With edgy décor in the form of Japanese street art and graffiti on the walls, Nara Pan Asian is a fun place to enjoy an awesome meal and energetic vibe. The menu is divided into small plates with all-time favorite dishes from Thailand, China, Vietnam, and Japan with unlimited dim sums, sushi, and mocktails are unlimited.
Sushi is created fresh by the chef here and we tucked into copious amounts of maki, from spicy tuna rolls to California rolls. And the nigiri here is fantastic, with salmon, crab, and prawn varieties. From the small plates, the dynamite prawns—tempura filled prawns tossed in a spicy mayo sauce, were always a hit with us. Also, the Togarashi Mushrooms—crispy batter fried mushrooms with Togarashi sauce were superb. We also tried the Thai beef salad which was refreshing and moreish.
The baskets of steamed dim sum included crystal veg, edamame truffle, Thai veg green curry, BBQ chicken chai siu bao, chicken and shrimp, and our ultimate favorite; mixed seafood.
From the mains, I tried the Thai Green Vegetable Curry with Jasmine rice, while my children tucked into Prawns coconut curry and Beef Mongolian; all were really satisfying and packed with flavor.
As is characteristic with most Far Eastern meals, dessert always includes fresh fruits. Here, our dessert was a refreshing fruits platter with small bowls of Crème Brule; both were light and the perfect way to end this meal.
Me and my fiance were just planning to have a simple night out for our anniversary but thanks to Nara Pan staffs: Bea, Gerald and Roshan who made it so special for us. They’re very accommodating and polite. We loved the food and prices are good especially if you have Zomato or Platinum card with you. ❤️ Definitely coming back to this place.
Was amazed with the food quality and portions
Crew was amazing and quick with everything we requested
Had gone here with a group of friends today and the food was delicious and definitely worth it. We had ordered a beverages along with dynamite prawns, kung pao chicken, schezwan dim sums, pad thai with egg noodles, minced basil chicken and sushi. The staff was friendly and service was good too. Will definitely visit again!
A cool restaurant in the thriving JLT area. It was refreshing to visit such a lovely, reasonably priced restaurant. The food was delicious. The staff friendly and attentive. The hygiene standards were extremely high and we all felt very safe. Would highly recommend and will certainly be returning.
The resturant is very lively and has a great vibe also the food is good
NARA Pan Asian is a really cozy spot where you can enjoy both a great selection of sushi and dumplings as well as cocktails. I also enjoyed the dynamite shrimps and fell in love with the mangi sticky rice rolls. If you enjoy Asian cuisine, you will definitely appreciate this trendy restaurant in JLT
Lovely cozy restraurant with a great casual and lively atmosphere. I have tried everything on their menu from sushi, to main course to desserts and everything was flavorful and compliment worthy.
I recently got the chance to visit @narapanasian which serves asian cuisines, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks with a vast variety of appetizers.
I like the places which provides more options and systematic approach towards food and beverages including the ambiance and comfort in mind as well.
I tried Dumplings, sushi, dimsam, chicken balls and many other variety of asian food and I have to say the fusion they have for food considering mango topping on sushi represents how much detail and research they put for food 🥘 I would highly recommend this place to people who love asian food.
If you are near by Jumeirah or JLT, Cluster A is the location where you can visit @narapanasian ❤️
Had great Brunch deal so thought to visit, so I did last Thursday, was surprised to see the Super Yummy food and Quality drinks , Service was Best and Good Ambient and amazing crowd to Enjoy and have a Good Thursday Night.
What a beautiful evening we had from the starters to the desserts. The service was amazing with a special attention from the owner who was looking after us.
The food is so yummy and I highly recommend the truffle edamame dim sum.
Delicious food, almost everything we have tried from their menu has been outstanding. The vegan edamame & truffle dimsum in mushroom broth are fabulous and a must try even if you’re not vegan.

Tasted perfection! For any delivery, usually we already expect that quality would somewhat be compromised. Nara Pan Asian proved it wrong. Mr. Anand who I coordinated the delivery with was ultimately accommodating. He was very patient taking our order despite the busy operations due to the current situation. We ordered: Dynamite Shrimp and chicken baos for appetizer; Pad Thai prawns and Mongolian beef for mains and; mango sticky rice for dessert. Their serving is very generous for the menu prices, you’ll sure be satisfied. Taste and quality of food is super! They have 2 types of baos, I am curious to try the other one - will sure try. Everything was very good, definitely exceeded our expectations! The only thing I would like to comment about is the dessert: their mango sticky rice’s presentation is not the conventional type, it is made like a sushi with mango inside and coconut milk drizzled on top of it (sure is interesting)! Menu choices (dessert) not much to select from. It also could’ve been nicer if the mangoes used are much sweeter. Overall, we had happy tummies and tastebuds! Can’t wait to visit the outlet soon!
We tried the Kung Pao chicken, Mongolian beef, and chicken fried rice, everything was very tasty, the chicken was especially flavorful and well seasoned, the beef could have been a little more tender but it was still great and the rice needed a little more flavor, but overall a great place to get Asian food.
Festivities continue well into the new year especially when you have friends who have been away enjoying well deserved holidays over the actual festive season. So when three of us decided to band together on the first Friday of the new year, my only criteria (as always) was to dine at a place we haven’t eaten at before. We are lucky that way – Dubai offers us unlimited possibilities of options where you don’t need to repeat yourself!
Really cool place to hang out.. We usually go after work to grab a couple of beers. Place gets super crowded on weekends.. Love the ambience and art work on the walls. Service is good and staff is courteous. Absolutely love their Dynamite Prawns 👌 they also have Dynamite broccoli if you're a vegetarian.
I am writing a review after so long and glad that it is going to be a great review of Nara Pan Asian. I ordered crystal veg dumplings and Spring rolls and wok fried noodles and I must say the dumplings were a taste of heaven. I have marked this order as my favourite because this was something which was so unexpected and we were quite skeptical before ordering. Great food guys . Looking forward to more deliveries from you.
Awesome place for yummiest thai food ❤️ Love their cozy and beautiful interiors and courteous staff too😊
As a group of 8 we just wandered in not knowing what to expect. We were blown away with the service provided by Roshan. He remembered our string of complicated orders and was so helpful in advising us. Food was divine, especially the Nasi Goreng, stir fried noodles, shou mai shrimp and green curry. Definately some place we plan on frequenting and recommending to friends. Thanks Roshan once again, You helped make 8 very hungry people very happy :)
The food is really yummy. Went for a brunch here and the dim sums are too die for. Curries are fantastic too. It’s a great time here. The vibe is nice. The only thing is the ambience. It’s quite boxy. But the food, staff everything is fantastic!
The service from the bar tenders are TOP!!!! The sushi is great, they have a lot of promotions so it's always good to hang out there... Totally worth it
**REVIEW TIME**
Nara Pan Asian located in JLT has the best sushi 🤟
We were served with 2 platters of sushi, which i must say was bomb. They were stuffed up properly and tasted yum (i have watery mouth typing this out already 😋) .. dip it in soy sauce, open up ur mouth wide and bang! So so so good !!
.
We had ordered noodles for kids with minimum spice, and i must say they licked up the platter. It had everything u would want. Perfect amount of veggies and chicken.
.
The ambiance was cosy and nice. Spacious and very chilled out place. I lovedit.
.
We truly had a really good time experiencing the authentic japanese sushi.

Nara Pan Asian – Recently visited Nara Pan Asian for dinner, I thoroughly enjoyed the colorful and interesting décor and wall paintings. Many families having dinner and friends having drinks, the restaurant was 80 percent full and the staff was busy serving the tables. We started with HALLOUMI BAOS this was more like a mini taco with perfect filling of crusted Halloumi and Siracha Mayo. PAPAYA SALAD was way too spicy for me, but you can always ask the staff to control the spice level as per your liking. DYNAMITE SHRIMP was good too.
Nara Pan Asian restaurant is out of those so many restaurants which leave a lasting impression with its delicious food & service . Got to try the amalgamation of Japanese, Chinese & Thai food last week. They are located by the lake side in JLT Cluster A with a well kept interior & elegant décor.
Best food and one of the best place to visit. Service is good. And if u want to have fun with your friends then u must visit Nara in weekend.. I would like to visit again and again. One of the best Asian food is available in Nara pan Asia.
Located in the heart of JLT, this place will satisfy your cravings for Asian Cuisines! The place is lively, the staff is friendly yet professional, the food is finger licking good and they also serve delicious mocktails as well as cocktails. It is good for small as well as large groups.
They also have various on-going offers, they also give discount for Zomato Gold users. If you love Asian Cuisines then this place would be a safe and good bet.
Don't forget to try their mocktails!
Although this was almost 4 days after Christmas, this dinner at Nara felt like Christmas.
We had a wonderful dinner with a variety of Pan Asian dishes and amazing alcoholic drinks too.
Speak to your waiter and have them suggest the best dishes as per your palate and preference. I did so and it turned out to be the best.
Don't miss out on the Mango Sticky Rice (plated as a sushi).
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Just stunning. On entry it seems like a hidden away small restaurant but once inside the interiors are beautiful with wonderful graffiti and even cherry blossoms around to add a Japanese feel to the place. The food though wasn't focused only on Japanese and was truly pan asian as they served excellent dishes in Chinese, Japanese and Thai which is great for me and my wife as I love Japanese but my wife prefers other Asian cuisine. This combined with some wonderfully prepared cocktails meant we found a truly hidden gem worth returning to. Another plus is the availability of a variety of vegan dishes in all asian cuisines which is something we face difficulty with when we are sometimes out with guests. Very difficult to pick favorites here but some must try items include the no brainer in cocktails, spicy halloumi bao, truffle suimai in mushroom sauce, california sushi and mongolian beef. They also have some mango sticky rice for dessert but served in sushi form. Presentation of most dishes were also very nice. Service was excellent as well and overall this is definitely a hidden gem for me..

As a standalone restaurant that is not part of any 5 star hotel. Nara does an amazing job on creating dishes that are stunning. Usually pan Asian food, which is more or less fusion, is terrible by most accounts, but Nara handles the concept extremely well. I’ve tried a lot of the items on the menu and they are mostly all fantastic. I can randomly order an item and I have complete confidence that it will be delicious.
Superb experience for everytime I come, love the ambiance and the cheerful staff specially Kevin and Bea. Worth every penny! The food is amazing ❤
That was a great experience to dine in here in Nara Pan Asian in JLT. Amazing ambience with great service. The staffs were so friendly and attentive that we didn't have to ask for anything.
Tried their new dishes like sushi's, baos, dynamite shrimps and karaage chicken as starters all were delicious. The edamame and truffle and prawns sui mai was good.
The thai green curry with rice was awesome. The beef stir fry was also a great combo with rice. It was an awesome dinner all together. They have variety of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. The japanese p@rnstar was too good. Coconut pinacloda was refreshing. Thank you for having us and age ving us with love. Thank you Mr. Veer who attended us so well.
Always a fun place to visit. Great music and friendly staff. Special thanks to Ms. Bea,very accomodating and helpful. Hope to visit soon again 🥰
They have a range of dishes and the menu was easy to navigate giving you lots of options. The chicken katsu was lovely and served in a great portion so you could share it if you wanted although we felt that it needed some salt. Our favourite was the salmon teriyaki which was served with asparagus. This was very filling but you could a side if you felt like it. The grilled shrimp was great but a small sized portion be sure to order a side with it. The ambiance was lively with a dj for entertainment. The waiters were very helpful amd happy to assist.
A sheer gastronomic delight of pan asian cuisine. We ordered for Karage chicken, Dynamite prawns and chicken sui mai for starters followed by Thai red curry with prawns, Thai green curry with chicken and Jasmine rice for the main course. All the items were delightfully sumptuos but the Karage chicken n the Thai green curry were top of the class. The great ambiance added to the culinary experience.
A must visit if you love pan asian cuisine.
A halloween themed costume party was held at NARA Pan Asia – JLT. The brunch was a set-menu serving unlimited sushi, dim sum and selected beverages. Small plates or appetizers were limited to two per person, while the main course was one each accompanied with either rice or noodles.The best dressed couple were awarded with 2 bottles of sparkling wine.
A laid- back unpretentious spot serving legit asian cuisine with friendly casual service. Several offers can be availed such as happy hour and late brunch. Shout out to Bea and the rest of the team for the warm welcome.
My future go-to place.. I had an amazing evening with my better half.. great food.. good music .. and ambience.. their house wine also tasted great!! Gerald our host took take care of us every step of the way! Good going team NARA! 👍
Everything about this place is just perfect! the ambiance, the food, the cocktails I love it all!!!!! Especially the prices during the happy hours, they are too good to be true.
Nara is an amazing restaurant bar AMAZING food lovely atmosphere good service
We had an wonderful experience during our dineout at NARA the food was amazing and we really enjoyed our time here,I will surely visit this place again and would recommend it to my friends and colleagues.thank you so much chef Ujjain and Nara team.
This is a great place to catch up with friends over some delicious Asian food, the kung pao chicken is especially good. Friendly and professional staff, great food, truly a hidden gem.
I love this place.....food is.excellent quality...ambience is perfect...you will find me there every weekend chilling
So, we decided to go for another Friday brunch before the kids school opens again. Our kids love Pan Asian food and hence we opted for NARA brunch. The entrance was little awkard with construction going all over, but once inside we were pleased with the ambiance and decor. The service was quick and fast both for the drinks and food and the staff was quite attentive. Nice selection of Sushi's which were made live and enough appetizers and dimsums served on the table. The food was sumptuous and delicious.
One negative observation - There were quite a few flies around, which were very irritating. The management needs to do something about it.
Overall a good experience and will be certainly going back.
So I had gone here for a Friday brunch. I firstly have to say their service was just too good and their staff was friendly.
So here they have a concept of a set menu. Which includes
1. 2 appetizers
2. Unlimited sushi and dimsums
3. One rice or noodles
4. One main course
5. Set menu for drinks.
Over all the experience was really good and their food was really good. Had a great time with friends.
Good food and service. Reasonable prices!
This is the first time I write a review on Zomato. NARA Pan Asian triggered me to do so.
Delivery time 5/5
Food packaging 5/5
Thai steamed rice 5/5
Rainbow maki rolls 5/5
So tasty! Will for sure order delivery again.
Thank you and keep up the amazing quality.
Their chicken bao is soooooo juicy!! It's part of my order everytime!!!
I think dim sums as a take away dish is never normally a good idea but i really did want the prawn dimsum and it was nice enough but it was not steaming hot like one would find it at the restaurant directly.
Over all... Their rice and noodle dishes are spot on and their Thai curry is amazing!!!
I love the whole green packaging and wooden cutlery when you get food delivered!! Kudos on the green front!!
Another hidden place in JLT; excellent menu with very interesting starters like the halloumi Kao Bao and their version of the dynamite shrimps. Their dumplings are worth trying and my fav dish was the mee goreng. Their Asian food is awesome, but spicy and heavy, so make sure you are specific on how spicy and oily do you need your food prepared. Another lowlight is The only they have lots of flies which is very annoying, so some measures needed to tackle this.
This is a great place for Asian food. We ordered Prawn pad thai and Chicken Katsu, both the dishes were great and prices are reasonable. Staff here is friendly and wait time for food is not very long. It was a good experience.
Amazing place, chill vibes and amazing get away from the hustle bustle of the city. Kudos!! Drinks are amazing, the music and ambience is beautiful. You must visit ❤️
The best Pan Asian restaurant in JLT, it’s a little secret that I recently discovered. Food is amazing, variety is good and surprisingly good options for vegetarian and vegan too. The restaurant + bar is value for money, ambience is good + they have valet parking. I will be going back for brunch tonight with few friends.
Excellent food especially appetizers, good friendly service and the staff are very friendly staff..
The bar is stocked with good alcohol and beers .. And it is very reasonably priced .both food and drinks wise
Amazing restaurant. Did an event here and the team did a superb job. Thank you to the servers, management team, and all on making it very special for us. Highly recommended.

Service 5/5
Price 4/5
Menu 4/5
Ordered:
California maki sushi rolls

This is going to be my favorite Japanese "casual" place in Dubai! Value for money. The food was simply delicious and well presented. We had tangy spicy salmon roll and one with avocado crab. The tuna was mouthwatering. Attentive service, the waiter was keeping an open eye at or table every time. They also brought some prawn crackers with spicy sauces while we were waiting. The restaurant was full: they serve alcohol and have a DJ. It's also opened till 3 am. Their promotions look worth to try: from ladies night, to happy hour and brunch which is happening on Thursday and Friday. Even if I like to try a new outlet from zomato gold whenever is possible, I am sure I will return here more times
Yesterday we went for office dinner party and we just love it.
In a very simple words- Awesome food, good environment and gentle service. 👍🏻
If yes haven’t been there, then please go and check it out. "
They make very good veg green curry..one of the best i hv tried so far..atmosphere is really good..bit expensive but if u hv zomato gold u get 1+1 .. the service is also very good..nice place to chill on weekend.
We all never miss a opportunity to go for brunches as they are the best way to unwind on weekend.
We visited Nara, serving Pan Asian cuisine. Here, every section of the brunch had good choices for vegetarians.
They have wide spread for vegetarians and non vegetarians.
Best restaurant to have authentic Korean BBQ! Limited choices compared to international buffet, but more than enough for BBQ lovers! Different kind of meat and sauces
Visited nara pan asian for lunch. They had happy hour. I would definitely recommend this place. Amazing chicken baos- if you like flavored, bit spicy food! Also spicy salmon roll! Simply delicious, creamy and full of flavors
