Stay away from this place if you have any dietary requirements and ask them to sustitute ingredients, even if you are willing to pay the difference. This establishment was unwilling to substitute rice for stir fry vegetables. You are in the wrong business JERK OFF!!! I would have given no star, however yelp would not allow it . read more

This place is great for classic chicken teriyaki. Their food has great flavor and the chicken is always very juicy! They have a lot of other options like bulgogi, tempura, katsu and fish but I think a lot of these other options are a little pricy- ranging from $10-14 a plate. Chicken teriyaki is only about $8! And the lunch special is a total steal! Lunch time gets crazy busy though so be warned! read more

We got out of the car to go to the winery across the street and we both looked at each other and said that teriyakai smells fantastic...and it does! Super nice staff and good food! Stop by and enjoy. read more

The BEST Teriyaki around and their spring rolls beat everyone else's hands down. Great lunch special M-F for under $5.75 includes a drink. This place is a favorite for me and my coworkers. read more

When I want good sweet meat I go to Nara. The lunch special is definitely the best $5.50 you could spend on food. The Teriyaki Chicken is great, and my favorite thing about Nara is the sauces. I could eat a gallon of their peanut sauce, and probably have. So good! Go! read more

I go to George Fox and Nara's always makes for a good lunch escape. Their lunch special is reasonably priced and comes with a ton if food and a drink. I've never finished everything! read more

Excellent value for money. Not just quantity but the quality is superb. We felt like we were back on Okinawa with the flavorful lunch we had. Highly recommend! read more

Spicy chicken is a wonderful dish. The only suggestion would be little more organized when getting dishes prepared, several occasions when they have lost our ticket, had a 45 min wait. Other than that great tasting meals big portions . read more

Good food and huge portions....not the best beef....ill go back. Get the peanut sauce...

Hit and miss place. I usually get the bul go gi beef and mushroom plate here. First time I had it, it was delicious. A few times after the taste was just ok. A couple of times I didn't get mushrooms with the beef and that was a bummer. The place is tiny, best to have the food togo. Ok place to try. read more

I've always love their food. However, our service last night was simply unprofessional at best. After a long exhausting few days, we decided to grab something relatively quick for dinner. While we typically take out our food at Nara, we opted to go ahead and eat there because we had an errand to run afterwards and our young daughters were hungry. We arrived about 5:50p, waited in line to order and placed our order at 6:00p. We watched many people come and go and still we did not have our food. So, we inquired and were told our order was lost altogether. After being told they would rush a new order for us and have us something in 5-10 minutes, 25 minutes had passed and still we had nothing. By now it's past 7pm and our girls have totally lost patience. I sent my husband next door to Jem 100 while I waited another 15 minutes just to get my money refunded. All and all we were there for almost 1.5 hours and got nothing out of it except major frustration. I understand it can be hard to keep up during a rush time but it was clear they need to hire more help while the gal at the register was handling incoming calls, bagging orders, taking in house orders and customer service. She was working hard but it was clear there needed to be another person with organization. read more

Don't let the tough exterior deter you from trying this place. The serving sizes are pretty big and the food tastes great.

Really good food, love that they offer brown rice.

I love the food !! Great value. Great service , but found out that the server only receives the cash tips left for her and THE OWNER KEEPS ALL CREDIT AND DEBIT CARD TIPS. Go and enjoy because it is very good , but don't forget to tip your server in cash.. read more

This place is a favorite of mine. Fell for it after the first time eating there. Excellent price and great taste. Will be back sooner than later. read more

My wife and I go here a lot. Teriyaki chicken is good and if you buy an extra side of chicken the rice and veggies are enough for 2 no issue. The katsu is great also. The parking is the only downside. They have none. read more

Absolutely outstanding food! Loved eating here as a child and now that I've moved away, I rarely get the opportunity to delight myself with the food here. The lunch special is a must-have. There is a steady flow of customers around lunch time on weekdays which is proof of the lunch special's spectacular value. For under $7 you can have yourself perfectly cooked chicken, topped with savory Teriyaki sauce, a heaping scoop of white rice, a tasty salad, and a refillable drink cup. Can't get much better than that. If you're looking for good teriyaki in town, look no further! read more

The food was good, but the worry of what food born illness I might be contracting made me uneasy while I ate. Very popular place to eat in Newberg, I would hope they would value our health more and clean the place up and use proper protocol for handling used dishes. Good food and great prices.

It was really alot of food for the price. Well worth it. Tasted wonderful and my 1 year old loved the little gyoza that comes with the children s teriyaki chicken meal. very happy and I will go back read more

After eating at Nara, you will compare every single teriyaki chicken you eat to theirs. Their homemade teriyaki sauce is the best, chicken is cooked perfectly every time, portions are generous. Every time I go home to Newberg a stop at Nara is a guarantee. read more

Great Teriyaki chicken. Just note that the owner/cook is allegedly a dick and he apparently keeps the credit card tips you give to the waitress, so bring a few extra bucks in cash. The place is busy and the girls bust their butts to provide good service - at least the one that serves me does after my trumpet lessons on Mondays. Food's yummy read more

Tried and true. We often use Nara as our fall back dinner. Quick easy and tasty. There parking is kind of a bear and the shop isn't that great but the food always hits the spot and the food is always a consistent quality. read more

Have been going to Nara for years. It seems that they can't keep an employee very long and I suspect that is due to the owner, he is very rude and no matter how badly they screw up your older they would never offer that the next time they will replace your meal. The quality of the food seems like it's going out the window as a way of "cutting corners" they are even giving very little rice with the meals now too. Cheap cheap cheap. Don't waste your money at this establishment. Just a side note if you tip in cash to the tip jar the girl at the counter gets to keep tip however if you add a tip to the receipt the owner keeps the money, that in my opinion is NOT RIGHT. read more

Update if anyone cares: I do not work here anymore. I started having hassles with one of the cooks (the chubbier red headed korean lady) and i just couldnt take any of her shit anymore. She would blame me for her mistakes, get mad at me for stamping too much for you guys, etc, etc. Stupid things that added up and made a big impact on the work environment. People recognize me from there sometimes and wonder where I've been. Mr. Song (owner) made sure to let me know that if i ever needed a job, he would always be glad to have me back. I felt as though that was extremely kind and considerate of him, but that man just does not have the nads to tell that lady to shut her trap and own up to her mistakes, and until he does, i will not be choosing to work there again. Lasted a lot longer than the other cashiers though! I actually havent been back there or gotten food from them since. And its been around a month. You do crave it though. You'd think they put something in it to have that effect. Whatever it is, i want the street name for it. read more

Excellent choice for chicken teriyaki. Very generous portions, tender meat and friendly service. Love this place.

Food was good - I'd like to rate it higher but the cleanliness is why I probably won't be back. Sticky tables and floors, I have to scrape my own plate into an overflowing garbage can? Ick. Scared to see the kitchen area based on the dining side. Put a little pride and effort into this place and it would be amazing.....a lot of potential. read more

Great bang for your buck. The food is prepared quickly and it's good. I get the spicy chicken and it's great.

I have lived in Newberg for almost a year now and just realized this place was here. Stopped in for lunch today and got a teriyaki bento. The chicken was really good. The sauce was maybe a tad salty. The girl at the cash register was very nice and chatty and helped explain some of the menu items to me. I will definitely be back to try some other items on the menu. read more

Nara teryaki gets a three from me. My reasoning behind this is because the few times I've went in the tables are never very clean, they mischarged us, and their food is nothing amazing. There food is decent but It's not my first choice. People are nice though. read more

WOW! Food ok, service horrible. After a long day and wanting an easy meal, my family and I ordered take-out. When my husband picked it up and brought it home it was awful. Noodles dry, and salad (that we specifically asked not for) was soggy and warm. We paid WAY more than the prices online state. When I called to speak with them they replied that they never seasoned their noodles, and we needed to drive back to remedy the wrong order. So much for any easy meal. Go to another Bento place. Not worth the money at Nara Teriyaki!! read more

Absolutely love this place. Wish they'd work on the interior so it would be nicer to eat in, but that is minor. It is busy for a reason! Everything is delicious, owner is friendly, big portions, etc. Definitely recommend. read more

It's our favorite place for takeout teriyaki. Our kids love the chicken teriyaki and we are big fans of the vegetarian yakisoba. Everything is delicious and there is a lot of it. read more

My husband and I stopped by here for lunch on our way to McMinnville. We were a little nervous by it's appearance both on the outside and inside, but the food was FABULOUS and the price was even better! They had a lunch special for $5.75 which came with a large portion of teriyaki chicken, four potstickers, white rice, salad, and soda. I highly recommend their peanut sauce that they have on the counter behind the register. I also got a bowl of miso soup which was "average". read more

Great food, HORRIBLE service! New people always at the front counter (must not be a very good place to work) Very small, not much seating available, or parking. If you call an order in, double the time they tell you it will be ready - they must not know how to estimate time.... read more

my wife and i love nara! ive be eating there almost every weekend for the past 6 years!

called ahead to get an order of teriyaki chicken with yakisoba noodles and salad with no dressing (lactose intolerant boy here). when I arrived I asked if there was another dressing besides ranch, was told no, so I asked for a couple wedges of lemon with the salad and was told that wasn't a problem. got back to the office to discover no noodles and no lemon. called them back to complain and was told sorry but we can't fix it or do anything to compensate. First and last time I'll be going there. CUSTOMER SERVICE MATTERS. read more
