Best Japanese Restaurants in Middle Village

Love this restaurant! Despite a minor misunderstanding, our waitress Iris was exceptional and sweet! Food is amazing as always! Thank you to Tim the GM as well for taking care of us.

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!

Great food, attractive staff, except one of the bartenders was pretty rude. We had a great time earlier otherwise

Though we had an expected wait what whet seemed to be an inexperienced hostess (particularly for such a large restaurant), the rest of the night was great! Our server Yong was lovely and knew the menu well! Helped us with decisions and everything worked! Poke & kai chi were a great pairing - both truly yummy! Entrees were also great, we had the basil chicken, Thai beef, Mongolian beef - Thai beef is on the sweeter side, but still all good! Careful with the buy 1; get 1 Rita’s! Surprisingly strong, but yummy! Yong also suggested the lava cake for dessert. Standard stuff, but still tasty! Lots of bdays and groups, good background music, lighting, etc. for a good night out with friends, I recommend.

This was my first omakase experience and it was such a lively experience. The staff were so attentive, making sure my shot glass was filled at all times. The food was delicious. The staff make it very interactive and present the food in creative ways.
