10/10What a wonderful experience. The decor has a stylish simplicity with tasteful contrasting textures and fabrics. We were greeted warmly, and the menu explained to us. Our waitress was a young Filipina woman who could not have been more charming and helpful (wish I could remember her name: evening of Dec 16). And then the food. WOW. Every single thing we ordered was excellent. Our first two dishes were the OPEN YOUR MIND tekoyaki: meat balls filled with octopus sauce, coconut cream, Aonori topping and Kastuobushi. What a great dish: would always be on my must-get list here. With that we got the JAPANESE TACOS Prawns Tempura, salmon tartare, dry tomatoes and guacamole on shrimp chips. Equally delicious and also a must-have. Then followed a large plate, the excellent MORIAWASE SASHIMI (Chef selection according to the market) and because it was a cold night, we got the EXOTIC PAD THAI Rice pasta cooked with fish and vegetables, mint and lemongrass, toasted almond chips. Hot and flavorful. The only beer they had on the menu was Sapporo which went very well with the meal. Excellent experience: if you want a change up from Italian while in Rome - great choice.

10/10I found this place on The Fork because we were looking for a restaurant near the Vatican, as we were trying to visit, and Nakai did not disappoint! The food was excellent here and unique. We had some rolls we have never tasted before -- unique combinations Italian-style. I also had the yakisoba, which was fantastic.

9.5/10The sushi was one of the best I have ever had. I would absolutely recommand this restaurant. Located nearby the vatican but still very quiet. Nice decoration and very friendly owner.

6/10The good location is very close to the Vatican city a nice looking place and has friendly staff, but there were eggshells in the rice. For that kind of restaurant, you must care about the professional kitchen staff.

9/10Great food! We tried the mouth meeting takoyaki, pad Thai, octopus desserts and much more. Everything had its own distinctive taste and was very well presented. The waitresses were very professional and were very attentive to our needs. The only negative thing is that the place was cold when we arrived, we were the first to arrive at 7:15p.m., at our request they immediately turned the heater on but we would have not expected this in a high quality restaurant. Other than this bravo to the the chef Nakai and the staff!

10/10Amazing expirience! Very good ambiance and decoration, but the most important thing is the food and we were not disappointed. We tried a couple of things and all were very tasty! The service was very good as well, the waitress was very kind. We are definitely coming back soon!
