We were looking for a place to eat after 9 o'clock on a Saturday night and decided to try Bedford Place. I had heard great things about Nara, so I was happy to secure a table. My friend and I both ordered the Bento boxes, which were fantastic. We opted for the chicken katsu with curry sauce (served on the side) and requested to swap out the sushi rolls. The chicken was tender and flavorful, cooked with the skin on. Our other friend ordered noodles and also enjoyed their meal. We will definitely be returning to Nara in the future.
I was looking for a new Japanese restaurant and found one that had transformed into a Chinese restaurant. Luckily, Nara was just a short walk away. During lunchtime, there was only one other table occupied by three young women. I had some delicious sushi and especially enjoyed the pickles, which many Japanese restaurants in the UK don't seem to offer. Definitely worth a visit.
The service was great, but the food was really disappointing, so I can only give one star. I ordered the chicken fried ramen. Both the rice and noodle main dishes were bland and tasteless, tasting like they were just heated in the microwave. Even adding a lot of soy sauce didn’t help at all. The fried chicken cutlet was also completely unseasoned.
good Japanese cuisine and would highly recommend it. I still give a 5 stars for the quality of eating. However, my expectations were quite high, as with my previous visit I was in sakura, which was brilliant and I had a lot of options. try them both. both are good in their own right.

Food Great, I love sushi and I was not disappointed. Very fresh and well presented. Atmosphere not so great. No background music, everyone around can hear clearly the whole conversation at your table. Even some relaxation music/sounds (e.g. birds songs and sound of water) would help.
The restaurant has a lovely ambiance, the food was amazing, and the staff were all very friendly. I ordered the maki sushi set and my partner had the salmon teriyaki bento box, both were delicious. They also offer a discount for NHS workers! We will definitely be returning soon.
We ordered the family sushi set to take away with the Chuka Wakame Seaweed Salad as an extra. Amazing value and fabulous quality, great selection of fish which was all very tasty. All clearly made fresh to order, it was on time ready for collection and very well presented too!
a hidden gem in bedford. excellent eating and fantastic Japanese decoration inside. many Veggie options available. reasonable price. they would be highly recommended!
