We are frequent customers of both locations, they have amazing food!! Looks amazing on the inside of the restaurant as well. I also like to try different specialty drinks and they have all been delicious, we recommend nara to everyone we know !!
I went to Nara on Valentine's Day and boy was it a treat! I've gone to the Nara on State street but the location on Franklin was far superior! I arrived around 6:15pm and for a party of two there was literally no wait as we sat at the bar. The service was great and the food was mouth watering. We ordered the pork bao buns that were fluffy and delicious, easily a 10/10. We each also ordered the spicy ramen from the servers recommendation and it didn't disappoint. The broth was decadent and complex and the noodles were perfectly cooked. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone, especially with the fun and buzzing atmosphere.

Quite good!Easy parking, convenient location & open until 9 all nights except Sunday until 8. Nice atmosphere & eclectic customer demographics.I went with my new friend, Toto, who suggested the restaurant as it was my 1st time having non-instant ramen. We were seated between a middle-aged married couple, enjoying a boat of sushi and an elderly Asian couple sipping on mild broth ramen. There were some young, trendy people as well as a large Asian family at a high-top table. We also noticed several college students enjoying their meals. The lighting was a bit bright for dinner time, but the sound level was perfect to hold a conversation and not have to strain. I personally love that Jacob, our smiling & helpful server, brought out chopsticks and forks in the beginning. He was quite knowledgeable on the menu and was able to help us completely in our choices.The menu is not huge but certainly has enough items to keep everybody happy. Do not be concerned when you read that a certain dish is 'spicy', because it will not be spicy at all. I like to have a lot of flavor, but not heat.I ordered the Spicy Beef Ramen, and it seriously and literally had NO heat. I asked our server Jason, and he said, that if you want it really to have some heat, you need to get a side of chili sauce or Habanero sauce that they will gladly bring out to you. The rich broth was accompanied by a good amount of cilantro and scallions, giving a great balance of fresh and hearty flavor to the dish. They did not skimp on the beef either. It was generous and tender. I just wish that the ramen was served in a warmer broth, for it was not cold, but really should have been steaming. The noodles were a bit thin, letting us know that they were not made in-house, yet they still held their shape (not over-cooked) and were flavorful. I also was able to enjoy bubble tea for my first time. Ordering the Nara Milk Tea, which is a combination of black tea, caramel, and boba beads, giving a delightfully chewy sensation, but surprisingly, not too sweet.I want you to know that it is possible to get a to-go container, if you could not finish all of your ramen and broth. However, if you order it to-go hot from the kitchen, the lid will become vacuum sealed and very difficult to remove (see photo).Yes, there are restrooms available in the back, but they are slightly difficult to find as they are hidden behind a black curtain, beyond the service area.Prices are extremely reasonable, and payment is directly handled at the table, but Jacob did not hover over us as we paid our bills. You are able to get a printed receipt directly at the table, as well.As we were leaving, Jacob made sure to thank us and say good night. :) I personally will return to try more items on the menu and experience the relaxed & knowledgeable service again.Vegetarian options: They have tofu.

Thank goodness we found it! This area is so lacking in great places like this! The Treasure Valley is starving for good ramen and sushi and this place hits the spot. Came here last week with our daughter to try it out. Walking in very open, modern place and very clean. Wait staff is super friendly and menu options for both ramen, sushi and other items is fantastic. For dinner I had the spicy Tantanmen and a sushi roll both were fantastic. My wife and daughter split the pork bun appetizer and each had their own sushi roll. They thoroughly enjoyed theirs as well. We will be looking forward to getting back here and giving some of the other options a try. I would highly recommend this new spot and a great option.
I had spicy pork ramen and potstickers. Delicious and quick delivery. Will definitely order from here again.
Very good ramen and sushi! Large portions, we had a whole other meal left for tomorrow ?
