Great sushi!

First impression is alright. Feels more like a hotel bar than a restaurant, though. Sitting down at the table, the chairs are in good condition, but the cheap finish on the table means it feels permanently sticky -- I didn't want to touch it at all. My waitress was pleasant for the entire meal and, I believe, would have tried to improve my dining experience if I had requested. The other employees I could see or hear were also great to each other and the customers. No issue here. Onto the food itself. They still serve many of the rolls on very old wooden blocks. I cannot believe that's even remotely food safe. They are stained and discolored from countless uses and washes. I ordered a caterpillar roll -- the avocado was fine, the cucumber was almost non-existent, the eel was dry (but not rotten) and the crab was overpowering and honestly, not very good. I ate most of it, only because I was too tired to go get something else to eat. I also ordered the sesame beef. The vegetables seemed to be of good quality, but I have had better beef from a mall Panda Express. I ate a few bites and left. It wasn't worth eating more than a taste. I'm not sure what happened to Nama. It used to be a really lovely place for sushi and maybe some other foods to go with it, but now it's certainly not worth the prices on the menu. It screams of bad management. The food is poor quality for a $15+ plate, the tables are gross, and the wooden boards should be thrown out immediately. Something has to change before the rest of the customer base gives up, too.
