Reviews for NAMA in Ashland, OR
Had a truly special night at NAMA with family while stopping through Ashland on a long road trip. Unique, beautiful seafood and... salads paired with pitch-perfect wines and sakes. Sarah and the NAMA staff are so thoughtfully passionate about their craft,and it shows from the moment you walk in the door. Couldn’t recommend NAMA highly enough. Can’t wait to be back! Read more
This place has the "Wow" factor after every first bite! A friend and I decided to head to Nama for a spontaneous dinner. She's... been a few times, but this was a first for me. Every single thing we tried was absolutely amazing. Chef Sarah was excellent andexplained every dish in great detail and had perfect suggestions on pairing sake with the dishes. I am not usually a fan ofoysters, but hell, I guess I am now with them melting in your mouth accompanied by a delicious and complimenting sauce. Thetrout, "Wow!" or on the menu it's called Miso Masu was incredible along with probably the best rice I have ever had. You'lldefinitely be walking out with a smile and wondering how someone can create so many dishes that melt in your mouth with thatkind of flavor. Read more
Cozy and delicious oyster bar in the center of the Ashland scene. Spot on wine selection (they carry some wonderful... traditional-method wine) and I love the bubbles they pair with the oysters. And, their happy hour is not to be missed, it’sgreat to start out or finish a night out on the town. Read more
NAMA is phenomenal. Very fresh and curated with flavors like no other. Made my “pass though” of Ashland a true memory.... Highly recommend passing through this restaurant. Read more
We wandered into NAMA during our stay in Ashland. The raw bar menu is well curated and good for sharing. We ordered almost the... entire menu and everything was so delightfully delicious, highlighting the freshness of the ingredients with clever infusion ofasian flavors. The oysters from northwest are briny and packed with flavors. Also highly recommend the tiger prawns, Kingsalmon, and poke bowl. But you really can’t go wrong with anything. Thanks for the wonderful hospitality! Read more
If I could give Nama a Michelin Star, I would. Luke has crafted an extraordinary experience that cannot be topped. Not only has... he mastered the art of presentation, but he has elevated the world of cuisine with his profound tastes and pairings. Wouldhighly recommend. Read more
As I sit here devouring yet another crab + lil shrimp roll after 18 oysters, I can’t help but close my eyes in such delight... over the sophisticated, beautifully complex flavors of Nama. Make sure to chat with Luke about his ingredients and thoughtprocess; you’ll instantly understand how special this place is. Kelsey (drinks extraordinaire) adds such a warm touch to thisspot! Best way to experience this place is as a party of 2, sharing all iced bentos (the ikura is TO DIE FOR) and platesavailable on the menu. TRY. IT. ALL. They just recently launched an oyster + sparkling wine HH. Take advantage.. it’s a greatintroduction to the simple, clean + modern space, but believe me when I say it’ll leave you craving EVERYTHING on theever-changing, seasonally appropriate menu. Extremely stoked for this place to be here and looking forward to how thisbeautiful place unfolds! *chefs kiss* Read more
This place is a gem. The chef, Sara, is amazing. Really lovely and unusual flavors and very fresh tasty seafood. Friendly... also. Caleb, our cook, kindly got a bunch of shells together for us for our garden. Intimate location, and lined with severalspecies of wood. Read more
