    I typically don't give 5 star reviews but this place deserves this rating. It's a smaller family owned korean restaurant that has a very homey vibe. They have about 10 tables total and the environment is clean and fresh. Food was spectacular, some of the yummiest Korean food I've had in the lower mainland. The Korean fried chicken is to die for. Would totally repeat just for the fried chicken alone. Prices are pretty fair for quality and portion size of food you get. Services was superb and the server gave us free sauce to try with our fried chicken to experience the difference flavors. I'll definitely be a frequent customer at this restaurant!

    Tried the Na-Re Special chicken which came with three different dipping sauces and matcha salt. The chicken was super crispy; the matcha salt was a perfect combo alongside the dipping sauces as well. The server was kind and fast, which made the overall experience even better. If I had to describe Na-Re in a few words, I'd say it's a laid back home-y vibe with casual bites that's great for groups.

    Definitely not a place for vegetarians or vegans, though they do have one vegan soup dish, everything else comes with meat even if not listed on the menu. Had the Na-Re Special Bulgogi Noodle and kimchi fried rice and both were great. The cheese on the fried rice was so smoky.

    The food was pretty good and tasted authentic. I enjoyed the gimbap and fried chicken the most. The food is a bit on the pricier side for the area, but we enjoyed our meal. We got to enter the contest for Taylor Swift tickets!

    Tiny hidden gem outside the heart of highgate. You get to choose between a mix of traditional and modern Korean dishes that’s hard to find in one spot. The place is dainty and the food is made right. To top it off, the servers here are such friendly sweethearts. If you ever are at this side of town. I high recommend dropping by to unwind and have a delicious meal.

    Cute little Korean restaurant, very homey vibe. Ordered the half and half fried chicken: sweet soy and original, black bean noodle (jjajangmyun), soy sauce tteokboki (rice cakes), and tofu soup (soondubu). Left with a super full stomach. The tofu soup and fried chicken were really good but the noodles and tteokboki was a little lacking flavor. Friendly staff. We got there at 5pm when they opened. No line at that time but the restaurant filled up quite quickly. By the time we left there was a party waiting for a table. The tables are spaced out but there are no dividers between.

    This little restaurant is easy to miss on the strip of edmonds, but if you have a chance or would love so amazing Korean food definitely check Na-Re out! I’ve tried to come many times in the summer, but the wait was always over an hour long, but luckily now in the winter things have calmed down and I finally got to try out this place. My whole experience was great from the cleanest of the restaurant to the service and of course the food. The staff was nice and constantly checking up on us. We got our food quickly and piping hot. My favourite dish was the the soy tteokbokki which mimicked flavours of a japchae. The rice cakes were cooked so well compared to other places I’ve been too. I also loved the Korean fried chicken. Super crispy and juicy. I will definitely come back and try more on there menu.

    Pretty good food (original fried chicken and sweet & spicy, and spicy squid over stone rice bowl), service is okay. a good place to visit if craving for some korean food. We have yet to try other dishes, so we may come back if we are craving variety of korean dishes. I prefer a place where they specialize in one or two type of korean dish (e.g. tofu soup / korean chinese / etc) and this place is a good generalist rather than a specialist. The friend chicken is the old generation style, it's not fancy as other contemporary korean fried chicken places. I like this type of kfc sometimes.

    One of the best Korean Friend Chicken I had in BC. The chicken skin is so crispy and the meat is so juicy. The price is in the mid-level, but is definitely worth it. (I have everything taken photo except the chicken 😅) The soju taste flight is very pretty, but I got it for the look, after trying 4 different flavours, next time I will just get the one I like the most. (More value)

    I ordered the spicy jajangmyeon which is not too heavy (not sweet and salty enough), but the Na-Re Special korean fried chicken was pretty well fried; except the sauces were soso and too little.

    First time dining at Na-Re, it only opens during dinner hours. Food was all tasty and I think it’s operated by Korean so it’s authentic. It was also my first time trying raw beef, it’s surprisingly good!

    This place has some of the Korean food I’ve had on Vancouver! Their Na-re chicken and all the sauces were great and the beef tartar had great flavour. The Beef Bulgogi soup was sweet and still kept its strong beef flavour!

    Absolutely loved everything we tried, the special is a huge batch of deliciously tender chicken with a variety of sauces, each one a treat. For a small place, the interior is fresh and inviting, the staff is very friendly and attentive, and cold noodles were great! Definitely will be coming back for more.

    Very cozy atmosphere with great food! Got the fried chicken which wasn't dry at all. The kimchi rice was flavour and cheesey! I would come again for sure!

    Service was nice and food was super fresh and delicious. I thought the chicken was perfectly fried and tossed in the right amount of sauce. I usually think bibimbap is overrated but wow the portion size for this one was generous and so yummy.

    Small restaurant. Everything is pretty good on their menu. Decent portion. But be careful they get easily full tables. Make a reservation to make sure you don't need to wait too long!

    Very tasty! Everything was really good. The only critique I would have is their special Korean fried chicken dish. It comes with four special dipping sauces, but the portions were very small. We could barely dip two or three pieces of chicken. I would recommend ordering the other fried chicken dishes where they cover all the pieces with their respective sauces. For example the soy sauce sweet chicken our table next to us appeared to be completely covered in the sauce.

    I've only heard about Na-Re from a friend and I have to say, I was really happy with all the food that we ate. The servers were also very thoughtful to cater to all our needs and requests 👌🏻 The only deal breaker for me was the space. We kinda had to wait for more than 30 mins to be seated but totally understandable because it was dinner time. The place was cozy and the tables were pretty small I guess. Food was served on big plates so it was challenging to fit them all in a single table. Overall, I really enjoyed it here and will definitely come back to try the other dishes on the menu 😊
