Nandina Asian Tapas

Lower Greenville's Sushi & Asian Tapas Hot Spot

  • Happy Hour w/ Small Plates
  • Lunch Specials w/ Patio Dining
  • Premium Sake and Full Bar

Nandina combines the hot trends for sushi and tapas dishes. Some dishes are ideal for sharing but some you should be selfish and keep for yourself. Nandina is well known for it's beautiful patio complete with fountains and shade trees. Perfect for enjoying lunch on a warm, Spring afternoon. Come a little later to enjoy happy hour, with a full bar and Premium Sake. Have some work to finish up, take advantage of the Free Wifi they offer to the customers.

Nandina specializes in Asian Tapas and Sushi but also has a broad menu of Thai dishes and Japanese creations. They offer take out, late night dining (staying open until 3am) as well as delivery within a 5mile radius.

Yes, delivery is convenient but you really need to come down and experience this authentic Asian Tapas gathering spot first hand. We look forward to seeing you soon. Note - Free parking in lot behind restaurant.

Editorial Review for Nandina Asian Tapas – by Nathan Stull

The Scene
The sleek interior features lightly toned walls, accented by dark floors and ceiling. A clear waterfall draws attention while the outdoor patio provides a (just far enough away) view of Greenville. The patio is a quieter area for dining. Servers are attentive and courteous, while patrons consist of business types and M Street residents. Delivery is offered to a limited area. The full bar offers sake, wine and beer in addition to mixed drinks.

The Food

The menu is sushi and Thai dishes designed for sharing. A strong starter is the pot sticker-like basil chicken wrap. For variety and simplicity, sushi combos are a good bet with tuna, shrimp, salmon pieces. The crunchy roll is fetching with the interior tempura mixing with the soft rice exterior. Thai options include invigorating curry dishes, such as the chicken panang--the zesty sauce is addictive.

Ok, the food is great when you go in person, but I usually don't complain about delivery orders but, seriously!!, I needed Rosetta Stone to place my order. I came home from a long night of working and had a craving for take out. So I called up Nandina's and spent 45 minutes explaining my addresses and apartment number and what I wanted to eat.. I had to spell each word with a military signals, you know, C for charlie, F for Fox or Fried rice. By the time my food arrived I was past out with a box of crackers watching sports center and had to eat it for breakfast. Like i said great food and service when dining in, just have a translator when ordering take out.

I've been eating at Nandina approximately once every two weeks for the past two years, and I will keep coming back. I mostly order my food to go, but I've dined at the restaurant many times. I'm not sure where the stories of bad service come from. The menu is a little on the pricey side if you can eat a lot of sushi like I can, but the sushi is high quality. Their tapas are always excellent. I've had sushi at many different Dallas restaurants, and the food here compares very favorably to the other places I've been. The parking situation leaves a lot to be desired, but that's the only draw back that I can think of.
