Nori sushi

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.

Decent spot for sushi but some of the rolls are a miss. [FOOD: 3/5] We ordered the spicy tuna, Philly, Amboy, and Two Thumb Up rolls. The last two were pretty good but the first two did not leave a great taste. Something was off about the fish to the point where I felt I had to eat it quickly. [SERVICE: 5/5] Service was quick and staff is very friendly and welcoming. [VIBE: 4/5] Tastefully decorated and very clean, with a small sushi bar in the back. Good spot for solo, dates or groups.

Quality really depends what day of the week you order, sometimes the food isn't amazing, but other times you get what you pay for and then some. Would recommend. Edit: My last experience with them was not great, the quality of their sashimi was awful, to the point where it was essentially inedible. Changing my review from 5 to 2 stars based on this experience.

I have gone from being a “shrug your shoulders” over Japanese/sushi places to an obsessed patron of this restaurant. I cant believe Im not waiting on a line out the door to get in. Staten Islanders, dont miss this experience! Great prices, consistently delicious, fresh dishes. Friendly, attentive service and a fish tank to boot.

Just decent sushi enough to satisfied sushi crave for a bit. Standard decor nothing fancy. Local sushi joint. Didn't try their noodles. Sake selection limited and the bottle I wanted they didn't have it in stock or have anything comparable.
