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!

As always the food and service was amazing. I ordered pick up and they were right on time like they said. The atmosphere in the place is warm and comforting. It's my favorite place to get sushi in Clifton Park/Halfmoon area.

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.

I'm a sushi lover, and this place was the best one in NY for me so far. Amazing service, I didn't ask his name but the waitress was really sweet. We sat outside, the tables were clean and comfortable.

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!

Maki: spicy salmon.  Nigiri: hamachi, saba, unagi, uni.  Maki: eel cucumber. nigiri: ikuru, ika.  2019 01 31.  S24.

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.

I made a reservation online through Yelp! but it needed a modification. The restaurant was super…read moreresponsive and the reservation was perfect. They were amazing. We were a group of nine that included a few children. We went all out. The clear soup was good and flavorful. The salad was fresh and we loved the dressing. It wasn't the typical orange ginger but a light dressing. Delicious! I got the shrimp and scallop combo hibachi and I love that it comes with both rice and noodles. Lots of fresh vegetables. The scallops and shrimp were meaty and perfectly grilled. Others got steak cooked to their liking and some got salmon. Apps were edamame and a dragon roll and spicy tuna. I didn't try the apps but it was a fancy presentation. Everything was just so good. The service was impeccable. The chef was super engaging with everyone, including the littles. Hibachi is always fun and they are pros on fun. They handled our group with humor and the theatrics you've become accustomed to at hibachi dinner were on point. We went there on a Sunday, late afternoon, and it was amazing. I also got a fried ice cream for my birthday with fireworks! Thank you! The restaurant is big and can accommodate large parties. I want to go back soon! I do want to mention that the person that was paying for this birthday dinner didn't realize that gratuity was already added. They came back to give her the extra cash back that she had put in her payment. She was so grateful she still added a little extra!

We went with a very large group and the staff was very accommodating. The food was very good and…read morethe staff was efficient and friendly. Good times!
