Nara Sushi & Hibachi Steakhouse

We normally have our holiday party at Kyoto’s in Royal Oak, but since we moved our office to 12 Northwestern back in June, a coworker suggested Nara Hibachi & Steakhouse in West Bloomfield—and wow, what a great call. This place was absolutely amazing from start to finish. The service was top-notch. Bobbi, who took care of our table, was phenomenal. Anyone who’s been to a large party knows there’s usually an automatic gratuity, and sometimes that can affect the level of service—but not here. Bobbi was on point the entire night, constantly checking in, keeping our glasses full, and staying on top of all our drink orders. She truly went above and beyond. The hibachi chefs were just as impressive—super entertaining and clearly great at what they do. The food was delicious, and the portions were huge. Honestly, compared to Kyoto’s, the portions here were hands down bigger. The atmosphere was fantastic, and we also learned about some great specials: half-off sushi at the bar on Tuesdays and half-off hibachi at the bar on Thursdays. I already know I’ll be back for both. I’ve already told at least five people how amazing this place is, and we’ve officially decided this will be our go-to spot for our holiday party next year. Nara knocked it out of the park—highly recommend!

This restaurant serves great food, but the atmosphere can feel quite hot, which takes away a bit from the overall comfort. The service is decent and satisfactory, with no major complaints. One of the highlights of the experience is the music, which is amazing and really adds to the vibe. Despite the warm atmosphere, the quality of the food and the great music make it an enjoyable place to visit.

This is a very nice place that you should try at least once. The atmosphere was fun and exciting. There were so many birthday parties here, and I like the way they come out with the sparklers and music to do the birthday celebration! i would suggest inviting about ten of your friends so you all can have your own hibachi table, otherwise you are sitting with strangers, but it's great to make new friends if you are that type of person
