Nara Ramen and Sushi Bar

4 months ago

“My friend and I both work downtown and decided to give this place a try. We went at 12:30pm on a Tuesday and it wasn't busy for dine in. We ordered the jalepenos, a black dragon roll, and spicy miso Ramen. Everything was wonderful and very tasty. The coolest part was they brought the roll out with an egg shaped rock thing that had dry ice in it. You can kind of see that in the photo. It was such a great and fun way to present the food. We were super impressed! Anyway, give this place a try. Very reasonable prices also“

“Checked out Nara Sushi in Boise recently. They have a couple locations but we ended up in downtown Boise. I love that they had both sushi & ramen. I tried the veggie roll and it was pretty standard but good. My sisters boyfriend tried the shrimp tempura roll and he said it was really good and held together pretty well considering how full it was. We ordered Ramen as well. I was a little disappointed that they didn’t have a vegetarian ramen, only a vegan ramen which actually cost more than the ramens filled with meat. The menu at some of the other Nara Sushi places said they had vegetarian ramen but when we asked our waitress she said she didn’t think the other locations had it either. So maybe their online menus aren’t updated. I didn’t care for the impossible meat added to this vegan ramen but everything else was pretty good. We also ordered the spicy beef ramen with mild heat and liked the heat level of this broth, but we didn’t care for the meat in this dish. We also ordered the spicy ramen with medium heat with chicken instead of pork. Medium heat was a tad on the spicy side but still good. Next time we probably will just get the mild spice level. Chicken was boiled in this dish so we didn’t love this meat option either, but that was likely just personal preference. Service was really great. The place itself is cute inside as well.“

“We stopped at Nara Ramen for lunch after a bike ride on the Greenbelt, and it totally hit the spot. The curry was warm, rich, and full of flavor—just what we needed. Our son loved his ramen and practically inhaled it. Portions were big enough that we had leftovers, which is always a win. Even though the place was busy, service was fast and friendly. The laid-back vibe made it a perfect post-ride lunch stop. We’ll definitely be back—next time we’ll come even hungrier!“

“Sushi roll was equivalent to a AYCE roll when you expect a bit more when it is $12. The server didn't seem too happy to be there. And for some reason half the soy sauces are empty. Not bad but not $30 for one drink and a roll.“

“noodles undercooked. meat was not desirable. almost seemed greasy by taste and appearance but maybe that’s from what makes it spicy. the waitress was attentive and food was quick. hopefully just an off night. it was pretty clean but have no intention on trying again.“
