    I always enjoy Nama! I order the chef’s roll platter due to allergies and have always enjoyed the rolls they come up with for me. I am looking forward to our next Nama trip!

    Last minute decision to not order the normal favorite and try the drunken noodles. I should have gone with the normal favorite.

    Good ambiance and nice presentation but they food we received felt like it had been made several hours in advance and was not as good as it e were expecting. For how much it was per person, I was expecting much higher quality. Would go back but not without asking specifically for stuff that was very freshly made.

    As always the food was good, the service slow, and for the fourth consecutive time they ignored our reservation for a booth.

    It was my husband's birthday, and we indicated the occasion on our reservation. There was no acknowledgment at all; we had to mention it. Our server then deleted the dessert charge. Though the restaurant stops SERVING at 9:30, the staff began cleaning floors - with chemical detergents - by our table starting at 9 p.m. The smell was overwhelming and destroyed the taste of our food. The seating was uncomfortable, as well; our booth seats were "sprung" and uneven. Our server was very attentive, however. We would not return.
