My husband and I had dinner at Nan last evening (3/22/08) and had a very disappointing experience. When we entered the restaurant there was no host or hostess in sight. After waiting several minutes, I had to search out the hostess in the back of the restaurant. She then seated us without a greeting or a smile or an apology... more

Okay, but doesn't live up to the hype. Plus, the decor s*cks. There are certainly better BYOBs around. more

Overrated, but a great choice if you're in West Philly and looking for something special. The genre is Asian fusion. While it's a bit uninspired, it's still good and will satisfy. more

The location and shabby appearance is deceiving. As soon as you walk inside you are surrounded by a delicate, simple, clean decor. The menu was selective in its offerings...very thoughtful dishes.

I had compared the restaurants participating in the University City Dining Days event and decided to try Nan (rather than Penne, a favorite of ours in the area.) When we arrived at Nan I was a bit concerned about its appearance and location but I had looked at... more

Nan is, simply, a great restaurant. Many of the dishes are inventive and they all "work." However, I find myself ordering Pad Thai time and time again when I visit. Why?

Excellent value, gracious service from a chef who started the asian fusion experience in Philly. BYOB which makes it even a better value. Have only had terrific experiences. more

This is one of the BEST restaurants in Philly. The food is exquisite (really, it is) and the service is very professional. I keep returning over and over because it is always such a treat. Also, save room for dessert- it is WELL worth every calorie. more
