Nori Sushi Bar and Grill

We stumbled into Nori and was extremely surprised. The barmaid Mariah definitely knows what she is doing behind the bar. Phil has a clear understanding of sushi. The flavors were exceptional. A definite visit if your in ocean city.

When we first came in, it was weird because there was no host and we are still not sure who seated us - that was our first impresion. However, everything else was great. The food was amazing. We got some recommendations on what we should try and we loved it. Server Alina was wonderful and had some great chats with her. We will be back!

Nestled in the heart of Ocean City, Nori is an absolute gem that transcends the typical sushi experience. From the moment you step inside, you're enveloped in an atmosphere that is both relaxed and thoroughly enjoyable – a perfect backdrop for an unforgettable culinary journey.
What truly elevates Nori is its exceptional staff. Every interaction felt genuine and attentive, demonstrating a deep knowledge of the menu and a clear passion for hospitality. Their recommendations were spot-on, guiding us to dishes that perfectly suited us.
We started with the Nachos and Salty Edamame, and let me tell you, these aren't your average appetizers. The Nachos were a delightful surprise, bursting with flavor and a creative twist, perfect amounts of spicy mayo and eel sauce to complement the fresh bites of tuna and crispy wontons. The Salty Edamame offered that perfect savory bite. Both were a testament to Nori's commitment to quality even in their opening acts.
Next we embarked on a sushi adventure. Following the staff's brilliant suggestions, we sampled several of their specialty sushi rolls, each a masterpiece of fresh ingredients and expert craftsmanship. The flavors were vibrant, the textures exquisite, and the presentation, impeccable. We also ventured into their vegan roll selection, and we were absolutely thrilled. Often, vegan options can feel like an afterthought, but Nori's vegan rolls were just as inventive and delicious as their non-vegan counterparts, proving that their culinary creativity knows no bounds.
Each and every roll we tried was, without exaggeration, very tasty. Nori has perfected the art of sushi, offering a diverse menu that caters to all preferences without sacrificing quality or innovation.
In a town with many dining options, Nori stands out as an extraordinary destination. It's more than just a meal; it's an experience curated by an excellent team in a delightful setting, leaving you with a lingering sense of satisfaction and a strong desire to return. Nori in Ocean City is, quite simply, a must-visit.
