Unfortunately my experience at Nori was rather average. The quality of fish is just all right, and I thought the rolls and sashimi just had a lack of precision and detail to them. A lot of the rolls felt pretty one note, the gomae was very average, stuff like that. The decor and place is also not as well cared for as it should be in my opinion. It doesn't help that the environment is super noisy, I usually don't mind but this time around it was definitely too much.

Overall it's just all right.

I have had Sushi in Tokyo, in Seoul, in Honolulu, in New York City at some of the most widely acclaimed places…none were better than Nori! It is simply fabulous…the master Chef is GREAT and a nice guy too! (I couldn’t wait to eat so the pics are missing food!)

Hard to book the seat for dinner. Not sure, may need to book 2 day in advance. Serves fresh, and beautifully presented sashimi. Keep in mind that it is a pricey sushi restaurant, but you can get what you pay.

One of the best place for seafood. We had the bento box and was more than enough for one person and reasonably priced with alot of variety. A must for anyone who loves fresh sushi !!

Wanted to say big thanks to Victor our wonderful server and the rest of the team for taking care of us tonight!

We loved everything, appetizers (edamame, wakame salad, tempura, great portion and price), we had some classic nigiri and rolls (the California was so good, also great price)

Had a few of the fancy rolls and loved the 911 with crispy onions. They gave me a piece of matcha cake and birthday song for my birthday! Overall a bustling place, hard working team, fast, delicious food (even the take out window beside us was popping off!!) not calm atmosphere but it feels lively and like you are at a big family dinner.

Got take out, the food was so meh, don’t get the hype. Never have I had to add soy sauce to aburi sushi for it to have some sort of flavor. The rolls are big but like too big, it was kind of disgusting to eat. Rice fell apart when trying to pick up each piece. We also had to wait an hour for an order place right as they opened and it’s def not worth and did not feel great after eating. The girl at the pickup window was also rude about the order being late.

Horrible experience. Their phone number is always busy and asking you to order online which we did but when we arrived they said our order didn’t go through and we would have to wait for one hour.
