Nasime Japanese - Alexandria

Overall I enjoyed celebrating my birthday at this restaurant. Some dishes like the asparagus and lamb chop was salty but super flavorful. The portion of the foods were generous. The sashimi portion was also generous and filling. The dessert was underwhelming and salty. Would def recommend the place to reduce less salt. Chef is super nice and friendly! The service was alright since the waitress did not let me sit while I wait for my party and have my reservation on the name. I would not expect this service from an omakase. Overall I still recommend this place!

Fantastic service, food and great chat with the chef. Menu always changes another incentive to come back!Food: 5/5

This was maybe the best food I've ever had. Highly recommend!! The drinks were also delicious. The service was excellent. The atmosphere was a little off, I think the other tables would be perfect but we were seated by a storage door and the drinks refrigerator. I understand it's a small space though.Food: 5/5

Fantastic meal! One of the most memorable dinners in the DMV. Hope to be back soon!

I love Japanese food and this is one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. Their tasting menu was so delightful. Every course had great flavors of fresh ingredients and the waitress always gave a full explanation of each dish. My husband did the sake pairing and really enjoyed the way each glass truly complimented each dish. I had a highball with the Japanese whiskey of the day which was light and refreshing the way they prepared it. The wagyu short rib with truffle sauce was one of the best bites I've ever eaten. I would come back just for that. So glad I put us on the wait-list for this Friday night reservation and a spot became available. I saw couples turned away for dinner because they were full. This place is really small and maybe seats 10 people so there are probably very few opportunities to just walk in and sit down. I would highly recommend making a reservation well in advance. Also do not come here to dine unless you have time to really sit and enjoy your meal. The courses come out slowly. We had a 6pm reservation and didn't get up to leave til around 8:30pm. The meal is well worth the time and money.
