Nava Sushi Japanese and Thai cuisine in Scarborough

Very nice food, service, and atmosphere.

Need to eat here evety time I'm in the area

Nice little restaurant,was advised to go there for a lovely meal.We went for our Anniversary and was not disappointed at all with this lovely food. 1 thing I would advise people to do if going herd for food is to book a table.We were fortunate to be able to get a table but plenty who tried after us were turned away.So if you want to try this amazing food please book.

awesome food (especially the presentation), good prices, and friendly owners, i highly recommend this place

Favourite restaurant in town. Absolutely delicious sushi and Thai food! Keep making excuses to return. Food is beautifully presented and lovely staff.

One of the best Japanese restaurants I have been to, one of Scarborough's best kept secrets!

I'm Asian and been to Japan many times. Was surprised to find good Japanese food in Scarborough of all places. Better Japanese food than Japanese restos in other parts of the UK. The donburi servings were very generous. Very friendly staff. Would also suggest trying out their Thai food since the place is owned by Thai people.

A wonderful little patch of Asia within Scarborough. After living in Japan, I’ve found it difficult to find authentic Japanese food here in the UK but Nava was able to satisfy me. The menu has a wide variety of Japanese and Thai dishes from donburi, yakisoba and sushi to Pad Thai noodles. My two friends ordered green curry and katsu chicken curry and I chose the Osaka bento which included teriyaki chicken, sticky rice, two vegetable gyoza and a salad section. It also comes with a side of miso soup. The entire bento was delicious and so was the soup. There isn’t anything I can fault with it. My friends said their food was also excellent. The atmosphere of the restaurant was cosy and relaxed. Some gentle music was playing, the walls were decorated with Japanese-inspired scrolls and there were fake sakura trees and lanterns which made for a beautiful setting. If I lived in Scarborough, I would eat here every day.

Amazing food, would definitely recommend and eat here again

Absolutely gorgeous food thank you so much

Good service and it tastes delicious foods.

Food delicious and staff friendly 😊😊

Decided to go here for lunch and ordered the duck spring rolls and the creamy Japanese miso ramen with Tonkotsu, all I can say is wow 😮 food was amazing. Everything tasted so fresh and was packed full of flavour. I highly recommend this place.

Love this place, soooo tasty, lovely staff, very helpful. Nutty budha with chilli is divine x

Insane food, friendly staff, and Jesus the inside of the restaurant is so beautiful you would think you were in London. 10/10 in every aspect.

Taste of the food was good but it was not spicy at all, though the menu card says it is supposed to be spicy. If you are looking for spicy food, ask for it, you might get food which is sweet

Food delicious, staff friendly, service is a little.slow depending on how busy the restaurant is.

Last night was my partners and i’s first time trying nava sushi and it was delicious! My partner who doesn’t like anything seafood was pleased to see a nice choice of non seafood options. The service was friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere and decor was gorgeous! We’ll definitely be back.

Thank you for your response. I'd like to clarify a few things. On that day, apart from us, there were only two other tables occupied. Most of the seats were empty and not reserved. I don’t understand why you insisted on seating us in the corner. Also, in a mostly empty restaurant, why did you make me put my carry-on bag on the floor? Other customers were allowed to place their bags on the chairs, so why wasn’t I allowed to do the same? If the restaurant had been crowded, I wouldn’t have taken up extra space, but do you think my backpack is too dirty? Additionally, from a communication standpoint, why did your staff speak to us in a commanding tone, even rolling their eyes? Is this how you treat your customers? Regarding the drink we brought in, it was only because after we placed our order, you took a long time to bring our food, and we weren’t even given a glass of water. My wife suffers from severe hypoglycemia, and at that point, her lips were turning white. I had no choice but to let her take a sip of Coke. Instead of asking if she was okay or needed any help, your staff came over to reprimand us and asked us to pour out the Coke and leave. This kind of treatment is difficult for me to understand, and the discrimination we experienced is unacceptable

Look at the shop decoration and signs thought it was Japanese cuisine, but I found the waiter are Thai, the whole shop is no light, very dark. I was greeted by a grim-faced old woman with glasses, her head down and her eyes rolling. Her English accent was so strong that it was hard to understand. The food was just as I had expected, a Thai version of Japanese cuisine, and it felt like they really liked Thai customers, so why not have a restaurant in Thailand, but run to the UK to have a restaurant to provide Janpanese food？ㅅㅂ

Visited a number of times now, and it's been great every time. The staff are friendly and the food is both delicious and good value for money. Book a table if possible, there's often been no spare tables for walk ins when I've visited.

Excellent food, excellent service and crazy full-on decor which I loved! Beautiful presentation

This is a hidden gem in Scarborough. The food here is so good. The sushi is so fresh so would recommend it! The staff are very attentive too.

Thriving new small business. Very tasty Thai food. Reasonably priced & great atmosphere. Nice staff. A little gem!

Wow what a find on our door step, great food and service

Lovely place with good service. The sushi and the katsu curry we tried were tasty and fresh.

First time trying this place and so glad we did. We are frequent visitors to Scarborough and will definitely be visiting again. Service was amazing, the waitress very patiently explained the menu to us and her recommendations were absolutely delicious. It's a beautiful little restaurant and we can't wait to go back.

Lovely food. Very kind staff :))

Everything about this place is lovely.

I've been here on numerous occasions and the food is always consistent and delicious. The staff are really friendly and do their utmost to please.

Great to see visit this new place in Scarborough. Had the bento box, Thai iced tea, and a duck roll - all were great. The staff were lovely, quick, and friendly. Will be visiting again to try some of the sushi rolls. Update: had the sushi rolls on our second visit, and they were also great. Our favourite is possibly the Scarborough roll... it's hard to choose!

I love the food here, its great to eat at and the experience in the restaurant is great. However whenever i order your rolls for delivery the ones that specifically say cucumber always have it swapped out for avocado. I have no problem with avocado but my partner cannot eat it, which limits her choice even more. Now we never know if theres going to be surprise avocado on the rolls! 💔 otherwise its a perfect experience, but not everything needs avocado 😅

It was a Birthday treat with my kids. The food is sensational! Best flavours iv tasted with sushi!

My second visit and it didn't disappoint! The food is absolutely delicious, presentation is on point and it's value for money; I'll definitely be back!

Love Nava Sushi, they always make us gorgeous Tom Kah Gai soup even though its not on the menu! Sushi is amazing, as are the curries. Highly recommend!

We had a takeaway and it was absolutely delicious, highly recommended.

Excellent food and service, great value for money

Good service Good food staff nice friendly it me ha haha

Beautifully prepared and presented sushi. Great to have this available in Scarborough. Would definitely recommend. I will certainly be making regular visits from now on!

Nice little spot for some pretty good sushi. the staff were lovely and very attentive.

Great food, service, and really pleasant place to enjoy your evening!

Gorgeous gorgeous food, lovely decor and really friendly people. Me and my grandma had a lovely time will definitely be back :))

Lunch with 5 friends was lovely. We had a mixture of sushi, gyoza and soups. All delicious 🙌

The so called Japanese restaurant is actually run by Thailander. So, please do not expect you can enjoy delicious Japanese food here. I have never had warm sushi in Japan but was "lucky" enough to have it here. The ramen was quite expensive in consideration to it's very small portion. Also, the ramen was too soft when it was served to table. Most upset was that a very tiny little teapot of green tea with only one tea bag in costed £2.4. I asked the waiter to add one more tea bag as it was tasteless and more water, he didn't advised me it would be counted as 2 teapots of tea until payment of the bill. What a trick.

Unbelievable Thai food and sushi restaurant, well worth a visit. Nothing bad to say, all food was well presented and very tasty.

Awesome food with the presentation of the sushi dish as step up to serve. Would hugely recommends sushi and sashimi if you’re a big fan of raw and fresh food! The atmosphere is chilling 😎 and quiet. the price is beyond reasonable with the incredible value. Highly recommend.

Lovely food, attentive service - top notch ! 👍😎

We have eaten here twice during our holiday, food is excellent, staff very friendly and very efficient. Not a big place, best tò make a reservation, which you can do online very easily. Just wish we lived closer to Scarborough, but if we are here again, we will be calling in.

Been getting take out and eating in here since it opened, always superb. Sushi is some of the best we've had and we have eaten a lot! Could do with a kids menu, but we just order Katsu Chicken with no sauce and then rice and chips for the little one. Lovely inside and friendly team.

Great food, I ate far too much sushi and the katsu chicken was really good. Highly recommended

Excellent service, the food was really amazing, the best Thai green curry ever. Well worth visiting Scarborough, just to eat here.

Good sushi , definitely go back again

We recently decided to visit Scarborough to celebrate a family birthday, and we were excited to find a restaurant that served the kind of food we enjoy the most. Having seen reviews online, we were hopeful that Nava Sushi would be a good place to eat. We weren't disappointed. A small eatery not too far from the seafront, Nava Sushi was just a short walk from the town centre and was easy to find for tourists. Upon arrival, we were quickly seated and provided with menus. There was a great selection of food and the prices were very reasonable. My wife chose a ramen dish while I chose a favourite of mine, the Thai green curry. We also had a sushi platter and some crispy duck spring rolls. The food came out fairly quickly and was presented beautifully, especially the sushi platter. The food was delicious. The curry was one of the best I had eaten in a long time, and the accompaniments were also very tasty. The portion size was just right, and the food was served hot. The restaurant was clean and tidy, and the service was perfect. The staff were never far away but nor did they bother you whilst working. I appreciate that a lot while I'm dining. 10/10. We would definitely return here to eat. I would recommend Nava Sushi to fans of Asian food while in Scarborough.

Absolutely gorgeous food. Can't recommend it enough

Fairly small restaurant, so might need to book if you intend to eat in rather than takeaway. Only tried the Thai food, a Chiang Mai Bento dish but it was very tasty. Edit...Rather than leave another review, just adding that we came back again. Wife had sushi and and I had Massaman curry. Again we were impressed. Well done.

Deliciud food! Thank you for opening such a lovely place! I love both Thai and Japanese food and you make it perfectly well!

Food was excellant. Great choice Very authentic

Love the food and service nothing els to say

Scarborough has needed a sushi restaurant for years! Lovely food and lovely staff & service. Would definitely come again and recommend. I had the california roll and the prawn tempura roll

Dropped in on the off chance we could get a table. It was quiet so we did. Food was absolutely delicious 😋. So much to choose from. Staff were very friendly and even checked for any dietary requirements. It got busy very quickly. Service was good. You were left just the right amount of time after eating before the table was cleared and dessert menu was given. Good value for money and will certainly go back.

Brilliant sushi! Been twice and love it.

Excellent food with lovely service. Place to be.

Excellent food and lovely people. They were extremely attentive with regards to my dietary needs. Absolutely recommended.

Not a good restaurant at all small business no toilets cramped up dirty glasses with black bites on side sushi was discuting with fish eggs all over it and cheap and nasty crab sticks won't be going here again had to wait ages for a drink

Absolutely beautiful food, the ramen was incredible, chicken was some of the best I’ve had - and the presentation of the sushi dishes speak for themselves. Not usually a picture-taker but I had no choice. Would hugely recommend trying their homemade lemon ice tea, my only complaint was that I couldn’t take one away with me. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxing and the price is beyond reasonable; 4 full meals with drinks & starters for less than £80… Incredible value. Hugely recommend.

A very welcome new addition to dining options on Eastborough, Scarborough. A nice selection of cuisine from Japan and Thailand, with the surprise bonus of Korean Kimchi thrown in there too. The menu is not typical for what you’d usually expect from a Japanese restaurant, but it is more typical for what you’d normally see from a Thai restaurant - I guess that’s what comes from fusion cuisine eateries. We also asked for some off-menu items including simple Avocado hosomaki, and salmon hosomaki which the chef was able to accommodate easily on the Sunday lunchtime that we were there for. They also managed to accommodate a request for iced coffee. Nice portion sizes (larger than expected soup/salad/kimchi dishes, and chunkier sashimi, or maki fillings). Items are labelled for Vegan/Vegetarian options, many dishes have a veg alternative, but don’t be afraid to ask for off-menu items as they were very accommodating overall, and mindful of asking about allergies for your accommodations. The Nava Sushi Special & Nigiri Special, and the Bento Box were beautifully served, fresh and appetising. We also had an order for Japanese Ramen which was appreciated for it’s simplicity - not overloaded with extra ingredients - as our diner likes their food with no extra surprise foods. The Massaman curry was creamy, sweet and comforting. The toilet is through the door at the back and upstairs - so there’s no level access for that & no baby change. There is a step outside to enter the restaurant and a tight squeeze for a wheelchair or pushchair users.

I'm so glad Scarborough finally has a good Asian/Sushi/Thai restaurant where the food was really good and the staff was very friendly. As a regular visitor to Scarborough to see the in-laws, I'm happy to see the town becoming more diversified in their cuisine and food options.

Sushi was amazing and the lady who served us was lovely. Will come again 🥰🥰🥰

Wonderful experience. This was what lacked im Scarborough. Delicious food, nice presentation and lovely ambience plus great service. Will be regular customer.

Really lovely sushi and sashimi! Beautifully presented and super fast service. They had a massive menu with lots of variety and really friendly staff too.

Absolutely great fresh food, expertly prepared too. Cannot fault anything about Nava Sushi. The staff were lovely, food arrived quickly and everything tasted great. Loved having a Thai Iced Milk Tea and also the homemade Mochi Ice Cream. The fish was fresh and tasty and there was such care put into the two bento boxes. Thank you again, we hope to return soon to try more dishes!

Very friendly staff and delicious food.Sushi on high level 👏

First time here been recommend did not disappoint good job x Will be back from Tuis of Thai restaurant and cocktails bar in Malton

Brilliant food and service . The Sushi was excellent and beautifully presented. I also had an amazing Penang curry.

Wow money well spent ! The attention to detail in the sushi made it look like a masterpiece and the perfectly balanced smoked flavours from the miso aubergine went down a treat. I hope this place does well and gets the support it deserves, its refreshing to finally get authentic sushi in scarborough and I for one think its worth supporting the diversity, nice change from fish&chips, Indian and Chinese scarbs already has to offer. The lady's serving us were really nice too and the food came out in great time couldn't ask for more really. I definitely will be back again to sample more of whats on offer ..... the menu is crazy large :)

Fantastic sushi! Can't wait to visit again. So glad a place like this has opened up in Scarborough. Got the chef's special along with the Rainbow roll and it was amazing. Very fresh, highly recommend!

Some of best sushi we have had, service was spot on and attention to detail with the food and presentation was perfect. Now one of our favourite restaurants in town.

Really beautiful food. Very good service.

Amazing food and great service. The fish was excellent quality, and the portions were well generous. If I was a local, I’d be a regular here!

this is a fantastic restaurant with a lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and quick service time on the food. speaking of, the food quality was superb! i'd say they have the best duck spring rolls (and my friend loved the chicken gyozas too!) ive ever had! also excellent quality ingredients including fresh sashimi salmon and the sushi was spectacular. definitely recommend it to those who have love sushi or someone who wants to try it out! will be going again ❤️

Excellent meal , open lunchtime during the week. Offers a great alternative to the normal choice at this time of day offers sushi and thai food

Best sushi we've had too. Beautifully presented and great value. Lovely service too.

Nava sushi serves some of the best sushi I have ever tasted. Definitely a welcome addition to Scarboroughs restaurants. A must try if you live near or are visiting Scarborough. I would phone and book they get busy especially at the weekends.
