Nakamori Japanese Bistro

I can’t really justify five stars from one visit. The place is tucked in Yuppieville, near the Cutco outlet and National Camera Exchange, across the street from Byerlys.
I had the Hibachi Scallops for lunch, which was excellent. Pricey, but good. Filling. The table next to me was close, so it’s a good thing they were friendly, and we exchanged pleasantries from time to time. Service was excellent, even as he danced through the tables to get to me.
I’ll probably go back when I’m in the area, and explore more of their menu.

I’ve driven by this place a million times. Finally stopped off for lunch the other day. I was not disappointed! They had a great happy hour going on and I was able to get all of my favorites at a very reasonable price. We were seated right away and staff were very friendly and attentive. Think I just found my new favorite sushi spot.

Ordered sushi entry, which comes w/​10 chef picked sushi. It tastes very average among all the sushi I had in my life; fish doesn’t look or taste fresh enough. We also order chicken udon, considering they don’t have beef udon available. Too bad, we asked the waitress took the udon back after we tasted. The meat didn’t taste good, the udon was overdone, the soup had no flavor. That was probably the very first time we request the waitress to bring something back because it’s really hard for me to pay for it. I have to say the rating for this restaurant is overrate.

This place is tucked away in the strip mall across from Byerly’s and I almost missed it while trawling the area for it. Inside, it’s rather open, and sounds really do travel inside. It’s not quiet, that’s for sure.
However, the food is pretty good! The tempura veggies are good, and you get to pick three that you want rather than it just being a random assortment of whatever they have around that day. I had the Spicy Girl roll, which wasn’t that spicy, but the salmon sashimi I had was pretty tasty. I didn’t dislike the Spicy Girl, but I could have had some more spice, y’know?
I ordered the tempura cheesecake for dessert because I’m a fiend for cheesecake, and I enjoyed it until the still-​slightly-​frozen center.
Pretty decent sushi, but I won’t go out of my way to get there again.

I was looking for something other than fast food for lunch. I saw that DoorDash just added this restaurant to the list of places they will deliver for. Since I was stuck in a meeting, I needed something delivered, and DoorDash is always excellent. I tried the Steak Hibachi lunch special. For $ 11 you got basically a half size portion of the standard dinner, plus soup, rice, and vegetables. All was very good and prepared as requested. The steak was very nicely seasoned, and the vegetable portion was quite large. I’m looking forward to stopping into this place in person and trying more of their menu!

The service was great, the happy hour prices were very affordable, and all the sushi rolls were delicious!

Nice place. Nice atmosphere and friendly service. The sushi was good, but not great. Some of the friends I eat there with were more exited than I was.
I’ll probably come again to try some more of their sushi, and other courses.

I have ate plenty of sushi all over the U.S. & world. This place is by far overpriced and not great! And the Kobe beef is absurdly overpriced at $ 60. The one younger server spent more time talking to a guy than doing her job. The cooks had to take orders at the bar! She also never checked up on me. I skipped the sushi because they were overpriced anywhere from $ 1.50 to $ 5 per roll! I got the hibachi salmon, which was also slightly overpriced.
WARNING!!!
They threw on shrimp hidden under my salmon. It was good, but if you have a shellfish allergy make sure you tell them not to put it on, as the menu does not mention the shrimp. The salmon was something I could easily make at home. The «onion broth» soup Was miso soup. The $ 3 add on for fried rice, was cold.

The ambiance is lacking, sound really travels from table to table, but the food is good.
The vegetable Gyoza’s were my favorite part of the meal. Very flavorful.
The avocado salad had a bland dressing but the avocados were perfectly ripe.
My husbands Udon Soup was, «not spectacular.»

Had the chance to meet up with my good friend Collin for lunch today, he choose this place. Not a bad choice if I do say so myself. The portions were large, and flavorful. Maybe not stellar but we were in a strip mall in Edina, just sayin. The staff were very friendly and the place was very clean. I will keep this place in mind when I’m down around Edina.

I needed to feed my yearning for sushi one night, so I hopped on Unilocal to search for a decent restaurant near by. I stumbled across Nakamori Japanese Bistro only about 5 minutes away. It had stellar reviews and the food pictures reeled me in. I was sold and headed on over to grab some takeout. The restaurant was small, but modern and welcoming. Everyone was so cheerful and nice. I was even greeted about 3 times before my brief walk to the register.
With the help of the waitress, I opted for the hamachi toro (fatty yellowtail) nigri, saki (salmon) nigiri, and a house special maki (spicy crab meat topped with super white tuna and dusted off with roe). The hamachi toro wasn’t as buttery and on par as you would expect toro would be, but it was still good. The saki nigiri and the house special maki was also decent, but wasn’t as fresh as I like my sashimi style fish.
Nakamori’s sushi definitely hit the spot for my sushi craving, but it’s nothing to rave about. If you are looking for decent sushi in the area, you’ll definitely find it here. Just don’t expect anything spectacular.

Finally found a good sushi place in Minnesota! To be fair … only tried a couple but until Nakamori, we were filled with disappointment. I’ve been here twice this week (shhhh … don’t judge).
Wife had the salmon hibachi and she said it was great. I went simple with a spicy tuna and a philly roll but they were really good! The spicy tuna roll was actually a little different than any I’ve had … almost like a little crispy rice mixed in with the tuna. Great flavor!
My new favorite sushi place not names Kiku (coincidently my top 2 are named Kiku but totally unrelated … one is Naperville, IL and the other in Los Angeles).

Out of all the Japanese Restaurants I’ve been to, Nakamori hands down has the best Kani Salad. Their Beef Kushiyaki are amazing. I’ll try out the Kobe Beef one day and see if it’s as good as the one I had in Japan.

I was staying at a hotel nearby and this was a close choice. I was dining alone and I knew that there would be a bar to sit at. This place is tucked away in a strip mall and I was able to walk right in.
The staff was super friendly and quick. I sat down and had a drink within a few minutes. I ordered a glass of the house wine, $ 5 and it was totally fine for the price. Since I was alone I ordered the spicy tuna roll, a tempura sweet potato roll & a house salad.
The salad dressing was creamy and honestly there was just too much of it. There was a lettuce that was swimming in dressing.
The sushi was decent, I really liked the sweet potato roll! The spicy tuna was tuna salad (not slice of tuna) and had some crunchy pieces in it. It was not overly spicy, which was disappointing.
I’m not from the area, but I would rate this a 3.5. It’s fine, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to go there.

It was my first time here this weekend and I’d have to say. From all the reviews, everyone is pretty much on point with the experience here.
The atmosphere was wonderful and great. It’s smaller than most Japanese restaurant but that’s what made the experience phenomenal.
The service there was great, the waitress made sure everything went well and definitely recommended us some of her favorite dishes. Explained fully on the quantity of food we would be getting, as in an example, if it was shareable or just perfect for one. Definitely helped us make our decisions better.
We chose to start off with Miso soup & Gyoza (*pork*). The miso is like any another miso soup if you like miso as much as I do, you will not be disappointed. The gyozas were well made, crispy and perfect texture with the sauce they provided for dipping.
For our entrée, we went with the Spicy Girl roll and Seafood Udon. The spicy girl roll, had the best spice to it if you’re into spicy. The texture of the rice was perfect for me, it was really soft and held the sushi together very well. You will not be disappointed! Again, it was delicious!
For the seafood udon, it was definitely a dish that was worth sharing for sure. I’d have to say it would have to be at least 4 people to finish it. Two wasn’t enough, but maybe our stomachs were too full from everything else.
The price was very decent and definitely not expensive especially dining in for two people.
I will definitely come back here again since my experience was phenomenal and wpuld definitely recommend this place to anyone whose looking for another wonderful Japanese restaurant in Minnesota.

Was in the area and friends wanted sushi. Where to go in Edina for sushi. A quick Unilocal nation check and the only one near by was Raku, and a couple other places. Hated Raku. Let’s try the one randomly in a strip mall. My heart tells brain as brain says GTHO. Went in and ordered the loveboat because who doesn’t like sushi on a friggin wooden boat? Ordered the chicken katsu as well. All in all pretty solid. Nothing mind blowing but the device was stellar and I was still in a little bit of shock that this was just a place in a strip mall. Try the boat. You won’t regret it. It’s a lot of food for $ 60. I found my western burb sushi spot unless I go strip mall hunting again ha!

My dad was at the European wax center which is close by and my mom and I were bored and hungry so we decided to get takeout at nakamori and I have to say it was amazing! We got a California roll and it was so much fresher and tastier than our usual sushi place in Mankato.
The staff was so friendly and easy going so I felt relaxed while I waited for my food. Such a great place I definitely recommend coming here if you like fresh seafood and sushi!

Decent Japanese food in Minneapolis.
Service is 5 stars. Really nice people
Sake selection is 1 star. Not so good
Wine selection 1 star
Menu for food is like a Japanese diner. They offer sushi and sashimi and teppanyaki and a million other things
We came for sushi and sashimi. The quality is not bad but every piece is way too cold and hard to enjoy

Fresh Sushi, Great presentation.!! We sat at the Sushi counter and had a really good time talking to the chef.
Every staff member is cordial and friendly.
After having their awesome Sushi, I went back a couple of times to try out their Hibachi Grill (Salmon) and Bento Box (Chicken Teriyaki). Lesson learnt… stick with Sushi at this place. And so –1 star.
Great place to go if you hate venturing out to the city.

My daughter found this restaurant. We love trying new restaurants and enjoy the foods.
The inside of the restaurant is very calming. Their staff has excellent customer service. Their food is great!
They always keep good quality of their food, unlike other restaurants, after grand opening, the quality of their food starts to fall. But not with this restaurant. Therefore I continue to go back.
Great food and great service!
