What User likes about Nanban:
Wow. The flavors of the empanadas we had were excellent. I would definitely return. The cashier at the counter was humorous and welcoming. His enthusiasm and personality added to the overall enjoyment of our meal. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Nanban:
I waited for 1.5 hours to receive 5 pieces of cauliflower that cost me $8. While I enjoy dining out, I found it ridiculous to wait so long for such a small portion size, especially considering my previous dining experiences. View all feedback.
