“Nara Japanese Restaurant is a warm, easygoing Japanese eatery offering creative sushi rolls and sashimi plates plus ramen noodles. The venue hosts an extensive menu at prices that will make you smile. Nara Japanese Restaurant is an Asian-inspired and Japanese chain restaurant serving dishes over long communal tables. The staff are Japanese, and the atmosphere transports you to Asia. They serve a distinctive Japanese taste, a tasty 'umami' that often occurs in fermented foods. The sake menu has an excellent range of options. For example, Bonito fish is fermented into 'katsuobushi', which produces dashi-based stock in Japanese cooking, combined with umami-rich seaweed or konbu. They also have dine-in, takeout, and home delivery services that meet customers' preferences.

2025 Update: The restaurant has 2K satisfied customers and 100+ food menu items.”

Our family and friends are regular visitors at Sakura as the food is genuine to the Japanese cuisine - it never misses! Cheng always completes the atmosphere and ensures our requests are met. You can tell how hard he tries to accommodate all guests at the restaurant. We love to come here after Church on Sunday but also to celebrate birthdays!

Such an amazing restaurant! The sushi here is amazing, so fresh and lovely. The staff are super helpful and friendly and the food is so good! My friends and I like to get a bit of everything and share and there is nothing bad I can say about any of it! Would highly recommend coming here.

Amazing restaurant, the food was delicious and we were served very quickly. The booths are lovely and feel very private and the restaurant has a nice quiet atmosphere, doesn't feel too crowded or loud like other places. The staff are very friendly. I would definitely come back here again :)

Really lovely little restaurant in Southampton. The gyoza are awesome and come in 4 varieties. The sake menu has a nice range. The staff are Japanese and the atmosphere takes you away to Asia. Lots to choose from in the menu and the quality is superb. Informal but great fun. What a find.

Nara is a great place for Japanese food, An extensive menu at reasonable prices. The service is really fast so if you're off out afterwards you won't be late! The sushi and sashimi are really good. Nice, unpretentious decor and pleasant service. Love this place.

I dined at Nara whilst on a week-long business trip to Southampton and it was so amazing that I ate there twice. We got the signature Nara set which contained a bit of everything - sushi, mini unagi don, tempura, chicken and some sides. It was absolutely delcious and the prices are so reasonable. I wish there was a Nara where I live.
