Wow! This was easily one of the best sushi I've had in nyc. Each bite was heavenly. I treated myself and I feel like that was the right call, if you come here you gotta go big or go home. The spicy tuna appetizer was so good! As for the rolls, here is my ranking: 1. Toro, Uni + Caviar (expensive yes but so worth) 2. Lobster 3. Real crab 4. Toro + green onions 5. Crispy fish And you have to get their mochi churro for desert too. Also I feel like I got lucky cause I walked in by myself for dinner. And was seated right away at the counter read more

I came in this evening after calling ahead and was told seating was available. When I arrived 10 minutes later with my service dog,, I was informed that I could not be seated. This is unacceptable. Refusing service because I have a service animal may constitute discrimination. If this matter is not addressed immediately, I will be reporting this business for discrimination. read more

10/10 sushi experience!!! Got a 5:30 resy about a week out for the bar seats. For starters got the spicy tuna dip & cucumber salad - highly recommend both. For the main got the Temaki starter set. SO good and so reasonably priced ($30). Every roll was so delicious - my fave was the spicy tuna, but I am also obsessed with tuna. Got the tequila matcha cocktail and it was delicious. Very balanced! Lastly, the interior is beautiful. Super high ceilings with a bright light. My only recco - if you're with 3 or more grab a table vs. bar seat. read more

My wife and I went here for our anniversary brunch and Nami Nori did not disappoint! We made reservations and mentioned it was our anniversary when we arrived. Sat at the bar area where the chef's were busy preparing dishes for other customers. They initially didn't really greet or make any conversation with us, which I thought was a bit awkward as any folks sitting at a bar setting would be welcomed with a friendly, "hello" or "hi, welcome" - there was nothing. We didn't take it personally, we figured they were just busy. Though, the restaurant wasn't busy at the time. We ordered the Temaki sets, signature and the starter set. We also ordered the mushroom dip and the ocean trout sashimi for our appetizers. My wife LOVED the mushroom dip, I did too. The texture and creaminess with the crunch of the crispy rice chips was absolutely satisfying to eat. The sashimi was super fresh, combined with the orange ponzu - it was the perfect bite. Our Temaki set was served one at a time, together by the chef at the bar, who finally spoke to us and wished us a happy anniversary. Each piece was made with precision and just the right amount of wasabi and soy sauce. Nothing to complain about but wanting more. The portion was decent, my wife and I were both not holding our belly full but just full enough which was great. Overall, we'd recommend Nami Nori. High chance of us returning for sure. On top of that, the waiter also surprised us with a free sparkling soda to celebrate our anniversary, very nice touch. read more

The restaurant is brightly lit with table seating in the front and counter seating towards the back. We actually reserved counter seating as that was the only option on opentable but ended up getting a table seat when we arrived. Food here is fun, fresh and delicious. Can definitely get pricey depending what you order. There is a lunch special option as well which is very reasonable. There are also temaki sets but we decide to just order à la carte to try the exact ones we wanted. read more

Unique handrolls and overall great experience. I got the signature set and it did not disappoint. Definitely get this if it's your first time here or you're not sure what to order.

Walked in at 6pm on a friday for two. Staff was very accommodating and found table seating for us. Tuna poke classic, good, nothing special but was great Tempura big skip, too much batter and ypu only get two shrimps and two calamari. Pass As for the temaki, aka ebi, scallop, truffle, salmon serano, ikura, conut shrimp were phenomenal and i would get again The sets are the best value for sure as without the set the same rolls would be like 40ish The crab california and lobster one is mixed with mayo so because of that i wasnt the biggest fan read more

Made a reservation here on a Monday night at 7:30 pm. It's always hard to get reservations the day of (tried twice and couldn't get a good time slot), so make sure you check their site first. The West Village location is always booked too. A couple of my friends said that this was their favorite place to eat in the city, so I was super excited to try it! We got seated, and it took a pretty long time to get our orders started. We ordered the tempura misto, spicy tuna dip, and each got a signature set. Tempura misto $15- Definitely a pass. The breading was so thick and not appetizing. The pieces weren't really seasoned either. Spicy tuna dip $16- Recommend this! The rice chips remind me of the colorful fried ones they have at Chinese weddings. The tuna dip was also flavorful and light at the same time! Signature set $32- Not the biggest fan. A lot of the pieces weren't flavored or could have used a little tang. The tuna poke was my favorite, but the excessive fried shallots were overwhelming the flavor/texture of the fish. Coconut shrimp didn't have the consistency of shrimp and was also breaded thick. I was excited to try the sesame cucumber piece, but the sauce was thick and really salty. It reminded me a salted peanut butter consistency. Didn't work with the seaweed for me. The good wasn't particularly memorable, but the bad was disappointing. I'm not sure if I would come back! read more

Nami Nori is a great sushi spot - I got a few hand rolls to go and to eat in McCarren Park and it was all very fresh and well-prepared. It had a really nice vibe inside as well, and the staff were kind, and it was a really cute place I would definitely take someone to or catch up with a friend at. Sushi has been blowing up in NYC and so a lot of great options are plentiful. I would say this is a great place to take someone for elevated casual vibe. It's great that it's near the park as well. It's standard sushi pricing I think at this point. But there's definitely more expensive sushi out there, so just take a look at the menu before you decide. My friend who lives nearby recommended this spot to me and I'm glad I went. Would definitely come back! read more

We ordered the Signature Set, which was really good overall. My favorites were the coconut shrimp and the salmon sarano--both packed with flavor and beautifully done. For appetizers, we added the tuna crudo, which was incredibly fresh and delicious--definitely one of my top bites of the night. The tuna dip was also excellent (clearly, we're big tuna fans ). The only miss for us was the salad, which had a flavor profile that wasn't quite our taste. That said, the drinks were great and the service was attentive and friendly. Overall, a great experience and a solid spot for creative hand rolls and fresh fish. Would absolutely come back. read more

Oh Nami Nori, you were fantastic. To start, the bamboo was fantastic - a sleeper hit. Then, I got the starter set, and man just hits on hits on hits. The fish was fresh and melts in your mouth, and the assembly process was fun and simple. The tuna and salmon were standouts. I got a sake too which was just delicious, and the waiters were very helpful in choosing one. The interior is small but well decorated and arranged. It is popular, so waits can get long just FYI. The service was helpful and thoughtful. I think this beats out Kazu Nori imo especially with the fun drinks and appetizer menu. Can't wait to come back! read more

Stopped by Nami Nori Williamsburg for lunch and had such a great experience. We ordered the starter temaki course, which came with five hand rolls: California, tuna + avocado, yellowtail scallion, salmon + cucumber, and spicy tuna. Each one was perfectly wrapped with crisp nori and warm, seasoned rice, and the fillings were fresh and flavorful. I also got the melon soda, which was light, refreshing, and just the right amount of sweet. It added a fun, nostalgic touch to the meal. The vibe in the Williamsburg location is clean, minimal, and welcoming - great for a casual lunch that still feels special. I'd absolutely come back for another round. What I ordered: Starter Temaki Course * California * Tuna + Avocado * Yellowtail Scallion * Salmon + Cucumber * Spicy Tuna Melon Soda read more

Really cute hand roll spot in Williamsburg. Had reservations for the weekend and were seated right away even though we were a bit early. They suggest 5 temaki for a full meal but you can order however many you'd like. I had the summer special bbq toro, spicy tuna, jalapeño salmon, scallops, aka ebi. They were all good but my favorite was the scallops and aka ebi. They were well balanced and zesty. Sat at the bar so we were able to talk to the chef and get our preferences for wasabi, etc for each piece. The menu said everything is gluten free, they also have a good amount of vegan selection. read more

Delicious, but small portion sizes. I was excited to try Nami Nori since I was visiting from LA and hand rolls are one of my favorite meals! I got the mushroom truffle soup to start which was amazing. If you like cream of mushroom you'd like this. Signature temaki set was $32 which is a fair price, and comes with 5 rolls. Tuna poke, scallop, coconut shrimp, salmon Serrano, and cucumber black sesame. I really loved the non-traditional rolls like coconut shrimp and cucumber black sesame - they were like unlike anything I've tried before. I didn't feel full after the meal so wanted to order their seasonal dessert but they didn't have it so I was disappointed. They also had churros but didn't feel like getting that although they looked amazing. Service was friendly, and they have 3 little bar areas inside and some tables with 1 for a large group in the back. Overall super cute spot, but with a lot of great sushi competition and places to try, I'm not sure this is "the best" but it's worth trying. read more

4 stars for table service but would give 5 stars for counter service. But honestly I think service was great, everything was great, but I think the weird plastic on the hand rolls really took away from the experience. We did notice that those sitting on the counter do not have the plastic wraps so I think the plastic wraps at table service is to prevent the seaweed from going soft since it's brought as platters. Ok so fish is on par with other handroll places. Not the best quality but good enough. Do appreciate that I can taste and feel the fish as compared to say kasunori where I mostly taste the rice. (Kazunori rice and seaweed is better though). Clam soup I would not do again but it was a cold day. It's a fine soup, just small and had three clams. Miso soup with clams, simple and good. We got a beer and sake too and they were very attentive in recommending us options and heating things up. Service was really good so overall still a great experience. read more

My husband surprised me and planned a lovely evening for us which included dinner on Saturday at Nami Nori in the Brooklyn location. We had the most amazing experience. In fact, this will be the longest review I ever wrote, but very well deserved. The manger, Noelle, was very personable and more than accommodating. My husband let him know we were on a time restraint and he went above and beyond along with Bianca, the hostess. We were made to feel like the most important people in th restaurant. Elliot and Giovanni were making th sushi that evening and every single piece was a different experience. Nothing short of amazing. You could feel the love and care that they put into every bite. The ambiance was great and we will definitely be going back! Thank you all!!!! Well done!. read more

Our server was so fantastic. He was very attentive and super sweet/understanding. He gave fantastic recommendations and catered to us (an indecisive group of 4) very well. I was so happy with the service. The food was amazing as well! It was a great experience of making your own hand rolls with the nori in a box and the sushi coming with just the fish and rice. It was a modern and elevated space but also inviting and casual on week nights! read more

We decided to check this place out for restaurant week! Immediately you're greeted by a great atmosphere (good music, clean & spacious place, welcoming staff). You can be seated by the bar for a more intimate experience and watch the chefs make the pieces in front of you or you can sit at the tables! We started with their miso soup & furikake fries which were crispy! We then got the starter set ($30) which included 5 temaki. The nori sheets on the side so that it wouldn't get soggy, I enjoyed the diy aspect of that haha. Every piece was delicious and fresh! Decided to also try out their other hand rolls too, I got the x.o scallop. Was a little disappointed by the scallop temaki because it was overpowered by the flavor from the x.o. flakes but the scallop itself was fresh & citrusy from the lemon! Glad I gave this place a try after seeing so many tiktoks about it! Definitely a solid option to visit for restaurant week. read more

3/5 Stars Overall, the host was fantastic and made us feel very welcome. I really liked the clean, modern vibe of the restaurant. However, the wait time for food was longer than expected -- we ordered 15 temaki and they didn't arrive until 44 minutes later. Our waiter wasn't very attentive throughout the meal, which was disappointing. The food itself felt overpriced and overhyped; I've definitely had better. Personally, I still think Domodomo in the city is a better choice for quality and service. read more

Went here on a whim and so glad I did! Love the idea of this restaurant - 3 full bar/ counter seating so that everyone can get the temaki experience of rolls being handmade to order - reminded me of an omakase for hand rolls. Started off with the tuna crudo and caviar service for apps - loved the caviar service but I would skip the tuna crudo next time. For hand rolls I got the lobster (love the shiso leaf flavor) - red crab (delicious!) - salmon Serrano (has a really nice kick) - eggplant miso (looks & tastes like beef!) & uni (so much uniiiii) Loved the decor, ambiance, and amazing service. Really great dining experience! read more

I came here the other night on a date and was able to make a reservation pretty easily. The space itself was bright and airy, with tables as well as seats at the chefs counter. Our server was great, and helped to walk us through the menu. The drink and food menu was great, with lots of options. For food, I ordered the shishito peppers to start, and it was a large enough order to share. We each ordered the temaki (5 pieces each) and while they look small, they will fill you up. Between the both of us, we ordered the coconut shrimp, the spicy lobster, sweet potato tempura, the everything smoked salmon, the cucumber black sesame and the avocado toast. They were all delicious, though our favorites were the spicy lobster and I loved the sweet potato tempura. I would definitely come back here again! read more

I love coming here. This is a must-try for anyone who likes sushi, likes a cute vibe, and solid drinks. It's especially worth adding to your list if you're considering a solo date-night spot. Food: I always go for one of the offered sets - the signature is by far my favorite. I've tried a few other items: furikake fries - a must every time nori chips - solid, but only get if you're not that hungry top neck clams - a slept on item spicy lobster - so good, easy add to any set the triple - decent but not worth the price imo One food note: if you're a dessert person, or even sort of a dessert person their churros are randomly delicious Service: Sometimes the service is really good and sometimes it's just ok. It's never been bad and I've been here a ton. One of my favorite things to do is to come alone and bring a book. I've had trouble getting a table for more than two people. read more

Love this Nami Nori! Even better than the West Village location if you ask me The temaki may SEEM small but they're so jam packed with filling and flavor! My husband and I love omakase and this was such a fun alternative. We each got the temaki set and one additional (the spicy lobster which was so good). We also got the caviar service (DELISH) and by the end we were too full for dessert which never happens to us! For drinks, their sake menu was robust and the server let me try a couple options and guided me to a great choice to complement the meal. Beyond the food and drinks, the service was great--every person we encountered was super nice and you get the feeling that everyone who worked there got along and was having fun. Can't wait to come back! read more

Traveling solo for work in Brooklyn - this was my favorite meal. Probably one of my most recent favorite meals I've had in a while. Got an easy reservation for one on a Saturday night. The place was busy and the ambiance was a vibe. I sat at one of the sushi bars and ordered the Shelby's Choice. In order of most favorite 1. Xo Scallop - tobiko, lemon This was my favorite bite. I ordered it twice. So fresh, sweet, salty, umami! 2. Fried Oyster - perfect crispiness, pickled onions, more refreshing than you'd think with a fried oyster! 3. Toro + Scallion - just can't go wrong with Toro, ever! 4. Aka ebi - fresh and delicious. Perfect amount of sauce. 5. Eggplant - really good, but was craving the sushi route all night. Would love to eat here every week if I could! read more

I usually get takeout, but I finally had the chance to sit down and try the hand rolls. We started with the seasonal sake flight, which paired perfectly with the hand rolls. For small plates, we had the corn ribs, which were well-seasoned, and the spicy tuna dip--it was absolutely amazing. The hand rolls were incredibly fresh. We ordered the toro scallion, spicy crab dynamite, XO scallop, coconut shrimp, salmon serrano, and aka ebi. I was a bit disappointed that they didn't have the spicy lobster hand roll or the tempura misto available. :( For dessert, the Mochurros were fantastic--such an innovative combo of mochi and churros! I wasn't a fan of the lemon curd that came with it, but the Mochurros were great on their own. read more

Nami nori is one of my favorite places to eat on special occasions. Not only is the food amazing, but their service goes above and beyond. It's a really cute place for a date night or just a night out with friends. I made reservations for our anniversary. Definitely make reservations cause they get so busy! Sofia, our server, took really great care of us! We were offered free presecco for our special date. We also ordered a few cocktails called the wake up call and the colada. They were delicious! We got the spicy tuna dip and tempura misto. MUST get the tuna dip. Wish we got two! We also ordered their signature and classic temaki sets which were really good and we also created our own with the spicy lobster, crispy spicy crab, toro scallion and the salmon serrano. You really can't go wrong here! They were all great! I wish we had room for dessert, but we were stuffed after that. Thank you nami nori for making our anniversary special. read more

I came to Nami Nori for my friend's birthday and I loved it. The ambience is great and the food is even better. We got a couple of appetizers, the furifake fries and tuna crudo, to share and they were both so good. The tuna crudo was so flavorful and the fries were cooked to perfection with the right amount of crisp and flavor. For the temaki, I personally got the signature set which came with 5 preselected. They were all pretty different but I enjoyed them all. I didn't love that I had to peel out a plastic wrapper though. Then at the end, we got some churros which were some of the best I've had. Overall, I had a phenomenal experience. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is probably because it is a bit pricy for the amount of food. I think most of the people at my party left a bit hungry afterwards but otherwise I will definitely come back here again in the future. read more
