Nami Nori is a casual, award. winning, temaki bar specializing in open-style sushi hand rolls. Our menu features signature temaki, including crunchy varieties, as well as takes on the classics and a special vegan section. The open-style temaki allows guests to enjoy a wide variety of flavors, in each fun-to-eat, visually tempting bite.

We also serve Japanese-inspired snacks and appetizers, along with a selection of beer, sake and wine, available on tap and by the bottle. Nami Nori is a casual yet elegant temaki bar offering guests a unique sushi dining experience in Williamsburg. Coming from the rarified Japanese restaurants in which they trained, partners Taka Sakaeda, Jihan Lee and Lisa Limb envisioned Nami Nori to be a more inclusive place that balances accessibility with a dedication to quality and creativity with a respect for traditional techniques.

Nami Nori is a place to share with friends, old and new.

My wife and I had celebrated an anniversary the first time we came here. We came to do the same tonight and the service was great. The food was delicious and fresh. We order two sushi sets and the caviar set, which we recommend. The cocktails are fun and refreshing as well. The space is also very pretty. We will be back very soon.

The food was outstanding and the service was even better. There's definitely a bit of a learning curve on your first visit but the staff is expert and very kind about teaching the essentials. We were there for my wife's birthday and they were terrific, the right blend of acknowledging and not going overboard. Everything was top notch but the clam soup was amazing, our 6-year old had two bowls all by himself

Excellent, innovative, food. Very gracious and attentive service. The restaurant had a nice, clean vibe. The noise level was not too loud and it enabled me to have a good conversation with my friend. I’ll certainly return!
