Naro is one of three new restaurants stuck in a poorly-designed corner of the Rockefeller Center concourse.Fortunately, the food at Naro — like this tuna “bibimbap” — more than makes up for the setting.Rock Center’s previous, unfashionable restaurants drew a mix of office workers, shoppers and tourists. The new culinary cluster at the skating rink end of the concourse seems designed to chase everybody away with the look and feel of an airport dining annex that ran out of dough.

Naro’s bare, concourse-side tables currently seem fit for little more than card playing — they say they’re working on a new look. The whole scene urgently needs Tribeca crowdpleaser Smith & Mills to pump more energy onto the floor, but that won’t open at 30 Rock until June.
