What a great experience, we say at the sushi bar and got served. It was soooo delicious. I don’t have one complaint, my server was a sweet heart. I didn’t get his name unfortunately but he was Caucasian had glasses with a goatee. To start we got the caviar special and the tuna dip. As the main we got the signature set, spicy lobster, 2 winter specials, everything salmon, and crunchy scallops. To end it with a delicious mochi churros and sesame chocolate chip cookie. Everything was wow, will definitely come back!

Service was excellent and the ambience of the restaurant was very well planned and executed. The large window and the aesthetic interior makes it an excellent place to sit and dine. The hand rolls used high quality and fresh ingredients, and the combination of flavors on some of them were very unique! Like the caramelized onions with fresh scallops, and the yuzu zest ships leaf with fresh shrimp. The only thing is each hand roll on average was around $8-9 and some others ranging more. So if you’re hungry it would be pricey to get full.

Absolute must try!! Some of the best flavors my palette has ever experienced. I have been to both locations in NYC several times and food is always consistent. The Tuna Crudo appetizer is *chefs kiss* and leaves you wanting more. The “Matcharita” was perfectly mixed and balanced. Desserts are also a must try, especially their gluten free chocolate chip cookie. This BK location is bigger and allows of slightly larger groups compared to the one in Manhattan.

All the food was absolutely delicious! The fried dishes were super crispy and tasty, and the hand rolls were, of course, amazing. I also had a cocktail, and it had such a unique flavor. You could really tell a lot of thought went into making it. Highly recommend!!

Came in with no reservation and got seats at the bar instantly. Loved the atmosphere relaxed but stylish. The food was amazing, and the furikake fries were a standout (so good). Great service and overall experience. Will definitely be back.

Unreal. The best hand roll sushi experience I’ve ever had. The Triple is insane: caviar, uni, toro tuna. Just wow. I like to come solo and just eat at the bar. Servers are usually American and interesting to talk to. I’ve been to the design district location in miami. Also amazing. Original location in the village great too. Highly recommend everyone to come here. Also the fig cheesecake desert was holy cow amazing.

Understated and pleasant rather than extravagant, the restaurant offers a relaxed sense of Japanese simplicity. The coconut shrimp and crab dynamite were enjoyable bursts of flavor, though the classic temaki stood out for letting the quality of the fish speak for itself. A few dishes carry noticeable heat, so it’s worth asking if you’re sensitive to spice. With its clean design and easygoing atmosphere, it’s a comfortable spot to spend an evening.

I came with a somewhat larger group of my friends and we had a server I believe her name was Madelyn (curly hair and bangs) who was just an absolute darling!! We had the most fun and delicious night ever.

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!.
