I used to be a regular here before they opened restaurant for dine-in, but on my visit today for pick up I was standing infront of the server/cashier for couple minutes without even any apology or recognition before the other person arrived.Have people hold on the phone and apologize them over the phone because you have a paying customer right infront of you, instead of making that person wait, that's why you're getting a 1-star review.Regretfully I cannot recommend people to come here with this kind of service at fairly high price/portions they have.

The food was delicious and fresh, the place was clean, and the staff was very professional and caring.

Nice place, food is yummy, salads are fresh, bento boxes are just right The atmosphere very Asian, which I like, specially the private room they have, I think that was very cool. Servers are very attentive and polite, it is nice and quite at lunch :)we loved it !

Amazingly great sushi ? ! I really wish the whole world knew about this place! My best pick is their shrimp tempura roll. Friendly staffs and amazing sushi.?

The food was amazing! The atmosphere was great and the staff very friendly. Simply a great gem in Montclair. Highly recommend the Exotic ? roll menu.

In this day and age, I wouldn't recommend impulsively going somewhere for sushi - this was our third stop in a frenetic 15-minute period of walking up to the doors of restaurants only to realize they were only processing to-go orders. In my experience, most sushi establishments are still super skittery about COVID, and the chances that the place you pick has sit-down dining right now is pretty much a coinflip. That's on us though - we were naughty and didn't do basic due diligence beforehand.My chum and I had lunch here yesterday. It's a spot we've been to before (notably after an unsettling Nocturnal Animals screening a few years ago that led to some animated conversation about Amy Adams over some edamame) for both sit-down and take-out, and it's been a solid, reliable destination. My go-to sushi restaurant for special rolls is Kenko Sushi in Lincoln Park, so it's a little unusual for me to venture beyond my comfort zone in that regard.We both usually end up going down the rabbit hole of exotic/special rolls, and this adventure was no exception. I went with the Godzilla Roll and the Verona Roll (both $11.50). They were both very good, though the winner by a slight margin was probably the Godzilla Roll - I have a weakness for the fried ones, and I find that they hold together much more easily than "regular" rolls, which is helpful when the pieces require two bites instead of one. The Verona is solid - my chum got a Titanic Roll, which looked exactly the same from the outside but had shrimp instead of salmon within the roll. Was any of this mind-blowing, astounding sushi that I'd go out of my way to sample? No, but I don't think it needs to be anything more than a place you're comfortable popping into from time to time.The service was very good on the whole. Our food came out pretty quickly, and it seemed like they had some takeout orders to juggle simultaneously as well. The waitress was a little overaggressive in bussing our table and grabbing the check; I literally still had a final bite of sushi in my mouth when she swooped in to take the plate from under me. And after giving us the bill, she came back about a minute and half later to grab it and we had to quickly tell her that we hadn't even opened it to put payment in. It was pretty empty in there too, so it wasn't an issue of needing to turn over the tables. But honestly? I'd rather have too much service than too little these days.I tend to think of Montclair as a pretty overrated food town, but Nori is a solid contributor that provides a decent counterargument.

The service was really good. Their sushi was decent (they had a friend banana sushi that was interesting), kinda over priced tbh. The seafood soup was good. Probably wouldn’t go back again.

Cozy sushi ? joint with many different options. BYOB!! I had the #3 and the king crab. It was pretty good. I'll pass on the king crab next time. It needed more sauce or add-on too plain. Very clean and good service.

Food was great, the bento was amazing! There are big portions(lots of food) in the bento. They gave me ice cream before I left as a "house special"!!This resturant is great and will come back if the time is provided!!

Best teriyaki and noodles I have had in years! I ordered the filet mignon with noodles, soup, and salad. Also got the fried bananas for dessert. Everything was delicious!
