But we did go to one sushi place in Bergen (which is right on the coast) called Nama Sushi which I found some people on the Internet said it was the best sushi place in Bergen…
It was a big disappointment.
I would probably say the biggest part of the disappointment was the service. The sushi was ready and the plate was on the counter, but none of the waiters/waitresses would bring it to our table. I don’t remember how long we waited but having fresh fish sitting on the counter is not considered ideal to promote its taste. It’s not as if the restaurant was crowded (we arrived in the early evening) or we were tucked away in the corner (we were probably 15 feet away from the counter). I was wondering if it was self-service or something. Finally, one of the servers decided to look at whose order it was sitting on the counter and then brought it over to us. Later when the restaurant got more crowded, I noticed they still did the same thing with other orders as well. Finally, one of the reviews on the Internet said the chocolate fondant was also very good there, so I ordered it. I don’t remember exactly how long I waited, but it was in the neighborhood of 30 minutes (OK, maybe not have been 30, but somewhere around that magnitude, so at least around 20) and no sign of the dessert, I then decided to cancel.
As with other meals in Norway, this one for sushi combination for two people + one roll came to close to $85 or so. It would have been over $100 if we would have gotten the dessert.
Regarding the quality of the sushi itself, it was nothing special. Of course, it did pass a decent sushi which is more than I can say for a lot of other sushi places. However, I can think of places in Dallas which have better quality sushi.
Based on this experience, we felt it was a better investment of our time (and money) to focus on Norwegian seafood dishes than trying other Japanese places.
