    Tamara was an absolutely amazing hostess. I was unable to get in contact with the restaurant to make a last minute update to my reservation and she was beyond accommodating. My aunt has food sensitivities and Tamara addressed the matter with the manager and allowed special arrangements for my aunts needs. The entire evening was great from the time we walked in to the time we walked out. Our servers were great, very attentive. Even the security at the door was polite and helpful. Thank you for making my brother's 40th birthday dinner a delight

    Absolutely incredible experience from the ambience, aesthetics, and music. Our server was extremely knowledgeable about every menu item and gave us a wonderful breakdown of popular pairings to choose from. The unexpected star of the show were the Crispy Brussel Sprouts. They were perfect and a must!

    My partner and I recently visited Nami Nori for the first time, and it absolutely exceeded our expectations! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a modern yet cozy feel. One of the biggest highlights for me was that the entire menu is gluten free, which is such a rare and wonderful find! The food was nothing short of exceptional—each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with fresh, well-balanced flavors. The signature temaki (hand rolls) were the perfect combination of crispy nori, perfectly seasoned rice, and high-quality fillings. Every bite was a delight! The service was also outstanding. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and happy to offer recommendations. You can tell they genuinely care about the dining experience and take pride in what they do. Whether you’re gluten-free or not, Nami Nori is an absolute must-visit. We can’t wait to come back and explore more of the menu! Highly recommend.
