Dami Sushi - Nanaimo

We had a wonderful dinner experience at dami sushi. eating was delicious and beautiful presented, amazing worth for a low price. the service was fast, super friendly and helpful. the atmosphere in the dining area is calm and pleasant. will definitely be back.

Everything on the plate is yummy! even the affenhirn sushi. do not know about this name for a sushi, but it was. the crew is very friendly and are all smileys. they seem to love what they do. very reasonable price too.

Two times in the city stopped! really friendly staff, fast service and good food. the house salad was amazing, miso suppe good, tempura- both herbal and prawn were crispy and tasty. I ordered a lunchbox that comes with a small salad, a mixed tempura and a selection of rolls. also had the dynamit roles and the crazy girl rolling - very good! will go again

Good friendly service, food came very fast! typical Japanese restaurants decor, and reasonable price! 3 of us ordered teriyaki tofu rice, huhn yakiudon, seafood udon nudelsuppe, and assorted tempura, juice beer! very good eating except the huh, a little dry hard.

In our eternal quest for good sushi in Nanaimo, we were guided to Dami by a colleague of my partner. It was a very quiet Monday evening, with maybe a third of the tables in use. The decor is great. Very modern with splashes of culture all around. The menu is huge and made it tough to choose our meal, but after some hemming and hawing we got it down to a good cross section. Their tuna sashimi was wonderful and easily the best we've had in Nanaimo so far. Their assorted tempura is a great value, and is pretty average tempura. Not mindblowing, but certainly no slouch. You get green beans, yam, a prawn, some yam, a broccoli floret and pumpkin. The pumpkin is the standout. Their chicken kaarage is very different from what I've come to expect at sushi places, and was more reminiscent of a chicken nugget, especially coming with honey mustard on the side. Rolls wise, we ordered the Caterpillar roll, the spicy tuna roll, dynamite roll, salmon roll, yam tempura roll and chicken teriyaki roll. The Caterpillar roll was the standout, and was very tasty. The rest of the rolls were all fine but nothing stood out. Both the yam and dynamite rolls were very, very crab heavy, which if you like that sort of thing is probably great, but for us who aren't a fan of it, it was a bit of a surprise. For a plain roll, the salmon roll was a decent size with a big piece of fish. The spicy tuna uses sriracha for heat, as you expect. The chicken teriyaki roll was super boring and could use more teriyaki as opposed to a small splash of sauce on the outside. Sodas are canned pop, so you pay $2 a hit which is one of my pet peeves, but overall it was a good experience and despite the mediocrity of some of the items, Dami has jumped to the top of our list for sushi in Nanaimo.
