We wanted sushi from somewhere new to us before getting on the road. NaRa was the BEST choice we could have ever made! Friendliest and knowledgeable staff, peaceful atmosphere, and OUTSTANDING food! When we return, it's going to be tough to not order the same things. Poke Nachos are the greatest thing ever, Coconut Shrimp Roll could be a dessert, and the Nacho Roll broke my brain

Nara exceeded our high expectations, by a lot. My boyfriend is a head chef at a well known establishment in Billings, and it’s nearly impossible to get any excitement or interest out of him (about the food) when we go out to eat — he was over the moon about our meal at Nara. Our waitress was super friendly, knowledgable with wonderful recommendations, and personable — all while training a new staff member. She took the time to make us feel welcomed and informed, never rushed, and genuinely comfortable! The food was spectacular. If you’re able to try the poke nachos, you will not be disappointed. My boyfriend’s roll had lobster tempura on top — buttery, crispy, fried, I didn’t even know this stuff existed. And my roll has hot cheeto crumbs?!? Spectacular! It blows all other sushi spots in town out of the water. We’re lucky to have this hidden gem here in Billings! I can’t wait to go back! Thank you to the staff for an incredible experience! We’ll be coming in again very soon!

Nara Restaurant is an absolute treasure in Billings! Regarded as the best sushi in the area, their authentic sushi is a must-try. Each roll is fresh and beautifully presented, showcasing the incredible skill of the chefs. The service is exceptional; the staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the food they serve. Despite being a small building with limited seating, this “hole in the wall” has a cozy charm that makes it feel special. It’s the kind of place you want to keep returning to, whether for a casual meal or a special occasion. Don’t miss out on this local gem!

Best sushi around hands down. Poke nachos, a must-have. The staff make you feel at home, the atmosphere inside is great, and the food is on an epic level. No matter what I say, words will not do the Nara staff or the food justice. Every time I have been in Nara, the friendly professionalism has been beyond amazing. If you're eating anywhere else, simply put your missing out. Come on....just look how amazing this plating looks.
