"Nami Nori is a casual yet elegant temaki bar offering guests a unique sushi dining experience in New York City. Coming from the rarified Japanese restaurants in which they trained, partners Taka Sakaeda, Jihan Lee and Lisa Limb envisioned Nami Nori to be a more inclusive place that balances accessibility with a dedication to quality and creativity with a respect for traditional techniques. Nami Nori is committed to creating great experiences for both guests and employees alike. We have plans for expansion and are looking for dynamic employees to help our company grow!"
