Namba Ramen & Sushi - Naples

Caitlin Bullock 3 weeks ago

STOP, DROP, AND GO! I have literally just left the restaurant and, somewhere in the world, the world’s smallest violin is playing because I already miss this place! I am not exaggerating when I say we ordered almost half the menu, from appetizers to Nigiri to Ramen, and every single dish was phenomenal. We sat at the sushi bar, which I now believe is the only way to do this right, and the degree of care and focus that goes into every step of preparing the food is mind-blowing. You can tell that the Chef is remarkably dedicated, and the entire staff was friendly, attentive, and made great recommendations! I could turn this review into a blog post, but I’ll let you discover the experience for yourself, which you SHOULD do as soon as possible! It feels like an understatement to call this place a hidden gem, but it’s unassuming exterior, relaxed atmosphere, and *phenomenal* food and service make this place a must-go destination for locals and out-of-towners! So, yes, you may have to wait to be seated, and yes, it is not cheap, but it is the best food I’ve had in the Naples/Fort Myers area. You won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience! Exceptional service. Staff went above and beyond to help me out with my celiac disease and make sure I was able to eat something that didn't make me sick. They were aware of possible cross contamination and everything was prepared so well. (I only wish there were more than three options on the menu that were naturally gluten -free). Our server Nambia was such a joy! Will be back again!

I adore this cozy little slice of food heaven! That first bite of Berkshire Pork Belly Bun put a spell on me and I've been tasting my way through the menu every chance I get! My Hakata Classic was full of flavor and cooked to perfection! The service was fast and friendly from beginning to end.

If you’re craving Aburi that literally melts in your mouth, look no further than Namba! The salmon belly and Wagyu Aburi are absolutely unforgettable. They also have a fabulous white wine selection that pairs perfectly with the fresh fish. The service is fantastic. Gilbert and Maria will take great care of you.

Very crowded around 6pm but worth the wait! The host and wait staff were very accommodating and friendly. Standout dishes included the tuna crispy rice, Japanese mackerel nigiri, and the green tea creme brulee. We also split a few sushi rolls as well a bowl of ramen. Prices are a little on the higher side but everything was well prepared and incredibly delicious. Would definitely recommend to any fans of Japanese cuisine!
