quick meal with friends or (as we prefer) in the more relaxed restaurant half for a great evening out.

One of my favourite places to go in town, the food is always excellent and the staff are sweathearts.

We were on holiday to Morecambe and happened to come across this absolute gem of a restaurant by pure luck when we were visiting Lancaster Castle. The lunch deal is really great value for a light bite. It was the first time that my family had been to a restaurant with the Sushi belt and the choice wasn't too varied but there was enough that was enough to satisfy. Definitely a hidden gem that I would recommend and return to if ever back in the area.

Not much choices on the belt, but tasty

Lovely staff who were attentive and provided recommendations. Will return again!

This is a canned tuna and rice place not a sushi restaurant. Went there on a Thursday lunch time and they won't make hot food plus they were out of salmon. Avoid.

My favourite sushi experience. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is lovely. Even though it’s next to the road, you can’t hear the cars at all. The service is lovely too. I recommend the bento boxes. But it’s all so delicious. Perfect date sport or to get dinner with friends or family.

Excellent foods..tryed lots of different Sushi Prawn tapas hmmm So good 😊😊

My favourite restaurant in Lancaster! Always friendly, always tasty food.

This is my favourite restaurant in Lancaster! Food is delicious, tends to be a lot better served in the restaurant as opposed to takeaway (but both are still good). Particularly recommend the salmon or the katsu curry. Would like to see some more affordable prices but otherwise, it's brilliant.

Unfortunately no longer the same, quality is poor, even how the sushi is made is awful, rolls are uneven, and not together. I ordered Katsu Curry the tofu version, the tofu was greasy and horrible, and the carrots in the curry were raw, usually carrots are cooked within the curry but for some reason they are adding carrots and potato on top of the dish. Horrible. This use to be my fave Japanese place in Lancaster. Service was great, but food is appalling

Felt the need to write a review for Nami Sushi as it deserves to be higher up the rankings! Went early evening for dinner with my two kids, 8 and 10 and sat at the sushi conveyor bar - of course! The food from the conveyor is of a good quality, good variety and frequently topped up. We probably had too much from here, but there was such a lot of choice it was hard not to! We also ordered the chicken katsu curry (offered sauce separately if we wanted, which was nice), seared salmon nigiri and seaweed salad. All was delicious, and the katsu curry was a great sized portion - we all had a taste to help finish it off ;-) Jasmine tea, topped up without asking, plus apple juice and a diet coke. Total cost £52, so not cheap for 3 of us but think we overindulged! Lovely experience, nice relaxed vibe inside with friendly service too. I'm sure we'll be back for a lunch special for £2.50 a portion you can't go wrong!

There are very few types of sushi to choose from at conveyor belt sushi, literally only a few types of California rolls, Tamago Nigiri Sushi, Hokkigai Nigiri Sushi, Sake Nigiri Sushi and Crabstick Nigiri Sushi to choose from. Maybe because I came too early (I arrived at the restaurant at 12 o'clock), and the chef hadn't prepared more types of sushi. Each plate of conveyor belt sushi costs £2.50, but the size is small, the taste is not fresh and not worth the price. The curry sauce from Katsu Curry tastes like just made directly from House's バーモントカレー curry cubes, rather than cooking with your own spices like in Japanses restaurants. At the same time, the curry is not cheap either. I think to buy some バーモントカレー curry cubes and make curry by yourself at home will be better and cheaper tham coming to this restaurant. If you just want to experience the feeling of eating conveyor belt sushi, you can come to this restaurant. But not worth visiting again.

Great experience, great Sushi and great team. Our first trip to nami Sushi in over two years and it was well worth the wait, we can't wait to come back! 02.01.24 We visited on a seemingly quiet Thursday evening, we had the plane to ourselves. Staff were Friendly and helpful, however the food wasn't as good as previous times. There was an inconsistency to the Sushi rolls and the Sushi on the belt was far from fresh. We'll probably be going to Sushi cat next time we have a Sushi craving.

Very cosy and nice mood. The food was really good and the Katsu curry was really well made. I didn’t think it was overpriced and we got quite a bit of food for £30. I did think the service was slow. It was not busy there were a few customers but it took quite a while to get the food even though I had mainly asked for sushis. Still, I really do recommend. It is a cute little restaurant.

Gorgeous food and top ups on the jasmine tea never had to be asked for. Went with my 8 year old. Loves the conveyor belt and the staff all so nice. Clean and a wide variety of sushi and katsu style curry bowls. 4th visit and we will be back

Best sushi around! We came here with our 3 year old who absolutely loves the sushi belt and she ate things she never normally would because of how fun she found the belt. I had the tofu katsu curry which is one of the best I've ever tasted (I lived in Manchester for many years). My husband had a spicy tuna roll which was also delicious and fresh. We had the restaurant for the majority of our meal and it was lovely and calm. We did not find it expensive at all (fresh sushi is always more expensive than chips!!). We can't wait to go back here and will be returning regularly.

The sushi was just OK. Most of the sushi on the belt is cooked though, which is a bit odd. I know you can order from the menu, but it was a disappointing experience. Its overpriced for what it is.

I came at 5pm Saturday, not a lot of people. Nice curry but a bit overpriced, the sushi is good as well. Will come back soon.

The foods amazing if you like sushi it also has different options

Brilliant service and atmosphere, I came here for a birthday meal and we were a big table of 10. Food came out promptly and the staff were very helpful with everything, including taking a picture of us all for my birthday. Will definitely be back again 😁

First time I have eaten Japanese food. The staff were very helpful with explaining the menu and helping me choose. Would definitely go back.

Best sushi in Lancaster. Boppy music could be fun, maybe a sushi belt menu. But absolutely stellar food and service

The Salmon Teriyaki is a good choice for the first-time visitor. The sauce is a perfect match with rice. Together with the sashimi salmon and side dishes, the bento gave me a good experience.

Good food, good service. Went around 2pm on the weekend and It was empty.

Anna and edlie run the show so impressively! Everyone is lovely and I've never left disappointed 💘

Excellent ambience and wonderful food, the whole kitchen is a genius, fantastic service from the lovely staff as well.

Found this place on Google maps looking for sushi in Lancaster. Chose this over another place for the sushi-go-round. It was pretty quiet when we were there. We got some sushi and ordered two hot items from the menu (vegetable gyoza and Ebi Tempura). The hot food was good, but the sushi was middling.

Friendly staff, comfortable and cosy. Had a great, delicious Japanese menu.

Brilliant food with excellent service! 10/10

Decent food with plenty of options at average prices. Good service. The restaurant only had one other table occupied when I came around 7pm, so unless that evening was exceptionally quiet, there should be no need to make a reservation in advance. There is the option to sit on the right half of the restaurant at standard tables or the left beside the sushi conveyor belt. There’s a little notice showing the prices of dishes on the belt according to the plate colour so you can grab anything that takes your fancy and keep the plate to pay at the end of the meal. Personally, I think there were too many dishes on the belt and they would have given a more fresh impression if there were fewer dishes (especially duplicates). Overall, it’s a good restaurant and I’d recommend giving it a try, but I wouldn’t say it’s special.

We went in for a friend's birthday and it was absolutely wonderful. Food was amazing and the staff were so kind and helpful! Can't wait to go back.

Interesting dining experience and a first for me. Alas some of our top choices were off the menu and, as we arrived early doors, the carousel had limited variety. Although it did get busier and more varied later. Enjoyed the various makis and beef katsu curry. Expensive, £100 for 3 dining, but an interesting experience. Staff were very welcoming and friendly.

Delicious food but variable sushi belt - one night great variety, another the same thing over and over. Bento boxes great. Staff faultless.

It was good sushi but the kastu curry was a miss from me. It's also a little bit over priced for what it is. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful though!!

Really nice sushi here, great selection on menu. Staff were really friendly as well. Love the decor, would highly recommend and would go again.

Amazing experience! Really lovely food and attentive staff. Plenty of choice on the conveyor belt. So affordable for all the food we picked at. The mochi for pudding was amazing! Will definitely be returning x

Great sushi and different for the kids. Will be back.

Ordered on uber eats. Delivery was fast however, i ordered 2 tuna makis twice as i didnt want 8, i wanted 4, the staff must've not seen the extra order when packing it so i only received 2. I was however instantly offered a refund for it. Every time i've gone in person and the other time i got delivery, the food and service was perfect. Small slip up today that i'm not worried about. Highly recommend!!

Visited Chester and had lunch here The staff were friendly and welcoming The food were absolutely delicious I'd love to be back again

This was my first time to be the restaurant. The food was wonderful. I think customers got used to Japanese food in Asia may realise how close its quality to the ordinary Japanese restaurant after tasting the food.

Fired beef curry with rice was not with surprise. It’s a just ok Japanese restaurant.

My party of 2 had terrible service here, being refused a booth ‘in case a table of 4 books or comes in and it gets busy’ - shortly after a table of 2 took the booth, and the other booth was also occupied by a table of two! This was also despite my friend having a broken arm and struggling to sit facing the conveyor belt. Our food was served late, after two tables who had ordered after us, and the staff generally were dismissive and rude until we complained. A shame as there is no other sushi in town but not worth going back, and for £45 I would expect much better service.

Nicest restaurant in Lancaster and the nicest sushi we’ve tried and we’ve tried a lot of restaurants. We love coming here and visit often. The restaurant is so clean and the staff are lovely. I visited this evening and left my AirPods and a super kind member of staff ran after me when we left to give them back which they didn’t have to, but it was so very appreciated! Highly recommend. Support your local businesses :)

The food experience is fun, the kids really enjoyed it! But as far as SUSHI goes: The rice is well cooked, not over (common) or under (rare) The temperature control on the sushi was good, it's often served too cold, and this was about right. We are spoiled for choice in Vancouver with Sushi though, and coming to Nami: the rice is too sweet, the fish is not flavourful (missing the brine and umami) the avocadoes are WAY under ripe. The contribution that avocado makes to sushi is an unctuous texture, and rich fats to the lean tuna and salmon. The sweet rice, mixed with no other discerning flavours (other than sauces, which frankly isn't why you eat sushi) made this a miss for me. I've paid much more for sushi, and I've paid half as much for much better quality. At a 480£ meal for eight, (the kids do love sushi, even if they commented on the odd flavor / texture) you have high expectations.

Great food, service and atmosphere! Food is delicious and they have a great range of vegan options.

Had not been here for ages and as always not disappointed.

Lovely environment, great food.

Very disappointed in this place, was so excited to go recently and upon getting there wasn’t too impressed with the place and defo needs some decoration or something but they had a sushi belt so we went, the guy that greeted us was so lovely and was really patient and polite, the sushi was average at best and we were so cramped next to other guests it wasn’t pleasant, we got the Katy’s chicken and honestly it was inedible, so bland, far too hot and crunchy bits in the rice like it wasn’t cooked, for how expensive it is we defo won’t be going back

I was thrilled to see they have a sushi belt! The waiting staff are lovely and attentive and the food delicious. They even welcomed a non fish eater! Veg sushi was fab and I recommend the yuzu sorbet too.

Fantastic sushi restaurant, lovely interior with friendly and helpful staff. The conveyor belt is well stocked with lovely dishes and there is an extensive menu too. There are plenty of vegan and vegetarian options, hot and cold dishes and sides. The food is always delicious, whether you eat in or get a take out. It is a little on the expensive side but well worth it for high quality sushi. My only slight issue with Nami Sushi is that they do not distinguish vegetarian options from meat options on the conveyor belt which can be a little confusing sometimes. My initial instinct was that green plate = vegetarian but upon asking this turns out to not be the case. I wish they could make it slightly easier to distinguish between meat and veggie options but this is not a major issue.

Not all that charming place, but allright food. A bit of overpriced, and they press way too much for the tip

I can’t give this more than a 3. Service was great. Food was ok. I eat sushi a lot. This was nothing special, not bad, no great, but just a meal. I’d possibly go back, as it’s better a greasy food and fast food. If I was at home, there is too many better options, and I wouldn’t return.

Me and my partner really enjoyed the conveyor belt and the sushi was very good quality. The tempura batter on the prawns perfect and the gyozas were also really tasty. Very delicious and presented well, I would highly reccommend this place.

service was good and the sushi was also good. not much else can be said. overall a good dining experience.

Honestly, I don’t know why this restaurant is rated 4.4. Prawns and eels are def not fresh. I even found a salmon bone in my salmon nigiri which is unbelievable. If you have time, you’d better go to Manchester or London for decent sushi restaurants.

First time visit, visited on a Sunday afternoon. Not very busy. Food and service was prompt. Took the sharing platter as unfamiliar with dishes, and a Katsu curry. All were OK. Noise was very loud, and asked waitress to reduce volume of music, as it was oppressive ( heavy rock music, and not appropriate for this restaurant). Doors were open as it was very warm, and traffic noise was loud. Also staff clearing up vacated tables seemed to be oblivious to the clattering noise they were creating. Not the cheapest of places, but food was OK

We visited for lunch and enjoyed the food. Service was good. Would have been nice to have a bit more choice on the conveyor belt and prices for lunch were the same as dinner, so pricey.

Great ambience, super friendly and welcoming staff. The Bento box was lush, especially the seaweed salad in it. Chicken Goyza is a sure winner. Lovely miso soup. Amazingly fresh sushi.

Good choice of food. The sushi is amazing. Welcoming staff always happy to help

A great place to get a quick lunch or a full evening sushi meal. Wonderful atmosphere and amazingly well presented food with a balanced level of taste

Fabulous. My partner and I went for the first time tonight and the food was phenomenal. Great range of vegan options as well. Delish!

Perfect service. Would come back again.

Went a couple of evenings ago, very welcoming staff and enjoyable food

I am very unhappy with my order. I ordered the salmon Platter and Nami Temaki. 1. My first issue was that I was expecting a reasonable amount of sushi for the price I paid instead I only received 8 pieces. 2. The temperature was off. The salmon on the Sushi was warm, above room temperature warm. I know it's hot but this should be kept at an appropriate. 3. The fish was stale and slimy.

Food is delicious, 1st timers ask for advice. So tasty and filling. Can't wait to return.

A bit pricer side. Ambience is quite nice. A great place to hop in when you want to treat yourself.

Great food and atmosphere. The sushi belt is too tempting.

Beautiful soft shell crab tempora, spicy miso rahmen! Relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. Just go 😉

Perfection, I would drive the 2 hour journey from home just to enjoy this again.

Loved the belt so you could just pick off and snack. Great cuisine. will come again.

Pretty sure our bill was £20 above what it should have been, I didn't get a receipt unfortunately, but when i worked it out at home I was concerned. Perhaps food from another table had been added? The food itself was delicious and the staff were lovely. I would still eat here again if we were in the area

Good food, excellent service and reasonable prices

Well worth it very nice great staff but highlight was the sushi it was great and the jasmine tea made it will go there again.

brilliant service!! Brilliant food!! Shaquille was our waiter, lovely gent - tendered to all our needs! Thanks Nami see you again soon

Very poor experience (17/05/2017) slow service, took 20 minutes to get a drink and then take my order, 20 minutes to get a starter, could not order main course as they were closing? - very strange. food was average, service terrible.

Nice Japanese food.Nice services.Good.

If you like sushi and Japanese fusion, this is the place to go in Lancaster :) plus the staff is always very friendly and accommodating.

Great sushi restaurant staff really helpful and pleasant. Food is amazing bento box was great

Absolutely lovely food, great staff and atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back again

Lovely, friendly and helpful staff, delicious food at a reasonable price. We went for lunch on a Wednesday, when the plates on the carousel are all £2. We also had a couple of dishes from the main menu, plus drinks. £33 all in for 2 of us. Highly recommend :-)

Really good Sushi 🍣 great team, friendly and the wife's first experience eating Sushi 🍣 she loved it, would really recommend it to my friends, thanks so much for the eating experience 😁

It's great to have Nami Sushi back. The lunch hours are always great with cheaper plates, however it's still expensive. The food is always fresh, super delicious and there is a great selection to choose from. But make sure you count plates you had as the waiters like adding extras to your bill. It's not nice to argue about your bill.

Absolutely love this place. The service here is 10/10 and the chefs are very generous too! I probably spent more than I can afford in this restaurant. Highly recommended.

Super restaurant 5 minutes walk from the railway bridge. Food was fantastic and the service wonderful. Highly recommended

Absolutely incredible. I've been here from out of town a few times before and they've never disappointed. The prices are a bit high, but I promise you they're absolutely worth it - I spent over £40 this time and I don't regret a penny. The sushi portions are generous for what they are, it's worth having at least one of the more expensive black or red plates just for the experience of how well-crafted they are, and the other dishes they serve are made with a lot of love. I've slept and eaten since I last ate there, and I still remember how good my shrimp tempura, my various sushi plates, and my honjozo wine tasted. Don't feel fooled by the apparently gratuitous Japanese on the menus and decor either - that's not just for show, and does actually say something. To say something back, その昼ごはんはおいしいでしたよ！ Thanks very much, I'll definitely be back, and many more times!

We got our sushi for takeout, we only got a small selection as it was just before we was suppose to go for dinner. Got some california roll, baked salmon roll, avocado and cucumber rolls. Rice wasn’t dry and everything had so much flavour. wish we pigged out and got so much more than we did. We’re not from the area but i’m sure we will be back again to try out that conveyor belt they have..

The sushi was fresh and delicious as were the miso soup and teriyaki donburi!! The staff were very friendly and kind keeping a check on us ! Both women who worked were lovely! We will be back many times !

Food is always 100% - consistently amazing! This is a very modern, clean and exciting place to be. Staff are brilliant, the female manager is lovely and so so hard working! Great chef named James had made some of our food on our visit. Thank you!!!

Yummy, price reasonable and clean environment and services is good

I love coming here! The food is always delicious and the staff are brilliant. The sushi conveyor never gets old either.

Really nice food and reasonable prices Can't wait to return

As you enter you can see the sushi bar on the left and the restaurant on the right. You can order all food in both places so it purely depends on where you want to sit. When we entered we were told we had to sign in either by the app or give our name and address. I am not sure how people will feel about this as restrictions such as this have been lifted at the moment and is no longer mandatory. I completed my name and address as I had the feeling I would not be allowed to eat here if I didnt.  We opted to sit at the sushi bar area as we hadn't booked and liked the idea of just picking up starters as they came around to us.  Prosecco 4.95 125ml measure. I was a nice prosecco but it looked very small due to the bog glasses used so maybe smaller glasses should be used or charge more but fill the glass a bit more as alot of restaurants around here actually go up to 200ml so it's presented better in bigger glasses.  We picked up four sushi plates , two were salmon , one was prawn and one was Eel. All of them had great flavours in the rice and the fish used was seasoned well and you could tell it was great quaility.  Salmon  - nice kick ,good quaility tuna White dish £3.25 Green dish £2.25 Blue dish £4.25 We ordered some Teriyaki dishes as well,  I ordered us the chicken Gyro as she had never tried it and it is one of my favourite dishes. It perfectly cooked abd my friend commented on how tasty it was £4.95 Chicken Teriyaki Bonburi - My friend had it and said straight away it was tasty, she couldn't finish it but she really enjoyed it. £9.45. Prawn katsu I have never had it before so I was interested in trying it,  very nice thick curry abd very good quaility prawbs. Rice was cooked perfectly , great meal. £10.25 Service was strange as some of it was very good such As one young lad checked if our meals were OK and when we requested some wasabi and ginger theyvwere happy to accomodate but we were never asked if we  we wanted another drink ,  if we needed anything else and when we were looking to pay the staff member was a bit blunt that if we were paying by card we had to go to the till in the restaurant, which was fine but there are ways to say things and it came across a bit blunt. The young lad that checked on our food was lovely , he was the only member of staff that showed us much interest. The food deserved a tip but service except one lad did not. As I know the kitchen rarely gets any of the tips in restaurants I didnt feel I could give one on this ocassion.  The food was fantastic!! And the service was not awful but it was lacking on this ocassion except for one member of the team.
