There's a public parking lot a one-minute walk from the restaurant, so parking was easy! (Paid parking.)

What are the atmosphere and seating like?

Before going in, the small fish tank at the entrance was the first thing that caught my eye. The restaurant manages the tank itself, which gives it a proper sushi-specialist feel.

Inside it felt cozy and neatly kept, with the cute, small-scale charm of a Japanese sushi shop, and overall a comfortable place to eat. It's not flashy or overwhelming, so it works for friends or a date, and it also looked fine for eating sushi alone!

Seating is bar seats in front of the kitchen, where you can watch the sushi being made, plus regular tables. The bar seems great for solo dining, and I liked that a group can sit at a table and eat comfortably 👍

There are also disposable aprons on one side of Sushi Naru, so you can eat without getting anything on your clothes, and the store has its own Wi-Fi that you connect to with a QR code 👍

What's on the menu at Sushi Naru Yeongdae Hospital Main Branch?

The signature menu is assorted sushi, premium sushi and special sushi. The assorted set is the basic lineup, a balanced taste of flounder, salmon, shrimp, egg and more, while the premium and special sets add more variety like eel, beef, scallop and uni, so you can choose by taste. Beyond sushi, there are rice bowls like sake-don (salmon rice bowl) for salmon lovers and hoedeopbap (raw fish rice bowl), so just pick what suits you!

The fish is cut to order, so it takes a little time

We ordered the special sushi and the flounder sushi at Sushi Naru Yeongdae Hospital Main Branch. A note said it takes a little time because the fish is cut and prepared the moment an order comes in, for fresh, tasty food. You could feel the owner really cares about the cooking, and I'm happy to wait a bit for tastier food 😊

Udon and salad served as standard

After a short wait, udon and salad came out first, before the sushi. It's not just sushi: you get sides to go with it, so the meal felt more complete.

Taking a sip of the udon broth between pieces of sushi warmed my mouth up, and the mild broth went well alongside the sushi 👍

How was the flounder sushi?

Of the sushi we ordered, the flounder came out first, and the clean look of white fish made it look appetizing. The flounder slices were big, one piece at a time, and I took a bite right away.

The flounder had the light taste of white fish with a subtle savoriness that blended well with the rice, so you really get the essence of sushi. A light dip in soy sauce adds a salty note for a different flavor, which I liked 👍

What's in the 14-piece special sushi?

The special sushi at Sushi Naru Yeongdae Hospital Main Branch has 14 pieces in total, a lineup of tasty varieties from flounder and raw salmon to uni, otoro (fatty tuna belly) and freshwater eel. If you'd like to try a variety rather than a single item, I recommend the special set 😊

From light white fish to soft salmon, shrimp and scallop, tuna belly and eel, the variety meant every bite had a different taste and texture. Besides the basic sushi you often eat, it also included more special-feeling ingredients like uni and otoro, which was a nice change. With 14 pieces the portion was generous and the quality good, so I was completely satisfied 👍

If you visit Sushi Naru Yeongdae Hospital Main Branch and can't decide what sushi to eat, or want a variety, the special set that lets you enjoy many kinds at once is worth considering 😊
