About this place
Dinner at Nami can mean a satisfying okonomiyaki meal or a more varied spread of rice bowls and small plates. Diners have mentioned ordering okonomiyaki, gyudon and gyoza; another evening’s meal included onigiri and a chicken rice bowl. One review described the food as home-style. You could come with a particular dish in mind, then build a meal around it by choosing a few other things that catch your eye.
The okonomiyaki menu includes pork, squid and shrimp, and mixed versions, as well as betayaki and modern-yaki with noodles. Listed prices are ¥600 for pork, ¥750 for the mixed version and ¥800 for modern-yaki. The choices range from a simple pancake to versions with additional toppings or noodles. Yakisoba comes in several varieties, including pork, mixed and salt yakisoba, as well as omusoba, moon-viewing garlic yakisoba and ankake yakisoba. Whether okonomiyaki or a rice bowl takes centre stage, or you add yakisoba and small plates, there is room to choose together with your dining companions.
Drinks include Asahi Super Dry draft beer, bottled beer and a serving of hot sake, offering a few options to pair with dinner. Nami is in Nishikubocho, Nishishichijo, Shimogyo Ward, Kyoto. It opens from 17 to 21 on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and is closed on Sundays and Thursdays. Payment is cash only, so it is a good idea to bring cash.
