Our favorite of these rolls was the Nori Scallop although they all came pretty close. In this combination is handrolls they select that is king salmon, negihama, nori scallop, negitoro, lobster, and red crab. The menu goes by how hungry you are so it starts at I Could Eat that comes with 3 rolls at $16, then Hungry 4 hand rolls for $21, next Starving 5 hand rolls for $26 and the last option that we went for because we wanted to try basically everything was the Hangry that offers a mix of 6 hand rolls for $31. The menu holds a ton of variety and their handrolls are creative with more to offer inside than just the simple raw sushi. The location is not the most ideal but with how good this restaurant is people will make it work. The ambiance from the second you enter the restaurant makes it feel beyond authentic. The owner of Nori is the former Nobu chef, Jimmy Park who knows exactly what he is doing and how to do it. The rolls are great but we have to say Nori’s rolls and menu blew us away after comparing the two.
The menu is limited with only a few simple handrolls and sashimi to offer. The space is quite small with only a few seats at the bar it is not a good place to go to with a big group that is for sure.
It sits in West Village with a great location and in the center of everything. We have done a blog post on Namo before when it was the only handroll bar that existed. We went to experience the two and compare for ourselves. In the past month Dallas went from barely knowing what a handroll bar is to now having two great handroll restuarants that have blown up recently.
