Ambiance: Casual, but nicer atmosphere and environmentValue: 3.5/5Ordered oysters, seaweed salad, toro sashimi flight, sake bomb, and happy hour calamari and spicy salmon hand roll.The happy hour pricing is a good value but overall, I left feeling hungry despite ordering a decent amount with my group. The otoro may not have been the best catch, but was a bit tougher and didn’t melt in your mouth. Fish quality did taste good, but not next level. However for the tier of sushi restaurant, the quality is on par for what is expected. Service was good as the waitress was attentive.The sushi pieces are a bit smaller imo, but price point is on par to other sushi restaurants of equal caliber.Would come back though to try more!

This is our favorite sushi place in the city. It’s nouveau style sushi: creative specials amd unusual pairings are what make this place stand out. Of course, the fish is top quality too. The only downside is that this place is so good I have begrudgingly concluded I can’t go get sushi in other cities, because I’m very likely to be disappointed. And Nara is some of the best we’ve had anywhere.

Our server, Jenny, took care of us with exceptional service. It was our first time at the restaurant and she was quick to give recommendations. We followed her recs and every dish was super delicious. My mom especially loved the 14-piece sashimi omakase, which was a great selection of fish at an affordable price. If you’re looking for an affordable sushi experience, definitely come here!

I came here a few weeks ago and really enjoyed everything. We started out with the hamachi truffle which was my favorite. It's hamachi on a spoon topped off with delicious sauce. We also ordered the tako balls which were a lot larger than I anticipated. We got the blazing glory, sake bomb, o toro, and the fourteen piece sashimi omakase. The blazing glory was really cool since it comes with flames. I especially enjoyed the sake bomb, o toro, and sashimi omakase. Overall I would recommend this Nara since they have a variety of rolls and appetizers to choose from. They also gave us green tea mochi.

The servers were nice and polite, the food was good. The atmosphere was personally not my vibe. I couldn't hear my friends talking over the club music blasting. I don't like to drink a lot so I can see who this place is trying to attract.

So good! I am not a big sushi fan but theChef's Selection was on point! The vibes were great and the service was super prompt and very very kind.

Came here for dinner and everything was great! The service is impeccable; staff, especially Jenny, is knowledgeable and also super attentive. Since it was my first time, she gave great recommendations like the uni nigiri and hamachi truffle. All the nigiri pieces in the 8 piece omakase were fresh and tasty.
