Loved the delicious food here! To go along with a couple of sushi rolls (Shrimp Tempura and Alaska), we ordered the Hawaiian Poke Salad which is pictured here. Beautiful presentation! Delicious flavor! In addition, our server was friendly and efficient. Atmosphere is on point, the dinning area is clean and pleasant, prices are reasonable. Five stars for sure! read more

Nara Ramen was a delightful surprise and a great new addition to the area. My husband and I were nearby and tried to go to another restaurant that had a wait, but instead stumbled across Nara Ramen. Food: 5/5. We tried a few different sushi and a bowl of Tonkotsu ramen. The sushi was some of the best around! The ramen was good as well, but we thought the sushi was noteworthy and really stood out to us. Service: 4/5 When we first arrived, 3 employees were standing around chatting, so it took a minute or two for them to notice us. Once we were seated thought the service was great! Our waiter was friendly and attentive. Atmosphere: 4/5. I really enjoy the ambiance of the restaurant. It was really clean and had great decor. There can be some issues with not enough parking though since there are a few other businesses around. Kid friendly: 3/5. There were some kids in the restaurant and they had highchairs. It's not somewhere that I would necessarily take our small children to though. Overall, Nara has good sushi and the Meridian location is a great new addition to that area. read more

They made us a SUSHI BOAT. Listen- this is my absolute favorite chain in all of Idaho. Each new location they open gets closer and closer to me in Canyon County. But this time- they brought me the sushi boat. What else can I say except go to whatever one you feel is closest to what you need to do and try it. Sushi, great. ramen, great, appetizers all great. read more

The restaurant is beautiful and has a great atmosphere! Everyone was super nice. We were greeted immediately. We decided to sit at the bar and the sushi chef was fun to watch and talk to! We were immediately given water and squid salad as soon as we sat down. We got 3 rolls and some nigiri, and then matcha mochi for dessert! The sushi was well made and tasted fresh! We took home left overs! If you haven't had o-toro or escolar before, this is a great affordable please to try it!! Will definitely be back! read more

$6 dollars for the smallest bite of Nigiri. This is just laughable. I have never seen such small Nigiri before. I also just found a hair in the ramen. I use to love this place, but I will never order take out again. Wild. read more

Service was great! Very helpful, friendly and presented my order nicely. I came on a Monday afternoon for a late lunch. No wait, and came in as the lunch rush was just clearing out. The place is set up almost exactly like it's previous tenant (Homestead), but with different, and brighter decor. Clean and welcoming. The sushi was just ok. I ordered the Jalapeno Popper, a spicy tuna roll, and an Alaska roll. The jalapeno popper was yummy, but heavy with too much sauce. One piece was pretty much just jalapeno with a little krab, no cream cheese. My rolls were on par with grocery store sushi. Fresh, but the rice was off and the fish in both rolls was just ok. I had a few pieces leftover, which I would normally take home for later. But something about leaving these behind didn't feel like I was missing out on anything. Nice cocktail, beer and wine list. The glass of chardonnay that I ordered was probably the best part of the meal. I might be back to try other items that are not sushi, but sadly wouldn't recommend as a sushi restaurant. read more

I've been here half a dozen times now. We love it. The food is great. But there are never enough servers. Every time we've come there's been either one server having the entire restaurant or two servers sharing the restaurant and the patio. For me a typical lunch lasted about an hour. But if you come here prepared to wait, it's nearly impossible to make it out in less than two. Apps and food and drinks often come all at once. I would go more often but don't have the time to spend read more

Always a great experience! The food here is consistently delicious, and the staff is incredibly kind and welcoming. My go-to order is their spicy rolls -- they're packed with flavor and just the right amount of heat. If you like it extra spicy, just ask -- they're always happy to go the extra mile to customize it for you! read more

We where seated as soon as we went in and they gave us some toasted peanuts which where tasty. They took our order and the food came out hot and pretty fast they a few tables taken. It had plenty of Japanese art up and a bar if you like to sit at and order. Looked clean and plenty of seating. read more

In town visiting my family, and tried this new (to me) sushi place. We started out with spicy edamame and shared several rolls. They were quite good. If you are sensitive to heat, be wary of the spicy edamame. You need not worry too much about the pepper symbols on the menu though. They are not overly spicy, but very yummy!! read more

I had a wonderful early lunch at Nara Ramen. The restaurant has an open concept seating area and a full bar. The best part of my visit was my server Kale! Kale gave me recommendations on the variety of sushi rolls. I chose the Sweetheart Roll (salmon, whitefish, tuna and mango). The presentation was fabulous because it came with a smoking special effect. Kale also gave me some recommendations for Bobas and I tried the Coconut Mango which was delicious. She was very pleasant and knowledgeable. I understand Nara Ramen is very busy on the weekends, but if you don't like crowds they provide take out. The menu offers so much I can't do it justice, but you can check it out online. I recommend Nara Ramen and make sure to say hi to Kale!! read more

So I'll start by saying It was okay. Ordered their jalapeño poppers and felt like they could've been a little softer or cooked longer, they were too crunchy. I also felt like there wasn't much to them like ok I've tried this and won't order again type of thing. I got the spicy beef rib ramen and I thought that was good, I love broth so that was my favorite part about that. Also tried their sunshine roll and thought it was plainnnn, not much to it and/or lacking flavor. Personally I just don't feel like places need to go overboard on the decor on plates. I don't need all the frills, get your kale and fancy decor off my plate, it just doesn't belong. It's close by our home but I'm not sure we'd come back unless really in the mood for ramen (possibly). read more

The newest Nara Ramen location open up on the corner of Chinden and Linder. This place is awesome... The same great ramens, plus a full sushi bar and the only Nara with a full bar. The overall ambiance of the location is clean, fun and fitting to the food. Their spice beef rib ramen is amazing, I usually add an egg to it along with an additional beef rib. The sushi is fresh and the servers are nice. Great add to this growing section of town! read more

This is fastly become our favorite Ramen place in town. Everything about it is outstanding. We've tried four different Ramens. They were all incredible. We have tried multiple sushi rolls and they were all outstanding as well. We just love this place. The food, the atmosphere the service they've got it all. read more

The place is ok at best. Ramen is a bit overly salted but the smoked/grilled char siu (pork) is its saving grace as it's absolutely delicious. The ramen noodle quality here (both the thin and thick ones) aren't that good. Boba drinks and sushi here were subpar compared to other places nearby. Probably won't come pack unless we're too lazy to travel further for ramen (Sho Ramen by Main is much better). read more

Consistently the best experience every time I visit! Isabelle provided outstanding service friendly, attentive, and truly went above and beyond to make everything perfect. The atmosphere is always welcoming, clean, and relaxing, making it such a great space to spend time in. I always leave impressed and looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend! read more

Seriously some of the best sushi in the treasure valley! Everything from flavor to presentation is incredible. Our server was very kind and helpful, we sat at the bar and the chef in front of us was kind and entertaining. The restaurant itself is a little tight but extremely clean. Not to mention the prices! A full sushi roll (and a good very one) for $9.00?! Love it! 9/10 will definitely be back soon! read more

Been here twice since they opened. Had poor service on round 1, gave it another shot and round 2 was worse. We ordered the calamari appetizer and it was greasy and fishy tasting, mostly inedible. The Mrs ordered a ramen dish and the chicken tasted like freezer burnt left over Thanksgiving turkey. I had sushi, it was the saving grace of this meal. Pretty decent. The worse part, we ate 10% of the calamari, the waitress saw it sitting and didn't ask about it. We mentioned it at checkout and no offer to take the uneaten appetizer off the ticket, just a "here's your bill". Won't be back, do better. read more

Really great food and great atmosphere overall, but the last time I went in to sit down, I was sitting next to the window and it was completely nasty on the ground along the window trim, and the window was splattered with food. You guys need to really pay attention when you're cleaning to make sure that you're cleaning underneath the table into the side I don't want to eat my food and look at that. Also, the younger girl that is working there needs to be a bit more friendly. read more

The food was absolutely amazing, as well as even though the restaurant was insanely busy the servers were working insanely hard and fast yet we still didn't feel rushed and felt well attended to! Would definitely go again just for the salmon sashimi!!! read more

Just had edamame delivered. It was filled with ramen noodles in the same box. The gyoza sauce was all over every item in the bag and boxes, and a mess to clean up. Meal was freezing cold. No notification from Uber Eats on delivery status. White rice was fine. I won't order from this establishment to be delivered anymore. The restaurant is fine. read more
