The idea behind NORI
LV First Kosher Premium Sushi and Tapas Bar — opening November 22.
Our story
NORI is named after the sheet of seaweed that holds every roll together — simple, essential, and quietly the foundation of the craft.
Founded by Alexandra Emtsova and Shay Shalmiev, NORI was built on one belief: kosher dining in Las Vegas should not mean settling. We set out to create a place where the food is the reason you come, and being kosher is what lets everyone at the table share it with complete confidence.
The idea
A contemporary Asian-fusion experience that blends modern Japanese cuisine with the freshest ingredients, refined flavors and creative culinary ideas — chef-selected nigiri, signature rolls, robata-style mains and tapas to share.
Not a kosher restaurant that happens to serve sushi — a premium sushi and tapas bar that happens to be kosher.
What we stand for
Our principles
Kosher, without compromise
A fully kosher kitchen, from ingredient to plate — so everyone at the table can simply enjoy.
Freshness first
Suppliers and fish chosen for quality, fish cut to order, sauces balanced rather than heavy.
Craft over spectacle
Contemporary Asian fusion that borrows the discipline of Japanese cuisine, with room for creative ideas.
Made for sharing
Nigiri, rolls, robata and tapas designed for the middle of the table.
Trust
Kosher certification
NORI operates under rabbinical supervision. Our current certificates are displayed here and at the restaurant entrance.
