SERVING THE MONTEREY Peninsula

Revitalizing a Monterey Landmark

Nami is more than a restaurant; it’s the revival of a beloved Monterey landmark, thoughtfully reimagined for today's diner. Our story begins with a deep respect for the space we inhabit—a location with over three decades of history—and a vision to create a new chapter filled with vibrant flavors and convivial energy. We saw the potential to craft an upscale-casual destination that feels both timeless and entirely new, a cornerstone for the local community and a must-visit for travelers exploring the coast.

Our Passion

Our passion is rooted in the art of hospitality. We believe the best meals are shared experiences that linger long after the plates are cleared. The concept for Nami was born from a desire to create a gathering place that balances elegance with ease. A place where the exacting techniques of Asian cuisine meet the relaxed sophistication of the California coast. It’s where you can celebrate a milestone with a bottle of champagne or simply unwind with a craft cocktail and perfectly executed dish after a long week.

about our restaurant

Our mission is to be a beacon of culinary excellence and warm hospitality in Monterey. We are committed to an ethos of quality, from the locally-sourced ingredients that inspire our chefs to the attentive team that welcomes you at the door. We invite you to be part of our continuing story and discover why Nami is one of the most talked-about restaurants in Monterey, CA.
