I love this place. The soup dumplings are amazing. It is one of my go-to places in the neighborhood, and I have tried multiple Asian style restaurants in forest hills. Try the fried rice with roasted pork, and the crabmeat soup dumplings. You won't be disappointed.

I love the meatballs from the meatball shop. My wife and I pick them up, or eat in from there regularly. This is not a review for them, but for the new "courier" service they offer from "Caviar." Not only does this service add gratuity automatically, but they also charge more for the food ($5 sides are suddenly $6.50, plus tip). While I might be willing to pay for this convenience once in a while, the website does not offer the entire menu, and (I am aware this might not be the courier's fault) messed up our order; the hassle is not worth the price.

Do NOT have a party here!

I just had my 30th birthday party at La Nacional and was very disappointed to say the least. I had talked to the manager beforehand to reserve the space and she told me that with a large group (there were 20 of us), we would get to choose whatever tapas and paellas we wanted for a set price. I was a little skeptical so I specifically asked the manager how many tapas and orders of paella we could get and she said that no one would leave hungry and that we could order as many as we needed. However when we showed up it was a different story. After waiting and waiting for menus, I talked to the waitress about ordering; she told me that the tapas were already ready. She then showed me a piece of paper where the manager had written out the items we were going to get for dinner. We had no choice in the matter!

There were two price packages one for just sangria and a more expensive option for "unlimited" sangria, wine and beer. We choose the more expensive option and then were told that we were only allowed two bottles of wine and 10 beers as part of the package. How is that enough for 20 people???

Basically, the manager is a dishonest person and ruined my opinion of the restaurant. I will never go here again. Unless you want to get ripped off, I wouldn't suggest you go here either.
