They have the best bulgogi and kimchi I have had in Clarksville. This place is in my regular rotation.

We absolutely love this Korean restaurant. I ordered kimchi soup, and my husband ordered spicy squid. Everyone was very friendly, and we will definitely return. read more

Tonight was my first time trying Naru since moving to Clarksville. Wait time was 40 minutes which is to be expected for AYCE on a Friday night. The restaurant was clean and inviting and the food was delicious. I recommend the beef bulgogi and top blade. Ari was our waitress and she was so friendly and attentive. Will definitely be back! read more

Naru Korean BBQ - Korean Near Me - Clarksville, Tennessee

Party of 9 and called ahead. Our table was waiting for us and they were not very busy since we got there at 5:30. Our neighbors have 5 children and their only exposure to Korean food was through me. I've eaten here before and it was good. And since they had no clue about the menu or what to order, I ordered for the table and requested everything be served "family style". I also requested tasting spoons for all and forks for most. I ordered 2 bulgogi, 2 spicy pork bulgogi, 2 Kalbi short ribs, seafood pancake, and kimchi jigae. While the food was fine, I hate soggy rice. I don't like the way they serve the bulgogi over the rice with so much juice! You know those small metal cups(water cups) that are sitting on a small saucer? When we asked for extra plates so we could all share and taste. Our server told us to use the little saucer that was under the little cup. Ugh. I wanted to really give my neighbors a good first impression but clearly our server had too much going on for him to handle. Also, for some reason the food and menu wasn't the same as it was 6months earlier. I do like that they keep the TVs on a Korean Pop/Rap video channel. read more

I have been sick for days after going there. The prices were absolutely ridiculous. Cold rice, sides were old, the lighting made it so you couldn't even tell if the meat was cooked or not. I over cooked it just to try and avoid food poisoning, still didn't work. The rules of the restaurant are absurd. The whole experience was awful and robs your wallet. Do not recommend. Go anywhere else in Clarksville. Service wasn't good either. Ambiance wasn't good, it was cold and so dark. Just don't go here. read more

Asian food (outside of the Indian subcontinent) has never been my thing. I've had some decent ramen, but overall, the flavors and textures just aren't my preference. But I wanted to try something new, so I tried Naru. Naru is Korean. They have a regular menu and a BBQ menu. We tried a regular menu to start. I am not 100 percent clear on the BBQ part, as to whether they cook it or you cook it, but you usually get a private room, and pretty much all you can eat (but don't order more than you can eat, because there is an additional charge for leftovers). Anyway, the menu is a little confusing to those new to the system, but the staff is happy to answer questions. I ordered the ramen. I've had better in NYC, but it was still warm and pleasant and salty. I also accidentally ordered the cold spicy noodles (like I said, we didn't quite understand the menu, that's on us). I wasn't a huge fan, but the experience of the food was better than the flavors for me. I had no idea how to assemble or eat the dish. A man I assumed to be the owner, noticed my confusion and came over to our table. He showed me how to assemble the dish, which sauces to use, and how to eat it. I really appreciated that, and it was a lot of fun! He was so friendly and helpful! My husband had a teriyaki lunch box, and it was pretty tasty. I have friends who eat here, who really enjoy it, and I'm told local Koreans also give kudos to this food. So even though I'm not a big fan of this type of food in general, I would try it again, just to try more new things and to learn more about the culture. read more

What a gem in Clarksville. I have eaten my share of Korean BBQ on the coasts, and I must say that Naru hits the spot. First, the ambiance is pretty close to what I would expect from a Korean BBQ place. Second, we had beef brisket, pork belly, bulgogi, galbi, rib eye, and pork jowl on the grill. The bulgogi and galbi were a tad on the sweet side, but that is pretty typical of most Korean restaurants. The brisket and rib eye were well-marbled and melted in your mouth. The ban-chon were plentiful, and they provided more when we ran out. I also had the kimchi jigae which was also excellent. It was better than how my mom made it. A minor criticism of Naru is that the menu is not as expansive as other Korean restaurants. However, what they have on the menu, they do well. I would definitely go back when I am in Clarksville again. read more

I must say this is a nice restaurant. Their Cold buckwheat noodles are THE BEST I have ever had. I am obsessed with them! I did have an issue when once I tried to order them on a delivery app. They were not listed so I selected something similar and put it in the notes. I was actually called and told the owner would not allow the substitution. Very disappointing. Same price, they knew what I wanted and know I frequent there, but...nope. SMH. However, they are good so I still frequent the establishment. Their plum iced tea is unique, tart, delicious and refreshing! Bulgogi is tasty. Appetizers are yummy. Portions and price points are very solid. Try them if you are near Lowe's! read more

Naru is one of our favorite restaurant in Clarksville. The food is great. The service is friendly and very accommodating. The ambiance is also nice. We love to do the BBQ in one of the private rooms. read more

Tried to eat here at 750 on a Sunday. Sign says they don't close until 9. Every single worker was completely unhappy we dared to walk in. We said we wanted BBQ, the waiter all but sucked his teeth. He turned and looked at the kitchen reluctantly. We decided to eat elsewhere. We won't be back. Such a hostile environment we walked into. read more

Stumbled on this place while road tripping through the Carolinas/Tennessee. We elected to order from the menu instead of doing the all-you-can eat BBQ. My brother had the Bulgogi with rice and I have Bibimbap. Both were delicious. We also both had plum teas which was delicious as usual. Korean BBQ is a usually a reliable choice and Naru didn't disappoint. Fresh, delicious food that is healthy and leaves you feeling satisfied. read more

First time trying Korean food it's very different and unique. It's not for me and hubby. We love to try different restaurants when we can. Service was nice. I like how they brought my husband's food out first. Nice atmosphere. Very clean establishment. If you love Kombucha and Korean. Try them out. The shots got the job done. read more

Great first experience for Korean bbq! Our waitress was super helpful with our experience and helped explain everything well! The facility is clean and very welcoming! LOVED the food & endless sides with our meat choices! Wasn't a huge fan of the pork belly unfortunately, non the less everything else was great! read more

Stopped by here during the week after grabbing some groceries. The atmosphere is quiet refreshing. It's quiet and a bit more private if you get the BBQ tables. HIGHLY RECOMMEND shelling out the cash for the "all you could eat" option. It's about $30 per person, but provides you endless servings of about 6-7 types of meat. The waiting staff is amazing. They're extremely attentive to you're every need and continually check to make sure you have the gradual flow of continuous food that you want. This place taste great and that's coming from me, a kid from California, who grew up enjoying Korean style restaurants and barbecues. read more

With Hankook Tire and LG opening their factory locations in Clarksville, there were some Korean restaurant opened in anticipation of that. This is one of them. The owners' family used to run restaurants in ATL (other family may still do), and we were so happy to have an authentic Korean restaurant that tastes modern and good. Here, you need to know what to get though. Spicy beef brisket soup with noodle (You could get the soup without noodles, which is served with rice instead) : Its spicy but not overwhelmingly spicy. There is brisket, bean sprouts (the Korean kind not the pho kind), long stems of green onions. This stuff is soo good! When its cold out and I dont want pho, this is what I get. The brisket could taste a little chewy but that's how think brisket tastes in soup(I think). Spicy Sausage Soup : This is not too spicy. It has sausages/hotdogs, tofu and kimchi in the soup. This is called Budae Jjigae in Korea and its very popular soup where you could add ramen noodles to it. You could get a large one where you could share or an individual one. Its served with rice and side dishes. If you like kimchi soup, you will like this too. Spicy pork over rice and spicy squid over rice is very good here. I think they do spicy better than non spicy. If you are feeling a little more daring try their Spicy beef short rib. Its come with Korean cut (not LA galbi) short ribs with rice cake, potato, carrots and onions. One thing to note is their Dolsot Bibimbap is not served on a stone bowl, but instead served in a stone tray!! Its not that they give more food, but its just wide and hard to mix. I think Golae has the best Bibimbap. read more

Very very good authentic Korean BBQ. Good service. Pleasant polite staff. Clean and pleasant environment all around

Amazing food amazing service! Our waiters were on top of it and extremely attentive. The food was authentic and extremely filling. The environment was upscale and pleasant. read more

Great food, great place..but a bit pricey. You'll definitely be happy with the quality though.

Back home you can find AYCE kbbq on every other block for $10-$20 lunch specials. Usually $20-$35 for dinner. I believe it was about $30 all you can eat per person for dinner, which is fair. Service was mediocre, we had to ask for everything we wanted a few times. Meat marinade was fairly good. I read that this was one of the only all you can eat places. Glad we don't live too far. Sides were good, not super fresh though. Ate about 2-3 rounds of 3 diff meats per round. Sauces were good. Can't go wrong with adding jalapeños and garlic onto the grill. Will def be back to get my fix at least once a month or every couple months. Bf isn't too big on the buffets/all you can eat and I don't wanna go alone, haha. All my pics are blurry cause I only took a video, so screenshots from that. read more

The ambiance of the place was actually really nice the amount of lighting was a good amount as to not be too bright the sitting were booth I came in a group of 6 so we were all able to fit into one booth which was nice. The service was alright reason being was that the waiter wouldn't really come around to actually check on us and ask if we needed anything we had to wave down the waiter just to request anything we needed from food to drinks at one point our waiter disappeared not saying if he was going on break or anything so we were confused as to who we should ask for anything. Now the food honestly was really good! The quality for what we got is to be expected but I felt like the food honestly was quite expensive but they only charged for the meats the simple stuff like rice and side dishes were all free. At the end of it everything that we ordered came out to a total of about 60-70 a person. It was great but I don't think I'd return just due to pricing as I prefer the all you can eat at a set price which is about 50% than what was paid but there's nothing wrong with this place! Would definitely recommend to others if they don't mind splurging on premium quality food. read more

Pleasant experience at Naru Korean BBQ. Not a big fan of Clarksville cuisine but Naru did not disappoint. The customer service was "top notch". The server was extremely helpful when explaining menu items and even brought out some "gochujang" when I was trying to enhance my meal. Service is prompt, meal was superb, a must go in Clarksville. read more

So disappointed, over priced and everything was so sweet and thick pasty sauce , that's not "tang " as Korean soup/ stew type . It's all Americanized . If you want Real Korean food . Try somewhere else. As Korean / America, embarrassing to say that's Korean food . Definitely need to improve. read more

pretty nice, however soup is beyond bland. wish folks would take into consideration of many folks palates.

I really liked this place but unfortunately they moved to a new location and the price has soared $$$$ . The food portions are less .I ordered the spicy squid and on my plate I got a portion of stir fried onions with broccoli which was horrible real greasy. I guess my family will be finding another place to go . I could not believe a Korean BBQ with Grill was $200.00 maybe for 2 ? Omg....... read more

Nice place, good service, and delicious Korean food. Highly recommend. I had the kimchi jigae and, of course, delicious banchan.

Based on yelp we popped in here and this is a hidden gem. (In the Lowes shopping center). We came an hour before closing and yes the kitchen closes before the restaurant so we ordered immediately, again based on yelp reviews. Amazing, fresh and a lovely staff. Will be back and plan to try the brewery a few doors down as well. read more

Their food is good but their heat has been out for a month and I think they're too cheap to fix it. They're using ghetto propane heaters for now, but they're incredibly ineffective. We love coming here but I don't think I'll be back until you fix your heat. The moment you fix your heat I'll update my review to 5 stars. read more

1. So walk in "by myself" and was asked if I wanted to sit and cook the meat on my own. When I advised them I did, I was told I couldn't because I only had 1 in my party! Why the F$ck would you ask me then??? 2. Just about everything I asked for I was not able to get! Also wanted a "lunch special" bunch was only available in spicy! Why make everything spicy???? Not everyone wants spicy food (MY opinion)! 3. Was going to order bulgogi, but they do not have lettuce! What the???? 4. Settled on Pork Belly for two. Uhhhh, seriously disappointed to get 1 helping of rice for two people! Oh so disappointed in this restaurant! Had such high hopes to have great Korean BBQ today & they killed that dream! read more

Delicious every time, with an attentive and friendly staff. The seafood pancake is a must.

Yes this is a real Korean BBQ. The marinated short ribs fall off the bone and the flavor is amazing. My favorite is the fried squid and of course the pickled condiments including the kimchi. I am not a kimchi fan, but theirs is really good and since it was next to the pickles thought I would try it. You're picking up groceries anyway so you may as well order and prick it up as you go by. read more

On any give Saturday night you can count on two things happening in Clarksville: electric cowboy will be bumping, and Naru KBBQ will be packed. Always call ahead if you want the grill, it will be good 4 u. The food was very bland at the regular tables, but have heard many good things about the grill. Other than that the service was . The ambiance here is not conducive to 5/10 year goal conversations. read more
