Google Review Summary

Nasime Japanese Restaurant in Old Town Alexandria offers an intimate omakase dining experience that consistently impresses guests with its seasonal Japanese cuisine. The restaurant features a rotating seven-course tasting menu priced at $95 per person, with optional sake pairings available. Diners particularly praise the sashimi selections, wagyu beef with truffle sauce, and seasonal fish preparations. The small, cozy space requires advance reservations and operates two seatings per evening. Notable dishes mentioned by multiple reviewers include a standout lamb chop with uni sauce, oyster noodle soup, and various seasonal seafood preparations. The chef's attention to detail and creative presentation draws comparisons to high-end kaiseki restaurants in Japan, though some note the portions are generous by traditional standards. While most diners commend the intimate atmosphere, the primary focus remains on the sophisticated flavor combinations and meticulous preparation of each course.
