| - This review is based on the sushi portion of this restaurant so perhaps I would need to update this review if I ever return to Narai for the Thai portion of their menu, although, that will be highly doubtful as I interpret skunky, fishy tasting sushi to be indicative of the overall quality of everything that the restaurant serves.
We arrived at least ten minutes prior to the end of happy hour and ordered drinks. I ordered a specialty martini which was supposed to be one of their signature drinks despite the fact that there was no one on staff who actually knew how to make it. Due to the delay in making the drink, and therefore, the delay in ringing in the drink order, happy hour had ended and I was charged full price for my drink. Strike one, but still looking forward to the food. We attempted to ask for a vegetarian version of the spring rolls which are served fresh in rice paper and not fried. The waitress told us that everything is pre-made and they could not make any that didn't already have the shrimp in them. Okay, now that's just a bad sign. Putting raw shrimp in with veggies and leaving it to sit? That's a case of food poisoning just waiting to happen. We obviously passed on the spring rolls and ordered some sushi, all of which was not in the slightest bit fresh and tasted very fishy. We lucked out with the fact that they actually forgot to make one of the rolls and requested that they not fix the error and rather, simply bring us the check. We left feeling rather nauseated by the whole experience and I can't think of any crazy, cataclysmic circumstances that would actually bring me back through the doors to try a second experience here.
