Discover Sushi Naru in Gading Serpong, a chill Japanese spot with an amazing twist. Enjoy delicious sushi starting at just 20k and comforting dishes like their signature Baked Rice. The best part? A whole wall of free manga to read while you wait! It's the perfect affordable hangout for manga lovers and foodies alike, offering a cozy atmosphere and great deals like unlimited Ocha refills and frequent promos. This spot is a must-try for a budget-friendly meal.
In the fiercely competitive food scene of Gading Serpong, Tangerang, finding a delicious and affordable Japanese restaurant is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Until I scrolled upon this place, Sushi Naru, with nearly 2000 reviews and a high rating of 4.8 on Google. I thought it was another overpriced influencer trap, but then I saw the menu, Anjay! The sushi is only 20k for a portion? I just had to go check it out!
Manga and Sushi, What a Killer Combo
The place isn't big, but it's clean and bright, playing very soothing Japanese songs. It's totally the kind of vibe where you can properly Nongkrong and chat. What surprised me the most was, they actually have a whole wall of Japanese manga[1]! While waiting for the food, I casually picked up a copy of "Slam Dunk," and the nostalgia hit me instantly! Isn't that way more interesting than just mindlessly scrolling on your phone?
Basically none of the dishes were a letdown. You have to order their signature Baked Rice[2], warm rice covered with a generous layer of melted cheese. One bite and it's just so Mantap! For sushi, I tried the Frenzy California Roll[3]; it was crispy on the outside and had a really rich texture. The friend I was with ordered the Beef Udon[4] and said the broth was very comforting, perfect for the recent rainy weather.
Let's be real…
The taste and atmosphere are both five-star worthy, but to be fair, the portions aren't exactly huge[5]. Especially the baked rice and sushi, for a big eater like me, I'd probably need to order a few more dishes to feel full. If you're a guy, I'd suggest just ordering everything you want to eat, since the prices are affordable anyway.
