National’s Cafe — Restaurant in Carson City

Despite the Cafe's misleading name, an obsequious one that let me overlook the fact that this place is an Asian restaurant, I came here for some chicken teriyaki. What they served me was excellent!

I had a bit of craving for the teriyaki for a good while, and theirs hit the spot! The miso soup was a welcome addition to my meal.

I do have minor criticism about one thing that I had there. The gyoza were a bit too light on the filling. However, they were crispy and tasty, nonetheless!

All of my food was well presented, and they included a refreshing cucumber salad with a vinegary flavor. It had a peculiar topping that I couldn't quite identify. Imitation crab, maybe? I'm no expert on shellfish, nor imitation, so I can't tell you what they topped it with.

Since my grandfather was allergic to shellfish, in general, and my family didn't eat it often, I just avoid it these days. I still tried a taste of it. Looking at the picture, someone might be able to guess what it is. I have no opinion about its flavor.

Years ago, this place used to be a sandwich shop when I was younger. While I miss enjoying that business's food, particularly their French Dips with chips, I've gained a new restaurant's food to enjoy for what they offer; some really good teriyaki! Change doesn't have to be frightening!

PS: The service was excellent. The woman who served my table brought everything in intervals. I didn't have to wait too long for anything. The asian cuisine program they had up on the tv was interesting too! It was probably one of the most deaf-friendly forms of entertainment I can think of, not to mention interesting for being foreign content and subtitled...

We had gone there when they had 1st open and the food was absolutely delicious we had ordered $250 worth of food and drinks. We had told all of our friends how great they were and that they should go. We went last night with a group of friends and ordered the same thing that we had ordered on the 1st time we had went. (Beef ribs ) The 1st time we had ordered the beef ribs they were actual size beef ribs and very tender and delicious.. Last night the ribs were cut in half or 3rd and Extremely dry. Very Disappointing. My son had ordered a pizza And there is a hair in the pizza. We had told the waitress about our experience and she seemed that it was no big deal and told us that they had changed their menu around. We will not...

Absolutely AWFUL! The service was horrendous. The waitress barely even talked to us. When she brought us our plates & water, she didn't say anything & set them down roughly (so much so that our water actually sloshed out of the cups). Our table was sticky & there was food on the floor. I'm not sure why we stayed at this point, but we did. When the sushi came, it looked ok, but it was so bland! We tried 4 different rolls & they all tasted the same.... Totally bland. We ordered some mussels that were so chewy, I couldn't even eat them. My husband & I both wound up sick that night. I can't believe how many people like this place. We will NOT...
