    Apart from well-executed Korean and Japanese fusion in the regular dining areas, Nara debuted its Korean grill room just a few weeks ago. It's Korean barbecue in a fancy, date-night setting.

    Everyone should go experience Nara's fine elegant dining & try the addictive Bibimbap, a traditional Korean dish; it's crispy Spanish pork bellies, rice, sesame leaf, and a raw quail egg combined. Read more

    Nara's "flap buns," also known as bao, are served with potato chips in bamboo baskets. The bulgogi ones are filled with chopped beef. It's kind of a Korean-style sloppy joe basket. Read more

    Ask for Levi great service! The surf & turf sushi roll by Chef Jojo is awesome! The miso soup is tasty! Nice setting, great soju and sake selection!

    I have been here 3 separate times. I'm really trying to like this place because I live here. I have yet to be seated with in 30 min of my reservation. Advice: stick with the sushi.

    Everything that my friend & I ordered was soooo good. I'd definitely go back again. The only thing people need to know is this place can be a bit pricey.

    Not vegan friendly. Two vegetarian options from their small plates menu and a couple of side dishes to choose from.

    Not impressed with the food or service. Head to the owner's better restaurant, Uptown Sushi, if you want to do the fine dining asian thing. If you want real Korean, head to Long Point Dr.
