Consistently fresh fish! Portions are a bit small for the price and entrees don't come with any side plates, but I always come back to Umai Nori when I want good takeout sushi without misses. The rice:fish ratio is perfect and it is obvious they use high quality ingredients.
Roll me a fatty role has a special place in my heart! Best takeout sushi in DC.

Once again, I had delicious sushi- the Pete's Sake Roll and Tuna Avocado Roll were outstanding! But not gonna lie... I'm sad that the Tuna / Maguro is now whoefully different than the first time I ordered it (and posted a picture) of each piece of Maguro tied in a beautiful delicious knot.The flavor and quality is still great, but each piece is way smaller..

Seriously... Umai Nori is my. We favorite sushi place in DC!!!
This was my first time trying it, and I was blown away!
I ordered the combo of 2 -2 Specialty Rolls + 1 Traditional Roll. I had no idea that also meant I'd get Edamame and Miso Salad!!
So I also ordered 2 -Tuna / Maguro - which were a little pricy at $5.25 each but I was amazed when they arrived - best Maguro ever- and love how it was presente !!!
In teams of the rolls, I had:
Pete’s Sake
$17.00
Spicy tuna, shrimp tempura, avocado, fried onion
Torch Me Slowly
$18.00
Spicy salmon, tempura ko, seared salmon, guacamole, crunch yam
Spicy Tuna Roll
There was so much food, this could have easily fed two people!!!
Absolutely delicious!!! (And even the packaging and chopsticks and napkin were beautiful!!!!
100% recommend!!!

Chirashi was good! Would absolutely order again. The Crab Wonton was definitely cream cheesy but bigger than expected. Miso soup was flavorful and savory umami. Not a lot of seaweed or tofu tho. Mostly broth.

Decided to get takeout from this restaurant on a whim and got their Kaisen Don lunch special. What a great find! The assortment of fish is super fresh and I appreciate how well packed the food was. Sushi and sashimi are not going to be cheap anywhere in DC but I think the price is fair for what you get (includes a miso soup + salad). Will definitely be back to try more of their lunch specials!
