nana asian fusion and sushi bar

not worth the wait.. we read the initial reviews for nana fusion which weren't verygoodso we waited a while to see if time and experience would improve their rating. once i saw that 91% of urbanspoon reviewers gave it a thumbs up, we decided to go there for lunch. big disappointment. we had sesame chicken as the baseline with which we judge all asian restaurants. the sesame chicken at nana asian fusion restaurant was attractive, but bland. it was more like a frozen entree from weight watchers or healthy choice. unfortunately, if an asian restaurant fails the sesame chicken test, we won't go back to try any other menu selections. no complaint with the staff and the food was served hot.

sushi may be good. nothing else seems to begoodthere. i am not a huge sushi fan, so i ordered another dish when i went with a sushi-loving friend. their food is not good. my friend liked her sushi, though.

a suburban oasis worthy of downtown dining. loved this joint. needed sushi on a snowy saturday night, went to get takeout and escape the family unit, and two kids with the flu. had two drinks at the bar amidst friendly bartenders and football on the flat screen. the bartenders know not a thing about sushi, but make up for it with their charm. the atmosphere is sleek and inviting. totally felt comfortable in a minute. seems right out of new york or chicago. to top it all off- the sushi was excellent. though they messed up my order and i had to go back once. they gave me a free drink- (im getting a little sloppy at this point) and all was right with the world.

i hope this place does well, because it is the perfect fit for the location on up and coming oakland ave. they have to remember though- you're only asgoodas your worst piece of sushi! that's why we dont go to the other north shore sushi house (on green tree) anymore!!!

**a great blend of food, service & ambience**. my girlfriend and i had a great experience at nana. we went for dinner at around 7:30pm on monday. great interior stylings and comfortable. friendly service. we really enjoyed the food. the dragon and spider rolls were delicious, i ordered the tangerine beef. the entre itself was sufficient for the meal as the portion size was very generous. verygoodwaitservice.

i'd highly recommend.

some starting issues. we went here right after it opened and it was obvious there some issues they need to work out. their system of taking people down on post-it notes wasn't working. when we were seated, the hostess was rude. she was reaching right over me to hand another table their silverware with her arm nearly smacking my face. the food wasgoodbut it took 30 minutes for a simple appetizer. they brought me the wrong dish and the waitress seemed to be arguing with me at first. once we got the right food it was good. i'll be giving this place another chance. i just think they need to work on their staff.
