My pet peeve at sushi bars is not being able to order from and interact with the chef. The whole reason for sitting at the bar is the interactive experience. The salmon and yellowtail were very good. The sea bass was fishy. The tuna was pre sliced instead of cut fresh, which isn't the worse thing but it was also very wet. That's when I saw it sitting in water, soaking it up. When I ordered a scallop and crab hand roll (not on the menu) they just about vapor locked. They had to call it a California roll with added scallop and no avocado. It was almost humorous watching them talk about it in the back. Like it was the craziest thing ever. The service was excellent and they did want to please, but they should do some research and visit a couple places in London, like Sushi Atelier. If I come again I would try the truffle ribeye beef. It looked amazing as it was going to another table.

Bathrooms are clean. Prices are reasonable.

After hoofing around in search of a dinner joint I returned to Sushi Nara, one of the first places…read moreI'd seen. Staines didn't appear to have a great selection of restaurants but with Sushi Nara being as satisfying as it proved to be, they need not. A pleasantly generic decor gave no hint of the diversity of Sushi Nara's menu, not in Japanese cuisine as expected, but in a full-range of Korean fare as well. And because I didn't find the UK brimming with a great array of sushi (salmon and tuna seem to comprise 98% of the offerings), the Korean offerings were a welcome treat. The next question, as I'm suspect of places specializing in multiple cuisines, was: How good would that Korean fare (or Japanese fare) actually be? Good, quite good. The Nara Bento (£16.90) was a nice array of food: filling, fresh tasting, as varied as it needed to be, and well-presented. The Beef Dolsot Bibimbap (£9.50) and Kimchi (£2.20) were equally satisfying. I'd likely look askance were I to find a restaurant back home (San Francisco Bay Area) trading in both Japanese and Korean fare but here in Staines they pulled it off with mastery. If they opened up a second outpost in my neighborhood I'd be there.

The Udon and yakisoba were the best two dishes with the most flavor. My sons had the salmon and burrito and quite enjoyed them. The tofu katsu curry was okay probably wouldn't get that again and the maki selection box items didn't really have any flavor so we would try the sushi rolls next time. Overall good quality food and will go back again to try some different menu items.

The waiter told us how the bbq worked but but we opted for items from the a la cart menu. We started off with drinks and then our mains. 3/5 Miso soup - pretty good but also wasn't amazing. Standard tasting 4/5 Donburi with pork belly - the pork was very nicely cooked and sliced thinly. The pieces were a bit too big and wished it were cut a bit smaller but I really enjoyed it. Would for sure recommend this place. I'd come back and try the bbq option next time. The place also was decorated very cute with Christmas decorations.

I was so excited when i saw the 'opening soon' sign for this restaurant. The prospect of having a local Japanese restaurant really was too good to be true. We finally made it there tonight despite the snow. The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly, but i just found the food a huge let down for the prices they were charging. There didn't seem to be any Japanese staff, i think it is Korean run. The dishes just didn't taste authentic to me. The avocado salad was tiny for £7, rather bland, and that seemed to be a similar theme for the rest of the meal. The fried aubergine was tasty, and the bottled water was pretty good too. I wanted to love it, but it looks like my favourite Japanese restaurant is still Asakusa in Mornington Cresent!
