"This was our first visit to Nara but definitely won’t be our last. We arrived on Friday evening around 5 pm and so it wasn’t too crowded. Perla was our waitress and she did a phenomenal job explaining how the all-you-can-eat works as well as answering any questions we had about the various rolls on the menu. The gyoza was some of the best we have had. The edamame was fresh. We ended up having three rolls (Lexie, Valentine, and Tokyo). All amazing! Our sashimi was fresh and delicious! Thank you for such a great first time experience! Thank you Perla for such awesome service!"

"A man sat us right next to a table with a busy baby, (very annoying having to listen to baby AI tik tok videos while trying to enjoy a lunch date) Especially when there was plenty of open seating available. The tables are small and the Paper napkin dispenser takes up a third of the space. Waitress was far from attentive, she walked by our table 4 times before I was able to flag her down for a refill. The place wasn't even busy. The edamame appetizer was huge, even though I had asked how small of portion and was told it was reassured it was small portion. The Valentine roll was SPICY!!! The Rainbow Roll was just Meh, I've had better. Loved the 1st Idaho Roll but the 2nd round one had too much cream cheese. Might try again."

"WHOA! So much better than I thought. Awesome environment. Really one of a kind vibe for Idaho. Jalapeño poppers were amazing. Tempura veggies were stellar. All three rolls we tried were fantastic. Will come back for sure."

"Thank goodness a good Asian Restaurant has now opened in Downtown Caldwell. I’m Filipina and we normally have to go to Meridian for good sushi. Our 1st time there today (Friday) for lunch arrived at 1pm. The All You Can Eat deal was reasonably priced and awesome. Please pay close attention to their hours of service. Kindly not destroy a new business reviews because they have to close in between lunch and dinner times. We had the Ninja & Zombie rolls and my husband had other dishes. Let’s just say we have a new regular “go to” place locally in downtown Caldwell when we are craving sushi & ramen. YaY!!! Location: where Amano used to be."

"Great service, great presentation. Need to sample more rolls to get a full flavor take, but for the ayce deal. You will have zero complaints.....the tempura shrimp appetizer was top tier great! Will be returning to sample more sushi rolls Only down side is the seating for parties of 2 tables are so small, it's hard to order multiple items and not feel cramped . The napkin dispenser is HUGE took up 1/4 of our tiny table. Server was great and very attentive."

"An all you can eat sushi that includes ramen that’s not across town and is worth the price, yessss please! This was our first visit to Nara and definitely won’t be our last. We arrived on a Wednesday around 6pm and it wasn’t too crowded or loud. Sushi was fresh and the sashimi was some of the best we’ve had! Not the norm (didn’t come with the rice on the bottom) but when asked they delivered The octopus was 10/10! We sat in one of the cubes which was super cute and abnormal but there wasn’t a back rest so it got a little uncomfortable after a bit. Overall a good experience."

"Great Atmosphere, GREAT service, decent prices, and the vegan options are good. As others have stated, if you want the all-you-can-eat option, everyone in your party must pay the $30 per person rate, but you get anything on the menu... Tip, go at lunchtime, I think it is only $22 per person for the AYCE option! As for the Vegan options. There are a few options on the menu, but they are super helpful and are willing to make it vegan for you so ask your server. We had veggie twmpura, sushi, Ramen, and chow mein, and it was all good. A bit heavy on the oil, but still delicious."
