Local Houston MagazineJanuary 14, 2014Everyone 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
- EaterJanuary 3, 2014Apart 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.
- Local Houston MagazineSeptember 17, 2014Customers never have complaints here! With the friendly staff, amazing chefs & delicious foods how could they? The Creamy Ginger Chicken Salad & the Crunchy Yellowtail Roll are a definite must try! Read more
Houston PressOctober 28, 2014Nara'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
Kevin SugiartoJune 21, 2014Ask 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!
Sherry YuJanuary 18, 2015Everything 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.
Noel SharmaDecember 8, 2013I 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.
๐Yana F๐August 30, 2014Not vegan friendly. Two vegetarian options from their small plates menu and a couple of side dishes to choose from.
Nik KNovember 17, 2014Not 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.

"Ensure that you are hungry when you come in. Itโs worth $25 buffet and it is all worth it. Tasty meat and friendly staff. Hope they could bring the price down a bit though. Nonetheless, great deal!"
