Nanbankan is a hidden gem that transports you straight to Japan! The moment you step inside, the cozy ambiance and authentic decor make you feel at home.
We ordered a variety of yakitori skewers: the chicken liver and bacon-wrapped asparagus were highlights, bursting with flavor! 🥢 The attentive staff refilled our drinks without us asking, making our dining experience even better.
Just a heads-up - definitely call ahead for reservations, as it can get busy. This place has been around for over 40 years for a reason! I can see why Chef Nobu loved dining here... 🍶
