Nai-Lon Restaurant in Hod HaSharon Receives Mixed Reviews

Food critic Niv Gilboa visited Nai-Lon, a new restaurant in Hod HaSharon owned by the Kisu group, to assess its culinary offerings. The Kisu group is known for its rapid expansion and numerous establishments. Gilboa's review focused on whether Nai-Lon presented innovative dishes or simply replicated the group's established formula.

The initial courses yielded mixed results. A crispy 'squires' dish was criticized for an overpowering sesame oil flavor, while mushroom and chestnut gyoza disappointed due to the absence of the promised truffle taste.

However, the main courses and sushi showed a significant improvement. The sushi rolls were praised for their precise rice preparation and excellent execution. The sea bass in sake butter was deemed very tasty, though the dish was served with an excess of sauce, bordering on a soup consistency.

Dessert, presented as 'The Yellow Brick Road,' featured pleasant and creative creams but was marred by a dry crumble. Overall, Nai-Lon received a score of 6.5 out of 10. Gilboa concluded that while the restaurant is pleasant, it needs to move beyond simply duplicating its existing concepts.
