Very delicious sushi! It was all very high quality and the special tasted amazing! The service was also phenomenal- the waitress even gave us complementary sake on the house! However I will say the sushi is very pricy so be prepared.

Nara offers one of the best sushi experience I had in San Francisco. The sashimi bites were fresh and tasty. The staff were so friendly. They made great suggestions tailored to our needs. I highly recommend the Hamachi Truffle (on the spoons), I could have 100 of those!

Nara is an excellent sushi restaurant providing quality fish. The happy hour menu from 5-7 provides a great value.
Ordered the Tai, Sake, Hamachi and Hotate and the fish was flavorful and served in a hand rolls the fish portions were generous.

The happy hour menu and the unexpectedly large beers made us very content
Fresh seafood and interesting rolls. Though the seaweed were a bit soggy and made it difficult to bite things apart

Delicious rolls and great service. Sushi chefs are friendly and skilled. They have uni from Hokkaido and Santa Barbara as well as great specials.

Our first time here, and we loved it. It started to get hectic when we got there. They sat us immediately. We started off with chicken karaage. Fresh and crispy. Mostly meat and not a bunch of fried breading. Whatever the white dipping sauce was. It was delicious. We asked the waitress but she wasn’t too sure. I had the Jessica Alba roll. I got it without sesame seeds. It had shrimp tempura inside and tobiko. Which in most places is a topping. They put it inside the sushi roll, and it still had that delicious pop and crunch. Had some cucumber in it as well. On top was delicious fresh white tuna or shiro maguro on the menu. Topped with eel sauce. When I say it was delicious. I mean, I ordered 2 for myself. It was that good. I did share a few pieces with 2 people who were sitting at the same table as us. They loved it. My partner had the hamachi kama with side order of sushi rice. Which I highly recommend together. It’s a can soda type of place, so those refills cost more, but they do have happy hours and drink specials on alcohol. I love this place. Can’t wait to come back to the bay to eat here again. Domo arigato gozaimashita.

Nara on Polk Street is a fantastic sushi spot! We went for an early dinner and enjoyed their happy hour from 5-7 PM. The hot sake was perfect for the chilly weather, and we loved all the sushi we tried. Our favorites were the Sake Bomb, which had amazing flavor and crispiness, and the Tres Tuna. The Loco Crunchy wasn’t our favorite—the crab was a bit too oily. The shrimp tempura hand roll was also delicious. Overall, a great experience, and we’ll definitely be back to try more rolls!

Came in here for lunch with a friend for nigiris, but wasn’t aware that they didn’t offer it during lunch.
The server, though, was really patient and talked us through the menu on what we would like to order. Although we were a bit confused and disappointed that there weren’t any nigiris, we were pretty convinced from the sushi choices that our server was presenting us. The rolls were packed with fresh fish and great flavors and we ended up loving it!
I will have to come back for nigiris next time around dinner time.

I was looking for a good sushi spot nearby and oh…my…this place was so good!!! The sushi was ON POINT. Ingredients are top quality, the fish was excellent. I also had their wagyu tartare and it was so amazing as an appetizer! Will definitely be coming back here in my future trips to downtown San Francisco!

Updated: I definitely wanted to go back to Nara Sushi for their amazing gimbap, but the idea hit me on Monday morning while I was busy at the office. Overwhelmed by the usual Monday hassles, I decided to order a pickup instead of visiting the restaurant in person. And guess what? It was fantastic!
The colorful, juicy gimbap brightened up my Monday at work. My coworkers couldn’t resist and rushed over to my lunch box, eager to take a bite, almost begging. I felt so proud of my local restaurant and my Asian identity. Nara Sushi is even developing more options—how can they be so good? I absolutely love Nara!
