Food was incredible. Sitting at the Temaki Counter is the way to go, and the chef hands the pieces right to you. The fish was incredibly fresh, with so many options for starters and hand rolls. While most places would charge you an arm and a leg for this experience, Nami Nori was quite reasonably priced for such delicious food. Loved the atmosphere and interior design as well.

Could not recommend more! We had a lovely experience at the sushi counter. The food is outstanding but I also really love the ambiance. And the entire staff is that perfectly balanced combo of warm, friendly & professional service

This was my second time there and it was just as amazing as the first. All the staff is incredibly kind and the food is so fresh and delicious.

Over-priced Japanese food. For between $8 and $12 you get very small 'handrolls' that look more like small tacos (the nori/seaweed being the taco shell). These are very small and you will easily spend way more than you expect. Giving this a fair rating as the nori was very crispy. There are plenty of other restaurants that offer better food and value.

The food was delicious, as always, but I still think the back sushi bar is screaming for decor! It feels like I'm dining in an unfinished space. The large back wall could use a large piece of art to decoration to make it more inviting.

Had to ask the server for wine glasses even though he clearly saw me with wine. Then I had to ask again to have the bottle opened separately — so annoying! Also, the sushi tastes different from two yrs ago. They're no longer using the disposable plastic wrapper; instead, they've changed to a “wrap your own” style. Such a disappointing experience. Never going back!

The temaki was delicious and creative. The restaurant is convenient to the Welmont Theater, where we had tickets for a show after dinner, and the interior was modern and clean. Service was great. What a wonderful discovery in Montclair! We will be back!

Amazing food and experience! As someone with Celiac, it's great to be able to eat everything on the menu. The sushi is fresh and delicious every time and all the apps I've tried have been equally as good. Will definitely be coming back again. Highly recommend!

Was there twice in last few months and both times, the waitress forgot an item that we had ordered.

The food is always stellar here I love eating here. However, we were quite literally kicked out at 10:01 on the dot. Having worked in the industry I know how annoying lingering people can be but this was rude and abrupt. Starting 930 we were asked if we would have anything else. 950 we were checked if we would pay the check. We were finishing our glasses of wine and conversation and at 1001 told "I hope you're finished because this room is closed". The lights came blaring on and that was it. I raced to the restroom and waited out in the cold for an uber I rush ordered. Horrible service.
Very fun and different dining experience! If you enjoy sushi, you will love this spot. Everything was fresh and I highly recommend the mochurros for dessert!

A singular experience. Every bite of every roll made us say something about it. Such a perfect night!

terrific, especially eating at the bar. A nice experience. We had 2 of our 3 kids with us, ages 10 and 15 and they enjoyed it.
