Really delightful staff, delicious sushi, and reasonable prices. My only complaint is that the bar lighting should be 20% darker.

This is a different sort of sushi spot in the very best way, starting with a warm greeting from the staff when you walk into the joint. A lovely array of options and also flights of sashimi are available. Definitely have not been disappointed in the two times I have visited.

Amazing food, delicious sushi, and incredible atmosphere. This was a perfect sushi experience for our night out. Our server Jenny was helpful and a great hostess. I wish I lived in San Francisco so that I could visit more often.

I’ve been to Nara twice in the last two weeks. Once was after midnight last Friday. It was superb. The happy hour menu offered a variety of tasty bites that me and my friend ordered one after another. The Hokkaido uni was a little bitter, however the nigiri offering was lovely for the both of us— I had to have another of a few of them. The service was so emphatically hospitable and genuinely lovely. I was excited to return a few days later. This time I caught happy hour on the early side, 6pm or so on a Sunday. The experience was vastly… different. The early evening staff (one young lady in particular) was curt and maybe overwhelmed by the influx of guests. I couldn’t remove the experience I had prior that would have me see this as a negative visit! I’ll try again soon, but late night. I suggest the same to anyone curious to try this place out.
I had the hamachi truffle, the fried squid and many other bites. Quite lovely!

Happy Hour 5-7 pm, daily. Oysters 1/2 off plus their spicy tuna, salmon hand rolls and tacos are to die for. ❤️

Amazing service. The veggie role was the highlight of our evening :). The mushroom tempura was very good as well.

Awesome experience, I’ll definitely be back. The food was amazing. The calamari was fresh and crisp and not soggy. Good amount of seasoning. We also got the nigiri belly sampler (daily special). The hamachi was delicious. The 3 rolls we got were really good as well. Nice variety of flavors in the sake flight too. The service was amazing too, our server was very friendly and attentive. I’ll definitely be back.

Not a strong recommendation. Given the price, expected higher quality of sushi. Service was great. Just needs a refreshed vibe I think.
Limited wine selection (just Sake - realise it’s a Japanese restaurant).
