Nara Chinese Restaurant

Nara, a local chinese food restaurant, has a pretty good sized menu at a decent price range. The portions you get are a little underwhelming, as they are overloaded with rice with only a little bit of the main dish itself, but the flavors are alright. They were pretty quick on making the food, but they also use some pretty cheap styrofoam containers so be careful if you do take out not to let it get crushed or slide to one side. Not my favorite chinese food around, but convenient for sure.

A crazy fusion of korean and Chinese. Not to be confused though: this is a Chinese restaurant that you can get some Korean-style-chinese-food at. Mostly Chinese food though. The food was actually pretty tasty. Egg flour soup was probably up there in the places that I've tried. The house special fried rice was bomb. The curry chicken was great but the veggie lo Mein was lacking anything but bell peppers. Atmosphere was great here and the service was very kind and speedy for being 10pm. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for Chinese!

Hope you take this review as a warning. Shouldn’t have ignored all the red flags myself. Starting with this being a fusion restaurant. The food was terrible. The chow mein was oily and the shrimp (being few) we noticed was cut in half ! The vegetables taste like it came from a can. The seafood pancake was undercooked; this was mentioned to the server thinking he would take it back and offer a new one but stood there awkwardly saying “oh okay” and left. The Jajangmyeon was plain; black bean paste watery. Nothing was finished, not even halfway. We had asked if this dish could be taken off the check (it was terrible enough to walk out and not give them a cent but we wanted to be decent humans). The server became defensive since this was his parents restaurant and said that my taste buds were broken. Mind you Jajangmyeon is one of my favorite Korean dishes and have tried many prior to this location. We are traumatized by this experience. Please do yourself a favor and avoid this place.
