Review from Vincent P.
Kitchener, ON
Nara Sushi Restaurant was the first review that I wrote here on Yelp - and I thought it was time to revisit the review to update it.
I still come here once a week or more for sushi, but now I don't always get the All-You-Can-Eat option (which I did this past Saturday), sometimes I also get the Winter Bento Box for $12.99 (which I did on Sunday), with 2 pieces of Shrimp Tempura, 4 pieces of Vegetable Tempura, 3 pieces of Sushi, 3 pieces of Salmon Sashimi, 3 pieces of Salmon Roll, 3 pieces of Avocado Roll and your choice of Chicken Teriyaki, Beef Teriyaki, Shrimp Teriyaki or BBQ Beef Short Ribs. The Bento Box is also served with Soup and Salad, as well as rice, and it is an excellent deal for lunch or dinner.
The All-You-Can-Eat Sushi menu has also been updated with a number of new items, including a number of vegetarian options.
The staff here also remains as friendly as ever, and have always been very helpful. This is why I keep coming back!Listed in: All You Can East Sushi in…

Review from Mac A.

I'm not a big fan of all you can eat sushi, but I understand what I'm getting to into when I visit an AYCE place: sloppily made rolls, with ingredients of middling quality. Nara Sushi though, is probably the best AYCE sushi I've had so far.
Located at a strip mall in the mid-western sprawl district of Kitchener, aka Fisher-Hallman & Ottawa, the restaurant is quite roomy, despite the small frontage from the street, and had a modern look. But we're not here for the decor, we're here for the the mass quantities of sushi.
The rolls were mostly well constructed, everything appeared fresh, and all was tasty. There was a decent selection of rolls and a few sashimi items as well. There were in fact quite a few rolls on the menu, although most were just variations of each other. I tried sushi pizza for the first time: a crispy on the outside, chewy in the middle fried rice patty as the base, topped with a layer of sliced avocado, a layer of sliced salmon, and a drizzle of blended mayonnaise and wasabi powder, served in wedges. I was a novelty, and pretty good.
There are quite a few rolls I would have liked to try, but our server did not visit our table very often. Nara lost a star for service. Other AYCE places I've been to have very attentive servers, and that's sort of the point of all you can eat - frequent small orders of sushi. Our server visited our table twice, for food ordering purposes, and we were one of three groups there. We had finished eating for a good 10 minutes before we received our bill. At that point we were the only people left in the place, and they were still open for another two hours, so it's not like they should have been ready to close.
Overall, I was pleased with the food, unhappy with the service, and have reaffirmed my opinion that AYCE sushi isn't my thing. I like having the option of paying for something a bit nicer, like a piece of Toro, and I like the ambience of a more traditional sushi place.
If you are a fan of all you can eat sushi though, then I will definitely recommend Nara Sushi. -

As far as AYCE sushi goes in Kitchener-Waterloo, Nara is slightly above mediocre.
They are fast, that's good...but they don't do tuna, that's bad. Even at suppertime, tuna is scarce on their menu.
There's just enough love in their food to keep me coming back, especially considering the competition (which can be MUCH worse in this area).
