food is amazing service is great

Nandina's food is very nice-- if you should happen to get all of it the first time around. Unfortunately, on multiple occasions they have neglected to deliver up to half of the food order we'd asked for delivery. It makes me very sad, as I very much enjoy their lettuce chicken wrap hot tapas and other dishes....but sad to say, I will not be ordering from them for delivery again. Upon receiving a call that part of the order was not delivered, the person answering the phone said it would be delivered "soon"-- which meant in about 40 minutes after all of the other food is cold and you're close to starving. Not to mention, we ordered sushi once and it had decidedly gone bad long before we received it. Sorry Nandina, we'll be looking elsewhere for delivery next time.

Ok, the food is great when you go in person, but I usually don't complain about delivery orders but, seriously!!, I needed Rosetta Stone to place my order. I came home from a long night of working and had a craving for take out. So I called up Nandina's and spent 45 minutes explaining my addresses and apartment number and what I wanted to eat.. I had to spell each word with a military signals, you know, C for charlie, F for Fox or Fried rice. By the time my food arrived I was past out with a box of crackers watching sports center and had to eat it for breakfast. Like i said great food and service when dining in, just have a translator when ordering take out.

I've been eating at Nandina approximately once every two weeks for the past two years, and I will keep coming back. I mostly order my food to go, but I've dined at the restaurant many times. I'm not sure where the stories of bad service come from. The menu is a little on the pricey side if you can eat a lot of sushi like I can, but the sushi is high quality. Their tapas are always excellent. I've had sushi at many different Dallas restaurants, and the food here compares very favorably to the other places I've been. The parking situation leaves a lot to be desired, but that's the only draw back that I can think of.

My husband and I are nocturnal people, so we are always looking for places open late or 24 hours. We found Nandina, and decided to try it because we live near the place. We search the restaurant in Google to look for the menu, because I only can eat healthy food, I can't drink sodas or alcohol, etc etc (medical issues). We were interested in the prices also. Nandina's menu published on internet shows you dishes for less than USD 20, and the standard price is 10 - 15 USD. When you go there, you find the same dishes (like sashimi) for almost USD 40. I don't have problems if I know the restaurant is expensive, but I hate those "magical" changes. If we had trusted the website, we had had a terrible surprise with the check. And the location is not good either. It's very difficult to find parking (It says you can park on the street but we saw several car being towed... ) , and even if you are paying for it, it looks very dangerous to leave your car there. You can see lots of weird drunk and agressive people in the neighbourhood. I don't think I'll come back there and I won't recommend the place to our friends.
