| - I visited Nana on a Sunday evening after work with four other friends. We had all traveled some way to get there and were appropriately cold and hungry. Unfortunately, one of our friends was stuck on a subway delay and we could not be seated until our entire party was present. I know a lot of places do this, but the guy in the front kept mentioning that there was a table reserved for us (which fit either four or five and certainly no more) but we weren't allowed to sit at it. Even though there was no one else waiting to be seated. Even though we were awkwardly hanging out by the front door. *shrugs* Rules are rules, I guess.
It's a small place with signage only in Thai (from what I could tell), so it's possible to walk by without realizing it. Once inside, it's a little bigger than expected, but not by much. The tables are set up quite close to one another with little stools instead of full-sized chairs. I mention this because if you are a person on the larger side, I can imagine you'd have a pretty hard time fitting yourself comfortably at a table on the seat. I ended up squeezing in behind another group of girls who decided to put all their stuff behind them (aka my only possible space to sit) and I was ok, but it was tight. I passive-aggressively eyeballed the blonde girl who stuck her entire LL Bean knapsack under my stool until she shoved it under her own.
Note to people like that: Nana's has an area with hooks to hang your jacket, scarves, ginormous camping equipment, etc so please USE IT. Your fellow diners will appreciate it greatly.
Ok, so the food. This is a fun little place to get pretty good Thai food. I've only been there once, so I can't speak for overall consistency, but all the meals we had at our table were delicious. We all started off with the Tom Yum Soup with Shrimp -- so good! It was exactly the thing you need coming in from the cold, and with a little kick of spice to get things started. It's also surprisingly satisfying despite coming in a small bowl.
I ordered the Khao Soi Chicken, which was an egg noodle dish with fried dark meat and crispy noodles and lemongrass on top in a delicious broth. It was a super filling dish and I probably could've taken home my leftovers to pour over plain rice for an additional meal. At our table, we also ordered the yellow curry chicken with rice, Pad See Ew with Beef, some kind of fried rice dish with chicken (can't recall the name, sorry!), and the Pad Thai with Pork. Be sure to note the spiciness of dishes you order - there are no take-backs if you're a wimp!
We ended with two desserts: a milk roti and a 'special' roti (it's got a secret ingredient...I'm sure you'll have a clue once you taste it, but it is totally delicious!) Both were very tasty, although I'd recommend the special roti slightly more. Both come with condensed milk which is basically all I needed to hear before slapping down the menu and salivating profusely.
The service was pretty decent. Our waitress was very kind and quick, and answered all our questions about ingredients, etc.
tldr; the food is good, the waitstaff are good, the seating is bad.
