Nasime Japanese Restaurant - Japanese restaurant in Alexandria - 1209 King St, USA

I love omakase style and this meal did a great job bringing many of the fall flavors of Japan out. It brought my husband and I back to our honeymoon. The food was tasty and the server was friendly. They were able to accommodate my dairy limitations and provided an equally amazing dessert for us. I would absolutely recommend it

Small restaurant with clean aesthetic. Had reservations for dinner. The tasting menu had a variety of seafood and other meat dishes. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great. Would definitely return.

Overall I enjoyed celebrating my birthday at this restaurant. Some dishes like the asparagus and lamb chop was salty but super flavorful. The portion of the foods were generous. The sashimi portion was also generous and filling. The dessert was underwhelming and salty. Would def recommend the place to reduce less salt. Chef is super nice and friendly! The service was alright since the waitress did not let me sit while I wait for my party and have my reservation on the name. I would not expect this service from an omakase. Overall I still recommend this place!

The food was not good. The waitress shamed us for not finishing courses, but kept our water glasses full. The restaurant atmosphere is really nice. But if you sit at the bar, you'll hear him doing dishes.

Nasime is an excellent representation of Japanese cuisine and reminds me of the intimate kaiseki restaurants I enjoyed while living in Japan, but with creative touches that elevate the food beyond traditional presentation. There is a set menu of 7 courses for $95/pp, which I think is an excellent value given the high quality of the food and the opportunity to enjoy Japanese dishes that aren’t usually served in the US. The menu is always changing because of its focus on seasonal ingredients. They serve kettl tea, which is an excellent shop in New York that works directly with small producers in Japan. The restaurant has limited seating so reservations are recommended.

This is the best restaurant on King St. In old town. This is a must visit establishment in Alexandria. Always delicious always unique. The quality of the cuisine is top notch. Get a reservation early! Smaller establishment with fewer tables and two seatings nightly. You need to plan ahead to get a table. It’ll be worth your time. You will not be disappointed.

I love Japanese food and this is one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. Their tasting menu was so delightful. Every course had great flavors of fresh ingredients and the waitress always gave a full explanation of each dish. My husband did the sake pairing and really enjoyed the way each glass truly complimented each dish. I had a highball with the Japanese whiskey of the day which was light and refreshing the way they prepared it. The wagyu short rib with truffle sauce was one of the best bites I've ever eaten. I would come back just for that. So glad I put us on the wait-list for this Friday night reservation and a spot became available. I saw couples turned away for dinner because they were full. This place is really small and maybe seats 10 people so there are probably very few opportunities to just walk in and sit down. I would highly recommend making a reservation well in advance. Also do not come here to dine unless you have time to really sit and enjoy your meal. The courses come out slowly. We had a 6pm reservation and didn't get up to leave til around 8:30pm. The meal is well worth the time and money.

Amazing food. I've been here twice and both times have been extremely memorable dining experiences. Great place to celebrate special occasions.
