Cute sushi spot in Lower Haight. We walked in on a Saturday night and the restaurant was surprisingly empty. Their fish was pretty fresh; we shared some rolls and nigiri. Our server explained that the nigiri was already seasoned, which I thought was nice. My favorite was the sweet shrimp; they deep fry the shrimp heads so you can eat them as well. I was also pleasantly surprised by the tako balls -- would recommend!

Pretty cool sushi spot. Parking can be an issue, but worth it overall. Quality sushi at a fair price as well as good service. Menu isn't super extensive, but what they have is great. If you want good vibes and sushi in SF, this spot does it.

Atmosphere- 98% - sparkling glass, flickering light, oasis Service - 95% - attentive, well paced Food - 93% - fresh fish, many standout items, tuna tacos! Very fresh fish and ambiance for dayzzzz! From large groups to tables for two, Nara is a solid dining spot in the lower Haight. Featuring a large dining room with lots of dark wood, sparkling glass and flickering light, it's at once expansive yet intimate. Service was attentive but didn't mention we were 10 minutes from Happy Hour ending until I asked. I quickly chose (2) tuna tacos (so fresh with three or more tablespoons of chopped tuna topped with greens, HH $4.50 each), fried calamari (HH $12, excellent) and Mr. Tako Ball (HH $11, four very generous pieces topped with salty bonito flakes). My son devoured most of the appetizers having swum countless lengths in the pool for two hours. The only sound he made for 10 minutes was "Mmm!" I was less thrilled with the rolls. The Special K ($20) topped with seared butterfish didn't have an umami grilled taste, it just tasted dry and flavorless and obscured the hamachi underneath. It was also missing the truffle ponzu sauce that would've given a heavenly taste it needed. I didn't realize until later the truffle ponzu oil was missing until I reflected on dinner then looked at the photos. The anemic, barely pickled jalapeño strip didn't unite flavors or spark taste buds. The standout roll was the Red Dragon roll ($17) that impressed with shrimp tempura and lots of fresh, spicy tuna with tobiko and unagi sauce and crunchy cucumber. The tastes and textures were perfect. The Loco Spider-Man Roll ($18) left me frustrated that it (predictably, it was rolled so loosely) fell apart in a mess on my plate. I wouldn't order it again. Chirashi ($40) was good but underneath the bigger pieces were small diced bits of tuna, halibut, avocado that were difficult to grasp with the tips of my chopsticks. The fish was fresh; I would've preferred slices of sashimi. Service was delightful and kept the pace with a smile. In all, a choice experience but needs a push at the sushi bar to fully execute details, refine two of the rolls.
