Nara Sushi Japanese Restaurant

It has been a while aince I visited Nara Sushi for some tempura udon. To start, this order camenwith a salad to start then the udon noodle on clear broth and shrimp tempura on the side. Pleanty of veggiea compared to the last place I visited for tempura udon. Broth was served extremely hot, so be cautios when trying to gulp the broth. Very very tasty. The tempura are far bigger, crisp, and not so oily. Loved it!!!!Also ordered a couple of tobiko sushi. Nice!!! Small portion of rice that had a flavor of a bit of dashi then packed with tobiko, wrapped in a crisp nori. The couple increased to 5 more pieces. That's how good these tobiko sushi were.Service is beyond exemplary. Only two but both were on top of their game. Always tending to their customers and assist you when donning on your coat / jacket. Best of all, if you speak Japanese, then you can easily start a conversation with the waitress.The lighting sers the mood for a good ambiance - sets you in the mood to eat.Overall, Nara Sushi reminds me of a place in Gion. Small with cery attentive servers, and beat of all, serves good food. Compliments to the sushi chef - Gochiso sama!!!!

Best sushi we've had. Wow. The taste is amazingly delicious. You'll need reservations at peak times. Well worth the wait. Super friendly staff. You will never be disappointed here. Love this place!

Haven't written a review in a while, but after Nara, I knew I had to give them their stars. I recall seeing a post on Facebook asking people about their favorite sushi place in the area and Nara seemed to have shown up multiple times. So I finally took the time to check it out. It's located in the same shopping center as colattao so the parking lot seems a little hidden if it's your first time visiting. If you don't want to make a u-turn on independence, I recommend taking that back way behind McDonald's that eventually leads to the underpass lolSo! I started off with a few pieces of salmon nigiri and they melted in my mouth! I looooooove salmon nigiri and these were perfect. The rice was good, there was a small dallop of wasabi between the salmon and the rice, and when you dipped in soy sauce? Immaculate. I honestly would've been good to visit for just the salmon, but I had more on the way lolI also had a Mt. Trashmore roll which was Marinated Tuna, Salmon, Flounder with Spicy Cream Sauce, Baked over california Roll and the piece de resistance was the Dynamite from the sushi bar appetizers. It's Baked scallops with shitake mushrooms in japanese mayo! I personally loved it. If you're not a big fan of Japanese mayo or mayo at all, don't order it lol. Both were delicious and I finished it all, but I was so stuck on my salmon that I ordered moreMy server was sweet as were the sushi chefs. I can't wait to come back and introduce this place to family and friends. Thanks for a great first experience!

What a wonderful restaurant! The server speaks eloquent Japanese and the menu items were absolutely delicious. The eggplants, the soup, the katsu, omg everything was delectable. I had the pleasure to dine with the Legendary Local Yelper J David, too! It's been quite some time since I visited last year and I can vividly recall all the wonderful details. If you have a guest from out of town, Nara would be one of my first pick.

Having lived in Japan and falling in love with sushi, this place really surprised me. I want to say this place was one of the most authentic, freshest sushi places I've had the pleasure of eating in within the US (I travel all over the US for work). I highly recommend this place! The pan fire gyoza was amazing too! Ohh and by sushi, I don't mean CA roll, I mean bareback fish type of sushi!

If you ever go to Virginia Beach, this sushi restaurant is a place to go too! I've been craving for sushi and my niece told me there isn't a good sushi restaurant around here. I Yelp this place to give it a try. When you walk in the door it's a small place. Right off the bat you know it's a family oriented. You see customer sweater and jacket hanging on the coat hanger. Presentation: Sushi looks delicious on the plate and you know for a fact it's fresh. It doesn't have the fish smell. As you can see in the picture it's plated nicely. Order: Uni, Salmon roe, surf clam, Nara nacho, sashimi platter A, white fish, scallop and squid. When the sushi came out I like the presentation. Uni was mouth watering. It was creamy and doesn't have that nasty and weird taste in your mouth. Salmon roe doesn't have that salty taste. Nara nacho is really good as well. All the sushi is delicious I must say! Everyone was super nice and they always check up on you. I will come back when I'm in the state again.

Best sushi in VB! I have tried most of the highly rated sushi places in town and they were not good. Don't waste your money, eat here! Service was kind and attentive. My only suggestion would be a smaller menu. There are too many options for sushi to decide on.

Hands down I've found my favorite sushi restaurant. They are the real deal when it comes to sushi and quality. The customer service we got here made us feel like we were in Japan. I came for dinner. The chef and the servers here are genuine and they strive to keep the food here as authentic as possible. What makes them authentic is knowing they serve omakase style. We came here for a late night meal and they so happened to be one of the very few restaurants open.They welcomed us and made sure to give us the best service. i enjoyed the eggplant appetizer and the the sushi and uni! The fish here is fresh and the sushi was prepared nicely. I love the dining experience here! It's elegant dining atmosphere is good for a date, and small and intimate for those who come with a few people. It's just not a place for a big group.

Best sushi in VB Always friendly Fresh sushi rolls Recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing night out

Tried once so far and it was good. Have to check again for consistency before recommending.
