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.

I really enjoyed the decor, ambiance, and overall concept. The food was decent, though not exceptional—it’s Japanese-inspired but not authentic Japanese cuisine. Overall, it’s a nice spot to visit.

I had to change a reservation that was originally for four people to eleven for my boyfriend’s birthday. The general manager, Shelby, was incredibly helpful with this. Not only did she help me with a small, customized menu for our group that had an option named after the birthday boy, but she was communicative and accommodating with every detail of the reservation. Our server, Kate was amazing and the whole experience felt very special. I appreciate such outstanding service and will definitely be back. Thank you so much!

Solid sushi, very sharp and modern ambiance. All of our food was fresh, tasty, and well presented. Attentive service, but it was a bit distant or cold.

Temaki signature set was mid. Crispy rice chips with spicy tuna dip was amazing. Sesame miso cookies were sweet!
