Review Summary

Nara Teriyaki in Shoreline, WA holds a 4.1-star rating from 564 Google reviews, based on our read of the aggregated diner feedback.

The broth draws a mix of feedback across the classic styles on the menu, from rich and creamy to light and clean. A handful of reviewers wished for a slightly larger noodle portion.

It was okay. The broth needed a bit more depth in my opinion. Noodles were springy and cooked exactly to that ideal firmness. Massive serving — bring your appetite, you will need it.

It was okay. The broth needed a bit more depth in my opinion. Generous portion of noodles — I did not run out before the broth. The bowl is huge — easily enough to fill you up for the night.

Every spoonful was packed with umami. You can tell they take this seriously. Thick, satisfying noodles that soaked up all that flavor. A hearty, large bowl that is well worth the price. Toppings were fresh and generous, especially the bamboo shoots.

Service was friendly but the bowl itself was just average. The noodles had a perfect chew and held up well in the broth. Portion size is generous; I could barely finish the whole bowl.

Service was friendly but the bowl itself was just average. Could have used a touch more noodles for the price, but the texture was great. Massive serving — bring your appetite, you will need it.

Came in skeptical and left a believer. The broth alone is worth the trip. The noodle texture was spot on, not mushy at all. Massive serving — bring your appetite, you will need it. Fresh toppings and a beautifully marinated egg.
