Ordered through Uber eats. I ordered the chef's sashimi combo, spicy salmon roll and pork cutlet rice bowl. By far the sashimi combo was my favorite. Fresh end of good portions. The spicy cinnamon roll was tasty as well. The pork cutlet rice bowl was not bad, there was a generous portion of pork cutlet which was a little bit soggy because of the sealed packaging, I may have appreciated if they cut a hole on the top cover to let out some of the heat. Otherwise the rice seemed a little packed though I did appreciate the amount that was given. Taste was great. Definitely would consider reordering though.
I recently dined at Noodle Nami and found the service to be prompt and friendly. The staff were attentive and made sure we were well taken care of throughout our meal. The atmosphere was amazing, and the place was very clean, adding to the overall dining experience. However, I was disappointed with the Chicken Miso Ramen. The taste was not up to par, and it had an odd aroma that detracted from the overall experience. Similarly, the Osaka Noodles also had a peculiar flavor that didn't quite sit right with me. While Noodle Nami offers excellent service, an amazing atmosphere, and cleanliness, the taste of the Chicken Miso Ramen and Osaka Noodles left much to be desired.
I love the food here, the quality of the sushi is excellent and all the dishes are excellent and fresh. Only they charged us 15% service fee and asked for tip too!
It was a rainy day when we visit, perfect time for a bowl of ramen. Supposed to order Tonkatsu Ramen but some of the ingredients is not available so we end up ordering just Saigon Beef Pho and some maki. Ask for extra water with no ice waited but not served. We just ask another glass of water before we left. The menu is smelly hopefully they clean it regularly.
The steaming hot dishes left me in awe, especially given my petite frame – the ramen we indulged in could easily satisfy two! The kimchi creation was a true masterpiece, and not to forget, the edamame added an extra layer of enjoyment alongside the delightful ramen and pho. 🍜
Had an overall negative experience trying Sushi & Noodle Nami today. Came here for lunch with my husband for his break at work. Took over 30 minutes just to get a few glasses of water. Had to ask when the waters were empty (after 1 hour of waiting) for a refill. We waited over an hour and a half for our order of 2 soups and pork wontons. We were also not given an update by the server as to how long it would take to receive our food. The wontons were cold when they came to the table. We ate them anyways because we were starving. The flavors were good, just not warm at all. The Beef Pho broth didn't have much more flavor than beef stock from a box. Adding hot sauce and hoison did little to save it. The meatballs tasted like Styrofoam. The noodles, onion, and beef brisket were good. The Hokkaido Winter soup was a bit better. The slices of tofu were quite large, and there was only 2 shrimp and 4 pieces of squid in the dish. Was expecting a little more seafood and less tofu, but that could be a personal preference. The server did give us a 15% discount for the slow service which was appreciated. She was kind in her demeanor and seemed to geniunely feel bad about the wait. I'm not sure if we would go out of our way to go back, as we've had better service and food at other establishments. My recommendation to the owner would be to add more staff for busy times to create a better experience for guests.
First time visiting this restaurant. Met with a smile and the service continued to be top notch all the way through our visit. Portions were more than generous. Our meals were delicious. Will definitely visit again. 10/10
By far one of my favorite Japanese restaurants in St. John’s, my miso chicken ramen was super flavorful and our Sushi combo had very fresh, tasty maki, sashimi and nigiri. The pork dumplings were killer and the overall service was enjoyable and friendly. Would recommend 100%
Absolutely bad service. The girl at the bar has no good behavior
Excellent sushi and ramen. Ramen is the real deal not westernized stuff like badbone ramen.
Ive never had a bad meal here. Everything is top notch each time I visit and the staff are wonderful.
Ingredients are the same as Costcos frozen foods
Unfortunately these were the worst rolls in a long time. The filling is very little, the rolls themselves are very small, the quality of the fish in the rolls disgusting rice disintegrates, one kind of rolls cut arbitrarily but different sizes. Alas very low quality
Been going here for many years now and Reanne, who is so lovely, usually serves me. Best and only place I know for spicy miso soup. Very accommodating and I like the quiet, cozy atmosphere.
Bomb dot com. Staff great too
Not again. Service is too late. We call order in advance and it was serve on time but we add sushi roll and took more than 30minutes. Staff are just giggling and chatting until i approched them about the order. Ever since the lady that serves is not friendly since 2years ago but we pass on it maybe she had bad days. But we notice that shes friendly with people having nice clothes, she greets and smile. But for us simple worker taking our break she is bland and you can feel something wrong. We will not come back here.
Had a very negative experience at noodle nami. We came as a group of 6 and the food took over 40 minutes to come and only two of us got their food. Another 40 min passed before another two plates came and more time passed before the last two got fed. Service was poor, no water refills, no cutlery served for everyone. Food was very mediocre and definitely overpriced for the quality. Tasteless and cold. Japanese cheese cake was not Japanese cheese cake at all! It was normal cheese cake and a VERY small slice of a cheese dessert with no crust to even resemble regular cheesecake. Would not be going back.
First time coming here but food was very good.
As someone who s been to Japan, this restaurant is easily the best sushi in St. John s. I love that their focus is on fresh quality fish and just so focused on flavour rather than crazy/weird/inventive rolls. Their sashimi is also amazing and incomparable to any other sushi restaurant in town.
This is the second time we ve went to noodle nami with a very sour waitress. The first time, we thought maybe they might ve been too busy or had a rough day so we let it slide. This time, they didn t even hesitate to speak to us in a rude tone and rolled their eyes at us which was very disheartening. What a way to ruin the festive spirit.
Good food and amazing situation-handling by the manager. Thank you!
I cant really comment on the atmosphere, as I was there for takeout, but the food is amazing and the service I received was great too! This was my first time having ramen and it wont be my last, nor will it be my last visit to Noodle Nami. Highly recommended.
I go here almost every weekend and get either the Cantonese pride or Osaka twist
Wheelchair accessibility: Elevator access through the main building entrance. Food
Staff is so nice, always remember me and food is awesome.
The staff is super friendly and the food was great!!
Consistently good food. Singapore Princess snd Tonkotsu ramen are family favorites
Dont waste your money on these overpriced mediocre tasting noodles. They were bland and far from authentic. The sushi was even worse, try not to get anything raw as they are not fresh at all.
Truly Delicious Pork Cutlet, from tip to toe the dish doesnt stop impressing. Thanks for the Meal!
This was my go to sushi spot but things are going downhill. First incident was getting a call from the restaurant asking me to come back, i was given the wrong order. Then my daughter received spicy pork tonkatsu when she ordered not spicy. They admitted fault when we returned for non spicy. I then noticed on another order that the sashimi quality was off, some of it was smelly and ive not ordered sushi there since. My daughter picked up an order there more recently and halfway home with her order, she gets a call from the restaurant saying she was given the wrong order, she had to go back. 20 minute supper delay and they took the extra items meant for someone else. Her supper was, they should have just given her the food and made fresh for other client.
Eat here all the time. Great food at a very reasonable price
This is the worst ramen shop Ive ever had! First of all, the service is terrible. I waited for a long time and no one came to order! In addition, the noodles of tonkotsu ramen have obviously been stored for a long time and have been soaked badly! If you want to have porridge, come here. The pork bone soup is not rich either! The only thing worth it is probably the fried pork cutlet, which is delicious!
Deluxe and assorted sushi combo was delicious, as well as New Delhi vegetarian curry. However, service was a little slow and the teacups were uncomfortably hot to touch. (microwaved?) Vegetarian options: New Delhi curry vegetarian
Excellent food!!! Great and friendly service 7/27/23...Definitely recommend my friends to come
The location is abit out of the way but noodle Nami is pretty good, I miss sushi Nami but thats okay.
Love the food and the service
The food is good but their service is bad. The waitresses dont even acknowledge you properly and speak to you in a rude way which makes dining in uncomfortable. They are always in a nonchalant bored mood. You will feel like a liability when you go to dine in. Bad customer service overall.
I have got to say, if you like sushi, nigiri and ramen. Try Noodle Nami is Churchill sq. The food is phenomenal. I ve been here like 50 times since we discovered it since we found it last year. 5
Delicious food, very attentive server who was super friendly and knowledgeable! I love the atmosphere of this place
I love it.
First time visiting this restaurant. I ordered raman taste it yummy so made me feel like went i travel at japan. Would like to recommend raman.
Cozy little ramen shop with affordable prices and kind staff; definitely recommend!
F****n love this place!!!!!!!!
Love the variety & freshly made sushi & Ramen. Go to for something different. Order via phone or online. Eatin, or Pickup orders, depending upon covid conditions
Its a place you can hang with your friends and family. Cool ambience, nice service, delicious food.
It might be one of most uncomfortable dines Ive ever had! The funny thing is that the manager was screaming and treating terrible at their staff and I could see how they were not having it. Food was okay but I just cant stand watching people get treated so badly! At the end I rushed eating and will never go back!
Well now in their defense I did get it to go. But the dumplings were VERY greasy. And there was absolutely no taste of curry in the curry rolls. Additionally, while trying to dip the rolls....all the filling fell out. I think I will give it a wide berth.
Food
Delicious and good quality food, very cute cafe style, and the employees are wonderful too. My favourite place to eat in all of St Johns.
Good service! Fast service! Best ramen in town. ( )
TLDR: Foods amazing. Service as well. Will be returning. I had the seared tuna. Which they served sliced very lovely and plated well. It was a feast for the eyes as well as the palate. Also had the salmon eggs nigiri. Which was incredible. The rice was well seasoned. Really good rice! The eggs were amazing as well though!! Marinated to perfection! I also had a bowl of their Pho which was also very good. My dining companion had the wonton noodles. BIG portions here for the price. Which I didnt complain about. :) The waitress was very kind and attentive 5/5! One of the chefs even spent a few minutes enlightening me on how he got the salmon roe to taste so good. lol Awesome little spot and one of my favorites in St.johns now.
My daughter decided to treat herself to chicken Ramen. She was quite excited because she loves Ramen. The Ramen was horrible everything was drenched in oil , bare minimal veggies, no flavour and two tiny bite size pieces of chicken. We had to actually look for it..we thought they had forgotten it.. Not sure if it was an off day but for 17 dollars she was afraid of getting sick from all the oil and threw it into the garbage plus there wasn t much food in the bowl besides stuck together noodles and an egg . .We would of returned it for our money but we live in mount pearl and didn t realize until we got home. Hopefully the restaurant was just having an off day because it was a cute little venue. Not sure we would return though.
The whole place is well decorated and our server was polite and helpful. However the food was kind of mediocre and didn t taste very authentic. The ramen noodles didn t have the consistency that I was used to from other restaurants and the egg had a funny texture. The broths were all pretty similar despite ordering three different soups for the ramen. However, the price isn t too bad.
Great food, and very friendly staff.
We had the curry golden rolls (beef curry egg rolls) and they were fantastic. We also had the tonkotsu ramen and Mr Taiwan ramen which were also really good but not at all spicy even though we did request that option. The staff were really nice and service was quick.
Delicious sushis. I order there every weekend. Much better than sun sushi & sushi island.
Very disappointed with our meals. Our appetizer was so salty it was almost inedible. The noodles in the entrées were over cooked and we had to ask for chili sauce to have a flavour other than salt. The appetizer was the Sichaun dumplings, which would have been good if not so salty. We ordered the Sichaun Dan Dan and the Hong Kong Balloons
This is the best sushi restaurant in St. Johns. By far. Im glad a place like this exists here because I was desperate to find myself always choosing between the very average places that exist in town. What I find crazy is that they managed to make better sushi than any specialized competitor in town, even if noodles and ramens are their signature main courses, and with all for very affordable prices. I order from them very regularly (2 times a week) and their sushis are always fresh! Never disappointed. I didnt taste their other dishes, but as for the sushis, good job, its excellent !
Rude server
My favourite place to eat in all of st johns! The tonkatsu pork ramen (idk how to spell it) is amazing ive ordered it like 9 times
Try the fish ramen.
Lovely place to hangout! The food was amazing! Loved their service so much. It s surely one of my favourite go to places!
This place is absolutely amazing!! I tried their stir-fry noodles, gyoza and their veg California roll!! All of it was so good, especially the gyoza, we ordered a second round of it!! Along with the food, the place is extremely well decorated. I loved the little salad that came in at the beginning and the lemon water with the food was cherry on top. I would love to come here again!!
Noodle nami is the best place to have sushi and ramen! Love their service so much! Their employees behaviour are nice too! One of their assistant chef Aman, He is the nicest person i have met! His behaviour is so kind and humble also his service is best too!
This is my favorite spot to bring friends when we have lunch dates. We are always pleased with the food and the staff. Thanks for being reliably wonderful! Dietary restrictions: A great gluten free menu!
Tucked away in Churchill square, this is a gem of place. Decent portions and tasty food. Vegetarian options: Some vegetarian options
The service was great, the Beef Cantonese Pride with crispy noodles was delicious and the portions are large. Will definitely be back again!
Delicious food and good service
Absolutely addicted. Delicious, affordable and there isnt a long wait. Staff are friendly and can make recommendations if youre new to ramen. Miso chicken, pork gyoza and the green tea cheese cake are to die for.
The Chicken Miso and gyoza were incredible! I highly recommend it!
I love in Calgary and suppose I am sppiled by all thr amazing ramen noodle houses there. I have had to remain in NL due to covid for work and have been really wanting a good bowl of ramen. First I tried Bad Bones ramen on water street and was terribly dissappinted. This eve I tried the tonkatsu ramen from noodle nami and it was even worse. Broth was extremely bland... really dissappointed. Pork gyoza was very plain. Pretty sure the sauce it came with was pretty much soy sauce. Would be great if some authentic ramen, sushi, and vietnamese restaurants would open in St. Johns.
So good I s&!# myself. 10/10 will do again.
Tasted great!
Good food and really good service.
Great food and ambience. Talk to the person before ordering the food geat idea what it is like and get your food. That way u will definitely have a Greta food experience here
Very underrated! Wish I discovered this place sooner. Ramen is better than Bad Bones and their menu is bigger too. Great customer service as well.
I ordered the Tonkotsu Pork Ramen and got a healthy portion with astonishing presentation. The flavor of the broth packed a punch and the noodles soaked it up while keeping the perfect texture. My main server, Rianne, was a blast to be around and made sure there was nothing I needed! The way the business was running, youd never guess she was the only one working. 10/10 experience in both food & customer service
Nice experience with my family..the staff was supper nice and the food was excellent!!
The best Asian restaurant in Newfoundland so far. The portion is very generous for the price (compared to other Chinese restaurants in town) Food tastes very good. The DanDan noodles is excellent. Lots of noodles. I just wish they give more vegetables for that. The soup is kinda salty for my taste but I guess its because I dont season my food much
Try the NAMI BUNS!
Food is good and severe is great
Best sushi in town
Delicious food, large portions, and fantastic service. We had philadelphia rolls and tonkotsu ramen that was served within minutes of having our order taken. Cant wait to try more on their menu!
I had the Pork Tonkotsu and it was delicious! Make sure to ask for it Spicy for a flavour boost! Ive enjoyed it every time Ive had it!
Really good ramen and noodles. Excellent service and knowledgeable staff. The Environment was a vibe and it just felt right.
Delicious, reasonably priced, large portions and an amazing staff! Love this place!
This is the perfect little restaurant, tucked away inside the building in Churchill Square. The food and service was amazing!
Picturesque food and just as tasty! They have amazing beef ramen, chicken miso soup and the pork gyoza is a must try! Great quick service as well.
Amazing food.Outstanding service
Fantastic noodles and reasonably priced. Apps are great as well
Delicious food!
Great service and prices. Huge gluten free selection offered and were extremely careful in every step to make sure my food was safe from the others. Even bagged my to-go bag first so that we wouldnt mix them up at the table. Will go back for sure
Good Service and tasty meals
Excellent service. Will come back
Great service. Very tasteful meal at reasonable prices.
First and last time eating at Noodle Nami. My wife found a hair in her stir fry, which ruined our appetite, but the way it was handled ruined our entire experience. Her stir fry wasn t good to begin with. The beef was spongy, and the sauce tasted terrible. When we found the hair, the waitress was not phased, didn t apologize, just scooped away her food and took it off the bill. I couldn t eat mine after and asked her to take it away but was still charged for the food I did not eat. The waitress said that s the policy it s all she can do. No manager came to apologize or try to make it right. It was a totally awful experience. We will never be back.
Not the best tasteing noodles, id rather store bought Mr.noodles
Good food fast service
You get what you pay for! Ive been to this restaurant a few times and Ive also had their take out. It is by far the best tasting Asian cuisine Ive had on the island! The ingredients are always fresh and in great portion! The take out is well packaged with the broth and toppings separate so you can enjoy it at its best at home or at work! Staff is friendly and helpful. Atmosphere is great and parking is easy to come by. Located underneath Smithys, you wont be disappointed! -Stephen
Just had a great meal first time there I ll be back
Excellent food and service!
The ramen was so good
Wow
Was excellent
My favourite is Hokkaido Winter! SO delicious!
Noodle NAMI is a must have! Delicious food! The miso ramen is to die for. The atmosphere is very enjoyable. The prices are really good for the large portion you receive.
Large portions and good food. Service is quick and polite. Great for dates or to go with friends!
Great food and great service!
Perfect... must be tried If I want to choose one restaurant in St. Johns, I will defiantly go with Noodle Nami Great atmosphere, Healthy meals, and more importantly friendly servers. Tonight we order a new food that we did not try that before, but we did not like taste, noting wrong with the food, we just did not like it, and she changed the food with no hesitation, We back there again and again.
Great service and food. Try the deep-fried baby octopus!
Great little place
Great little place. Service was awesome and the food was delicious.
And place is nice and the service is good however the food wasnt that great...
Absolutely fantastic. One of the top places to eat in the city. The food had so much flavor and the service was exceptional. The Sichuan DanDan noodles had the perfect amount of spicy. Well certainly be heading back soon.
Great place with fantastic staff. The food was delicious its definitely one of the best places to get Ramen!
The beef Cantonese Pride was great and our server was excellent.
Another tasty meal @ Noodle Nami.
Great place. Very yummy
Service is amazing and food is great!
delicious and great service. meals were very filling. definitely going again!
Food is really good. The people working there are really friendly and Charming
I was so glad to find this noodle restaurant in Churchill Square. I do not have to go to downtown where is difficult to parking, I can find a lot of free parking here. I had a sea food noodle soup for lunch today. The restaurant is nice and clean, service is good, food is good quality and adequate quantity, Only the price is a bit high. I guess the rent here would not be cheap.
Excellent!!!
Fantastic food and super nice staff. and they have Sapporo so what else could you really ask for? 5/5!
I loved the place! The food was fantastic! But there are things that they can inprove on. Service takes a bit of time, and the seating arrangement can also be improved. Overall it is a place not to miss!
Great food and service!
One of a few places to go for Asian noodles in St Johns. Great food, amazing service and atmosphere. Thank you!
Great food and service.
Good service, good atmosphere no loud music, quality food and a reasonable price point
The restaurant is authentic Chinese, Japanese and Korean food. Never thought Id have such delicious Asian cuisine in St.john. The price is really cheap compare to restaurants on water street like 10$ less per plate. Good job guys! The environment is clean and fresh with cute decor. Good lightings and well designed menu. Simplistic but well explained for each item on the menu. The staff is super friendly. This restaurant is popular everywhere it opens. It is really good. The chicken is very fresh. The menu is very unique, the soup is delicious, and the price is very affordable. There is a big bowl of soup noodles that I cant finish. It s a great place to eat and a place to eat! It s a great place to be in a mall, it s a great place to be, it s a great place to be, it s a great place to be, it s a garante, it s a great thing, it s a manger. Des repas aussi authentique et délicieux.
