A fantastic sushi place in Guildford! The food was great, there was plenty of selection, and the ordering process was very easy! I would very happily come again, although be prepared for Guildford prices as the sushi is a little pricey but I think it's worth it!

Sushi Nara serve a wide range of sushi dishes as well as hot food based on Japanese and Korean cuisines. Reliably great quality. Excellent service. Subdued but very pleasant atmosphere. Often serving many Asian customers.

The place has more a feel of a café rather than a restaurant, but without doubt the food was exceptional. Menu offer mainly Japanese food, with a few nods to Korea as well. All ordering is done via the QR Code and it gets delivered as and when it is prepared. We ended up ordering a range of dishes from across the menu including delicate Prawn Gyoza, a super-fresh Sashimi Set, a Dragon Roll, Tuna and Avocado Ura-Maki and a Prawn Katsu all accompanied by a fiery kimchi. There was a good selection of Korean and Japanese beers as well This was more than enough for 2 hungry people, and could not fault any of the dishes presented. Overall, a great place for a quick bite to eat.

My family and I (11 people)booked a restaurant around the corner but they made a mistake so we can’t get our reservation on time and that restaurant’s music is too loud(can’t even hear what the waiter is saying),not suitable for my small children and old family. Luckily we found Sushi Nara got enough seat for us. The food are very delicious and quick to serve. Staff are nice and supportive. Highly recommended and certainly would come again.

Proper authentic Asian food in the heart of Guildford. Not fancy or overpriced, but homely and down to earth. The bibimbap is the best I've had for a while - served in a proper hot stone bowl - and the sushi and gyoza are excellent as well. One of my favourite places in Guildford to eat. One small thing I'd change and which I always like in Asian-owned restaurants is free or endless tea of some kind if you order a meal. I'm also not a fan of ordering via an app - you do have the option of ordering from a member of staff though. Part of the eating experience for me is the social aspect and also chatting to the serving staff for recommendations etc.

This restaurant is decent. I have only had the sushi as a main and it is very good with a variety of sushi. I really recommend the spicy prawns (i cant really remember the name) but it is a starter and honestly it is the best thing on the menu and it never disappoints. Personally, I do think sushi Nara is one of the best sushi restaurants around here since I usually come back here (especially on birthdays). Peace Out.

Formerly an excellent restaurant. They used to be very attentive and even gave you something little after the meal to say thanks. The food is still great. But come on - you get charged for curry sauce and rice with your Katsu. £4 for the pleasure. From generous to miserly.

We're quite new to the Guildford area and were looking for somewhere to take our daughter for her birthday. We're so glad we found this place. It was outstanding in every way. Great, friendly service and great food at a reasonable price. The sashimi was a very high quality. Tempura prawns were the best I've ever had. Can't wait to go again.

Finding half-decent sushi, other than anywhere in Japan or in North American coastal cities, is pot luck, so it was a surprise to chance upon some in, of all places, Guildford! And why not? If Guildford was a good enough place to feature in a TEFL text, surely it must be an exemplary tourist destination? No, the town probably ended up in one of its English lessons because the text's author was from the area and felt confident they could include a map of the city to accompany the standard phrase for nascent English speakers, "Can you direct me to the train station please?" so students could be assured of being back at Waterloo Station where they were meant to catch a train to somewhere else. And maybe that is how this and other exotic eateries ended up in this unlikely town, foodie flotsam that could have prospered better in London with its higher footfall. If you crave sushi in deepest Surrey, venture beyond the train station before you shuffle off back to Bayswater. It ain't kaiseki, but its overflowing bento box won't break the bank either. And if you were in a class of future English teachers that I stood in front of twenty-five years ago in the college in Mỹ Tho, Vietnam, seeing me scratch my head as I asked aloud, "Why would anyone would include a lesson on how to get around Guildford?" forget it. It's worth a visit. And let me know if the score to West Side Story that I left behind for you to practise, spawned a string of musical theater schools or a passion for New York. Sorry Britain.

My favourite Japanese & Korean restaurant in Guildford!! 🤎🤎🤎 We went to here for dinner last Saturday and the experience was fantastic! We have a really good time there! Four of us ordered beers 🍺 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 We recommend Sapporo for everyone! Taste not very strong but very refreshing and instantly cool your body down! Really a good choice for summer. And we order: Salmon + tuna sushi 🍣 (10pcs) 🌟🌟🌟 Salmon is very fresh and delicious, you can taste the quality of salmon is great. Tuna sushi is a bit not that good compared to salmon but still acceptable. Nara Roll 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Special roll with salmon and avocado with spicy mayonnaise sauce. Very tasty and delicious! This is our favourite one! They put the spicy sauce as a side so even you can’t handle spicy you can still enjoy it! Very nice😊 Crispy prawn roll with eel 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I love eel and if you are same I recommend you to try it! Really great 😊 Beef bibimbap 🌟🌟🌟🌟 The bibimbap is hot enough and with the spicy sauce added on it is just perfect for us! We share it together and everyone like it! Quite healthy choice they mix with different vegetables and egg. Very fulfilling. Chicken bulgogi 🌟🌟🌟 Pan fried chicken and vegetables with spicy sauce on. Not very spicy at all, quite delicious and we all like it! Squid bokum 🌟🌟🌟🌟 I think this one is quite similar to chicken bulgogi. Pan fried squid with vegetables with spicy sauce added on. Same sauce with chicken bulgogi. We like it and I think if you looking for some hot food to eat I would recommend this. Service is amazing all staffs are very helpful, friendly and you can see they are always put a smile on ☺️ the atmosphere is very chilling and relax. Recommend and definitely will come visit again!

Not a big fun of QR code orders (prefer menus) but here dialectic comes into play, if one wants fast service and decent prices QR code is clearly the way to go. However, they could improve WiFi service by implementing auto-connect once QR code is scanned!

My boyfriend and I were looking around Guildford around 9pm for food and luckily for us, Sushi Nara took us in (we ordered real quick and left the restaurant at 10!) and the service was marvellous - everyone was very friendly and even the owner were cracking jokes with us. The food - I have been here multiple times for the past few years and it's been a while since I have been - but after being back a few days ago, I remember why I loved this place. We had the kimchi pancake, which was crispy - just the way we like it! The chicken katsu was cooked to perfection, juicy and tender. My boyfriend had the udon chicken and the umami flavour dancing in our tongues! We had the mango mochi ice cream and matcha ice cream for dessert. The mango mochi was great, can never go wrong with it. The matcha ice cream was powerful, which we prefer but a bit too icy. Nonetheless, it was great! We will definitely come back to try more from the menu soon! Thank you!

Much as we were treated well, and the food was good, I don't see why people still mention 'service' when no one is really waiting tables? The more 'technology' restaurants succumb to, the less of a restaurant experience it will be,sadly. Convenience will eventually destroy this type of business.

This is probably the best Japanese (and Korean) food in Guildford. We like it so much that we went twice a week apart. Staff are very hospitable, not too long to wait for food, food tastes delicious and fresh. We'll probably go again soon. Best to book ahead as both times the place was very packed.

Well worth a visit….just push on through the wooden door tucked underneath TGI Friday. I tried the octopus Takoyaki….they came out boiling hot…let them sit for a couple of minutes to enjoy…very tasty. I also ordered a selection of sushi and sashimi which was all very good washed down with just sparkling water this time all for just under £40. They ask you to order through a QR code which was on the table…..it took a few attempts to get it to work because of signal strength and data transfer speed.

We waited outside for 10 mins only to be then told because we had a 2yr old with us there was no room for us as we would need a high chair. We told the assistant we didn't need one he would sit on my knee, she then just left us standing in the doorway. Untill we got fed up. The mum behind us got seated with her 2 children that were old enough not to need a high chair. If your staff can't make a decide find someone who can.

Sashimi tasted fresh and the tempura was done in good quality. The scallops were sliced too thin though compared to a normal portion elsewhere. Deep fried pork in the bento was a tad too dry.

So I’ve written hundreds of reviews of hundred of restaurants, but for some reason I’ve never been to Sushi Nara, which may well be the nearest restaurant to where I live. No idea why, but I think I always was underwhelmed by the thought of sushi. Recently though I’ve taken to having sushi for lunch and when an old friend was in town and fancied some sushi for dinner I though of Sushi Nara. We arrived almost at opening time and within half and hour it was pretty packed. It’s a little Spartan and doesn’t have the Instagram vibe at Ivy Asia but the food is far better. We Just had a Bento and some Gyozas but everything was perfectly made and presented. My only small gripe is that they don’t do alcohol free lager (there are some great Japanese ones so please get some!). Apart from that it was a really good meal in a nice place served by friendly staff. And all for £23 a head. I’ll be back. Lots I suspect
