LOVE the steamed dumplings and the sushi. DISAPPOINTED with their teriyaki chicken. I’m currently 8 months pregnant and wanted teriyaki chicken BAD and this is what I received. Barely any sauce and the chicken has a weird texture. Next time I’ll just have my husband drive to the mall for that.

The dining experience at Nara Cafe was exceptional, characterized by the freshness and crispness of the vegetables, the perfectly balanced and savory flavors, and excellently prepared rice dishes not to mentiongreat portions. Opting for the 2 protein meal options featuring chicken & shrimp and beef & shrimp, complemented by sides of egg rolls and crab Rangoon, proved to be a delightful choice. Each dish exuded deliciousness, prompting my desire to return and sample more offerings from their menu. The next time I visit, I plan to try their ramen dishes and sushi combinations. I highly recommend this place. I've driven by it ever since I moved to Ephrata two years ago—I wish I had ordered from Nara Cafe much sooner.

I’d rate it a 2.5 if I could. The ramen was fine, I could’ve made better at home. It was just kind of bland and the bacon was the thin pre-cooked stuff from the store. The crab rangoons were all cream cheese. The pork bun tasted like it was microwaved. Too many onions, bland pork, and a very floppy bun. The garlic shrimp & broccoli is good though. It’s clear that it depends on what you order.
Service was pretty slow today, seemed like only one person in the kitchen AND doing the sushi rolls himself. I don’t fault them for being slow though. The host/cashier seemed nice and felt bad for our wait. All tables do not have cushions, so it’s very uncomfortable if you have back issues or just have to wait 30+ min for our food. So just be careful there.

I just started coming here recently and it’s my favorite place now! They are so generous with the portions including the fish/veggies you get in your sushi. Every time the food is good, the staff is friendly, and it’s easy to pick up when ordering online ?

The food is delicious and you can try different rolls instead of trying to just pick one, the staff were very nice and the place seemed perfect for just chilling as well. Sushi menu was small but absolutely delicious. I literally almost finished before remembering to take a picture
Literally this is the best sushi around also their fried rice is AMAZING! They have fried rolls as well which is amazing. The fish is fresh and the portions are generous!

Super good food and awesome deals/combos. The peanut avocado rolls are the best in the area. Also love that they have delivery - not too common to be able to get sushi delivered anymore other than through DoorDash (which has outrageous fees). But this place has fast delivery and excellent sushi and dumplings. 10/10 recommend.

If you're a fan of Asian cuisine (Japanese, Chinese, or Hawaiian Poke) this is definitely the place to go to or order takeout from! First and most importantly, the food is great. Beyond that, the customer service in this establishment is truly outstanding.Our group of 13 visited on a snowy night in Ephrata. Every other restaurant in the area closed early due to the weather but this family run business stayed open specifically for our group. With such a large group we wound up ordering something from every category on the menu. I tasted many of the items we ordered and every dish was fantastic; everyone in the group thoroughly enjoyed their meal. Thank you to the family for being so accommodating -- we will all be coming back soon!
