As the opposite of all-you-can-eat, Nadaman specializes in what the Japanese call “Kaiseki-ryori,” perhaps the most formal of all Japanese meals.

    Great sushi and sashimi served here. Experts in omakase, much of the seafood is imported from Japan at Sushi Oyama but is still just as fresh. If you choose the omakase option, you’re at the mercy of the chef’s choice of dishes. But you certainly won’t be disappointed. In addition to sushi, there are some fine starters and desserts too. Both the quality of the food and the service are impeccable. ... read more >
