Time and time again this hands down the BEST sushi in the neighborhood, probably even the city. The staff is warm and gracious, and it's just a good vibe. Love it there. read more

Saw they had a happy hour after 5:30 so decided to stop in and check it out. The place a small but it works, there was enough tables/chairs for the people that came during my time here! The decor is lovely and service is very nice. The waitress gave some suggestions on things she liked as well. Decided to go with the spicy tuna roll and the seaweed salad. The station is also in the middle of the floor so to can see them making your order then and there we re to know it was just prepped. Roll and seaweed salad were good. Will try location again to try the other options. read more

Got lunch delivery which came very quickly via dash. Lunch special is $16 and comes with a miso soup or salad options. Got the chicken Teriyaki lunchbox that came with 6 piece California roll and 2 shu mai and rice. It was still warm and enough to eat for one meal & small leftovers. Flavors were there. Recommend for easy and quick takeout. read more

Doesn't want to take my office order, I never seen a restaurant that doesn't want to take 20 minute order. very rude on the phone.

First time I've eaten in the restaurant after ordering delivery for years. Larger portions than delivery and we found out we could customize the chirashi, which is cool. Lovely miso. Staff were fab! read more

Decided to give this sushi place a try because it was close and ordered a boston roll and spicy tuna roll. The boston roll might as well be renamed to cucumber and lettuce roll I had to double check my receipt to confirm my eyes . It was 5 thinly sliced rolls filled to the brim with cucumber strips and lettuce. There was only 3/5 pieces that had a tiny piece of shrimp in it. It was also poorly cut and rolled, almost half of it broke because of how thin they were. read more

Solid spot for sushi rolls! We got 2 orders of the Any 3 Rolls and got to try the Spicy Salmon, Spicy Tuna, Yellowtail, Spicy Yellowtail, Salmon Avocado, and Eel Cucumber. Our favorites were the Yellowtail and Salmon Avocado. Very fresh fish and fast service! The only reason why I knocked off a star was I felt they could've done without the mixed in tempura crunch flakes in the Spicy rolls. But besides that, really good and I'd come back and try more (esp the specialty rolls!!) read more

Nara Sushi - Any 3 Rolls: Spicy Salmon, Spicy Tuna, Yellowtail, Spicy Yellowtail, Salmon Avocado, and Eel Cucumber - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

First meal in New York and it was absolutely disappointing . The server who was an older lady with black hair had horrible attitude. When pouring us water she did it rudely and spilled it all over the table, when we asked a question about the menu she gave us attitude she also said there was an extra fee (wasn't included in the menu) if you wanted siracha. $ 1.50 for each one, $1.50 for brown rice. When we finished paying she demanded a tip however we were leaving cash so there was no need to made a fuss. Safe to say we won't be coming back. read more

Great spot with their lunch specials. Food was fresh. Very fast service. My 16 year old kid liked his chicken teriyaki that he ordered it again on the second visit. Sushi was on the smaller side read more

Good spot for lunch. Food came out quick. Check was quick too. Will come back. Wish they did both soup and salad instead of either/or read more

I ordered takeout from Nara Sushi tonight for dinner and it was absolutely delicious! Definitely some of the best takeout sushi I've had in the city! The miso soup was great, and the three roll combo was so filling and great bang for your buck! I got a spicy tuna roll, a spicy crab roll, and a yellowtail jalapeño roll which were all so fresh! I love how little rice there was! I also got a seaweed salad but couldn't finish it as I was so full. This might be my new go-to for takeout sushi! read more

Nara Sushi - Spicy Tuna Roll Yellowtail Jalapeno Roll spicy Spicy Snow Crab Maki Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

A sushi spot in the FiDi area, who knew? I dined in after playing some squash over by the Open Squash facility. Ordered the Volcano Roll ($16), which is a deep fried roll with Dani, avocado, cream cheese, and white fish. Absolutely delicious. Wasn't full from just one roll so I also got the Tiger Roll ($17), which is spicy salmon and avocado topped with salmon and yellowtail. A bit less fancy, but still delicious and they both hit the spot. I was able to place my order pretty swiftly and the food comes out quick. Friendly service and very attentive. read more

Not bad at all, but this is very much a hole-in-the-wall neighborhood sushi spot that features a ton of signature rolls. Nothing fancy but I liked I could just walk in wearing leggings and basically a sweater that resembled a hotel robe. I went with the eel avocado roll and the Osaka roll with jalapeño, tuna, salmon, and yellowtail. The latter was a challenge in terms of eating it gracefully - do I unhinge my jaw and stuff the whole thing into my gob in one bite, or do I bite it in half and risk spilling everything? This may be classic overthinking. Anyway, everything tasted fresh and delicious, though a bit heavy-handed on the sauce. Service was friendly and came by often to check how we were doing/refill waters. I usually steer clear of raw fish on work trips but I'm happy to report that Nara didn't do me dirty the next day. read more

Just picked up my order. I ordered a tuna roll where Clearly it does not look fresh - I called the restaurant to where I was placed on hold 2x to hold while they were taking other orders & was not given the time of day, & was told it's fresh and it's ok. I was not given any options to pick up a new roll or refund for the one roll or even a single apology. I will no longer ever order from Nara after the horrible customer service and lack of respect for a customer. Would definitely not recommend this place & say to check out other sushi restaurants in the neighborhood. read more

Good sushi rolls. I always get salmon avocado, spicy tuna and yellowtail. Lunch specials are a good value.

Quality fish. My favorite sushi spot in the area.. also just one of my favorite places to eat in this area period. Their non sushi choices are also tasty . Good lunch specials. I have also ordered the sushi for 2 and it was soooooo filling but worth! $68 I think? I also always take note of the taste of sushi restaurants miso soup and salad - I like theirs. The ambiance is so cute. The walls are decorated with many illustrations reminiscent of my childhood, like the characters from the Studio Ghilbi. They are always busy when I come but I have always has prompt service dining here. I haven't had to wait for a seat when I've gone with my partner. I recommend coming with no more than 4 people, it's a small seating area. Remember to use your check in reward - free edamame! read more

(Overall: 93% | A) - I ordered the Sashimi Deluxe at Nara and was quite impressed by the quality of fish. At $27, the price was very good for fresh, high quality fish with the akami and hamachi being extra delicious highlights. The space itself was a bit tight, but the service was reasonable -- pretty great overall! IG: @amei.eats read more

I was looking to for somewhere with good vibes and affordable sushi that could sit seven people, and this place came through. Service was great! Sushi was tasty! Wasabi didn't pull any punches and the miso soup was so savory and delicious! I will definitely return, 10/5 experience read more

Discovered this on uber eats because there was a promo going on and I saw that it had great reviews on yelp. Nara did not disappoint! The portions were great and the fish is incredibly fresh. It is decently price and with the quality that makes it a great deal! I was impressed that they did not skimp on the size of the cuts of fish in the sashimi or any of the rolls. Their spicy snow crab roll was also incredible. I expected it to be something from the frozen section in the supermarket but it was not the case. Love this place and I cant wait to eat here again! read more

Hello my friends - I'm here to tell you all about my favorite sushi spot in NYC. I'm keenly aware of how many other choices we have in the city and how many michelin caliber locations are scattered throughout Manhattan. I don't care. I will frequent Nara Sushi for as long as they choose to grace the Financial District. Today was my 12th visit and it was as good as every time before it! Tucked away near the tip of the island, this humble sushi gem houses some of the highest quality fish that I've had in the area. The fish to rice ratio in each piece of maki is AT LEAST 2:1 (see photos) and the Special Rolls are total bangers! They'll even make custom rolls by request. Today's order featured my favorites (I was hungry and ordered half the entire menu) and I will explain to you in great detail how delectable these little morsels of seafood paradise tasted! Maki - 2x Alaska Rolls (salmon/avocado/cucumber) are my go-to. Crisp cucumber and delicious fattiness from the salmon. I also went with yellowtail/jalapeño and yellowtail/scallion. Leaner rolls with lots of crisp freshness from the greens. I finished with a custom eel/mango roll for some sweetness Nigiri - The quality of the ingredients shine here. I got 2x Uni Nigiri which was delivered that day!! As good as any 3 star michelin - I swear to god. Also had the Sweet Shrimp Nigiri and the squid, octopus, tuna, salmon and scallop. Each one was so so tasty. The scallop was particularly good. No fishiness in anything whatsoever. The rice tasted a little sweeter today Special Rolls Dragon Roll - All Time Favorite combination of avocado and eel smothered in eel sauce. Just a sweet, rich and decadent roll with generous portions and tasty eel Ninja Roll - Shrimp tempura wrapped in Eel and avocado. Basically the Dragon Roll stepped up a notch. Its a hearty roll for sure but adds extra texture and fattiness. Can't get enough of this one Shohoku Roll - Spicy Tuna with textured crunch plus avocado and fresh tuna on top. I prefer this combo vs just plain tuna or spicy tuna on its own in the maki. The restaurant is small, maybe 8 tables but it has a very homey/cozy atmosphere and the walls are decorated with all these great japanese cultural images/cartoons/manga that gave me flashbacks to my own childhood. Even the bathroom has a ton of nice artwork. Keep doing your thing Nara! You guys are crushing it ^^ - Loyal Customer read more

Me and my friends just come back from college for thanksgiving and wanted to go to the city and get some food. We decided that we were all craving sushi so we found this place called Nara Sushi. When I tell you this was the best decision we could have made. Walking in, it was small, but the decor was so cute and the lighting was great not too harsh on the eyes. The menu had so many options and would love to go back for the lunch deal because it seemed like a great offer! Service was quick and they were really kind always looking to refill our waters and asking how the food was. The FOOD, let me tell you about the food! It was probably the best sushi I ever ate. I ended choosing the Volcano role which was absolutely delicious and would go back just for that. My friends got other rolls that I tried and those were also really good but the Volcano Roll really was the best of the night. The pricing for my roll was $16.00 which was a bit pricy but so worth it! I really recommend going truly was great food and experience! read more

Wow! what an awesome surprise this place turned out to be. It's a small, casual, happy place. We got off the Governors island ferry and searched for a nearby sushi spot. They were closing soon, and let us know. We didn't mind. We eat quick. lol. Got 4 rolls. The Bumblebee roll, tuna roll and two other rolls that were all yummy. i cannot remember the names of the other rolls, but they were so good! Everyone that works there is great! Super friendly and efficient. They heard it was my birthday, and they brought me out a dessert and sang to me without being asked to. It was so sweet. I will definitely be coming back here. read more

Good quality takeout sushi given the very reasonable price! Definitely a hidden gem. I ordered the any 3 classic roll option, which was just under $18 for dinner. There was a large selection of classic rolls to choose from. I ended up doing the yellowtail scallion, salmon avocado, and eel avocado. They were all good, but my favorite was the yellowtail scallion! While I enjoyed the eel avocado, some of the pieces were a bit skimpy on the eel. The restaurant had limited seating options, but there's not much of an ambiance and it looked a little cramped to me. I'd recommend ordering takeout! If you do end up dining in, don't forget to redeem the yelp check-in for free edamame. read more
