    10/10 coming back to get more rolls. Sorry I didn't get the names of the rolls but they're all so delicious.
    Martin A.

    Food is 10/10 Quick responsive service definitely coming back and try more rolls . Garlic roll is really delicious we had to double up and order 2nds.

    This is California Roll sushi it's the spicy version which I like a little kick to it!

    If I'm in the mood for some Chicken Katsu I go to Sushi Kara in Long Beach off Bellflower Blvd. Salad is good tasting with a bit of sweetness to it!. Chicken Katsu is the best I've had since moving back from Hawaii! I had my order to go, but if you do dine in atmosphere is nice with friendly service! I've eaten there almost a dozen times. Spicy California roll is good has a kick to it but not a flame thrower. Just right amount to make it. Meal also comes with a cup of Miso soup which is tasty. I recommend this place, lots of food to choose from! Chicken Katsu is ono, which means delicious in Hawaiian! Thank you Sushi Kara!

    We were in Long Beach for an appointment, so looked for a sushi place close by. Found Sushi Nara had decent reviews. Easy to find using our car navigation system. My wife and I are on low sodium diets, so this place worked out perfectly. We started by sharing a large bottle of Sapporo which was served with chilled glasses. We each ordered the crab cucumber salad, and we shared a tuna roll, salmon roll and Washington roll. The sushi was very good, not exceptional. I much prefer octopus cucumber salad over the fake crab. Would want to try their other Japanese dishes like the tempura.

    Best sushi ever! My boyfriend and I cannot get enough of this place! Sushi is always fresh and so tasty. The waitresses are sweet and attentive. They recently updated their decor and looks great although I do miss their old wallpaper with various fish.

    The sushi was fresh and delicious. The service was great! First time here and I can't wait to come back. Highly recommend. Enjoy!

    The food was so good!! I kept eating even though I was so full. The spicy crunch roll was my fave. The interior looks very clean and simple. Also had beer deals!

    Been here a handful of times, we will come here just to get the oh my garlic roll. It's just so good, it melts in your mouth. I love the creaminess, and the garlicky flavor it just goes together so well. Garlic is amazing but who would have thought it'd go so well with sushi! We recently tried the hot mess, and we loved it, the crispy tempura, spicy tuna and sauce. They have such a wide selection of rolls, and food options. The food comes out quickly, the staff is very accommodating and it's just a casual quiet restaurant. Definitely get their Oh my Garlic Roll!

    Wanted a little sushi and Found this spot close to my hotel while on business. Looking forward to sampling their menu

    Awesome Roll

    Welp guess I found our new sushi spot! Came to Sushi Kara out of convenience and left a happy customer. It definitely had the feel of a quick go-to local spot as opposed to a night-out vibe. But the fish quality, selection, and authenticity definitely stood out. To eat we had two rolls, some nigiri, and the i love salmon appetizer. The rolls were packed with flavor but not overly big or sauced up. The sushi was classic and made with greats cuts. Pro tip: order the real side of wasabi. Game changer! Whether you're looking for fun rolls or classic sushi, Sushi Kara is more than enough for a great sushi fix.

    Miso soup was delicious and staff was very kind. We visited around 3:30, close to csulb as a plus

    Scottish Salmon carpaccio, scottish salmon sushi, and uni sushu

    LOVED!! was craving sushi and decided to try this small, family owned business. Fish was super high quality!! We ordered bluefin tuna carpaccio, bluefin toro sushi, 3 hand roll lunch special, Scottish salmon carpaccio, and Scottish salmon sushi. I was surprised how thickly sliced the carpaccio was especially since most places do more fine and thin. The uni was so fresh I could taste the ocean. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area. The service was also amazing and the food came out super fast. (Alot of parking space in the plaza.)

    Do they have gluten free items here?

    I stopped by recently and was told by the staff that only the sashimi is GF. 😔

    Do they offer ayce?

    I'm pretty sure they don't!

    Cozy spot for incredible sushi!…read more I tried Golden Eye Snapper for the first time ever, and it might be one of my new favorites! The lightly torched skin gives each bite a nice, firm textural contrast against the delicate, tender meat. The yuzu garnish puts it over the top! My other favorites are Striped Jack and Hokkaido Scallop. My friend, who doesn't really like eating fish, loves their Double S Roll (tempura shrimp & fried scallops.) The service has been mostly wonderful. We did run into one hiccup when we found some hard, jagged black chunks in the Double S Roll that we couldn't eat. They looked and felt like metal or charred debris, but the staff insisted they were black sesame seeds. Otherwise, the staff has been upbeat and super friendly. If you're looking for your next unforgettable bite, do yourself a favor and order the Golden Eye Snapper!

The hand roll was elegant, fresh, and delicious. I loved the seaweed. The Spicy Scallop was my favorite because of the quality ingredients and value. It was definitely spicy. The TNT Roll was amazing, but I had to remove the Jalapeño due to it kicking my ass. I'll definitely return because I had an exciting experience.

I've had a wide range of their sushi rolls and nigiri, and they've all been amazing. Some standouts: Salmon Sample, Aburi Miso Salmon, Toro, Salmon Lemon Roll, and Yuzu Roll. My favorite appetizer is the Agedashi Tofu. The flavors are insane! They also have a "bento box" type of option where you can choose two or three items for a great price. This is a great option for non-sushi eaters and sushi eaters alike because the options include chicken teriyaki, chicken katsu, tempura, and several roll options. Service is usually pretty good.

I was the only patron at around 6 pm on a Wednesday night. The server was fantastic; attentive and very friendly, but the food was mediocre. The Edamame was mushy and the Tempura was so so and also mushy. Both seemed overcooked. I ordered a variety of Nigiri Sushi which was adequate but very average at best. Nowhere near the 4.7 starts this place was rated. I will say the Toro Maguro was good but the rest of it was average.

However I was still hungry after so, the special wasn't as filling as I'd expected. I did order their Las Vegas roll too and that was very tasty. Service could have been better. One thing about me is I take a simple acknowledgment seriously. So when the waitress placed a menu with me while simultaneously talking to another patron as the patron was leaving and didn't even acknowledge me I take as a lack of simple courtesy. So not off to a good start. Then, after I ordered and my special was given to me, the waitress didn't check on me for 15 to 20 minutes. My empty salad bowl and soup bowl sat on my table, water was empty needing to be refilled, I wanted to order another roll but at that point was under a time crunch. It was a frustrating situation. My waitress did apologize and seemed sincere. Apparently there was a problem with the shipping the restaurant received that day and she was on the phone with their supplier which pulled her away. She offered a soda or dessert on the house but because of my time crunch I didn't have time for that and the extra roll. Again perhaps it was an off day I came. The space was good. Clean and comfortable seating.

I wanted a refill of soda and my both my husband and I wanted more ginger and Sriracha sauce. And she was no were to be found. She finally came to take our second other of sushi and the order came after we let her know we had been waiting more than 20 minutes for 4 (4 piece) sushi rolls. She had an attitude of being bothered by our question- (do you know what's taking so long for us to get our order?) she looks at the table and asked us- You haven't gotten your sushi roll order? Apparently she failed to notice that the table had no dirty dishes. I believe it was more than enough time to have gotten our order, I noticed that other people were getting their orders before us. And yes! I know that happens often. But her attitude made us uncomfortable and I even thought she made had forgotten about our order and never put it in. Anyway! The food is great! I do recommend this place. But they really need to train their staff (servers) to be more understanding and friendly with their customers. The guys that pick up the dirty dishes are more nice and friendly than the servers that are the main workers that are representing the restaurant and its reputation.

We sat at the counter/bar. The servers were nice. What we got: Salmon/tuna poke bowl: quite yummy. A mixture of both salmon and tuna in a great poke sauce over a bed of rice and salad. Salmon skin salad: if you like salmon skin, this is yummy. A perfect crunch seasoned really well to complement the bed of greens. Furikake fries: thinly cut potato's with furikake seasoning paired with a sweet mustard dipping sauce. I would have enjoyed more Furikake on the fries, but that's just me. This place has real wasabi if you ask for it instead of the watered down stuff you usually get. It's actually pretty good! Overall great food and great service. I'd come back for sure!
