Egg rolls, sushi, bulgogi, great service, great environment, great food. Top notch! They also have a patio. I forgot to mention the free pineapple boat for dessert. Amazing!!!

In the area for work and found this gem not far from where I was staying. I've eaten here twice already and I'm only here for a week. The sushi is fresh and delicious, after 15 years of enjoying Los Angeles sushi, I'm fairly picky. The albacore nigiri and especially the 911 roll were my favorites. But the main reason I'm writing this review is because the people working there were so sweet and friendly. Both times I have come I have noticed how friendly all of the servers (and maybe the owner? Not sure) were. Each person I interacted with seemed genuinely happy to be there and to have me there as a guest. I didn't receive any special treatment or anything- they just seemed like such sincerely nice people who were serving delicious food and grateful for all their customers. Will definitely come back if I'm ever in the area again.

Middle of the road sushi. Hit up this place as I wanted sushi and decided to branch out from my regular place. I visited in person, dining w a friend. We ordered a few special rolls and a hibachi fish dish. Service was great. They were nice and pretty attentive. 4 stars here. Food was just ok. I ordered the "special rolls", which are more expensive, but usually better. They were just very ok. I was a bit disappointed. The fish dish was good not great, but better than the sushi. 3 stars in this category. After our meal, the server brought out some fresh pineapple as a dessert - free of charge!! 5 stars!! It's an ok place, but won't become my favorite sushi place in the area. I'd go back w friends if they chose it beforehand.

Fantastic sushi and really cute plating! We loved every bit of our meal and the service was fast. If we're ever in town again we'll definitely come back!

I loved the food here! It was nice and relaxing. The server gave us pineapple right after we paid and it was exactly what I needed.

This is a great little restaurant. The decor is so nice and the service is great. I dined here twice, both on a Saturday. I didn't wait for a table either day! Service was fast and the food was delicious! I wasn't too fond of the drinks. But the food was excellent. Will def be back

My wife and I tried Naru for the first time - it was her birthday and she wanted sushi, so we headed to Naru. We were greeted and seated promptly and were waited on very soon after being seated. We ordered our drinks and after they arrived, our server took our order, after giving us some recommendations on the sushi. We had the shrimp tempura and edamame appetizers and they were delicious. We ordered three different sushi rolls (cooked and raw) and they came shortly after we finished the appetizers. The sushi ingredients tasted very fresh and all were delicious. They brought my wife a piece of fried cheesecake presented beautifully on a plate, because it was her birthday. We really enjoyed our time at Naru and will likely be back! Highly recommend!

Naru has a very friendly service! Their restaurant appears to be clean and comfortable. It has become our favorite sushi spot in Desoto County. They offer buy one get one half off for their special rolls. They also bring you a complimentary dessert after your meal!

Love this place ! Great food , fast service and an awesome patio for dining ! They always give a pineapple float for dessert

This place is a hidden gem in Southaven! The food is fresh and definitely cooked to order. It was a date night for hubby and I, so we went to our favorite little cozy Japanese restaurant. Service is always on point! Hostess seated us quickly upon arrival. We ordered the calamari as an appetizer. It was different from what I am accustomed to, but was good. It came out looking like onion rings with hoisin glaze on top with a slightly spicy sauce on the side. I ordered the Veggie Udon Hibachi which was very flavorful. However, the texture of the Udon noodle was a bit to thick for my liking. Will ask for a different type of noodle the next time we visit. The husband ordered the Hibachi Steak and Chicken. He said it was excellent. To top it off they give complimentary pineapple at the end of the meal. Best tasting pineapple this side of the MS. This place is awesome!!!! To the HANGRY (hungry &angry) PEOPLE....Now there was a little bit of a wait for our food, but it was worth it. Please be patient and courteous to the staff if you decide to visit.
