Nana disappointing

I like Nana, and have had a few good meals there. But they are getting sloppy and stingy, at least with carryout orders.

We recently ordered in: two orders of shrimp in green curry sauce with eggplant and asparagus. There was exactly one bit of asparagus in two orders, and it wasn't even a whole spear.

We also ordered sesame scallion pancakes. What we got were flavorless tough discs of hard-fried fat, nothing pancake-y about them at all.

A pad thai passed muster, though it was nothing special. The salmon skin salad was greasy and too salty; on other occasions it had been passable.

I want Nana to be good, as it's convenient, has some good rolls, and some of the dishes are reliably good. It barely rates mediocre right now.
