If you're in the East Village, have a craving for some raw fish and on a budget, this is the place to go. It's small and casual, yet there's a certain Japanese minimalist aesthetic to the restaurant which is attractive and provides an escape from the St. Marks trashiness around the corner. The menu offers some interesting appetizers and rolls, but I just took them up on their $1 special. That's right - $1 per sushi piece. And it's good, seriously. Yelp says Takahachi is the best in the hood for inexpensive sushi, but I think Nori is better.
Although the hushed atmosphere and giant flat-screen display of Japanese cooking techniques felt strange to me, I thought the $1 sushi was tender and flavorful. While the pieces were much smaller than normal, this was better than oversize slabs of fish in my opinion. (I'm so tired of gigantic sushi that I can barely take back in two bites.)
I'm not sure why the quietness of the place bothered me so much, but my ideal cheap neighborhood sushi spot needs to have some hustle-bustle...or something. Maybe Sunday is the only awkwardly quiet night?
...I'd probably get over it faster if the rolls and appetizers weren't on the expensive side.
