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.

The food was really good. A few of the items we ordered were amazing, and some of the items could use a little more salt in it, but it was definitely a great place. Make sure to have a reservation because the place is really busy.

I’m very happy with my decision to go to Lagos. I celebrated my 36 birthday. There, the staff was very accommodating, the food was amazing, the vibe was very chill, but grown and sexy. I definitely will be going back.
