Reviews Nori Sushi

We loved food and atmosphere! Wonderful surprise for sushi on staten island!!!

Hidden Gem on Staten Island. Best tasting and most beautiful sushi on Staten Island! Nori's food was fresh, tasty, and artfully prepared. My son and I gave this a try last night as we were bored with the usual SI sushi food.

The first clue that we were in for a higher class experience came when the waitress helped put the napkin on our laps. This is a small thing but it makes an impression. The staff was very friendly and attentive throughout the rest of the meal.

We started off with the King Crab Tempura. It was served in a light vinaigrette with super thinly sliced jalapenos and red onions. It was a wonderful dish though a bit overpriced at $15.

This was followed by the House Sushi-Sashimi for Two. Nori does have a Omikasa (Chef's Choice) but I think this is a less expensive way to get to know the place as the chef gets to select your food this way too. We were really impressed. We have not seen such an expertly crafted dish anywhere else on Staten Island. Every piece was fresh and expertly sliced -- not a nick to be seen anywhere. At $55 for two it was a bargain.

We ended the meal with Nori's banana fritters as this was something you can't find in many other places. Oooh. This was definitely the right move. The fritters were served as pretty little twisted packages of crispy fried light filo dough with a hidden present of just enough molten banana alongside a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. Save room for this dessert!

I have eaten at many east-coast sushi places including Morimoto's in Philly and Nobu in NYC. If you can't get to one of those give Nori a try. You won't be disappointed.

Overall a wonderful experience. We will be back!

No change in my opinion. If anything, each visit solidifies my Love of this place. Nori is clean, fast and most of all Delicious. Great prices for a good portion size. Friendly service is also a plus. A hidden gem? Whenever I am in the area i find myslef weighning my options and winding up at Nori. Thanks you.
