Nara Restaurant

NaRa has some of the best sushi I've ever had. I ordered their Alpine roll, the jalapeños added a perfect spiciness and crunchiness. My mother ordered the Spider roll, and the shrimp in it REALLY pulled the roll together deliciously. Frankly, I'm not even a big sushi fan. But the crunchiness makes it so perfect. We had excellent service from our hostess, and if you're looking for good sushi and gyoza then this is the place for you. ♡ Although, for some reason on Friday their kitchen meals were shut down. No problemo for us though, we still left happy!

The staff is always very kind. I usually go here in the evenings and there's usually been a 10-15 minute wait. There is a sushi bar, but I think you still have to be seated at it since I've walked up to it on my own and sat 5+ minutes without being acknowledged, until I went and got someone. I'd also say that part of the wait time has been due to tables not being cleaned off for 5+ minutes after customers left. It's not like the staff was standing around chit-chatting though, just very busy. The rolls are more expensive than a lot of other places but they are the best I've had not just in billings but many places in California. I definately love coming here when I feel like spending a bit more, it's worth it.

First NaRa was understaffed, which is the norm for restaurants in 2022 - so they were only serving part of the menu. Second, their menu has pivoted towards very American deep fried rolls filled with jalapenos and covered in siracha, which is disappointing. So, coupled with slow service, only serving part of their menu, and forgetting my five year old's order ...

We must have stopped by on the wrong night. 2 young ladies working the front of the house were working their buts off. It seemed like they had no clue what they were doing other than just surving the night. We got there at 7 and it took about an hour to get our order taken while tables that came in after us were taken care of. When I ask for a water I was told they were wiring on clean up after 30 minutes the miso soup arrived. I ask for spoon and had to wait so the could get some clean ones. I was disappointed in the service and felt bad for the 2 working the font of the house. I hope they survived the night. Once thr rolls got there they were amazing.

Best sushi in Billings Montana. Friendly hostesses that are always smiling and take good care of everyone. The sushi chefs are amazing and what they make is art it's almost a shame to eat it. If you want good sushi in Montana this is the place to go. Prices are good for what you get. Haven't tried the sake but I'm told it's good.
