What Christopher Reynolds doesn't like about Izakaya Naru:
Naru is a really delicious Okinawa inspired Izakaya. Really good food and atmosphere! We had the gyoza and taco rice, both were delicious. The staff are super friendly and I plan on becoming a regular here. Highly recommend this place! View all feedback. What User likes about Izakaya Naru:
One of my favorite memories in Honolulu. Reservations are needed at this time. We ordered several items from the special and standard menu. From the current special menu I recommend the spicy bamboo shoot and shimmered beef censorship. The portion sizes for several of the items were much larger than I expected, but I would still recommend ordering about 3 dishes per person so that you can try more items. Other things...
