Our first visit. Plenty of choice. Delicious, fresh food. Excellent service. We'll definitely eat here again.

This is a very authentic Japanese restaurant serving lovely food . We had the bentonite boxes and the food was beautifully presented and delicious.

Tiny place with lots of character. The starter/tapas menu was delicious, especially the pork belly and the dumplings. Katzu curry went down very well as did the seafood noodles - beautifully presented sides came with. Very friendly waiters that coped well with the covid screens...in such a small space. They deserve to do well.More

Excellent little restaurant everything was very nice and the waitress was fantastic polite and very helpful would definitely visit again if in that part of Nottingham. Great service and great food

This is a little gem of the Japanese restaurant. It was the best meal out I have had in a long time. Fantastic food, excellent and friendly service. If you haven't been, go.

Came here as part of the eat out to help out scheme. nice little place, only has 5-6 tables so is small but that adds to its charm. The staff are great. and the food is delicious. and a good price (although it was a...deal they put on for the scheme) will definitely be going back.More

Sora is a delightful little restaurant and will likely capitalise on the UK's currently insatiable appetite for Japanese food. We dined mid week; as part of a "Tapas meal" we were served a starter, Bento Box main and a small bowl of ice cream for...dessert. Service was excellent and I felt at ease asking for expert advice on what Sake I should order and what temperature it should be served, they have a lot of Sake! Highlight for me was the Miso Salmon and I loved the Miso soup that is included as an extra. While I've never been to Japan, this felt authentic to me. The owner evening popped out of the kitchen to thank us, she is so cute and lovely. If you are looking for a passionate independent restaurant to try Japanese food, this is it.More

Lovely little place,friendly,unpretentious, probably 24 covers max.Excellent food. A mix of shared tapas/ starters Japanese style + four different mains including 'specials'.Delightful self-deprecating waiter, well informed and checked with the kitchen on ingredients as one of our party is diabetic. Rather sinister looking sesame ice...cream. Looked like mortar but tasted fine; very palette-cleansing. Coffees fine, especially expresso. Highly recommend. Opens 4 days a week. Booking probably essential. kingMore

We have managed to get a table in this tiny restaurant twice without a reservation but we only live round the corner so I’d definitely recommend booking if you’re travelling from further afield. All the staff we have encountered are charming and very happy to...explain anything you don’t understand about the menu or Japanese cuisine in general! We don’t eat meat and have found plenty of veggie/fish options. Everything we have ordered has been wonderful! I particularly like the potsticker dumplings which are the best I’ve ever had. Can’t go wrong with the sushi either. We had around 6 dishes, a bottle of wine, two desserts and a pot of tea and the bill came to £68 which feels like good value given the skill and high quality ingredients involved. Highly recommended. We’ll definitely be returning!More

A two-course meal for three people was very reasonably priced, tasty, beautifully presented and varied in flavours. The very helpful staff were much appreciated by the two novices in our party. Sora may be small and unostentatious but has a warm, friendly ambiance. Will certainly...go there againMore

Really disappointed with this place as the owners and chef are Japanese yet they are not offering authentic Japanese food. Having been to Japan a few times and eaten in many Japanese restaurants in Asia I can say with all certainty that they are using...instant packed noodles in their ramen which is a big no no and the other dishes offered are really not up to par. It’s a shame as it could be so much better.More

For me, this is in the top four restaurants in Beeston (along with The Frustrated Chef, Cafe Roya, and SukoThai). The food is absolutely delicious, and is made with such care and attention. The sushi is lovely, as are other dishes, such as the donburi....In fact everything we've tried has been really good. Some of the desserts are lovely too (e.g. green tea ice cream). It's also very nicely laid out, and the staff are very friendly. The only downside is that you no longer seem to get matcha biscuits with your bill (they were absolutely delicious).More
