Brad C: Some favorites are: bonbochi, pork belly, pork sausage, beef tongue. The lamb is also amazing. You can't go wrong here.
Nima: The Lamb with salt (not garlic) and black cod are a must. Be sure to order an overflowing glass or two or three of kurosawa sake with your meal. I was a nanbankan addict for months!
eeena d.: Get a seat by the bar. Faster service and you get to watch the chefs cook up your skewers. I always get the nanbanyaki, chicken tail and lamb.

Michele: Usually if the bread isn't good neither is the rest of your food but the chicken ravioli, gnocchi, salmon, and dessert was some of the best I've had.
