Japanese$$
A little slice of Tokyo at the top end of town, Nama Nama is a modest two-hander that works the daytime crowds with bento boxes, nori rolls and slurp-worthy udon noodles in complex broths bobbing with accompaniments like silky tofu and wakame. The kitchen eases into evening with a few more hot dishes such as eggplant curry with steamed rice and pickles. Divided into boxy nooks, Nama’s pop-up aesthetic boasts pine table tops on drink crates with three-legged stools, a funky soundtrack and cute glassware. Dainty sweets like yuzu tea cake or warm tofu cake with green tea are a neat way to bow out.
