The food was delicious and we were so full by the end of the experience. Some of the wait staff were a bit dry, but we were there at the end of the night, so I will give them the benefit of the doubt. I don’t usually enjoy fish, but I was pleasantly surprised by the sashimi course. All of the meat was so tender and melted in your mouth. The dining room was very relaxed and there are very few tables inside. Overall, the cost of the tasting menu is definitely worth it! I would recommend this restaurant experience to small parties with adventurous pallets.

The approach is unencumbered by trends in modern Korean food. The flavors are direct and the textures are intelligently layered. Our server was impressively informed and spirited. I would absolutely recommend Naro for anyone interested in well-harmonized Korean ingredients.

All was good except for the table lamps that were old and kept going out of battery. They needed to be changed several times but all didn’t last any more than 5 min so we gave up asking for it to be changed. The Korean server and the hispanic staff were very nice and apologized. It was a bummer because the reason why I chose this restaurant was because of the ambiance since it was an important dinner. The past 2 times I dined there it wasn’t a problem though. Otherwise food was good and they put our group in a room so it was quiet.
