The bar here is pretty nice. All me and my family did was just sit there, order drinks, and have some of their smaller dishes.
They had nice selection of both beers and appetizers. The appetizers were a nice mix of both Japanese and Thai dishes. I ordered the Roti Canai and the taste was all there, even if the portion wasn't. But then again, it was only 3 dollars. I probably should have ordered more food but oh wells. Nice little bar though. The bartender was pretty friendly and was chatting it up with us.
Probably would come back here again if I'm ever back in New York.
Nana is amazing and I used to live nearby and order delivery at least 2 nights a week. Now I live a bit farther away, but still make it here as much as possible. The food is delicious, fast and consistent. The service is friendly and reliable. And the delivery is solid. In restaurant experience is great too. I order the roti canai (amazing – life changing – order it and you'll be happy) and then the pineapple fried rice or the Singapore noodles. I've also had the green curry, sushi and recommend it al. Everything I try is amazing – the best kind of comfort food. It's cash only so be prepared – cause you're gonna want to order a lot!
My friends and I were in a desperate mood for some food before heading back to Brooklyn Boulders for some serious climbing. Walking down 5th Ave was a challenge to find a spot to eat. Luckily, we saw Nana's menu and instantly caught our eyes.
Upon entering, you get greeted with the bar/bartender. Pass the bar to the left is where all the diners are. Very modern and retro. I loved how they have a wide selection of cocktails and wines to choose from for an Asian Fusion place.
We ordered the Pad Thai, The "kueh" Teow, and Pad Kra Pao Beef. All were excellently done (or maybe we were just starving?). The presentation of the noodles were interesting also, our entree was placed on a plate that looked like a boat…cute. We also ordered 3 desserts — Coconut Flan, Chocolate Souffle (not a souffle at all), and the Black Sesame Creme Brulee. The best out of the 3 was the Chocolate "Souffle," chocolate-y goodness, if you ask me, it's more on the chocolate lava cake side more than souffle. The flan was pretty plain and boring, do skip that. The brulee lacked black sesame which wasn't that appealing either.
Overall, the entree outweighed the desserts so I would love to come back for their other dishes. A lot of people ordered their sushi, must make sure to order that next time. Great vibe, great food, and service was on par.
Nana is a casual Asian spot that offers a variety of Japanese, Malaysian & Thai dishes. I love me some good Asian food but unfortunately, Nana failed to deliver. Maybe the chef had an off day but I was not satisfied with my appetizer or my entrée.
Pro's:
-Nana has decent happy hour from 5pm to 8pm.
-The prices are reasonable & good portions.
-I sampled the pork chop with stir fried vegetables & wasabi pepper sauce & it was good.
-The restaurant is spacious & has a nice patio seating area.
-The servers were quick to take your order & even quicker to take your dirty plates off the table.
Con's:
-The roti canai appetizer crispy pancake part was good but the potato curry dipping sauce wasn't sauce, it was more like flavored grease. It lacked texture & potato.
-The chicken pad see ew noodles were half burnt so I didn't enjoy it as much as I would have liked. I never return my food because I feel that it insults the cook so I tried to eat most of it. I was unsuccessful.
Since I wasn't happy with my meal, I skipped dessert. Since there are other places to try in the neighborhood, I am not sure if I will re-visit Nana & give it another shot.
Unfortunately when we arrived at 10:12am, the doors were closed. After calling the establishment to ask why do they list brunch from 10am-4pm the female restaurant employee stated that they are open. I responded that the door is locked…she then says, the CHEF has not arrived but we can come in and wait 20 minutes. As I write this part of the review, it is now 10:29am.
While seated, I asked for tea (it's was terrible) and we were kindly served. 5 minutes later salad (it was tasty) was served to us and she proceeded to take our order….with no apologies for the wait except that she doesn't know when the chef will arrive as he may have had an accident. As I write this line it is now 10:43am
We ordered the steak and eggs…1st my dining partners plate arrived at 10:57am COLD and a minute later my plate appeared of the same temperature!!! I requested that my eggs be poached HARD..they were not and when the waitress asked if they were ok, I responded that I asked for hard. They were taken away and microwaved as I heard the beeping…my microwaved poached eggs were then served to me, super dry. Both steaks were basically frozen and set to a grill with no seasoning. I despise A1 sauce but it became my best friend for this Sunday Brunch as I needed something to mask the blandness of the meal. The home fries were also tasteless along with the toast (broiled slices of Italian bread).. I guess this is what to expect with fusion.
Oh yea, we were the only patrons in the establishment for the entire Sunday brunch experience…as I write this final line, it is now 11:18am…EMPTY !!!!
My roommate loves to order takeout from Nana. Tonight, she decided to order dinner for both of us. Unfamiliar with the menu, I scrolled through what it had to offer. Oddly enough, the pineapple fried rice stood out to me. Complete with pineapple, peas, carrots, red pepper, and mushrooms, it actually tasted healthy, and was quite filling! For what it lacked in flavor, I added to it with Sriracha (who doesn't keep Sriracha in their fridge?). Another fan is won!
Wouldn't suggest it but would go again if someone requested it. Unbelievably cheap for Park Slope! $9-10 for a full entree.
Oddly, some cocktails cost more than the food. Service is very friendly but slow. We had to flag down a server 4-5 times, and it seemed no table had a waiter assigned to it (we were helped by 3-4 different people).
Still, place had an interesting look and the biggest fish tank I've ever seen outside an aquarium. Chicken teriyaki was solid, but nothing I'd wake up from a dream salivating over. There's Kinjo in Ft. Greene for that.
I am unsure how I feel about this place. I was not wowed but there was nothing too negative about this place. You have the option to sit immediately at the bar and there is plenty of space to do so. My friend and I chose to sit at the bar. The waitress/bartender was AMAZING. Extremely engaging and I truly enjoyed her.
The food did not take too long to come out and the prices were actually pretty good. I had a mojito [passion fruit, which was okay but they use generic juice opposed to puree for this specific flavor] and my friend had a rum punch. That was a really good drink. We ordered spring rolls which were only $4 for 4 and they were really good. The sauce on the side has a spicy ting to it but nothing unbearable. We also ordered the chicken and beef skewers [it's definitely called something else] and they were really good. Nice and juicy no complaints I just did not fall in love with it. My friend had a dish, I believe it was Shrimp pad thai not completely sure but I do know that it was pretty spicy which was not relayed in the menu.
However, I did enjoy my time there overall. The environment is also very nice, welcoming.
TIP: Cash only !!!!! This is pretty inconvenient for those like myself who do not carry cash. Plus unless I missed it I didn't see a cash only sign. However they do have an ATM. This would be the only negative thing I have to say about this place.
