Nori Sushi Resturant
“I was invited for a colleague's farewell lunch & did not expect much but as I walked in the foyer I saw a wall full of pictures of The Sopranos.”
“Great place, Awesome staff, fresh fish, BYOB, nice ambiance, pricey but worth it.”
“Maybe the Snoopy Roll or the Donkey Kong Roll – What are they you ask – I guess you are just going to have to stop by to figure it out :-)”

If you want sushi this is the place to go. Fresh and unique is what it's about here. Small place that does get crowded and you will wait once in awhile but well worth it. The staff is excellent and all very friendly. There unique rolls are awesome. You won't find them anywhere else. Prices here I think are fair. You get what you pay for. Definitely try this place
I've been here on several different occasions and I've always had a good experience. Fresh sushi, byob, and friendly service. You can easily drive right by it b/c its in a strip mall, but make sure you try this place out. I've never had bad sushi here, so whatever you try, i'm sure you will enjoy!
BYOB!!
One of the better Japanese restaurants that I have tried. Went for lunch with a friend. He had the beef hibachi; I had the shrimp hibachi. Both very good and generous portions. I had the clear soup to start which was very good as well. My friend prefers the miso. Simple side salad also included; nothing special. I did not like the Thai iced tea.
Walking in on a bright day, the interior seemed quite dark. Decor is nice enough. Service was fine. As you walk in, there are a dozen or so photos of the Sopranos; taken from an episode filmed here.
Did not try the sushi; not my thing; but I will go back for more hibachi.
I can't believe I have never been to this restaurant considering I've been living on your area for four years and it's two blocks from my home.
I came here for lunch and ordered the Sushi Bento Box which included a soup and salad. I had the choice of Miso soup or clear; got the Miso and it was spot on. The salad was a sushi restaurant standard (Iceberg with Ginger dressing). Everything was delicious. The Sushi Bento Box came with 5 or 6 pieces of sushi, a California Roll, 3 fried shumi, and two wedges of orange.
The only weird thing was all the Soprano's pictures they have in the vestibule from when they filmed episode 66 (yea it says episode 66 on the wall). All the businesses that have a picture of James Gandolfini with the owner is getting old. It's almost like those historic signs that say "George Washington slept here" instead it's… "James Gandolfini ate here".
All and all I'm definitely look forward to coming back and enjoying more delicious sushi.
Calling all Soprano fans! I know this doesn't matter to everyone but this was a landmark restaurant in the Sopranos and Nori is proud of it! When you walk in, there's a ton of pictures of the cast showcased on the walls. I absolutely love this, as Sopranos is my favorite series of all time. Ok, now on to what's more important, the food. You're started off with a basket with warm towels to clean your hands and a basket of some type of flavored chips (they are delicious). Even though the warm towels is a small gesture, it goes a long way. I think its a great touch and makes the customer happy (it worked on me anyway). My sister and I started off with the fried Gyoza filled with pork. You get six little dumplings in a serving and its a perfect appetizer to start with. You do not have to get these fried, steamed Gyoza is also an option. I do believe you can do a fish and/or vegetarian style as well if you're not into pork. They were very tasteful and hit the spot. I have to say I have had more meaty and bigger pork Gyoza at other sushi restaurants but these were still good and that's all that matters.
Sushi: My sister and I shared three exotic rolls, I posted a picture of the exotic rolls list, as I believe you cannot find it online (FYI no prices are listed on the menu). See below for details of each roll I had..
Krazy Big Roll: Tuna, spicy tuna, spicy salmon, tobiko and scallions. This roll had a nice kick to it, really opened up your airways. I enjoyed it very much. Side note, didn't really taste the scallions.
Sexy Roll: Kani, avocado, tobiko, Fresh tuna, spicy sauce. This roll was also on the spicy side, moderate bite sizes and was scrumptious.
Red Dragon: King crab, tuna, avocado, tobiko, special sauce. This roll was the largest out of the three…it also had some type of crunch on the top of it (which I liked). Overall it was good but it was my least favorite (I'm starting to think king crab on sushi just isn't my preference)…but either way, it was still enjoyable.
The sushi at Nori is just really fresh, which is why I enjoy it. Also, the staff is super attentive and the atmosphere is cozy and delightful. The prices are in line with other sushi places, so you are definitely not spending more than you would expect to spend. Two of the rolls were $13 and one was $14, cant remember the specifics of which roll was which price.
At the end of the meal you are served fresh orange slices (neither my sister or I like oranges so we passed up on this) but it was still a nice thought. I love Nori and any chance I get, I will come here for more sushi!
This is definitely my go-to sushi restaurant. The sushi is always fresh and delicious. They are a little pricy, but their lunch special (2 rolls, soup, salad, fruit, and appetizer for around $15) is the best deal around.
Nori has always been one of our favorite sushi places. Krazy big, snoopy and special eel are our favorites. Nice decor and friendly staff. Byob. Prices are on par with most sushi places.
Only 4 stars cause they charged me extra for spicy mayo when I asked for some 🙁
First of all, I am so thankful a decent sushi restaurant opened in the Wayne-area. With its fruit-incorporated rolls, Nori may not be the most authentic place, but it is so delicious! The menu is quite large and offers traditional main courses, such as teriyaki, hibachi, and unusual sushi rolls. The chicken teriyaki is always perfectly cooked and coated with the perfect amount of savory sauce. The sushi rolls are fresh and unusual, incorporating ingredients like fried banana and mango. I highly recommend Nori as the best sushi place in the area. (P.S.-They have another location in Montclair.)
