   We ordered a position from the menu that was advertised as not spicy, this dish came spicier than dish spice rating of three. The person that ordered this, can't tolerate hot food, so was unable to eat it. We were offered another dish instead or same dish re-made, but since other members of the party nearly finished, there was no point. Spicy chips were severally over salted. Unfortunately we were not offered a discount for the not eaten dish, we ended up paying for the whole dish. All in all, the food is good, but were disappointed that we were offered a replacement dish but not a discount when we declined.

   Very straightforward and solid dining experience. Good wine list by the bottle and some cool cocktails. Food was a bit mixed. The crab claws could've been a little less tough; and the lamb shank comes in a curry sauce (so kind of kills the purpose of ordering a lamb shank). Rest of our dishes, especially the noodles, dumplings, vegetarian main course, and the sizzling duck were all excellent! Prices are very reasonable compared to other Galway city restaurants so our meal for three with drinks and a bottle of wine didn't break the bank. Overall, we would highly recommend Re Nao to anyone looking for a relaxed, easy-going night out. My wife is Asian and she absolutely loves it here 😊

   From the staff service, to the atmosphere, to the food - every visit Re Nao is fantastic, and I would absolutely recommend. The have a great variety of amazing dishes in their menu, as well as an entire vegan menu.

   It was very poor, the place was chaotic, they had given away our table although we arrived 5 minutes before our booking, we waited and eventually got a seat we couldnt wait at the bar because it was packed with dirty glasses. The bathroom was filthy no handsoap there were empty cans and paper all over the floor, people drinking outside by the water were coming in and out using the toilet. Duck dish was rubbery and sauce was watery with no flavour, the pork belly was rubber and not good either. Overall very dissapointing

   Very poor experience overall. We had heard good things about the food and booked as a party of 4. We had to wait over an hour after ordering for any food to come to our table. Other tables were sat after us and recieved food before us. When we enquired about the delay we were told ours was being cooked next?! and were given a bowl of prawn crackers as a gesture. When the food came, our order was incorrect, recieved pork instead of chicken and at this point we were so hungry, we ate what was placed. We then ordered 2 cocktails and 2 beers and 5 mins after ordering, we were told that our cocktails would be delayed as another table had a large drinks order in ahead of us. Our waitress also offered to comp the beers(but not all 4 drinks) as another gesture but the beers never made it to the table. After a further 20mins we cancelled the drinks order and paid the bill and left. It didn't seem like there was a restaurant manager in place and the staff seemed overwhelmed. Had a manager been there, I feel the whole situation would have been dealt with better. Very disappointing, won't be returning.

   Good variety and quality food. Full vegan menu also available. Excellent service. Good drinks menu and wine list. Bubble Teas is a new thing there and looks very interesting, like a cocktail of liquor and tea.

    I ate here with a friend for the first time last night. We were seated at a table with direct sunlight in my friend’s eyes so they allowed us to move which was nice. This was about the last nice thing that happened. They were out of Sake so we ordered wine and received our drinks and appetizer pretty quickly. After that, we did not see or hear from anyone regarding our food for almost an hour. We ordered fried rice so it shouldn’t have been a terribly long wait and we realized everyone else around us had gotten their meals and left. I approached our server to ask about our entrees and she went to the kitchen where I could see in and it was clear they’d forgotten about them. She told us instead that the kitchen was very busy which was untrue as we were sitting right next to it. When the food came out it was hot but utterly flavorless. There was no salt or seasoning at the table so I asked for soy sauce and received instead a dish of chili sauce which was not helpful. It wasn’t worth asking again at that point. Overall a super frustrating experience and the food was not at all worth the wait and trouble.

    Would have given it 6 stars if I could, based almost entirely on one dish - the crispy fried mushrooms! Absolutely amazing. Can't remember when I was last so blown away with a dish.

    The flavours were off and the dishes were prepared a little poorly. My noodles were all stuck together in one lump and my partner’s rice was a little stale. Not terrible but not worth the price.

    Had a lovely meal last night, staff friendly attentive and hard working. Drunken master cocktail was one of nicest I’ve ever had bubble tea also went down a hit. Korean chicken wings delicious My husband had the twice cooked pork belly and he loved it. My satay and my daughters Singapore noodles were lovely and spicy chip are a must. No hassle getting food wrapped up to bring home as portions are very large. 2 Starters 3 mains 2 cocktails for less than €100 on a Saturday night is very good value and we will definitely be going back soon!

    The biggest issue with this restaurant for me is the lack of ventilation. I dined here on Saturday 14th Jan and Thursday 19th Jan and both times the lack of ventilation really let's this place down. You will smell of burned Chinese oil for the night so if you decide to come here, make sure you're going home afterwards. I get it, it's the type of food but there are plenty of places that cook this type of food in an open kitchen where the ventilation is much better.
