"I visited on a saturday with two other people. The server was a little flustered, and as he under the drinking age he confessed he couldn 't make any cocktail recommendations from his own experience. The hostess provided some good recs, though. My companions each had the green curry in coconut milk with udon noodles, and they both loved it. I always try pad thai at every restaurant that has it, and I knew going in that this was not necessarily a 'classic ' PT, but something new, with a soy sauce base. Unfortunately it lacked the aspects of PT I appreciate the most namely, crisp bean sprouts, green onions, and peanuts (there were plenty of the latter at least). The sauce was too heavy and overpowered the delicate balance of the other ingredients, and the sauce 'puddled ' on the bottom as opposed to lightly coating the noodles. It didn 't taste bad, but the texture was just dull and boring without the crispness of fresh, less cooked bean sprouts and green onions, it just had an overall 'soft ' mouthfeel, with the thankful addition of good peanuts. The named, classic cocktails were all decidedly in the 'sweet ' category, with no 'dry, ' more savory cocktails to be found. I did enjoy the tequila mockingbird, with a hint of black pepper dusting the top. Overall, I 'd return and try other dishes, but I 'd probably pass on the cocktails entirely and stick with their large beer selection."

"We love nawa but we just had such a bad experience here. My brother’s in town, so we’ve decided to take him to Nawa since my fiance and I love their ramen. We got there at 7:10pm, we were seated right away. It took about 10 minutes for someone to acknowledge us, we got our drinks around 7:27pm, our appetizers at 7:30pm. We still don’t have plates or silverware at this point. We can’t find our server anywhere, and my brother was ignored by one of their staff when we tried to ask for plates and silverware. We were really hungry and our appetizers were getting cold. We ordered our ramen, not sure what time at this point. But our waiter came back after about 15 mins to tell us that they do not have Ramen for the night. We were really bummed about it but still went ahead and ordered something else. Our food didn’t get to us until 8:18pm. My fiance and I got our food while my brother waited another 5-8 minutes to get his. It took maybe another 20 minutes to get our check. We were really just not taken care of. We see other tables getting better service… Food was okay, service was not that great. I’m kinda upset because the table next to us got their food within 20 mins of being there. I know that we could have been served better. but we gave him the benefit of the doubt that maybe he was having a bad day. We didn’t get to leave until 8:50pm which is kinda ridiculous… I still love Nawa and we will be back.Hopefully, they have the ramen next time."
