Nava Sushi Cucina giapponese e tailandese

Lunch with 5 friends was lovely. We had a mixture of sushi, gyoza and soups. All delicious 🙌

A very welcome new addition to dining options on Eastborough, Scarborough. A nice selection of cuisine from Japan and Thailand, with the surprise bonus of Korean Kimchi thrown in there too. The menu is not typical for what you’d usually expect from a Japanese restaurant, but it is more typical for what you’d normally see from a Thai restaurant - I guess that’s what comes from fusion cuisine eateries. We also asked for some off-menu items including simple Avocado hosomaki, and salmon hosomaki which the chef was able to accommodate easily on the Sunday lunchtime that we were there for. They also managed to accommodate a request for iced coffee. Nice portion sizes (larger than expected soup/salad/kimchi dishes, and chunkier sashimi, or maki fillings). Items are labelled for Vegan/Vegetarian options, many dishes have a veg alternative, but don’t be afraid to ask for off-menu items as they were very accommodating overall, and mindful of asking about allergies for your accommodations.

The Nava Sushi Special & Nigiri Special, and the Bento Box were beautifully served, fresh and appetising. We also had an order for Japanese Ramen which was appreciated for it’s simplicity - not overloaded with extra ingredients - as our diner likes their food with no extra surprise foods. The Massaman curry was creamy, sweet and comforting.

The toilet is through the door at the back and upstairs - so there’s no level access for that & no baby change. There is a step outside to enter the restaurant and a tight squeeze for a wheelchair or pushchair users.
