Nano was fantastic! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere and service were great. One thing that really stood out was the chicken tempura—it was incredibly unique and not something you see everywhere. The texture was perfectly crispy on the outside while staying juicy and flavorful inside. If you’re looking to try something a little different that’s done really well, I highly recommend ordering it. Overall, a great experience and definitely a place I’d come back to!

My friend and I have lived in the neighborhood since 2023 and have been coming to Nano sushi since then. When I tell you it does not feel right to visit another sushi place almost like I’m cheating on the owner Linda. The sushi here is not only reasonably priced but also very tasty. Linda makes you feel very welcomed and part of her family, and that’s something other sushi places can’t offer. She even remembers your orders and go to drink. Go pay Linda a visit, I promise you will not regret it. Definitely try the crab Rangoon and mini Godzilla roll!

Great place for a cold day dinner. We order the popular ramen and nigiri sushi. Huge pieces of nigiri that really made you full. Ramen was full of flavor and the eggs noodles were great. Definitely recommend the buns, they came out hot and fresh that was great started options. Great neighborhood location. Photo: I ate half, couldn’t wait to eat it.

I’ve been coming here for years since they were at the old location and it is hands down my favorite sushi and ramen place in the city. Linda has always been the kindest always remembering my name and order…even with my delivery order!!

Nano Sushi is an absolute gem. The service is always above par, the food is amazing in of itself, you’re treated as a guest in their home when you arrive. The indoor space is intimate and clean, the outdoor patio is a romantic private nook, well decorated and designed. Highly recommend to everyone in the area to support this small business and upgraded location.

This is our go-to dinner spot. The food is all delicious, the prices are amazingly low. The service is always so kind and welcoming, and the vibe inside is top notch. There’s a lot of sushi spots around here, and this is the winner. Oh, and the new patio is lovely!!
