Narita Sushi Bar

What the hell happened to this place?
How or why would you serve tuna that’s been frozen, defrosted, frozen burnt, defrosted again? The unagi was good but from my last visit around fall season of 2012 this place has gone downhill terribly. I have to pass on the nigiri here, the quality is downgraded/​passable.
I ordered what I thought would be guaranteed deliciousness in the Ocean Seaweed Salad and something safe in the Yellowtail Collar. I waited for the Yellowtail to defrost but it was safe and good. The Ocean Seaweed Salad was surrounded with salad greens and the brown dressing that I didn’t mind for. The seaweed was alright but the «Ocean toppings» of scallop, octopus, tuna was butt.
The same older lady came in as I was leaving that I have seen in the past and I want to assume it’s the owner so I don’t know how this place could have gotten bad as it was during my last visit.

Good food, nice service, and decent pricing.

Must have the Super Crab roll! It’s fantastic, it’s close to my work so I tend to get take out sushi at night. Prices are decent and staff is always friendly.

Sadly, the quality of the sushi has diminished. This WAS my favorite sushi place. The last two times, the sushi was nowhere near the former quality. Noticed a sign indicating open under new management. I guess I need to start looking for a new favorite sushi in the NW area.

Awful service, this time around! It would be good if our hostess just informed us that some of the rolls ordered weren’t available instead if making us wait with blank stares. The rolls are drenched in sauce that’s not flattering to the palate at all. Though its been a while since I was last here, it seems that they’ve lost their edge & not conscious of the fact that we’re here whilst everyone else in the restaurant is being served promptly. Very very upsetting.

I work close to this restaurant, so I was really hoping for awesome service. I mean, it’d be awesome if I had good sushi close to work, yeah? No.
I walked and in placed my order (deep fried California, eel roll, Japanese lasagna) and was told it’d be about 30 minutes before my food was ready. I said sure, though I didn’t understand why if only three tables had people. I returned 35 minutes later and was told the food was not done and would be a few more minutes. I was upset because I was kind of in a hurry, but decided to wait it out. 15 minutes later, out came my food. I asked the lady for extra ginger, and she said to me «No, you don’t. Thanks!» FOR REAL.
I took my order with me to work and decided I would judge based on the taste and quality of the food. I was pleased to find one of the containers had a ton of ginger, so that was good. That made me less unhappy. The food itself was mediocre at best, though the eel was good.
Sucky food, bad service, and $ 32? No, thanks.

Really not impressed!
We ordered 4 rolls and the orgasm tuna. Let’s say that not only did I not get an orgasm out of it, I had to suppress my gag reflex. The excessive mayonnaise completely ruined the tuna, and for $ 15.95 it was totally not worth the $. The 4 rolls range from $ 10.95−12.95 and they all had too much sauce to cover up the lack of quality of the fish used.
Pricey for the low quality food we received. Definitely not coming back again.

Sushi is my favorite thing on earth to eat (well…maybe it’s neck and neck with chocolate). They better have sushi in heaven or I’m not going. I’m not much for raw fish, but there are a million kinds of sushi that are not raw (trust me you sushi neophytes). So instead of sashimi I usually order rolls and Narita gives great rolls. My favorite is the Japanese Lasagna roll (doesn’t taste at all like lasagna). Their’s is the best I’ve found. I like the service. I think it’s run by the owners. The woman who usually waits on us is sweet. It’s a small place but clean and pleasant. I just haven’t had anything there that wasn’t excellent! P. S. I’ve had the same experience that another reviewer had with the tea cup «floating around the table». And it doesn’t seem to matter which table we sit at. Maybe the place is haunted! Probably with the ghosts of ancient sushi chefs!

Food was very dull. The fish was extremely salted and dry. If your trying to decide between this place or another. choose the other. Much better sushi down the street off Craig. Never going back again. –enough said

This is a small restaurant that appears to be run by the owners. My husband and I go there often and have always been treated well. The japanese lasagna roll they make is the best I’ve found here and in Southern California. My husband likes their tempura udon soup and claims the maguro tuna is fresh. This has become our ‘go to’ sushi place.

I drive over 40 minutes to enjoy the quality of fish they have. Howard, is always willing to make whatever roll you desire. I have yet to find another sushi place that even comes close to the quality and size of the rolls. I HIGHLY recommend the Narita Airport Roll. I continuously brag about this place and take several Narita newbies there; No one is ever disappointed.

I was surprised to find this place because I have frequented this area for many years and never knew this place existed! It was late and my friend and I were pinched for time so we turned to Unilocal to find a late night sushi place. Narita was open till 11:30 pm so it was the perfect place to chat over some sushi. I had a basic spicy crab roll. It was fresh and as good as others I’ve had. My friend ordered a crunchy roll but when it came out it wasn’t crunchy. The waitress noticed it right away so she had it fixed for us. I was glad that they caught the mistake instead of us having to point it out. I’d like to come back and try some of their other rolls because the food was tasty and they had good customer service.

I’ve been enjoying sushi since 1980 and Narita is my regular Sushi Bar here in Las Vegas. In a nutshell at Narita I get artfully and deliciously prepared sushi made with fresh, top quality fish, large portions at the lowest á la carte price in town. One of the best kept secrets in town if you’re a sushi lover!

I was not expecting too much as this little hole in the wall is located in a strip mall and the décor is out dated and the sushi bar area probably holds 8 to 10 people. I was pleasantly surprised by how good this was! It was my first time there so I just ordered the sushi lunch special with a spicy tuna roll. This includes miso soup, salad, 2 pieces of tuna, salmon and shrimp plus which ever roll you choose and was only $ 10.95. It was sooo good!!! Everything was super fresh! It was so good I am actually meeting someone there again tonight! Mmmmmm. SUSHI!

We had dinner here a couple of nights ago on the recommendation of my wife’s nurse.
I ordered Jasmine tea and spilled just a little bit on the table. I guess the table must have been slanted because when I set my tea cup down, it began to move around as if it was possessed. It was kind of scary/​amusing. :-)
We split three rolls: Spicy Spider, White Dragon, and one more that I can’t remember the name of that had eel, avocado, and tuna. They were all very good. My favorite was the White Dragon. My wife’s favorite was the Spicy Spider roll. The fish was fresh and seemed to be good quality.
For desert we split a green tea ice cream which was your typical green tea ice cream.
The waitress was very nice and seemed to be proud of the quality of the food.

Just went here for lunch with my boys and we were not impressed although there were some good things.
The tempura was pretty good and so was the Alaska roll and the salmon and yellow tail sushi and sushi mi, I also really enjoyed the yellow tail cheek. The spider roll was dry and the soft shell crab was way over cooked and had a slightly burnt taste.
The toro was gross really chewy and tasted like red meat ew! One of the boys (who doesn’t like sushi) got the chicken katsu and it was dry with a yucky dipping sauce.
All up it was $ 88 before tip, way to expensive for what we got and then we had to go to Wendy’s to feed the non sushi lover!

The Skinny: generic, unauthentic sushi (1) with tired décor and service (1).
This little «sushi» bar is located across the street from Mountainview hospital. We’d read so many positive reviews of this place that we were eager to check it out.
My husband got there earlier than I did and got a table during lunchtime. As soon as I arrived, he gave me an uncertain look like maybe we ought to vamoose this popsicle joint. Yes, it was that scary.
Really, it’s not a sushi bar in the true Japanese sense of the word. It’s a travesty to say that this place is a sushi bar. I mean, it tries to be cute with the little dirty flower taped pens on the table (yeah — yuck!). The décor definitely meets the hole in the wall criteria with it’s dingy lighting, and a sad looking «sushi bar» area that was (when we arrived) half occupied by empty paper boxes. I ordered a diet coke which came in a large plastic glass which the hostess refilled with another large plastic glass (classy!).
But hey, give us points for sticking this place out. We wanted to give this place the benefit of the doubt. We probably should have listened to our better instincts.
On to the food. The fish is not that fresh — the texture is mushy suggesting the salmon was frozen or not stored properly. Sushi was poorly wrapped — overly loose, actually, making it difficult to eat. Tempura was hard and probably throwing it at someone could get you arrested for manslaughter. Miso soup was like the pre-​packaged dehydrated stuff you can get at the supermarket.
Given the plethora of great Japanese restaurants in the city, give this one a pass.

This is my favorite sushi bar in Las Vegas. The price is reasonable for sushi and is very fresh. This is a hole in the wall sushi bar. I go here at least once a week, but average about 4 to 5 times a month.
Pros: The cuts of fish are the thick on all the rolls. It usually takes about two bites to eat one piece. My favorite rolls are the Johnny roll (see pic) and the Narita Airport. I also recommend the Poke Salad (ahi tuna) Service is friendly. Everything I’ve had here has been very good.
Cons: Some of the tables are small and have a glass counter. When you get get a drink, you need to keep an eye on your glass, cause they sometimes slide. They don’t take amex.

This was a family favorite for years. My first ever mochi ice cream was here and the first time my dad learned that putting the entire blob of wasabi in your mouth was not a good idea.
I’ve always loved the quiet family feel of this place. The tables are cozy and the waitresses are extremely friendly. I feel like I am back at my best friend’s Japanese home, eating rice and lettuce, and whatever other things, maybe less identifiable, that her grandma has thrust at me.
The best deal here is the bento box. Stacks of California rolls, beef or chicken teriyaki (I’m partial to beef myself), and shrimp and veggie tempura. It is extremely reasonably priced and you’ll have plenty left over for lunch the next day in the days when you’re trying to stretch your meals out a bit.
It isn’t the place for a very serious date. It’s quiet and in the Target shopping plaza, so you’re not looking for fancy here. I think what I love the most about this place is its simplicity. Vegas is full of sushi places trying to top one another in overtly sexual names (including tastes like your ex-girlfriend…SERIOUSLY? NOT A NAME TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH SUSHI), over stacked rolls with extremely complex ingredients and combinations.
This will always be my first and last sushi stop when in Vegas. It feels like home.

I love this place! My boyfriend and I needed to find a good sushi place in Las Vegas NOT on the Strip. My favorite is the Tiger Roll which includes shrimp tempura wrapped in rice and seaweed, then topped with spicy tuna and avocado. And it is huge! We can never eat more than three rolls in one sitting. Narita is also very reasonably priced, and we are usually always disappointed when we go anywhere else.
I usually go around 4 or 5 so it is never very busy and service isn’t bad, plus you get complimentary miso soup.
