Nori sushi — Restaurant in New York

For an authentic sushi experience, Nori is among the top places to go on Staten Island, in the same way that one might go to Jade Island for Chinese food.

Though the restaurant has a little bit of a takeout feel, it also has the feel of a genuine sushi place in Tokyo, where I’ve been many times. When you walk in, you will see the typical sushi bar and you’ll hear the sound of Japanese music playing lightly in the background. That is no subtle thing, because many restaurants go off key when they play music that is unrelated to the food experience. Do you want to be in the mood, don’t you?

The napkins, shown in the photos here, have been a staple for years, thick like a cloth napkin – – a subtle way to say we care about you because there certainly are cheaper alternatives.

The staff is kind and will quickly go to your table to start you up. All of the food is delivered expeditiously.

I love the Ramen and often get it. It’s super hot as it should be and perfect in the winter. One of my favorite dishes, shown here, is the grilled mahi served over soba noodles. An incredible dish, flavored with soy ginger and pineapple salsa. A must.

The fried rice is one of the best I can find anywhere. Sometimes I get it with chicken sometimes I get it vegetable style. Either the case, super hot and not heavy heavy feeling at all, as some fried rice can be, Reflected in the light color, replete with egg and everything you want in fried rice.

All of the sushi is so fresh and as you would expect it and they have a number of creative dishes there

I’ll be back again and again, and I’ll report back with photos from the other sorts of dishes there that I like...

if you love sushi this is the place to go! this place was great! our server eric was super friendly and great. the nachos we got for appetizers was to die for, honestly the best nachos i ever had. the first bite i took from the nachos was like heaven and i already knew the sushi was just going to be as good. i got the boardwalk and it was so yummy! and the mochi for dessert was delicious i recommended the strawberry flavor. and the place wasn’t too expensive it came out to a little bit over $100 for 4 people. by far one of the best sushi places i ever had. sadly i was only in ocean city for the weekend otherwise i would be eating...

The food is BOMB. Super super yummy!!! They serve you continued green tea with your meal (which is awesome!) This place has reserved my go to sushi spot for a minute, and definitely for a good reason. The staff are always very polite! I can be quite the annoying customer, but I mean hey, at least it pays off in the end (for me lol.)

Good foods to try from there: Gyoza (the sauce they’re served with is amazing) and make sure to order them well done! Miso soup (with extra tofu of course) Shrimp tempura roll!! Beef Soba (almost like a healthier, thin noodle version of beef lo mein) Vanilla tempura fried ice cream with...
