The appetizers were so good, my wife’s sushi was excellent. The issue was my entree. I told the waitress I can’t have anything spicy as I have an ulcer. She assured me what I ordered wasn’t spicy. It comes and it was so spicy that after a few bites my stomach began to hurt. I mention it to the waitress and her response was “yah it depends on who makes it and today he made it spicy” no apology nothing

This location has gone downhill steadily. We were not greeted by the manager even though the hostess station was vacant. We were led to a table where the roof was leaking and dripping onto us and the table. We moved to another table which was visibly dirty and sticky and was never wiped. Our meals came before our bar drinks. Our waitress never filled our waters and they were empty most of the meal. One sushi roll was warm. There was an extremely loud party of very drunk women in the middle of the restaurant- actually SHOUTING. It was awful. We spent over $100 and were completely frustrated and dissatisfied.

We ordered 8 different rolls, the sampler platter, and seared tuna. The sushi wasn’t rolled well and fell apart. Nothing tasted fresh and the tuna on top of one of the rolls was white from being completely cooked. Will not be returning or recommending.

It was Christmas Eve and we arrived an hour before they closed. I remember what that was like when I worked in a restaurant and how irritating it could be. However, the staff were all extremely kind and gave the same professional service we have come to appreciate at Nama. It made for a very nice experience just before church that night.
