Namu is definitely our favourite restaurant is the Greater Hamilton area! We have been here multiple times and have tried most of the offerings on the menu. Everything is absolutely delicious! The chef is also the owner of this small local gem in Dundas and the entire staff is very welcoming. Thank you Namu for many memorable dinners!

This experience is one of a kind. I’ll choose Namu over any fancy garbage restaurant. All the food items were good, but what really stood out was their sushi nigiri. It was so good I didn’t even get a picture of it. When I ate it, all I saw were fireworks, colourful dots, swirls, and jazz music blessed my ears. After that bite, nothing ever felt the same. I need to have it again soon. Definitely worth a try even just for the sushi. The gnocchi was yummy too!

An absolute one of a kind restaurant perfectly located in dundas. I have tried almost everything on the menu, have never had a bad meal. Food is truly exceptional! Staff and service are great, friendly and diligent. This is a frequently attended restaurant for myself, family and friends and I recommend it to everyone! Always great work Eunme & Wonjon!

I came here to celebrate me and my partners anniversary, and we had such a great time! The atmosphere is very cozy which we liked, it felt like we were dining at home. And of course food was delicious!! My favourites were definitely the scallop tartare and the yakisoba! We overheard another table tell the server that they gave a smaller tip to them because they felt that the service was rushed, but I disagree - service was amazing as everyone was so nice and welcoming. The restaurant was definitely busy and we could tell that the servers were a bit overwhelmed but they still provided a great service and attended to us when we needed them. I would 100% recommend coming here but I would suggest making a reservation if you were coming in the evening or on the weekend!

Such an amazing experience! From the quaint atmosphere to the cozy ambiance created by the warm lights, we had a lovely dinner. The food was outstanding and truly unique. Worth every bite! We especially liked the gnocchi - truly a fusion dish. I don't like to come back to restaurants, but this one will be an exception.

Fantastic place, from the service to the food. You definitely need to go and try the amazing dishes at this restaurant. We ordered a bunch of appetizers as our meal. Food came out lighting fast, our server was attentive and super efficient. We are going back in the future to try the other menu items as there were some delicious options on the menu.

Hamilton’s #1 restaurant! The food is innovative, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. We tried a fantastic mix of dishes (kalbi gnocchi, rendang, spicy salmon roll, sushi taco) and each one was bursting with flavor. The burger spring roll was my personal favorite (I forgot to take a picture because we devoured it so fast!), and the chocolate cake at the end was simply immaculate. The service was just as impressive as the food. The staff were warm, attentive, and our dishes came out surprisingly fast despite how busy it was. You can tell they really care about the customer experience. If you're in Hamilton and haven't been yet, you're missing out. Highly, highly recommend!

My boyfriend and I finally got to try Namu after hearing such good things about it. It absolutely exceeded our expectations. It is a very romantic & classy yet homey joint with high quality asian fusion. We tried the lobster shumai & calamari which had amazing flavoured sauce, shrimp bao which was very high quality, and wagyu korean bbq ssam. My favourite was the wagyu meat. It is definitely worth the price, as the quality meets & exceeds it. I recommend getting 2 appetizers & 2 mains. It was perfect portion to enjoy everything. Make sure to book a reservation as they are really popular. We loved it!!!
