The service was quite rude. We initially ordered hookah and tea, but the waitress insisted we order food. We complied by ordering four appetizers, but she impolitely refused and wanted us to order four main dishes instead. The situation seemed amusing, and unfortunately, the manager's behavior was also discourteous. I'd suggest trying the Nara in Anaheim, as I highly recommend it, unlike this one.
We were a group of nine people last night for dinner. Food was excellent! And the service was amazing! We will be back soon
Wow wow wow what a service thank you Sonny you will be 1 of the reasons we will be back . The food was amazing
The place is great , great atmosphere. Happy staff, great food , great Dj Saturday famous Rami the best and best music, highly recommended for any of your events or celebration or just to go and enjoy great food
Ive been to NARA many times at night but today was the second time going for lunch. The restaurant opens at 12 and they were extremely accommodating since we were a bit early. The chef and hostess are both extremely sweet and the service is fast during lunch. All of the food was seasoned extremely well and its a great ambiance to be in. The portions are huge and their appetizers are delicious. Recommend for dinner and definitely recommend for lunch
Food is delicious. I got the chicken breast kabob plate. Everything is freshly made and flavorful. Very friendly staff. They have outside seating. I'll definitely come back.
Nara has very good food, seating is comfortable, and the service almost always attentive. The service can improve a little especially when they are busier. Thursdays through Sundays there is nightly live entertainment.
Since there is patio seating, you can smoke your cigars at the table. Nara is a great place to go with friends to celebrate special occasions or just because. Enjoy!
