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.

We had such a lovely time yesterday afternoon. I spent the entire evening thinking of the food we ate at Nami Nori. The coconut shrimp handroll was top notch and I am so happy I chose to try it. All of the cocktails are spectacular. Nami Nori remains as one of my favorite restaurants. Thank you!

Nice experience. Cozy dining area. Interesting cocktails. I recommend coming here before 7 pm, as it gets crowded pretty quick and the staff tries to politely move you along, which is understandable. For first dates, second or third, making a reservation for 5 ish is ideal. You can enjoy yourself without pressure as it’ll be empty inside and no there’s no sense of urgency to get yourself outta there as crowds of ppl start coming in.
