Nara Cafe

Amazingly good poke bowl. Price great. Had to dig in before I took the picture, it WAS beautiful and delicious. Went back. Still amazing.

Have you tried Hibachi fried rice with general tso's chicken? It was perfect! I want to come back and try the bubble tea sometime. It is nice and open inside with some seating but not all crowded together. Lots of people were coming in for takeouts. Don't be afraid to come here even if you don't like seafood. ☺️

My husband and I decided to go here for date night. We ordered the “all you could eat”. You are given a menu to select what you want and it is made to order. The service was exceptional and staff was very nice.

As far as the food, we really enjoyed the shrimp tempura roll, California roll, dragon roll, pork dumplings, and general tso chicken. The egg roll, spring roll, and hibachi rice was okay, nothing special. We did not like the crab Rangoon.

The biggest complain was having to pay for bottle water. We would have preferred just tap water.

Delicious food!
I went with my daughter for lunch on a Friday to try out the all you can eat sushi and dumplings option.
The place was simple but cozy and welcoming. It actually made us both think of a country coffee bar in Italy (happy memories). The service was polite and friendly.
Food was wonderful. Everything was freshly made, you could see them making the sushi and crab Rangoon. The General Tso's chicken was the best I've had - crunchy, spicy but not too spicy, and with a wonderful flavor. Crab Rangoon was fantastic! The sushi was excellent and fresh. The seashore roll had great texture and flavor - and a super spicy afterburn (the after heat was a little much for us, but the flavor was so good). The only food that "fell" to the level of "just" good were the pork dumplings.
Because the food was made as we ordered, service took a while. But the wait was very worth it! Not sure how they'd keep up on a busy day.
A few small quibbles, service was on Styrofoam plates - nice ones, but still styrofoam. Water as a beverage was only available as bottled water at a cost.
But given the quality of the food, the friendly service and pleasant atmosphere, those are only small things.
A bit more than I'd typically pay for lunch, but we'll worth it. We'll be back for a special occasion.

My husband and I have eaten here twice and we love it. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxing and the food is amazing! The owners are super friendly and passionate about there food. You can tell by how beautiful each dish is presented. It’s also convenient since it’s on Main Street Ephrata and easy to walk to! We look forward to making it our favorite place to eat! Please give them a try while your in town! 😁
