Namoo
/Namoo offers a laid back environment for catching up with friends and family with a focus on delicious Japanese food designed to share in comfortable surroundings.
To start there is a smorgasbord of Japanese small eats comprising of tempura, yakitori, sushi, sashimi and the like.
To start we indulged in the sashimi platter which boasted a tenderness exhibited by high quality produce. The seafood tempura that followed was similarly delicious. The tempura batter was ethereally light and crispy. The seafood inside the batter were plump, wonderfully fresh and pleasing.
We absolutely loved Namoo’s range of grilled yakitori skewers. Without exception, each skewer had been sufficiently seasoned and was wonderfully flavoursome and displayed a delectable outer charring courtesy of having benefited from the perfect time on the grill.
For mains the wagyu steak was perfection - Tender and delicious, with caramel undertones courtesy of being cooked in a delicious umami-laden sauce.
Dessert time continued to please with decadent matcha Bingsu, picture-perfect shaved milk ice dish topped with matcha ice cream, red beans, nuts and layers of matcha cream. Just amazing!
Namoo has a band of loyal followers and it is easy to understand why - Japanese food in a welcoming environment and overall pleasant dining experience.
