Profile

With over 100 items on the Thai, Malaysian and Japanese menu at Nana, it’s a daunting task deciding what to eat. Luckily, you really can’t go wrong. The Chicken Pineapple Fried Rice with Roasted Cashews or Crispy Whole Red Snapper are both sumptuous. But Nana really excels at sushi, sashimi and specialty rolls like the Flaming Tuna Tataki with Ponzu Sauce, Yellowtail with Jalapenos and Chinese Cilantro, or the Volcano: Shrimp Tempura, Mango and Spicy Salmon. Nana fills two storefronts, with a bar on one side and dining room on the other, decorated in what owner Eric Ong calls “modern industrial”—exposed brick walls, lights embedded in the polished concrete floor, and lime-colored tile along the open kitchen. The space; cavernous with a huge outdoor garden, but low lighting and plenty of elbow room between the tables; give it an intimate vibe. Another bonus is reasonable prices, which means you can return many times to make your way through the menu.

Recommended Dishes

Thinly sliced ribeye steak with scallion teriyaki sauce, $5; Mango shrimp with mild spicy lingam sauce, $11; Ahi tuna tempura roll with tamarind cilantro sauce, $9

So-so food, surprisingly noisy

Food is passable, but nothing special. Remember that "best sushi in Park Slope" is like saying "best burger in Mumbai" -- what's the competition, and around at who's eating there?! While that's no surprise, what is suprising is how loud their dinner DJ plays his Hotel Costes CD. So loud that we couldn't hear each other over the table and gave up on talking. When we complained, they turned it down... until our food came. Having locked us in, they cranked it right back up again. Frankly, Hotel Costes sounds better in my apt.

Best in the neighborhood, but...

Despite still being a sit-down restaurant, Saturday nights at Nana are like having dinner at a nightclub, complete with live DJ playing Café del Mar and Hotel Costes CDs. Go another night if you want to hear the person you have met for dinner. A fun idea if you have a restaurant designed for the sound, but Tao this is not – the staff can't even hear you order. Good place the rest of the week, just avoid the DJ nights.
