NaRa-Ya Washington, District of Columbia 20024

"Nara-Ya was a fun brunch spot that was welcoming and aesthetically pleasing. They do $40 all you can eat brunch until 3pm on the weekend. For $25 more, you can also do bottomless mimosas! We started off strong with the Steak & Eggs, which was so juicy and delicious! I highly recommend this. Otherwise, everything else left much to be desired- the miso pork belly mash was cold and not crispy as advertised, the dumplings were overcooked and crunchy, the sushi rolls were falling apart and lacked in flavor, the French toast was undercooked. Overall, a great time for a brunch, especially being able to look out onto the Wharf harbor, but the food is not their strong suit."

"Let me start by saying…phenomenal place! Located at the newly renovated Wharf in Southwest this place is definitely a charm. Went without some beautiful ladies on a mini brunch outing and I must say we fell in love with our visit . The dishes were lovely. Unlike other unlimited brunches, the staff brings you the brunch items according to your group. At first I said hmm but then realized that’s a great idea. Dennis our server(great service BTW) informed us on this. The best best we’re definitely the Roasted Potatoes, Matcha Pancakes, California Roll. Oh wait I said the best lol so yes those three for sure. They also offer the Steak n Eggs(10/10), chicken&waffles and so much more. Wasn’t a fan of the chicken that was with the waffle. If going for brunch and you want to be around less people definitely go before 1p. Only down part was we didn’t get to try other Salmon sushi ; they never brought it out to us which sucks because we requested twice. They had bottomless drinks but we just did the one because our guest was running late. Their policy is if one orders unlimited every one at the table has to do unlimited. So that takes a way the one star. Definitely will be going back for Dinner. So another review awaits soon. Thank you Nara-Ya for the lovely experience !"

"The ambiance was cool and the interior design set a fun vibe. I went for brunch and the drinks were amazing, especially the 3.1. Sadly, while the food had some really interesting and exciting flavor combinations it was below expectations. The steak in the steak & eggs was burned and charred. The eggs in the fried chicken Benedict were over cooked and the chicken was dry. The cottage cheese blueberry toast had almost no flavor. The French toast was very good, though the center was very undercooked and gooey. The service was great but the food didn't live up to expectations."

"Review from @brunchwithbutters Great vibes, views, and AMAZING food!! Great spot to split plates with friends for brunch, a nice little date brunch, or a birthday meal, or any occasion honestly, and It's just all around a great atmosphere. The overall brunch is $40 per person and TOTALLY worth it!! Don't do the bottomless mimosas too, cause that's too much in your stomach and I promise you want the room for the food!! *It does say all parties of the table have to participate in the bottomless mimosas. Ok so not pictured was :::: Fried Chicken and Waffles... Fried chicken eggs Benedict (INCREDIBLE)... A whipped cottage cheese toast w/ blue berries... A Spicy Tuna Roll... Takoyaki Balls. And of course these were all amazing. ** Check out their Instagram @Nara-Ya for great pics of some of their stuff. I also just got this great magnet from the Smithsonian Natural History Museum and now going to put it in my posts on IG. #foodie"

"My experience was wonderful. I treated a guy on our second date, in which he was very impressed. The hosts and server were very personable. The food and drinks were aesthetically pleasing along with the ambiance of the venue. This is a great place to celebrate and engage during special occasions."
