Nara Express

You can NEVER go wrong with Nara's! December 5, 2025 We got 2 Teriyaki Steaks and a Spring Roll(sushi, it comes with 2 but we ate 1 on the way home🤣). Food is always on point. The ladies that work there to take orders at the drive-thru are always so pleasant and sweet. We haven't ate inside in a long time but they are always packed! Thank y'all for the amazing service and food!

I don’t know what I did to deserve such food. Honestly, I feel personally attacked. The meat is questionable and the meal was flavorless! Trust me save your money and go eat literally anywhere else.

Nara Express is a must when dining in Lenoir. The food is made fresh to order and served plentiful - just check out the pictures. The udon dishes were full of flavor and packed with tasteful ingredients. The steak and chicken were cooked perfectly, and the shrimp and scallops were served plentiful. The service from the staff was incredibly attentive and customer-focused to our party. The staff confirmed and verified the order to ensure accuracy, and even when delivering the entrees, the staff was verifying. Truly, the customer service was remarkable.

Do you like to watch to go orders go out at the speed of light while you wait half an hour for your food when there are only three parties in the restaurant? Come to Nara's. In all seriousness though we ordered at 6:29 and got our food at 7:05. When I went to the counter to ask about are food the snippy manager quiped"It's coming there's a wait tonight" If you can't handle doing fine in and take out don't get irritated with patrons asking about their food after a half hour.

I would have did a 5 start review because the food is absolutely amazing. But the staff is so rude to me. When you walk in the act like it’s annoying that you are there. They don’t greet you and it takes about 5 minutes for anyone to acknowledge you being there. They take your order and it takes a while for food but worth the wait. Great place need to work on staff and tell them to treat customers with some sort of smile and happiness.
