Sushi Nara

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.

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!

This place is a hidden gem. Staff are wonderfully friendly, atmosphere delightful and food comes out freshly made and in a timely manner. I really appreciated the little details of the spy sauce pourer and chopstick holders and little bowls. I will definitely be coming back here to explore more of the menu

Absolutely fantastic food! Decent prices, friendly staff, fast service. 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!
