After trying for years to get reservations it was super exciting to finally get a table (we got it via waitlist and would recommend the same). Not going to go course by course as stated many times the food is spectacular, with each course extremely well executed. The couple of things that really stood out: duck liver macaroon and dashi were above any other variations I have had in the past. My biggest complaint is I did not get more macaroons in the take home dessert.The service was friendly and interactive and made you feel right at home. Will definitely come back assuming I can get reservations again.
Wonderful experience dining here. By far, the most creative and delicious dinner I have ever had. Good timing between courses and great service, as well. Be prepared to spend about three hours here. It goes by fast, though.
Had an extraordinary culinary experience at n/naka last night. I understand why it's so hard to get a reservation... It was without equal. The best meal I have ever enjoyed.We got the optional wine and sake pairing to match the 13 course kaiseki and it was perfection. Each course was beautiful, surprising, nuanced, and holy f*ck delicious. I'm in awe of the mastery of technique and respect for ingredients displayed by the chefs.Some of the best service I've experienced at a Michelin star establishment as well. Attention to detail is what sets n/naka apart. The meal ends with a personal thank you from the chef.Filled with gratitude ❤️
My very favorite restaurant for special occasions.Just went again last night. Unfortunately there was a table next to us with people wo talked extremely loud and prevented my friend and i to fully enjoy our dinner.N-naka really should have a policy and ask people to observe quiet talking to be in line with the zen atmosphere and the extremely high quality of the food.
It was an amazing experience to dine at n/naka. Chef Nakayama is superb with her selection and execution of all dishes and everyone in the service staff was very knowledgeable and polite.I got the Vegetarian tasting Menu and being a fussy eater, wasn't disappointed at all. Every dish hits the mark with it's own unique cooking technique and flavor. We got the late slot for dinner which began at 9pm and lasted around 3.5 hours.Good luck getting that highly elusive reservation which sells out in a matter of seconds - literally. It took us about 7 weeks of regular sitting on Tock to get a reservation for 4 people but the wait was totally worth it.
some of the best japanese restaurant that I have had in a while. Great sushi and great service. I am looking forward to visiting again. Drinks are little expensive but which restaurant doesn’t have expensive drinks.
Great food, cooked rightvinfront of you. Be prepared to be entertained!
Always look forward to coming here. It's busy for a reason. Staff are friendly and the food is excellent. Hard to beat!
the meal started slow, wasn’t impressed by the initial dishes. only started getting into the meat of things (hah) with the A5 wagyu course. everything after that was deliciousness.perfect amount of sake/wine in the pairing. overall, n/naka was nice to try but lacking the creativity/inventiveness that I prefer in my meals. especially at that price point.
Fantastic presentation of the food and great taste, but the highlight was when Chef came out to great us at the end. Food, service, experience and friends get 5 stars.
