Best Japanese Restaurants in Nutley

My partner and I recently visited Nami Nori for the first time, and it absolutely exceeded our expectations! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a modern yet cozy feel. One of the biggest highlights for me was that the entire menu is gluten free, which is such a rare and wonderful find! The food was nothing short of exceptional—each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with fresh, well-balanced flavors. The signature temaki (hand rolls) were the perfect combination of crispy nori, perfectly seasoned rice, and high-quality fillings. Every bite was a delight! The service was also outstanding. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and happy to offer recommendations. You can tell they genuinely care about the dining experience and take pride in what they do. Whether you’re gluten-free or not, Nami Nori is an absolute must-visit. We can’t wait to come back and explore more of the menu! Highly recommend.

Always great. Food is top notch. Always a go to when in NYC.

Our experience was excellent. We arrived early but were seated right away. Service was excellent. I had the Rib Eye and my wife had the Fillet. They were cooked to perfection and excellent cuts of meat. We had asparagus and mushrooms as sides. Both portions were large and nicely prepared. We skipped desert and opted just for coffee. It was our first time at Ocean Prime and we were very happy.

I can honestly say that the lobster mac and cheese was great. I have tried it in so many different states and countries but this by far is top 5. For anyone going i recommend you try it. Give my best to the Chef

Thank you for an amazing dinner and outstanding service. I cannot wait to go back.
