I really can't say enough good things. The service, the atmosphere, and most importantly, the sushi, were all absolutely incredible. I am quite a sushi snob and I really thought we would never find good sushi in the capital region/upstate in general--we've been almost everywhere else. 15/10 experience! read more

We have been coming here for a long time. The service is always quick and friendly, the restaurant is clean and the sushi is AMAZING!

Sushi rolls good, very small. Sadly one had a hair in it. Friendly server thanked us for patronage, read more

Driving through Clifton Park we were looking for a good meal, and couldn't have been happier that we found Sushi Na-Ra. Everyone there was super helpful, the place itself is cozy, and the food was delicious. read more

Delicious, fresh sushi! My husband and I stopped here for dinner during our weekend trip to Albany. We got a few rolls to share and we both agree it was some of the freshest and most flavorful sushi we have ever had. Our server was also very kind and personable, took time to go over the menu with us and make recommendations. I wish we lived in the area because we would definitely be back! read more

Sushi Na-Ra - Spicy Girl - Japanese Near Me - Clifton Park, New York

After a long day, my family wanted to eat and we wanted to have a plant based meal. Our visit cemented Sushi Na-Ra as one of my favorite places to eat. We had assorted veggie rolls and dumplings. The kimchi dumplings were soooooo good, I returned a few days later and ordered 20 for a gathering. Both times, I failed to photograph then. Also not pictured was the vegetable udon which was delicious. The staff are kind and the food is made with great care. We will return frequently. read more

My favorite sushi spot! Run by a husband and wife they create the best environment with amazing service!!! Everything is super fresh and delicious! read more

Great sushi, friendly service, fresh food... They close a little early and make it clear that they are closing.

Always excellent food and service. Been coming here for well over a decade and was concerned when they closed for a while during the pandemic (makes sense but a lot of places went from temporary closure to permanent). read more

Wonderful restaurant owned by a great couple renowned for their contributions to the Korean adoptee community. Terrific food and atmosphere

This is our "go to" sushi restaurant. Always the freshest and everyone there is so friendly. We love Sushi-Na-Ra.

Simplicity is a beautiful thing. So is wild and creative. You can experience both here at Sushi Na Ra. This is a very small restaurant but they do have a private room for small groups. There is some serious girl power going on here. The sushi chefs are all female. They do a wonderful job. They provide substantial slices of Nigiri Sushi. The spicy tuna, crab salad and spicy scallop are outstanding. They have some very creative rolls and offer choice cuts like Uni as well. They also offer traditional Japanese fair. I have been here numerous times and this sushi is fantastic. Add it to your rotation Capital Region! read more

Amazing sushi! I always have great service and amazing food any time I go! Relaxed ambiance!

Outstanding food and great service. One of the top sushi restaurants in the Capital District.

Fav sushi in area. Super nice staff. I have eaten here several times always good. I get sushi my husband does not, all food very good! They are always improving, there is now nice patio sitting outside, once it gets nice.... Very cautious during pandemic, which I appreciated Again great small local sushi place!!! :) read more

Food is very fresh. Sushi is awesome. The gentleman inside is super nice. Also recommend the fried noodles, the family's favorite.

Fresh, Fresh, Fresh. They have the best sushi around the capital district. They may not have the most extensive menu but best believe what you order will be fresh and delicious. read more

I stopped in for an early lunch at this tiny (4 x 4, 4 x 2 and 6 at the bar) restaurant hidden away at the end of a small strip mall. First and foremost, something I have rarely seen, especially in a Capital Region restaurant - all the visible staff were women. I've heard how difficult it is for any woman to hold her own in a commercial kitchen, let alone succeed in a Japanese kitchen. I can't imagine the difficulties both the sushi chefs faced in prior kitchens to develop the immediately evident skills displayed here during the preparation of my lunch. One more reason to sit at the sushi bar (photo), as the chefs politely engaged me with conversation about my sushi choices. Other good news as I looked around: real hashi, no photos in the menu or on the place mats, and no annoying television, although the light American background music was a little loud. On the downside, I couldn't think of an excuse why the floor and some of the tables were not a little cleaner, as only the first five guests for early lunch had arrived in the building. But all in all, the decor was inoffensive and comfortable. When trying a new sushi restaurant, I usually order a couple of maki and some nigiri, but the menu, while large, did not have a couple of my usual standards, including, of all things, no tamago. Both of the maki I ordered were off-menu. The normal items both contained avocado - as I looked at the menu I noticed that about 70% of their maki had avocado as an ingredient. I decided to try the rolls without. There was only one server for the entire restaurant, but she was quick and attentive. The main was plated without garnish (photo), following a simple but pleasant soup. The nigiri was very good, with richly colored tasty hamachi, and a very light touch with the vinegar marinade for the saba. The spicy salmon maki was actually spicy! And even better yet was watching this prepared: the chef pulled a fillet of salmon from the display cooler, sliced off a few pieces, then barely chopped up the chunks for the maki chef. Almost every other sushi chef in the Capital Region makes this roll by first grabbing a bowl of pre-minced paste. I will definitely return very soon, I just hope it's a little bit cleaner next time. 2019 01 31. S24. read more

I'm naturally shy and introverted, quiet, subtle even. OK you know that's a lie. Advice from Zena: go to Sushi-Na and sit up front at the bar and watch magic unfold and ask questions and learn and listen and taste and compare and discuss with your date and sip your tea and work your way through the nigiri. While you wait for your order, enjoy a deeply soothing bowl of miso soup, laced with seaweed and tofu. It will make you feel happy and friendly. It was a friendly night with a new friend. HCM and I ordered sushi by the piece. Perfect rice, it held together well but exploded softly with every bite. This was beautifully presented wrapped around some of the freshest fish you can get in the capital region. I especially enjoyed the hokkigai (surf or giant clam), and the scallop - something you can't expect on a standard "chef's selection" or "sushi regular". The rolls here are absolutely lovely, and I enjoyed watching them be prepared for other tables. We tried the spicy tuna roll (divine!), and the tekka maki (tuna roll). I watched the chef add the (deadly) "white tuna" to the mix. Maybe she knows I'm a goddess, figuring I can handle it, but next time I'll ask for it without. Lovely little dining room, skilled chef, perfect service, a bit romantic, but mostly great sushi. Thanks HCM for a great night out.

Always delish! The steamed dumplins and Mike rolls are ! It's super small space, some would say cozy , some would say cramped...party size depending...but overall food is yumm! read more

I have come back to this place at least 4x now this year. I have tried other sushi places from Hudson to Clifton and this place is HANDS DOWN the best I've ever had!! The staff is always so nice and helpful. I have yet to be disappointed by anything I've ordered. You have to check this place out. What a gem! read more

The sushi was the best I have tasted ever in any restaurant. The spider roll was the best in my opinion. The Sushi was very fresh. I will come back definitely. If there was an option I would rate 1000/5! read more

Some of the best sushi in the area. Pricey but worth it for fresh and delicious sushi !

Okay I am a sushi snob and I am not afraid to admit it. But its also my favorite cuisine. I live in LA but came home to visit my family. I came across this place based on the reviews and I was literally blown away. The staff is super friendly and the owner knows his stuff about sake. The fish was really fresh and I am literally going to go back next week. I am shocked this place has been open for 20 years and I never knew about it. Please do your self a favor and go to Sushi Na-Ra. read more

Visiting the area for work and I came here on whim. I didn't want to go to any old big box chain for dinner so thought I'd give it a try. Very cute sushi restaurant. Staff is super sweet and the food is excellent. Support local! read more

I love you guys they make me special order sushi do to having the gastric bypass thank you for good fresh food that is filling and just enough read more

This is a place we try to go to every week. The Chef is Korean and she is friendly and makes great food. What separates this place is the warm attentive staff and the friendliness. The food is top notch and while this is mostly sushi and simple Japanese style dishes, there is a district Korean flair. They make all they can in house and the freshness and quality are top notch. Even though the place is in the back of a forgotten strip mall, don't let that fool you. This place is a top three in the Capital District and they have a steady stream of clients who are regulars. This is a very much "back to the basics" type of spot and they do it very well. I will keep comming back. read more

Sushi Na-Ra - Japanese Near Me - Clifton Park, New York

Rinse Repeat. I am going back to 5 Stars for now. Sushi Na Ra continues to be by far the best Sushi in Clifton Park and I don't think I have had any other Sushi in the Cap District that was much better. The two ladies that work the Sushi bar at Sushi Na Ra really care how their sushi tastes and looks. My wife also really likes their lunch special where you get miso, a California roll, and a roll of your choice for $9. Sushi- 5 Stars. Very good fish, fresh and well prepared. Good rolls with a nice selection of more unusual stuff. The Sashimi/Nigiri was huge this time, and awesome as always. Favorite rolls- -Red Dragon -Birthday (see pics) -Any of the Spicy Rolls (love how they don't slaughter fish with mayo) Atmosphere- 4 Stars. Way nicer than I would have thought from the outside. Pretty cozy and Japanese. You can forget you are in a strip mall. Service- 4 Stars. Better this time, more attentive and still friendly. Could easily get overwhelmed as it's a small place there is only ever one waiter. Value- 4 Stars. About where it belongs if not a little pricey. Don't care too much, I don't like cheaping out on raw food. read more

Rev00: The paradise roll was to die for and all the ladies working were so sweet. Wasn't as much a fan of the spicy Yankee, but it seemed like something others might like. The scorched fish on top was intriguing. If it sounds good to you you should give it a shot cause it's definitely interesting. I want way more of that paradise roll. Also had the one with yellowtail and scallions, can't remember the name but it was fresh and yummy. Pretty basic atmosphere. Recommend this place for sure. Rev01: last time we went we got the red dragon...new favorite. I love these people! Rev02 (note for myself): spicy hamachi is your favorite, always order. read more

Sushi Na-Ra - I always forget to take pictures while the plate is still intact but partially eaten spicy yankee & paradise roll (l to r) - Japanese Near Me - Clifton Park, New York

For Clifton, I couldn't ask for better quality sushi. The Maki had more fresh, high quality fish than rice. While this should be the rule for most sushi restaurants, it's often not, particularly in suburban areas, making this place a gem. Wish I lived closer; I'd always order from here. I also wonder, after a meal like this, why there aren't more female sushi chefs. Our only concern was the busser/server, who looked bummed when we showed up thirty minutes before the lunch period ended. It's possible he could have been having a bad day. read more

Sushi Na-Ra - Spicy Salmon Roll and Birthday Roll - Japanese Near Me - Clifton Park, New York

Great sushi and very creative menu. I liked the spicy roll best. Service was good and quick.

We tried this place because of positive reviews on yelp. We were in this region for a doctors appointment and had time for lunch. The first thing we noticed is that there were lots of cars out front as well as patrons inside. We were greeted with a friendly smile's and we're seated immediately. There were great choices on the menu with lots of variety, And reasonably priced lunch specials including a Bento box that offered lots of food. The food was fresh, presentation was lovely and we both enjoyed our meals. It did take a little bit longer than we had hoped to get the food, so we were a little late our appointment. I would definitely go back, but leave a little more time next time. read more

Never a bad roll and the ladies behind the sushi bar are funny and polite. I come all the time for uni and will continue for years.

Always great experience dinning here. The udon noodle soup and paradise roll are my favorite. If you like raw fish, sashimi bi bim bap during lunch time is the best as it's cheaper. read more

Have lived in the area for 3 years now and never tried this place until today. Ordered for pick-up and was pleasantly surprised. I was greeted with mask-covered faces and my food sitting on a nearby table. All normal procedures for the time we are in The man at the register was the same person I spoke to over the phone and was extremely friendly and welcoming. After about 30 seconds of me fumbling around in my wallet for the money to cover the meal and the tip, he asked me if I liked ice cream and of course I told him yes. Then he walked into the back, reached into the freezer and grabbed a container of 2 green tea mochi balls and put it next to my food. Not only was I take back by his kind gesture, but the mochi was some of the best I've had in a very long time. It ABSOLUTELY made my day!! Haven't had the sushi yet, but I wanted to make sure that the way they treated me did not go unrecognized especially in these trying times for restaurants. I will follow-up on the food later FOOD REVIEW: It was great! Was beyond satisfied with everything we received. If you're on the fence about ordering from here just do it. They're awesome! read more

Incredibly fresh and flavorful food from start to finish. We tried the New York and Hazel rolls and were blown away by the freshness and depth of flavors. I had the beef teriyaki and my wife went for the salmon, and each had a unique presentation and outstanding flavors, with top quality beef and salmon and delicious fire-grilled vegetables in a tasty house teriyaki sauce. Dinner for two with soup, salad, tempura appetizer, two sushi rolls and two entrees was just over $100 including tip, and worth every penny. We'll be back again soon. read more

So good. Such great sushi in CP. highly recommend the Crazy Kevin roll if you like spice.
