I was lucky enough to get to try some of the menu items a day before the opening. If you like shrimp, I suggest you get their Shrimp Ceviche appetizer.  It's delicious!   And Don't pas on the Spring rolls.  If you're feeling playful, the smoked salmon spring rolls have an incredible flavor that you're sure to be recommending to your friends.

"Nana" or Nina by her given name, uses fresh ingredients to create authentic meals.  She has a passion for the food and has been cooking in Minnesota since she moved here many years ago from Des Moines.  She was a personal chef up until this new venture.

Nana has lived in Sartell long enough to call it her hometown and the restaurant is a family affair.  She's teaching her kids the love of food, the responsibility of business ownership and the importance of a good meal.

During my visit, my entree was the Udon. The homemade noodles were incredible and the broth so tasty!  I also love some heat so I added the pepper oil that's provided.  But that part is up to you.  Want to walk a little on the wild side, try the Kao Piek noodles, which I was told is similar to the Udon noodle.
