Nami Nori

This modern, minimalist spot emanates with an impressive level of warmth. Beyond its entrance, find blonde-wood benches set with gray-blue pillows, and two U-shaped counters where temaki, or hand rolls, are front and center, along with Japanese-inspired snacks and sides. Hungry diners will revel in the chef's set, which presents generous, beautifully assembled open-style rolls, perhaps tuna poke with crispy shallots, XO scallop brightened with lemon zest or coconut shrimp with green curry and cilantro, all delivered directly from the crew to the counter. A plant-based section adds thoughtful variety, and vegan options are equally tempting.
