"For a spicy chicken platter lunch in Williamsburg, there’s Nara Chicken. Located in the old Kuku Chicken space on Havemeyer, the concept here is similar: fast casual Korean proteins served with kimchi and rice." - will hartman
The curry fried rice and chicken tenders will live in my mind rent free. Easy kiosk system to order and service was nice & fast. Seating is limited (~4/5 bar stools) so mostly a takeout place. The crispy fried chicken had great texture & didn’t feel as heavy as regular fried chicken bc the batter was lighter which I appreciated- I’d recommend giving them a quick air fry if you’re doing take out. The curry fried rice was super flavorful & nostalgic, a must order for me. I’d definitely go back.

One of the best fried chicken I ever had! Get it with the nara spicy garlic dip. Japchae (noodles) were also super delicious. Tteokbokki was not too spicy, good if you like it on the milder side. New favorite spot!

I asked for the spiciest dish, and he recommended the spicy chicken. I was expecting a blaze of heat, like super spicy noodles. But honestly, it was more like a gentle warmth - I'd rate it a 1 out of 10 in terms of spiciness. Still, I enjoyed it!

I’ve tried almost every Korean chicken spot in the city, and this place is the BEST. Garlic chicken highly recommended. Employees are very friendly.

This cute Korean place is run by mother and son. The food is out of this world. Delicious! Plus the owners are the sweetest people you will ever meet. Quality and taste is in every bite you take. You must try short ribs, sweet and spicy wings, crispy pork potstickers and garlic drumsticks.

Food was totally bleh. I had some fried chicken which did not taste fried or savory or crispy and was kinda moist and wet and some rice with beef, which tasted fine I guess
Service was good though. Guy working at the counter was great

The spicy garlic wings are SO good. Very garlicky, very spicy. Definitely not for those who can’t handle spice, but if you love spice, you will love it.
10/10 one of my top fried chicken places

Got the Spicy Pork platter and it was yummy! The price is very expensive at $25 for just that dish but I will say the flavors were great. Price point makes it too unaffordable to make a casual take-out spot though unfortunately

All of the food is so delicious and well made with generous portions! The chicken is crispy and juicy, the sauce is amazing, even the bowl tasted so fresh and well seasoned! I don't really post reviews often but this place deserves it

As a Korean American that's had trouble finding good Korean food in North Brooklyn, Nara is it. Even though they specialize in chicken, they have the neighborhood's best, most authentic Korean food.
I am a big fan of the soft tofu stew and love their kimchi side dish (good kimchi is a big indicator of how good a Korean restaurant is for me).

Generous portions, pork was perfectly cooked, juicy not dry, same with the egg. I'll go again

I was in Williamsburg today and I was starving. I was craving Korean chicken and I found Nara chicken and OMG the best Korean chicken I've ever had. 10/10. First, I got the half/half chicken wings and they were so crispy while being juicy on the inside. I also got the lemonade which was super refreshing esp on a 90+ degree day like today. Also the service was great everyone was so chill! If ya wanna support a delicious family owned business check this place out. 10/10
