Delicious Thai food. Interesting cocktail list. Decent number of gluten-free options in the main courses, not many gluten-free appetizers. My favorite dish is the Pad Thai, with choice of protein and heat level. read more

From food to service all excellent!! Great place for dining whether a small or large group!

Wow. We ordered almost every appetizer and most were absolutely great. The duck buns were a great concept but needed some hoisin sauce or crispy duck skin and some spring onions to lighten it up. The curry sampler was great. Soup...Tom kha...nice! Paired with a dry Riesling almost everything worked. We walked out happy. I think you would too. read more

It seemed like it may be a busy night so I grabbed some reservations through Yelp which made the process VERY easy. I always stick with the Curry or Pad Thai, but felt like broadening my horizons. The waitress recommended the drunken noodles. They were delish!! We also got the Philly Cheesesteak Egg rolls which packed a TON of flavor. The Teriyaki Beef was also yummy and just the right amount of food. I didn't even know the basement seating area existed. It was moody and romantic, such a great vibe! read more

Not the most authentic Thai restaurant but it was really good still. Chicken satay for the appetizer is a must. Chilean sea bass dish was my favorite. Pad Thai was so so and it was too pricey. Drinks were really good. read more

It's our favorite restaraunt on the landing. The food is great and the drinks are amazing!

Loved the experience and the duck rolls were great! Wonderful service and we will be back!

I ordered a lot of food, but some of it was not tasty. The meat tasted like it had been in the fridge for a very long time.

A favorite spot with visiting Fort Wayne. We like the green papaya chicken salad, the curry flight, and the drunken noodles. A great place to get Thai food. It was busy on a Tuesday night - so be sure to make reservations if you want to be sure to get a table. read more

Service was mediocre at best. Our dinner started with two women at the front asking who the reservation was under to which they just stared at us for an awkward amount of time and then laughed like there was a professional comedian in their heads. Then we were seated at a table and the waitress was great until she had to be pulled away for most of the night because she had two tables where there were multiple overly intoxicated individuals. The women at the front just kept walking around, pointing at tables and laughing and making all of the tables feel uncomfortable. Food was great though! read more

So I love a Thai joint. This joint is on the up. Classy fusion, yet not over the top. Proper preparation of the food. I would definitely come here again. read more

Nawa - Tom Kha. Beautiful, flavorful perfect for a hot day. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

The ambiance is calming and comfortable, service was excellent and the food was great! There were 6 in our party and it was all delicious and the servers knew the menu. I am handicap so it is a bit of a challenge to walk far enough, but we figured it out. Would love to come more often, but maybe delivery is my best option. read more

Not the best experience. I'm a vegan and ordered the drunken lo mein noodles with tofu and still found meat in my dish

Great food, and service was great! Went for a birthday celebration and they provided a free mini cheesecake! The vibe was classy and matched the Fort Wayne location nicely. Would definitely eat there again! read more

Nawa - Hawaiian Fried Rice - Asian Fusion Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

Food, atmosphere, location, and service is all wonderful! No disappointments! Don't think there's a bad item on the menu!

After three years of one great meal after another, today I had the pepper garlic - Macau style that was awful. Vegetables overcooked, pork had huge pieces of fat, and the entire dish was slightly cooler than lukewarm. Service was indifferent as the server never checked back after meal was served. I'll have to think a while before coming back. read more

Our waiter was especially helpful on our first time at Nawa. He recommended a full flavored soup with chicken. amazing flavor! Each item we ordered was delicious. Interesting ambience. Don't go here if you want to be alone or in a quiet corner. It was very full on a weekend and reservations would be recommended. The hostess was very efficient and got everyone seated in good time. read more

Love this place. Solid Asian fusion, with a great and varied menu. Good selection of beers, including Lucky Buddah. Incredible mixed drinks in tiki glasses and a solid wine list. The best part is the service. Everyone there is friendly, competent and professional. read more

Nawa - Yum! This Khao soi was absolute perfection! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

We're still in Covid-19 season and NAWA is doing an excellent job with the spacing and precautions. It was Mom's birthday and we wanted something local. The Gyoza and callamri were excellent to start. The main courses were tasty as much as they were beautiful. The mild heat was perfect for the girls and the medium was perfect for the adults. The service was attentitive as 50% capacity is the rule of the day. I can't wait to come back and give their new outdoor seating a try. read more

Very tasty all around. Personally I chose the Pad Thai Me Up with chicken (medium spicy) and it was one of the best pad thai dishes I've had. Just the right amount of sauce so it isn't dry and stringy like so many other places. Medium level of spice was just right. Nothing that makes your nose run but certainly more kick than mild. If you like spicy I'd probably level up. Spring rolls were perfectly cooked and full of yummy goodness. Shrimp and veggie tempura also well done and not mushy. Quiet atmosphere and great service. Would absolutely go back. read more

Overall a solid 4 stars! Easily could move in to the 5 star category. In town visiting my family and they suggested we come here. I'm always in for Thai food. This place is cool. Nice decor, attentive staff and great food. Yanni our server from Indonesia is great. All the employees seemed to be very customer-centric and aware. Covid care is in full force. The food we had was good. Too spicy for some at the table but they did order the "Uh-oh" level. I'm a mild kind of guy so mine was fantastic. Would I return? Yes. Should you try it? Yes. read more

My son and I had a chance to have a Friday night dinner at Nawa. It was recommended highly by his friends and their recommendation did not disappoint. My son order Tom Kha Chicken as an appetizer. It's a sweet & sour soup made with coconut milk, galangal, mushroom, cilantro. It is a gluten-free option and it was excellent. I ordered Shumai Chicken & Shrimp Dumpling (6) as an app - chicken & shrimp, wonton wrap, onion, dried shiitake mushroom, water chestnut, egg, soy or Panang sauce. Perfect. My son ordered Seafood Curry Pasta (gf) - shrimp, calamari, scallop, mussels, peppers, carrot, broccoli, green curry sauce, angel hair I ordered the Whole Red Snapper - "filleted", lightly battered & deep fried, tri-flavor sauce or spicy basil sauce, veg medley. Both were excellent and I would highly recommend them. Service was great and I'd recommend reservations on a Friday or Saturday night. read more

Had my birthday dinner here with my two small little ones they were so accommodating and nice plus the food was amazing! The ambiance was the perfect vibe I was looking for! Thank you again Grace for being so sweet with helping me with the best sitting area for myself & my guest ! read more

I was here on a Saturday night and the restaurant had a 1-1/2- hour wait for tables so they offered me a seat at the bar if I didn't want to wait. Both bartenders were very friendly and quick in bringing me a glass of water and the menu. There were only 2 bar seats left but my order was taken very quickly. When the server brought me my Siam pho another staff manager (maybe the manager?) came by to ask me if I would like some spicy sauce etc. The food was good and the service was excellent and attentive even when they had so many customers, which is why I gave it a 5-star rating. read more

Nawa - Siam pho with pork - Asian Fusion Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

This is a Fort Wayne gem. Beautiful downtown location. Low light, warm and intimate inside . Perfect for date night or a group of friends/ family. The food here is amazing and so tasty. Their smoked old-fashioned drinks are awesome. Their lychee martinis are amazing as well. Service is fast. They have private parking for their guests which is nice being that parking is limited in the area. Once you get to the private parking call them and they will open the gate for you. Outdoor seating is nice. Just show them this video and say you want all of this . The pineapple rice has curry in it. If you don't like curry just do what I did, tell them you don't want curry sauce, it's to die for. This is my second time here. I also order the chicken wings with the sweet sauce. It's life changing . Some of their tables are small, so if you have a date with a purse there is not enough room for said purse/ everything you ordered. So ask for a bigger table immediately or tell them you'll wait for one to become available like a booth. Thank me later! They get busy so make a reservation ASAP or you will have a seat at the bar IF that's even available. Don't be that person who didn't make a reservation. Enjoy!! read more

Made a reservation here for dinner online so that we would have a nice place to eat after my sister's graduation from the University of St. Francis - Fort Wayne. My reservation date was for the wrong night (blame the time zones and time difference...=) but the staff was able to accommodate us anyway. Thank goodness as we were a very long way from home (Guam). We sat in their outside patio which had a good view of all the street happenings....(it seemed like everyone was on a prom date that night). The food is Asian fusion and there were five of us in our party so we were each able to find something to eat. Everything we ordered was on point as far as taste and presentation. Prices were fairly reasonable although Chef's signature dishes were much more expensive. Excellent customer service as well although all of the places where we ate had great customer service. (Might be a Fort Wayne thing!) Would definitely eat here again and try more things on the menu if we ever make it back to this part of the world again. The parking area was pretty small and needed a code before entering. (I had to call the restaurant to figure out how to enter even though I was right in front of it.) We were not really familiar with the area so maybe there's more parking in the vicinity but check before going. Nawa restaurant seemed like it was on a side street and has a pretty small sign so you may miss it if you aren't careful. I'd definitely recommend this place to others! read more

Nawa - Fried chicken wings with Korean BBQ & Teriyaki sauce; steamed Gyoza panang - Asian Fusion Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

We made reservations for our 15th anniversary dinner about 3 weeks ago. Our dinner was last night, and we arrived about 10 minutes early. When we got to the hostess stand, we were shown a high top table under a tv, even though I had reserved a table outside. I am not tall, but I was close to hitting my head on the tv, so we requested a different table. The hostess showed us a table by the door to outside, which is out of the way, with servers coming and going behind it. Another couple had also just refused this table, which we have also done in the past because it shouldn't even be used. We managed to get an outside table and ordered drinks, which were very good, as was the Curry Flight, which is always great. Unfortunately, our entrees came before we had even finished our appetizer, and I was hoping to order a side of Roti to finish the curry sauce, but it was too late. I ordered Ramen with 3 shrimp tempura and extra noodles ($23, which is absolutely ridiculous), and it was inedible. The soup was so weak that it was like trying to eat noodles with watered down low sodium chicken broth. My wife had the Pad Thai, which should be the best dish on the menu considering it's a Thai - heavy restaurant, was tasteless, and my wife only ate about half of it. Our server didn't ask if we wanted more drinks, and pretty much rushed us out the door. This is the 4th time we have been to Nawa, and the 3rd time we have had issues. We will never go back. read more

Phenomenal food and amazing service! Definitely going back! You definitely want to try out this little place. There's also outdoor dining! read more

I had dinner recently at Nawa for the first time post pandemic to celebrate my son's birthday. I enjoyed the food on a few occasions when they first opened. So, I was confident that I would love the food this time. However, this visit was disappointing. We ordered a variety of dishes with mine being the fried rice with chicken, beef, and shrimp for $25. The chicken was dry and in large chunks. The beef was overcooked and I only received 3 shrimp - that weren't remotely jumbo. I ordered medium heat level which they got right. My drink, the Freaky Tiki was good and presented nicely! The Crab Mandalay were good but the sautéed mushrooms were a bit salty. Overall, this visit was just okay. Probably won't be back anytime soon. read more

Wonderful food. Fresh ingredients, nice heat when requested and nice selection of condiments. I had the pad Thai me up and it was delicious! My wife had the ramen bowl and it was good. Great atmosphere. Great for dates, family or friend gatherings. Love the downstairs nice music isn't too loud and even crowded it wasn't too noisy. Staff was great and knowledgeable of the offerings. read more

We went here for a late dinner and had no problem getting a seat. The waitress came and gave us a small pitcher of water. She told us the specials and gave us some time to look over the menu. We ordered our drinks, appetizer and entrees all at once. For the appetizer, we ordered the lettuce wraps. The appetizer came with several wraps and a dipping sauce. For my entree, I enjoyed the Teriyaki chicken. We looked at the dessert menu however once we ordered the wait staff came back and said that they didn't have any so we opted out. The reason for the 3 stars, the service was super slow and our drinks came out after the appetizer was served. Then my husband ordered a soup and was wanting an entree, but the waitress walked away before he could say anything. Getting refills was a challenge in itself, personally I wish their glasses were bigger so the waitress doesn't have to make so many trips back. I would like to try Nawa again as the food was good, and maybe the service will be better. read more

Nawa is truly one of the gems of downtown Fort Wayne dining. Great service & great food. Portion sizes definitely match prices. If you make a reservation via YELP, they provide you with a parking code for the parking lot located right beside the building (near the giant bison mural) - you'll just have to get out of your car to enter the code. Definitely get the pork belly buns for appetizers. Cocktails are delicious and carefully designed. LOVED the Hawaiian fried rice - it literally came in half of a pineapple. 10/10! read more

We love everything about Nawa. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is fun and inviting and the food is delicious. Our favorites are the crab mandalay, pineapple fried rice and drunken lo mein. The Thai iced coffee is to die for and the Freaky Tiki is good as well! read more

Awesome Thai food. Great atmosphere & great service. We will dine here again for sure.

The food is incredible, the price is reasonable and the ambience is great too. One of our faves in Ft. Wayne.

Excellent food, service and ambiance were outstanding! The menu has many options to choose from and I'm sure you won't be disappointed

Definitely go to Nawa for excellent service by Ive and all the staff! We started with the crab Mandalay (light and crispy) and chicken egg rolls (crispy and yummy too). Each of the 4 of us had something different: Basil beef stir-fry (w/fried rice), Basil beef fried rice, ramen with pork belly, and garlic pepper chicken (w/fried rice). None of us could completely finish our meals. All of us enjoyed what we ordered. We passed on dessert because we didn't want to over-stuff ourselves, but when our son off-handedly mentioned it was our anniversary when he picked up the check, Ive told us to hold on a moment, "don't leave!'. She came back shortly with a delicious vanilla -coconut cheesecake with a chocolate drizzle for us to share. The perfect bit of sweetness to end a delicious meal! I would absolutely recommend Nawa to anyone and hope to go back to try some of their menu items the next time we come to IN! read more
