  Best Japanese food on upper avenue road!  Amazing miso soup!
  
  Don't go to the place across the street "Issmi".  Unfriednly staff and overpriced.  
  
  What makes Nara so good is that it's family run and the quality of the sushi is excellent.   It has always been extremely fresh except one time out of many that I have been there. I usually order a sushi combination along with Gyoza and miso soup.  The miso soup is the best I have had anywhere.

  Rating: 2 1/2* for the food with the extra 1/2* for the service.
  
  My wife and I finally decided to try this place as we passed it quite often on our way home.
  
  We came on a Friday afternoon after 4pm and we were the only customers in the restaurant. The place is tiny but clean and nicely decorated. We got seated very quickly. This restaurant seems to be a family owned business. Although they weren't anybody else, it seems that their takeout business is a big part of their sales as they were quite busy with orders. That made us feel a little better about our decision about dining here.
  
  We decided to go with their 32pc Sushi Boat along with a Tempura Udon which came fairly quickly. The Udon came first and unfortunately, it was quite bland. The broth was lacking flavour.
  
  The sushi was simply average. The ratio of fish to rice was skewered towards the rice. The fish was okay. Prices were on the high side.
  
  Service was really good but then again we were the only customers in the restaurant.
  
  Not likely to come back...

  Local sushi spot. Normally order take out here. Sushi is cheap , quick and scrumptious! Delivery is always very quick. The people that run it are really kind and usually throw in a free miso soup and salad to any of your orders. Our go to sushi spot for a fast and affordable during the week takeout spot !

  I live in the area where the sushi restaurant is. Every single week for the last four years or five years we've ordered from this restaurant. They've made mistakes they've made up for in many cases. once my wife got very ill from eating the sushi. They were very apologetic and made up for it which I appreciated. This evening I called in an order and spoke with Charles. My order came to $28.17. He told me that there is a $30 minimum order. They know that I've been loyal to them over the years because they have my orders/order history in their computer and they deliver to us all the time. They would not deliver my order because the difference of $1.83.
  I was floored at the fact that they were going to push me to order something else just to meet their minimum. I spend thousands of dollars every year at this small sushi shop as a sign of loyalty to the small businesses and supporting the small businesses in this area. Charles gave me nothing but attitude and grief. I highly suggest you do not order from this restaurant as loyalty is not one of their top priorities for people in this area.
  Do yourself a favour and go somewhere else. As for Charles this individual was not born for customer service.

  Great little local Japanese restaurant.   Good value, nice service and great food.   We often pick up sushi or get delivery.   Less than 10 tables and food is fast and fresh.
