I love nama in the Old City, but now they also have a location on Kingston Pike which is much bigger with better parking. Yay for options! more

I have had sushi in several places, but none like Nama's. There is no comparison in the fresh taste of everything they have. I love their salad's and soup as well. Never had anything that didnt taste wonderful. Its a small place, so get there right when they open for dinner or you will have to wait. GREAT place and... more

I didn't even like sushi before I discovered nama. They have some very inventive rolls and the quality has always been good. Now I am craving it . . . more

Small place, but a great restaurant when you can get a table to enjoy it. Try Soy Joy and Thai Stix. Mmmm! more

I give it 4 stars because it is just too damn small. You either have to come at 4:00pm for dinner, or wait 3 hours. No food is worth that. Sushi is among the best in Kville. more
