I ate at Nami Nori in July of 2023. I was so excited to finally try it out after hearing about their NYC locations!! My friend and I both ordered the lunch special ($20 for 3 rolls and two appetizers). It is a great deal, and there are many vegetarian options!! We especially loved the avocado toast, sweet potato, and the salmon temaki!! The food was very fresh and tasty. I highly recommend Nami Nori for a great lunch in Montclair!!

Shishito peppers and trout sashimi for appetizers were delicious! We each did a “pick your own.” They were all delicious but toro is always my favorite. Tuna Poke with the crispy onions was delicious! The plastic wrapper that protects the nori when delivered is smart! No soggy nori! Would go back.

We got the signature set and every single one was so good! My favorites was the coconut shrimp. For dessert we had churros, it was the best I ever had! Restaurant is so clean, bright and modern.

Wanted to try this place for a long time and was finally able to this Wednesday evening.The vibe and atmosphere was amazing. Felt so comfortable and relax here. The service was very good. Our server Freddy was very helpful and informative and friendly. Told him that it was our first time there and asked for recommendations and we received some really good ones. We started off with the shishito peppers and the tuna crudo. Love the spicy level of the peppers and the tuna crudo was very refreshing. Then we did the create your own temaki as we wanted certain ones. The Ebi, XO Scallops,crab dynamite, lobster, o toro with scallions and the triple ( o toro, uni and caviar). For dessert the canoli temaki and the mochi churros. Our favorite was hands down the o toro with scallions then the triple and then the Ebi in that order. They were so fresh and has a very nice flavor. I am still thinking about them and looking forward to going back to try other items on the menu. This location is a BYOB. Have to also say that our chef James was super polite and his partner ( sorry forgot his name).

What a fantastic experience here at Nami Nori Montclair. As soon as you walk in, you’re greeted by an extremely friendly and professional staff. The interior is so bright and clean. I definitely recommend sitting at the bar. Such a lovely time. The chef was so fun and talented. I’m all for the Temaki sets and we went for the Create Your Own option. All of the rolls are open which was new for me. I had the x.o. scallop, tuna poke, toro and scallion, spicy lobster, and spicy crab dynamite. The x.o. scallop and spicy lobster were my favorites. So so delicious! Least favorite was the spicy crab dynamite just because it kind of reminded me of a crab cake and I’m not usually a huge fan of those. Also tried their mocktails. We really enjoyed the raspberry moon and the yuzu palmer was not bad. One hundred percent recommend stopping by here if you can.

Attention foodies and culinary connoisseurs! Get ready to embark on a taste bud adventure, because the newest addition to the Montclair dining scene is taking the city by storm. The amazing staff and impeccable service will make you feel like royalty, and the signature temaki sets are a must-try for anyone looking to satisfy their cravings. With five delectable bites in each set, it’ll take you at least a week to try everything on the menu. And trust us, it’s worth every bite.

I went here this weekend with some sushi loving friends. Now, I don’t eat much fish at all but still enjoy sushi. This place has great veggie sushi that is disguised as real fish. They definitely mimick some textures to give an “authentic” feel to the non fish options. For apps we got the bamboo shoots which has a little spice to it, corn ribs less spicy and a little sweet, and fries with the seaweed spice. All were very good. From L-R in my photo I got the sweet potato, pineapple, coconut shrimp, eggplant, crunchy avocado. I liked the crunchy avocado the most, that crunch was just delicious. Followed by the coconut shrimp and sweet potato. The pineapple and eggplant weren’t my texture preference really. The mochi churros were also great, nearly melted from the soft texture inside with a slightly tangy lemon custard sauce. Definitely a great place for sushi lovers and those interested in trying but not big fans of fish. Should also mention our friend has a nut allergy and the restaurant is nut free and takes note of any other allergies very well.

Make a reservation! This place is great! The atmosphere is great and the food is even better. Great date spot, as well as a place to take a few friends. Personally I find this to be a good place to take a smaller group. Yuzu Mocktail was so good I had seconds.

Amazing experience! My husband and I both enjoyed our dinner here. Note that the entrance they want you to use is the one that faces toward the Wellmont Theater. We had reservations at the counter and we were greeted and seated promptly by friendly staff. The space was bright and open. The Temaki chef did an excellent job preparing our food. The corn rib appetizer had such a unique and zesty flavor that we really enjoyed. I ordered the Vegan Temaki and my husband created his own set. Wow! I absolutely loved the variety of temaki and blend of flavors. The mochi churros for dessert were such an added yummy bonus. I definitely recommend this Nami Nori location and can’t wait to come back for more!
