The exotic-sounding name of this new eatery is simply "Asian" spelled backward. The menu of NAISA, located in Fountain Square, is entirely made from scratch, from the sauces to the freshly grated zest of the tangerine chicken ($7.25/lunch) to the spicy basil curry dish ($8.95/dinner) studded with chicken, beef and shrimp. The restaurant also offers delicious cinnamon sugar puffs ($4.95), a light-bodied, fresh ginger sauce with bite instead of an overly sugared sweet and sour mess. For a beverage, try the tea: an iron pot is served with chrysanthemum or jasmine leaves steeped throughout, yielding a much lighter-flavored goodness.
