I have been a patron of them since their old location and the most important thing I can say is they are consistent. The food is always good and fresh tasting and the service quality always gives you that hometown feel. But I have recently discovered a new product of theirs, "the sushi burrito." Now most sushi lovers have tried these before but now you can get your favorite local rolls jumbo sized to go. Choose your roll carefully because too much of one thing maybe not what you want. I suggest a roll with a lot of verity in it. Pics below are of my favorite roll the "Lupita" and it was just right. I did see a review that mentioned the rice to fish ratio was stingy and I have to disagree for all you can eat standards it's on par and fair. This has always been more of a local blue collar establishment and lord we hope it stays that way. Don't go changing NC!

Best sushi in Carson City! The staff is so friendly and the owners are so nice to talk to. The sushi is always fresh and prepared beautifully. Will always recommend Nationals!

Used to have Juan roll for us way back when he worked at Water Wheel. Have eaten at Nationals for years and have never been disappointed! Fresh, delicious sushi - chefs always offer "specialty" rolls they do for us and they are always so unique and tasty. Love the new location as it has a bit more space and indoor restrooms. The service is always top notch. Highly recommend!

Waitress was very nice, the sushi was just okay. Got sashimi and if you know good sashimi then you know it shouldn’t be chewy and it should almost melt in your mouth. This one was cut in very wide pieces and was pretty chewy. It’s not terrible sushi but there are definitely better places around Carson that charge the same prices.

Very heavy on rice, chintzy with fish. 1st and last for us. Rice was 1/2 inch thick around rolls. Poor value.

Although I heard about National's Sushi from friends, I hadn't been there to eat. I always went to Capital City Sushi but they sold out and the new owners made it a very high end restaurant. So, I called a friend and said let's go try National's sushi for all you can eat lunch. I think the price was very reasonable, $26 with a large assortment of appetizers, rolls, hand rolls, and other things plus dessert. I tried the mussels appetizer which had six deliciously spiced mussels that didn't disappoint. I'm used to having the Lili role so I asked them if they had something like that they said yes it's called the Carol roll and I can tell you it was fabulous... the tempura shrimp was perfectly cooked in the crab on top with the sauce was just as good, if not better than other sushi places. From my next roll, I had the California roll, which did not disappoint and although I was coming to the end of my sushi feast I asked the Chef if he could make me a bagel roll, that's what I called it because it's made with smoked salmon, cream cheese, green onion inside out rice. Since I was getting full, I asked him if he could make it smaller for me and it was perfect. I had a hot cup of tea with it, and although I was looking forward to the green tea ice cream, I had no room left. There were things that I wanted to try on the appetizers like their eggrolls, their miso soup, and a few other things but I wanted to enjoy my rolls so I didn't indulge next time I go back I will have the things I didn't try this time. For those of you who do not eat raw fish such as me they have plenty of options and there's sushi rolls and other choices. If you're not a sushi person, they have special lunch menu where you can get a teriyaki bowl or a few other things. It's not a fancy place, it's a mama papa business, but the service is excellent, and the people are exceptionally friendly and it was very clean .We sat at the counter so that we could talk to them and watch them make sushi which is always fun. I guess you would call this your basic sushi restaurant that happens to be a cut above average, I definitely will recommend this and I will go back again. Just so you know, they have an à la carte menu. If you're not an all you can eat person, and their prices are very reasonable. Give them a try and tell them PJ sent you Ps would have taken photos of the dynamite roll but ate it too quick

Absolutely AWFUL! The service was horrendous. The waitress barely even talked to us. When she brought us our plates & water, she didn't say anything & set them down roughly (so much so that our water actually sloshed out of the cups). Our table was sticky & there was food on the floor. I'm not sure why we stayed at this point, but we did. When the sushi came, it looked ok, but it was so bland! We tried 4 different rolls & they all tasted the same.... Totally bland. We ordered some mussels that were so chewy, I couldn't even eat them. My husband & I both wound up sick that night. I can't believe how many people like this place. We will NOT be going back.

Truly one of the worst Japanese restaurants I've ever been to. I couldn't even bring myself to take photos as I was there with friends who seemed to like it. I know that choices are limited around Carson -Minden for more Asian foods but... I mean the Owner seemed like a nice guy and staff was nice as well BUT they had Latin music videos playing on the TVs and even the very basics were terrible tasting. The miso soup was watery and lacking ANY miso flavor. The tempura was much too heavy and laden with batter and well as being presented in 'bulk' fashion making it unappetizing from the get go. Actually didn't have even one Japanese vegetable in the plate. One of the WORST Japanese cuisine offenses had to be the the 'tempura' sauce... it was super sweet and too thick. Literally tasted like a teriyaki sauce!! Horrible - inedible for me. My gyoza looked straight outta the freezer section of Trader Joe's and had an almost pure vinegar sauce on the side. Nothing resembling a 'ponzu' dipping sauce. The 'sushi' rolls were unappealing as well being served with poorly made rice. I am sorry I agreed to go as I knew ahead of time it would probably not be very good. To say it was inauthentic is an understatement I'm actually sad that some people may think this terrible food is actually 'Japanese' cuisine.... It is NOT! I WAS even served my green tea on a coffee mug styled cup. I should've taken photos of the food but I was so turned off I didn't even bother- Please don't go thinking it's Japanese food. It is decidedly not....
