    I’ve been to Nami Nori numerous times at every location and as far as the food quality and taste goes this was by far the best experience yet - however, the staff mixed up the order and shortchanged us some rolls. This wasn’t the problem, it was just the extremely rude attitude by the chefs when we tried to resolve it that put a damper on the overall experience. Every other time I’ve dined with Nami Nori the staff has been extremely kind and enthusiastic although last night the same could definitely not be said.

    All seven types of the temaki I tried were delicious - will try more next time. The inside of the restaurant is very nice.
