Naka wins the value crown for Japanese lunch specials, hands-down. $5.95 for a 2-item lunch combo is ridonkulously cheap. Unfortunately, the quality leaves much to be desired.
We've visited for lunch on 2 occasions and tried various choices including veggie tempura, tonkatsu, chicken katsu, sashimi, and California and spicy tuna rolls. While the katsu items are decent and generously sized, they are a bit on the oily and soggy side. The tempura batter is too thick and more like a beer batter than actual tempura. The sashimi and rolls were disappointing. The freshness and quality of the fish was mediocre. The lunch combos also come with a decent miso soup and salad.
Service was a bit slow and our server seemed a bit confused and disengaged. Both times, it was not that busy, but it took awhile to get drink refills and our check.
The food rates about 2-2.5 stars, but we'll round up to 3 stars because of the inexpensive value. Will we return? Probably not. We'd rather spend a bit more for better quality.
