This place just HITS! EVERY SINGLE TIME!! The wait staff is phenomenal. The food is on point! My girls and I go almost every Friday night. Highly recommend! We normally get a teriyaki steak plate, a teriyaki chicken plate and a vegetable plate, all of which are GREAT!! Cannot recommend enough!

The food was ok, but I've had better takeout Japanese. Service for drive thru was pretty good.

Mushy half cooked food that did not match my take out order.

Was told restaurant was closed at 8 even though the door was unlocked and they had numerous guests inside as well as cars at the drive thru. Then they proceeded to lock the door behind us with guests inside . The food is great. Service in this instance was garbage.

Nasty! You have been warned!

The staff was really nice and it was very fast. I used to love Nara’s. I used to crave it all the time! But as of lately it hasn’t been good, very bland and not worth the price.

Went through the drive-thru, ordered the hobachi chicken with soba noodles instead of rice, and egg rolls. The soba noodles were not what I was expecting, but that could just be me. The hibachi chicken was dry and the chunks were huge but not terrible. Cooked well. The carrots were unexpectedly delicious, broccoli also cooked perfectly. The egg rolls were delicious, even cold! Service was amazing, friendly staff and very short wait. Only suggestions would be more sauce on the chicken and housemade hot mustard, the packets just don't do it. Will definitely be back to dine in!
