This minimalist gem serves up heavenly temaki hand rolls and delightful Japanese bites in a vibrant, welcoming vibe perfect for any occasion.
"If all you want is good, quick sushi for under $40, Nami Nori will scratch that itch. As a rule of thumb, the least complicated handrolls are the best things here, with a couple exceptions, like the x.o. scallop. The wood-and-white-brick West Village space looks exactly like the kind of bright, minimalist apartment that mostly just exists on social media, and there’s another location in Williamsburg.

"Nami Nori is a spot in the West Village that specializes in taco-shaped handrolls stuffed with things like tuna poke and spicy sea bass. And they sell them in sets for around $30, so you can collect a bunch of them and think about how nice they look before consuming them. We especially like the xo scallop version, and we suggest you add a bowl of clam miso soup or cottage fries sprinkled with furikake to your order as well." - matt tervooren
"This modern and minimalist spot emanates with an impressive level of warmth. Beyond its entrance, find a few blonde-wood benches donning gray-blue pillows, and a U-shaped bar. Further back is the ever-immersive sushi counter, as well as a semi-private area with a large table. Temaki or hand rolls—don't miss the fantastic vegan options—are front-and-center, along with other items like a vegetable miso soup with fried tofu and shishito. Hungry diners will revel in the chef's set, which may uncover such delectable combos as salmon, onion cream, and tomato in toasted nori. Topped with scallions, chopped toro on wasabi rice is hard to resist; not unlike the broiled crab with spicy mayo that arrives in a nori shell studded with Rice Crispies for a delightfully inventive treat." - Michelin Inspector
