Nori Yakitori and Ramen

so good

What an amazing experience we had at Izakaya Nori Restaurant ! An amazing tranquil environment with a lot of natural light and beautiful ambiance filled with traditional Japanese cherry blossoms at the entrance and greenery decorations everywhere. The tables have very nice ornaments that truly give off the Japanese culture vibes. Now the food was incredible ! Started off with some edamame on the house ! (They serve it to us before we placed our order) We ordered the 3 roll special and I ordered the Tokyo Ice Tea. In the pictures you can see the drink looks refreshing and was actually very tasty. Please take notice of the presentation of the plates and why I want to give this place 6 stars! The Philadelphia, California, Boston, Salmon, Eel Avocado, and Shrimp rolls were all amazing! Ended the dinner with two Sapporo beers and gave a nice tip! Would come again and again and again!

The ribeye yakitori was pretty good, tender and a good amount of sauce to pair it quite well. The chicken skin yakitori was very crispy and delicious, with just a tad too much sauce which made some pieces overly salty, but no biggie. The salmon tartar was just okay, with the yuzu sauce being very sour. I think if the amount of avocado being increased a bit, it would have helped equalize its sourness with the creaminess of the avocado. The three rolls lunch special is very fresh and had more ingredients than rice, just like the special dancing lobster roll which had so much lobster (as evident in the pictures)! The rock shrimp lunch bento was also just mediocre, potentially due to it being overly battered and pieces were combined together. Overall, we really loved the freshness and generosity of the fishes in their normal and special sushi rolls! The restaurant also looks very pretty with beautiful floral decorations and is incredibly spacious and clean. The staff were all very friendly and quick with their service, with pretty plates and utensils. Will definitely be back and I'm sure with a little adjustment, the quality of their food will only continue to enhance! Thank you for reading and best of luck! (:

The restaurant itself is very pretty, and feels very open and clean. I initially had ordered fried rice for delivery as I had a craving, and what I received was so good I had to come in person. My partner and I got rolls this time as well. The tempura are some of my favorite that I've had in a long time. The sushi was very fresh and satisfying. I also always love a good tempura ice cream for dessert. We couldn't recommend this place enough and look forward to coming back soon!

First time going, visited last Saturday night and it was quiet, only a couple of tables filled. The atmosphere is nice, the service very attentive. The food and presentation was delicious! The ramen and appetizers are especially tasty and the sushi was very good too. I will definitely be back to try more of what this cute restaurant has to offer 😋

Good food! Good service! It was for 3 and was not expecting it to be THAT good! But happy we did try it. We got the Tonkatsu ramen, noodles was delish! The egg and i got extra egg too! We also got the karaage, takoyaki, edamame and a Yakitori combo! All good! We even had desserts! Everything was good! Will definitely be back whenever were in Staten Island.

First time visit this location. Not bad, service and food is good. It was quiet evening and I love it since not that loud and noisy. If you are not familiar with this location, it's little difficult to find it during night time. Focus on gps and should be no problem to find it.

This location truly delighted me. The cuisine was actually excellent. Perfect not-too-saucy ramen! There are numerous item alternatives. Lunch special rolls were also tasty.

Came on a Tuesday Night Party of 2 Restaurant was pretty empty which is nice because we got to enjoy and appreciate the interior. Interior: - Nicely lit - Air Conditioned - Well decorated. Modern with fresh look - Seating has ample space and tables are roomy - Pretty bar setup - Nice small touch, but they used pink Himalayan salt as the condiment which gave a nice feel (not that cheap table salt which I appreciate) - Sushi preparation and kitchen were hidden so you don't hear or see the prep Food: Nori Roll, Salmon Roll, Shrimp Fried Rice, Shrimp Tempura, Yakitori, Matcha Fried Ice Cream - Fish tasted FRESH. Tried Salmon, Tuna, and Yellowtail. Was not fishy at all. - Portions were big enough to fill an average person. - Rice had a smoky delicious flavor. Not salty at all - Shrimp Tempura was so delicious with great sauce - Presentation was clean and simple - Cost was affordable and reasonable Staff: - Greeted with a smile and a 'Welcome'/'Hello' - Waiter was extremely attentive and polite. - Used Tablets to take orders which is another nice modern touch - Noticed they had their kids there. Very quiet and didn't even notice they were there. Overall: Nori Izakaya is a lovely and clean sushi place that has a roomy and refreshing feel. The food is delicious, fresh, and well presented. The staff were pleasant and professional. Thank you for the hospitality. Will definitely be coming again. Note: My partner is a born and raised Manhattanite who has gone to many sushi places. I don't think I've seen their face light up over a Shrimp Tempura the way they did at Nori.

Living on Staten Island in Dongon Hills area I tried every sushi restaurant. This was the most Delicious, fresh sushi I’ve ever tasted. Thank you Nori for bringing us the best yet. Came a little after 3:30 and still was allowed to get lunch special. Very friendly and beautiful atmosphere. I will definitely be back and probably eat in. 👍👍👍👍

We had the pork dumplings, skewers and ramen, everything was DELICIOUS. The prices were reasonable and they had a bar. Place has cool decorations and the servers were good.

so good

Delicious food, excellent service and good prices! Absolutely love this place

Avacado Salad is really good, good sushi, good selection, good service, chill space, clean, what's not to like?

We came from NJ looking for another Sushi place but stumbled on Nori's thru a search and decided to give it a try. The place is very very clean and crisp. The decor is top notch and seating is very nicely arranged. The food presentation is very nice and in some way appetizing. The sushi was very fresh and tasted very well. The sushi selection is great and we tried a number of their offerings. Prices are very reasonable and the service is great. Based on location parking might be a bit of a challenge. I'd highly recommend giving the place a visit. You'll be happy as my family and I did.

I LOVE their sushi ❤️ their fish is ALWAYS SO FRESH and you can’t beat the rice to fish ratio!! My favorite place to get sushi in Staten Island and in my opinion deserve more recognition and love. I hope their business flourish and they will have my support ☺️

Excellent balance of taste and quality. The ramen has a deep, well-rounded broth, and the sushi is incredibly fresh with perfectly cooked rice. Great service and stylish interior — this restaurant is now my favorite.

Everything is just amazing and perfect. The decor ia really nice and well-thought of. The food is out of this world with balanced flavors and spices as well as it looks amazing, too! Saving the best for last, the service is undescribable and the employees are so nice. We're definitely regulars. :)

We ordered the 10 skewer combo and 2 additional Yakitori(skewer). The portion is a bit smaller than I expected, for 3 of us are not too full. The Yakitori tastes are good. Next time I will try the eat in cause the restaurant looks nice and comfy. Especially they are newly open and not too crowded.

If you want a quick bite this is fine but if you want a festive atmosphere find another place! The waiter was in a bad mood, everything was uninviting and cold.

We have been coming here for years and ordering every single week if not twice a week. My kids love the food! Last two times we came in, have had the worst attitude as if the waitress is doing us a favor! Will never go back. I think the owner should hire better staff. Customer service is very important!
