Absolute best sushi anywhere in Connecticut – I have had so many incredible meals and memories here I can’t fit them into one review. The owners are wonderful people and make every meal special. They remember their customers names and preferences and always suggest additional dishes that they might enjoy.
The first meal I ever had here was 9 years ago with my now-husband. We were celebrating our one-year anniversary. Another couple was celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary – turns out she was a Michelin reviewer on her day off because she loves the food so much! They paid for our meal without telling us – I wish we had gotten their number! Since then have had flawless meal after meal here.

I wanted to love this place, but the food lives up to neither this restaurant’s reputation nor its prices. It is quality food and is a worthy option especially in this region which is unfortunately lacking in many international cuisine choices, but there’s just nothing special about it if compared to other Japanese restaurants. Specifically, I found the tempura batter to be too heavy and the sushi to be a bit dull, though the salad was quite good. Again, it is okay, but not a place one should plan as a must-visit culinary destination.

Very expensive and extremely small cuts of fish. The Kani salad had zero fish in it, was about an ice cream scoop size and almost $20. The Udon noodles had no soy sauce or sesame flavor, but, instead, tasted like weak barbecue sauce. Edamame was overly salted. The fish was very fresh, just wish it didn’t cost $7+ per piece. There’s nothing special about the “special” rolls. They looked identical to a regular one. Roughly 3x the cost of nearby restaurants for 1/2 the food. Our bill was over $100 for: 1 app, 1 salad, 2 entrees, and 2 drinks. We were still hungry and ended up going to Washington Pizza, for a pie.
As a note, they only have about 7 tables so it might be worth a call before going (they were only half full on a Saturday). Can be difficult to find the actual store front, once in the plaza. Look for a little brown sign w/ Japanese writing.
Edit for Owner response:
Let’s get the fact it took you 3yrs to respond out of the way.
To say there are no traditional Udon recipes, which include sesame, is completely false. Not every Udon recipe is just Dashi. I’ve traveled East, more than once, and have experienced authentic food many times.
I did complement the freshness of the fish. However, the price was the issue. I very much doubt they were 1oz pieces, for $7/ea.
We used Google to find your restaurant, as we live only 5 miles away. We much prefer Yokohama. It’s has a much livelier atmosphere and prices are much closer to realistic expectations. Their level of quality is absolutely on par (if not slightly higher) than yours.

I’m so disappointed and angry. I wanted $100 worth of sushi and was told that would only be four rolls. ok, Thats fine , I was expecting excellent food and quality.
I received two plastic containers of sushi that looked like stuff that costs $20 in the city. One of the rolls had imitation crab meat and was doused in soy sauce. absolutely criminal.

Horrible service. Owner lady is very rude and very deceiving. Food quality is never worth that much money. Highly overpriced with tiny serving portions. They rip off parents who send their kids to nearby boarding school.
Added on 8/2022: I don’t know how you can trace the bill dating back more than 2 years ago, and I don’t know how you can simply assume I paid by my credit card or someone else didn’t pay for the dinner. However, if you want to know who the server was for the training purpose, it was this Asian lady in her between 40s and 50s. I think she is highly likely the owner of the restaurant, but I may be wrong on that one. It would be better off if she doesn’t show up at the restaurant.

Norimaki serves high quality sushi and Japanese dishes in a calm and lovely environment. The saki menu is extensive and interesting. There are special dishes when they can get fresh fish from somewhere that is a little unusual. The chef’s tofu is amazing, very smooth and tasty. Everything we had, from seaweed salad, to sushi to teriyaki was delicious. The service was so lovely it made me feel like I was back in Japan. A gem of a restaurant.

An absolute gem tucked away in the heart of Washington, CT not DC!
The food was fresh, sophisticated and several items were flown in from Japan!
The organic tofu starter, was creamy and had a delicious hint of smokiness to it. The bluefin tuna was a rare treat and with the hotate (scallop) was great to get a sense of the nigiri menu. We also had black cod, grilled to a perfect moist, flaky texture and the kake udon soup, perfect for a winter’s night. The finale of green tea ice cream with a plum wine reduction sauce was a perfect ending!
If you want sophisticated, well executed Japanese food in Washington, CT. you will enjoy it in a quiet serene setting at Norimaki!

Great little place in the depot. Didn’t know this little gem was even here. This is a small place with great flavor. One of the best sushi places I have been so far.

Excellent Sushi, and not just for being in a small town in CT– excellent by city standards. Seaweed salad and calamari salad are delicious starters.
