We have been to this long time local sushi mainstay a few times now. Our most recent outing was during the Monday MLK holiday dinner service. Sushi Nara is located in the nice busting Vineyard plaza off Monterey Road and Tennant Avenue in Morgan Hill. Plenty of parking is accessible in the large parking lot. The sushi restaurant has simple traditional Japanese modern decor. The atmosphere is family friendly and welcoming. There are plenty of tables and booths for dine in. An appealing sushi bar is present as soon as you walk in. We ordered salmon nigiri, unagi nigiri, gyoza, tempura shrimp dinner, rock and roll sushi roll, Godzilla roll and a glass of Chardonnay. Everything was delicious and high quality. My tempura shrimp dinner included plenty of crispy tasty shrimp. The salad underwhelmed with just lettuce and too much dressing. My favorite was the Godzilla roll. Every bite was bursting with flavor. Overall we enjoyed our recent experience at Sushi Nara. The staff were nice and accommodating. Food came out quickly. My only gripe was the price point of the bento boxes and dinner specials were too high compared to other sushi restaurants. I'm glad we were able to drop in finally since we have not been here in a while. read more

Edit: Turns out, I've been going to Sushi Nara since I moved to Morgan Hill over 10 years ago. I have been going to Sushi Nara for at least 5 years. It's all about their Chirashi Bowl and the fresh wasabi add on. It's legit my favorite menu item because they are super generous with the fish slices, variety and portions. I have tried other sushi places that have been a Morgan Hill staple as well as newer places but I keep coming back here. I've mostly done take out these days but when I do done in, the staff are attentive and polite and there's a bit of speed in their step when providing service. There's plenty of space to sit, it's not too loud when the restaurant is full either. read more

Nice sushi place for the whole family. I love the little bomb and the special of the day sushi roll. We take our granddaughters there and it is very family friendly. read more

Went for the first time last night. Should be named teriyaki and tempura house. Almost everything comes with teriyaki sauce but it doesn't say on the menu, it's fine if you like teriyaki, we personally don't. We waited over 10 minutes after being told to pick a table. I told my husband they have 3 more minutes and we are gone if we aren't acknowledged. It wasn't busy. We received rolls we didn't ask for, I let that go, but then having the teriyaki sauce on everything we ordered wasn't pleasant, when we mentioned it wasn't on the menu, the response was, " Yah we put teriyaki on Almost everything " not my thing personally. To those who enjoy teriyaki, please enjoy, more for you. read more

This is a Morgan Hill staple, and it's been around for a long time for good reason. The sushi is delicious and tastes fresh, and it's a nice, reliable spot to go for dinner. read more

My boyfriend raves about this place so he brought me in. the menu is definitely a tad overwhelming there's a lot of rolls to choose from. tomago was disappointing, although it looked like it was made in house, the egg looked very old, and didn't taste good. I got the Victoria's Secret roll.. it was okay. Also tried the unagi nigiri which was good because the unagi itself was cut large. overall probably wouldn't mind not coming back. But the ambiance and sushi chefs were very nice! Ther server seemed a little rushed each time she came to the table, she sighed pretty noticeable when I asked for unagi and spicy mayo sauce so I felt like I shouldn't have asked for anything more than when I first ordered. read more

We started coming here many years ago and love this place. We always sit the the sushi bar. I would recommend specific dishes, but over the years, we have tried almost everything on the menu and it has all been great. So, I guess I"m just recommending everything. Every time anew sushi place opens up, we try it and always keep coming back here. read more

Really enjoyed our visit on Tuesday evening. Staff is very attentive and helpful, they read the room very well and do their best to provide great customer service. This was my first time here, came with my toddler. What we ordered: - Kids plate with salmon (which was half the cost of what we usually pay in another our go to sushi place). The bento box came with a piece of salmon, one pot sticker, one shrimp tempura, salad, rice, miso soup and a slice of orange. Very good size for a kids place and for the price around $9.50. - California roll and shrimp lover roll ( I really enjoyed my rolls). Very cute presentation on a little bamboo bridge. We enjoyed fresh food and very laid back quiet ambiance. I was impressed by the warm, welcoming atmosphere, with the staff and sushi chefs enthusiastically greeting every customer as they entered and left, creating a memorable and inviting experience. We plan to return with my husband next time and sample other sushi rolls. My total for 2 sushi rolls, kids bento box and orange juice was under $50 which is reasonable considering current economy. Give this place a try! read more

Stopped in the second they opened the doors. Was greeted quickly and told to pick anyplace to sit. Waitress was friendly and brought me a water and asked what I wanted. I ordered a pot of green tea and the sashimi combo along with a big bang roll. Sashimi combo - nice selection of fish. Very fresh and tasty. Had the usual tuna, salmon and yellowtail. Big bang roll- was very good. Not very spicy but had a little kick and was really good. They kept the tea coming and and service was excellent Had a few TVs on and the inside is just ok, clean and pretty open. Nothing fancy It picked up really quick, got crowded fast. Good spot for some good sushi read more

Our favorite sushi place in the south county. Good food, good selection and reasonable prices. Staff is always friendly.

A decent place for sushi out in Morgan Hill. I think their prices are a bit high for the level of sushi they provide. I will say the Hamachi Kama is bigger than other sushi places, but the sushi rolls itself is just fine. The nigiri pieces on the family meals seem a step above the sides of the boat. I don't recommend the agedashi tofu. its frozen tofu with a packaged sauce. Not worth. Service is ok, ambiance is typical. Not bad read more

This is a decent neighborhood Japanese restaurant. Place is kept very clean and spacious. The sashimi pieces are humongous, the way hubby likes. And, the most important thing I look for in a Japanese restaurant: they do the sushi rice right. Their roll was very delicious too. The friendly owners serve and cook the food. Worth revisiting. read more

Excellent sushi at excellent prices! Staff is very friendly. The fish was super fresh and top quality! We can't wait toncome back!

I'm taking this opportunity to post more pictures and continue to rave about their sushi. We now get our daughter the child's bento box, which she absolutely loves. We ask for the teriyaki sauce on the side. I have probably tried most of the rolls on the menu and the only one that I am obsessed with is the mango mania. My partner still orders 3 of the eternal sunshines. I will always add pictures so y'all can see how they always deliver :) read more

I've been here a few times recently as it's close to my office. It is nice and bright inside due to all the windows and very clean here. I'm always greeted in a very friendly manner. The fish is fresh and my sushi always delicious! We've had the seaweed salad, sake nigiri, the Jill roll, Victoria Secret, and the rainbow roll. I'm always offered refills on my green tea several times. The service is fast and friendly. It's my new go-to. read more

Not careful with allergies This has happened to me twice. I have ordered and have asked them if they can be careful of a shellfish allergy as my reactions are severe. They reassured me that they can definitely be careful and ensure there's no cross contamination. The very first time I ordered, I did end up getting a reaction. I still opted to give this place another chance because I'm like you know sometimes things just happen. Today, I called and I explained how I'm allergic and cannot have shrimp. I was told again how it wouldn't be a problem. I pick up my food, and confirm again that there's absolutely no shrimp to which they agree. Upon getting home, the entire roll is shrimp. Had I not caught it and ate it, I would currently be texting this from kaisers ER department. I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1 because they agreed to refund me this time. This is unacceptable. read more

Some items on the menu are average and what you expect to find when craving Japanese cuisine. In fact most Sushi establishments locally, provide satisfactory Nippon meals common to Westerners. Sushi Nara presents these Western palettes well enough for my frequent return. read more

The sushi was absolutely delicious here! We had the Justin, La Playa, and the Dragon Roll. I was very pleasantly surprised. Sushi chefs are friendly and call out to you to say hello and goodbye. Our waitress wasn't rude but she wasn't friendly either. Very curt and impersonal. The price was right! The establishment is clean, but run down, like many small sushi spots. The music was quite annoying- rave music, not sure if it was in another language or not but I had a rough time trying to concentrate on the menu because the music was loud and irritating. I would definitely return, but I personally would probably take my order to go or DoorDash it instead of eating in the restaurant. If you are looking for good sushi, from a clean establishment, at a fair price, try this spot! I recommend! read more

Best sushi in the Morgan hill/Gilroy area! I have tried several places when this happens to be closed and keep regretting not waiting until they open. They have the freshest sushi in town. Always welcoming and they always greet you hello and goodbye. The ambiance and decoration could be better but it doesn't take anything away from how awesome the food is. read more

We were immediately greeted, the staff was exceptional and friendly. We sat at the bar and the chefs were very welcoming. The food was fantastic, some of the best sushi we've had in Morgan Hill so far. The fish was fresh, the menu selections were elaborate and all had pictures, the restaurant was clean, and they had the current sports games playing on TV, couldn't ask for anything better! read more

We had lunch there yesterday, not very good, my wife's spider roll and tuna Maguro was halfway decent, my beef teriyaki plate was horrible, I ate it anyway because I was starving. The portions were very small and overpriced, $49 for lunch, a glass of water and one iced tea. And we left there hungry! We were kind enough to give her $9 tip cuz she was pleasant. We won't be going back there, that's ridiculous, we could have went anywhere for lunch, for 58 bucks!! read more

This is not sushi. I would say it's the last place I would go in town. I tried this place once about 10 years ago and vowed to never come back. Gave it one more try. O wow. It's not sushi at all. Rolls are huge and lack flavor. Ramen was instant ramen packet and lacked flavor. Udon was ok. It's just so white wash. It's not Japanese in any way. Service was good and the staff is nice so will give them credit for that. read more

This was our first time trying this place and so far so good. I got the tempura udon wit extra sweet potatoe and it was really good and the tempura was really crunchy. And the servers are always checking if you need something. read more

Not going to even give this restaurant a one star rating. Ordered food for pick up and once we got it home and opened it we found the Californian rolls looking as though they were made the day before. The shrimp tempura that was ordered came as a roll and were super soggy. We contacted the restaurant and they hung up on us. read more

I just stopped by this restaurant near my house and pickup some Togo order. Before the server was hand me the food, he was asking whether I have paid for it. This is a rude and dumb question that he asked customer if you have paid for Togo order. You should check with cashier if the order has been paid for it before hand to customer. The food is nothing wrong. It is just ruin my mood of eating your food. This is my first time and also last time to rerun your restaurant again. Train your server well FYI, look at my receipt of my credit card that attached here for the charge read more

I came here with a friend for lunch and we ordered the family combo. I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately it was just not up to par. The portion size was decent, but one of the rolls we had with the avocado on top, was meant to have a breaded piece inside it but instead it just came out very hard to chew and not good. read more

Sushi Nara is like one of the other great sushi places in Morgan Hill. Very nice people working there. Food is great

The sushi was excellent! Service was prompt and meticulous! Their rolls were excellent and the raw tuna was wonderful!

No complaints here. The nigiri and rolls were great and nicely presented. The wait staff was professional. Only down side if any was that they were not enforcing customers waiting for their togo orders to keep there face mask on even though there are signs stating face mask required when not dinning. A suggestion for the restaurant is to not allow outside food. Saw a family go pick up a couple of Happy Meals from across the parking lot and eat them at the restaurant. If you can't find options on the menu then might not be a place for you. read more
