    Fabulous - we loved sitting at the bar & watching the chef create & plate all the different courses.

    Nasime is a small sized Japanese restaurant with a totally new concept – upscale Japanese cuisine at a casual price. It is a five course meal & the menu changes daily. Food is wonderful, fresh & if you have any dietary or food issues let...More

    One of the best Japanese Restaurants in the Country

    I never come to Alexandria or the DC area without visiting this restaurant. The service is excellent, the setting wonderful and the food perfection. The menu is fixed but they will accommodate food allergies. They have an excellent selection of sake which I like to...More

    Japanese fine dining at reasonable prices

    Walked past this nondescript restaurant while taking a late night stroll through old town Alexandria and decided to try it the following evening for dinner. It sits a limited number of people (I estimate max of 15) and there's 1 waiter, a chef and an...More

    The wonder of well prepared food

    An exquisite evening to celebrate our anniversary was supported by the delightful food of Nasime! The fixed price menu delights from beginning to end and is reflective of seasonal food. I loved the noodle soup with clams and duck. The broth was so flavorful. My...More

    Out of this world

    This restaurant is amazing!!! I has a minimalist menu. 5 courses. The food is prepared by the chef-owner on the spot. Friendly staff. Small and cozy.

    Best in Alexandria

    This is the best restaurant that I've encountered in Alexandria. Truthfully, it may be the best restaurant that I've been to in the DC area, and I have been to several of the Michelin Star winners. The food is off-the-charts creative and delicious. Nasime runs...More

    Stunning

    This is a fixed price Japanese restaurant with wonderful food. I can't recommend it highly enough. We were served multiple small dishes, including the lightest tempura I've ever had, delicate miso soup, fresh tuna, uni, and duck in a wonderful sauce. They were able to...More

    Excellent

    Great place and very quiet setting. It has a set menu (for $48/person), and everything was excellent and complementary to each other. Highly recommend this place.
