Nara is a casual Lower Haight sushi restaurant with a large dining room suited to spur-of-the-moment group get-togethers. The menu features daily nigiri specials and mainstay rolls, including seared butterfish options. A highlighted roll, the Sake Bomb, combines raw and seared salmon with crunchy potato bits. The nigiri selection ranges from scallop and otoro to yellowtail amberjack specials, encouraging ordering multiple platters. A daily happy hour offers deals on hand rolls, oysters, and sake. The Special “K” roll is dominated by truffle flavor; the pickled jalapeño does little to balance it, so skipping it is advised.
Nara (not to be confused with the previously affiliated Nara on Polk) is a Lower Haight staple for casual sushi dinners. The dining room is big enough to double as a roller skating rink, so it's also a great choice for spur-of-the-moment group get-togethers. Dishes like daily nigiri specials and mainstay rolls topped with seared butterfish get the job done, especially if you're in the area and urgently need fish and rice.
As a bonus, they also have a daily happy hour with deals on hand rolls, oysters, and sake. Sake Bomb Our favorite roll on the menu. It's got a double whammy of raw and seared salmon, plus a generous sprinkle of crunchy potato bits. Nigiri There's a range of nigiri options, from scallop and otoro to specials like yellowtail amberjack. We'd come here, fill up on a few platters of these, and leave happy.
