    My wife wanted sushi and Naru was very highly rated so we gave it a try We had a reservation so we were quickly seated by the ocean with great views of the sunset. My wife really enjoyed the sushi while I had the Jamaican jerk grouper. Excellent! The interior is very welcoming and makes you feel very relaxed.

    The best restaurant we've been to in Barbados! Everything to perfection! Excellent food. Impeccable service, well priced and with the sound of the waves adding to the ambience, it was the perfect evening. Thank you Naru!

    Service was top notch which was surprising considering there were only two waiters! They did fantastic. Sushi was out of this world. On par with the best I have ever had. Add ambiance and presentation it was a great dining experience. Highly recommend. UPDATE: July 6, 2021. Itโ€™s been over six months since here and have to say that the sushi is still top notch. Service however took a big hit. Super slow and inattentive. Again only 2 waiters but could really show this time. Even to the point of ordering only 1 drink because it took 30 min to get the first one. I took a star away and will be back again hoping it was an โ€œoff nightโ€. Recommendation to mgmt: get more waiters. Two is simply not enough.

    As a vegan, this place has numerous options. I tried the fried rice with mock duck and it was amazing! Plus, the service is really good and the staff are friendly and attentive. Also, the restaurant is really on the beach so you see the sand and waves and it's a nice view. Just great!

    The food was delicious, and our server was such a nice guy! Itโ€™s a beautiful setting and the food is inventive and tasty, and the restaurant cares about the quality of the food. Awesome! Recommend the Mongolian beef dumplings, spicy margarita, all of the sushi we had was great, and of course, a good old rum and coke is hard to beat. We left having had a really lovely time and will remember it for a long time - thank you, Naru!

    If I could half a star I would have gone 4.5 stars. My wife and I went here for dinner while travelling from Canada. It was the best sushi weโ€™d ever had. Hands down. Atmosphere was excellent too. My only complaint, and itโ€™s a small one at that, is that we had several (4) different waiters asking us for our drink orders causing a bit of confusion.

    Weโ€™ve always enjoyed our dinners at Naru. The service is extremely friendly and the food is tasty. Since the restaurant is quite spacious theyโ€™re able to accommodate larger groups which is nice.

    Awesome food and service. I enjoy each visit. Tonight I received the wrong drink order and it was soon replaced with my real drink. Both tasted awesome though.

    Beautiful location right on the boardwalk to enjoy the south coast beach views. The fare ranged from fairly traditional Asian to imaginative fusion dishes like their homage to souse using crispy pork belly. We'll definitely go again to try more from their interesting expansive menu.

  • 5/5 Narelle M. 4 years ago on Google
    About to indulge in a long time craving... Upbeat, but subtle music, sea breeze, warm lighting.. chill, or romantic up to you, seating inside or outside. And semi outside.. Sushi bar, and great company! Fave sushi spot in Bim!

  • 5/5 Fay S. 3 years ago on Google

    Had a takeaway bento box and I loved it! Service while making the order and when I went to pick up, was very professional and pleasant. Will definitely be going again but to sit down to dinner.

  • 5/5 Raquel 5 years ago on Google
    Great food and vibe here. I was impressed with how well the staff handled our party of 20+ persons. We didnโ€™t wait long for the food. Everyoneโ€™s dishes arrived at the same time. And we all got separate checks! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ

    Food was gorgeous

  • 3/5 Nichelle T. 4 years ago on Google
    We waited 1 hour and 15 minutes for 1 soup appetizer and 1 hour and 45 minutes for two entrees. It wouldn't have been so bad if we were not starving when we arrived here. The soup could have done well with a bit of salt and less sugar. We asked for the fried rice to have minimal to no oil and it was very greasy. They took responsibility for that and I definitely would not hold it against them. The seared yellow fin tuna was perfect...no complaints. I would have loved to give this restaurant a 5 star rating but the wait was just unbearable. It was also disappointing to see other persons that came in after us being served before us.

    Food is of the same standard since I last visited. The staff is great and made my sister's day for her birthday but they may need more staff for more attention to details when it comes to customers. .

  • 5/5 Deniz K. 3 years ago on Google
    Really nice place by the sea. The menu is rich and prices are considered reasonable. I tried sushi. It was delicious. Service was fast enough, but staff were not friendly. I think they were a little tired.

    I love it.

  • 1/5 Ire A. 4 years ago on Google
    The service at this place was abysmal. The waiter we had was incredibly rude to us on several occasions for no reason. So much so that we had to speak to the manager and have him apologise for his behaviour, which he did begrudgingly. The food was pretty average, but I would definitely not visit again purely based on the awful service.

  • 5/5 Afrodite A. 4 years ago on Google
    Highly recommended!!! Amazing taste, hi quality of ingredients, and best service. All pro's!!

  • 3/5 Nikita P. 4 years ago on Google
    This is a Japanese-themed restaurant, not a Japanese restaurant. The food is decent but prices are certainly more reflective of the view that you get (which is very nice) than the food being outstanding. The first question we got after sitting down to eat with my partner was whether or not we were brothers, which seemed pretty inappropriate.

  • 1/5 Jessica 4 years ago on Google
    The staff is super friendly but this place is EXTREMELY over priced. The sushi is all mostly vegetable sushi and 20 US dollars and up for one sushi roll. Itโ€™s quite outrageous. I ordered a salad that was extremely tiny. I kid you not, I got a half of a grape tomato on my salad along with the lettuce etc. but seriously? The portions are so tiny and the meals are 20 US Dollars and up for those as well. Would not recommend unless you want to spend hundreds of dollars and leave hungry.

  • 4/5 E. V. 4 years ago on Google
    Friendly staff, over looking the ocean, and large menu. They had a summer special that was $88 BBD/44 USD which included an appetizer, entree and dessert. We ordered one prefix menu with Caliente sushi roll, jerked fish of the day (red snapper), and fried custard with vanilla ice cream for dessert and the single pork chop entree. We also got 2 drinks and ended up paying $200 BBD/100 USD which included 17.5% vat and 10% service charge. 4 stars because timing of courses could have been better and drinks took a very long time to come out.

  • 3/5 Alison B. 4 years ago on Google
    The service was extremely lacklustre, the food was was average, items ordered took very very long to arrive.

  • 5/5 Raika M. 4 years ago on Google
    Good food, top staff.

  • 4/5 Shirvana R. 4 years ago on Google
    The ambience of this place is nice. The best seating is on the shoreline as the other areas maybe hot depending on where you get placed. There was an entire vegan me u which the vegan sushi was good. The noodles mock duck dish was very filling as well. There were a mixed croud of tourists, families, and couples. I would recommend this place. The lamb was delicious.

  • 3/5 Steve Y. 4 years ago on Google
    If youโ€™re coming from a place like NYC, donโ€™t expect the same quality sushi that youโ€™re used to. Overall however the food is not bad with nice views. Drinks take about 30 minutes and am barely have alcohol food takes another hour. Very pricey!! 3 starts for not bad food and views. Doubt would come back here.

  • 5/5 Abi N. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Amanda Faye C. 5 years ago on Google
    When I was told I was going to be treated to an asian dinner, I wasn't sure this was the evening experience that I truly wanted! I was jet-lagged and really would have preferred to go straight to bed. But boy did that sentiment change!! I was so pleasantly surprised by the professional deportment of the staff and those fine gentlemen who waited on our table! Indeed EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM were exceptional! And so our night was made: copious food and drink. I enjoyed the very best lamb meal ever and was served one of the best pink moscato I think on the Bajan market! This was stellar! The universe has a funny way of teaching us that we don't always know what we need at a particular moment! We came in on the night there was a live performance by a superbly talented trio! Great music (Saxaphone, Piano, fantastic vocals) wine and food! Perfect indeed and simply what I needed to unwind!

  • 1/5 henry A. 5 years ago on Google
    We got there and it took them 45 minutes to sit us down, after we got our table, we ordered a maki roll (the rooster) which the server recommended, one fried rice, one order of noodles and chicken wings because we were very hungry. I also ordered a drink from the bar. 50 minutes passed and nothing, not the drink not the appetizers nothing. I asked one of the servers what was going on and no one knew anything, after almost 1 hour and 20 minutes we got our chicken wings. Once again i asked what had happened with my drink? 15 minutes later they show up with a drink that i could tell was sitting there for an hour. Of course i sent it back, after that we had to wait another 15 minutes for our plates. While eating our food i asked what had happened with my Sushi roll, my server asked me what roll did you order again? Of course I told him not to bring anything and to get me the check. That was my experience. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

  • 3/5 Jamal R. 5 years ago on Google
    I had an 8 o'clock reservation and was seated at 8:45pm and was served at 9:45pm. The reason why its not 1 star was because I went to there a couple times and never had any issues. Food was good and the drink was very good.

  • 5/5 Paul B. 5 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Jessica R. 5 years ago on Google
    Excellent location and meal. Very impressed with the service and overall experience at Naru. The waiters were really friendly and we were well attended to. The courses and dishes were served with a perfect amount of time between them. The menu is extensive and varied for both food and cocktails and we struggled to decide! All of the food and drink was beautifully presented and tasted great. Would definitely return and recommend.

    Just went for dinner with my family all the food we had was excellent and service was top notch. The wings i had as an appetizer were so full of flavor and the sushi was better than most of the sushi I've ever had.

  • 5/5 mi m. 2 years ago on Google
    This is the place if you want to dine fine in Barbados. Food cooked to perfection and exquisite standards of presentation. Make sure you reserve your table because it is always busy. Right on the beach.

  • 5/5 Ishanti C. 1 year ago on Google
    Very friendly staff, amazing food with very filling portion sizes. The best sushi on the island. Want to relax and enjoy the beach view? You must try Naru!!

  • 4/5 Michelle D. 1 year ago on Google
    This restaurant on the beach is right off the boardwalk. Reservations are needed, and I suggest you book a day or two in advance. Great atmosphere and food. Service was a bit slow, but the view makes up for itm

  • 5/5 Ghislaine N. 8 months ago on Google
    I had a table by the sea and it was really beautiful. The look of the restaurant is chic and makes you feel like a fancy person, but for really affordable prices. The sushi were really good!! The menu offers a lot of variety. A+ for the ambiance, A+ for the service (really professional and polite people)!

  • 5/5 Vicente Frare Pulp & Amora L. 11 months ago on Google
    Best service in the island! Highly reccommended. The rice for the nigiri was a bit hard, but tasted good anyway. Had the seared local tuna and loved it. Booked a table at the terrace for sunset and had a dinner of a lifetime!

  • 5/5 Amina 3 months ago on Google New
    Had a lovely meal here tonight. Not our first time to the island but our first time here. The only thing Iโ€™d score them down on is the cheap alcohol. The cocktails were sweet and syrupy and had no kick. The wine selection was also poor quality wine for high prices. Our server was sweet went out of his way to do a good job. Definitely would come back again.
