Nami Nori

Think of temaki as the Japanese version of tacos. Nami Nori is a cozy West Village spot to try the innovative hand rolls, stuffed with tuna poke and crispy shallots, yellowtail and scallion or lobster tempura and yuzu aioli (the menu also offers vegan options). Limited reservations are available for dinner but people commonly line up on Carmine Street, willing to wait for a seat. There is also a good selection of beer, cider, sake, wine and matcha.
