Nara Sushi

“Delicious food, prompt service, fun atmosphere.”

Nara Sushi is a spacious Japanese restaurant in Folsom offering sushi, bento boxes, and other traditional dishes. During our visit for a late lunch, we were seated immediately and found the restaurant comfortable and easygoing. The dining room includes tables, booths, counter seating, and tablets at each table for electronic ordering. We started with hot sake and gyoza before moving on to our main dishes. Our group ordered a nigiri and tempura bento box, a salmon teriyaki bento box, and a Spicy Yellowtail Roll. Everything was well prepared, portions were good, and everyone enjoyed their meal.

We chose this place because it’s in our neighborhood and the reviews looked decent, which now feels genuinely confusing. After spending $60, we took a few bites and threw the rest away. The food was flat-out inedible. The sushi was poorly constructed, overwhelmingly fishy, and mushy. The tempura shrimp was soggy instead of crisp, the rolls were a wet mess, and the gyoza was rubbery, bland, and tasted like it had been sitting around all day. The “garlic” edamame had virtually no garlic or flavor at all, it looked like someone waved a clove near it and called it done. To add insult to injury,

This place was worst every bite. The owner was very personable and took care of us. This sushi quality is amazing they could definitely charge more if they wanted but the price is so reasonable. If I lived in the area, I would come here every day.

Karen and I travel frequently and try Japanese food from the east coast to the west. We have been to at least 8 restaurants in the Sacramento region, from Krue to Mikuni. Nara rates very high on our list because it’s menu is much more diverse than the average. Tonight we had appetizers, one of which was a unexpected deep fried oysters and dipping sauce. A nice surprise! One entree was a lobster roll. See photo attached. The second was double spicy tuna wrapped in tuna. Both of these we never had before. Lastly we were served a beautiful fruit desert by the chef himself. See photo. The service
