I ordered two different poke bowls and felt the quality of the food was not good! I'm disappointed the rice wasn't fresh, there were chickpeas and corn that tasted like they came straight out of a can. And the overall flavors were off. I've actually had sushi here before and it was quite good!

This spot is one of my favorites! Fair prices, big dishes and the staff are always nice.

This place was unbelievable. Service was fast, and friendly! Honestly, best sushi I’ve ever had. A Hampden gem!!!

Food: we began with fried chicken bao which was delicious! Their spicy Mayo was some of the best I've ever had! I ordered Kung Pao shrimp for my entree and it was delicious, but a bit expensive for the portion. My friend ordered a shrimp roll which came with Chex cereal as the crunchy on top. Water came with a pitcher for the table which was nice because our cups were never empty. I would definitely come back to try more options because the whole menu looked appetizing! Service: We waited a long time to be served. Then we waited about 10 more minutes for our appetizer to arrive. Entrees came out at different times, all a bit later. After bringing the check and swiping my friend's credit card, the server returned the check and quickly informed us a 20% tip is already included. There is no where to sign the check or indicate how much you would like to tip so this came as a huge surprise as he told us AFTER charging us.

Nori has great outdoor seating and a very extensive menu with a lot of different kinds of Asian food--ramen, noodle dishes, bulgogi, poke bowls and sushi. Service was great. The warm sake was delicious! We enjoyed the tempura broccoli and some rolls. Jalapeño Hamachi roll pictured. The miso soup was also really good!

A pretty solid meh. The lack of customers on a Saturday evening should have been warning enough. But I had previously heard good things and the menu said ramen, so we gave it a shot. We opted to sit outside, where they were initially blaring some early 2000's hip hop. No complaints on the music but it was crazy loud at first, which they probably realized and eventually lowered. Service took a really long time - maybe it was out of sight, out of mind? I'm not entirely sure what happened there when they were practically devoid of customers and there were a handful of staff hanging around. So I mentioned ramen; well, come to find out after being seated and ordering drinks that they were only serving sushi. They had a special of a free traditional roll if we ordered 2 speciality rolls. We opted for the Oriole roll, Rainbow roll, and shrimp tempura roll. The Oriole roll was literally drowning in spicy mayo and eel sauce (the latter not mentioned on the menu.) The shrimp tempura roll was fine - clearly the shrimp was cooked fresh to order, but it had more of a panko crumb crust versus a traditional tempura batter, which was unexpected. The rainbow roll, honestly, had such thin slices of fish on top. Kudos on the knife skills I guess but honestly it was disappointing as you could barely distinguish one bite from another. Truly unremarkable meal, so I suggest hitting up just about any other restaurant in Hampden.

Wow. Really? You decided to tip yourself without asking? We were a group of 4 people and you ignored us for the last half of our meal. We will never go or get delivery from these guys again.We tried this restaurant over and over, and have given it second, third and fourth chances. Food is only ok and the service is never good.

Good site for Asian food. Service is awesome even when they are busy. The staff was friendly and sociable. This place has a great feel to it. They have so many good reviews for a reason.
I ordered the tofu bowl with spring rolls. It was a to-go order. When I got home and opened the bag, there was no sauce for the dry/flavorless spring rolls. When I opened the tofu bowl, it had wasabi sauce over the tofu, which was good (but not great) and the tofu was placed over dry, unseasoned rice + dry, unseasoned noodles (see pic for the majority of my $12 bowl). I'm planning on using the rice and noodles tomorrow and seasoning them myself. All in all, it's an entirely underwhelming, disappointing, and overpriced restaurant. My recommendation is to avoid.

Last time I was there the person who took my order seemed really out of it. He was very quiet and as soon as I went in he like five things to do and I had to wait to order. I loved my sushi but it was a bit small compared to other places I been to. This was my second time ordering food from this place and the first time I had a lottt of food for my bowl of noodles but the second time something was quite off with my food. I noticed that he forgot my sause by the time I got home and my food was very dry and the the portions were quite small— unlike the first time when I came there. And they also forgot my drink which was WAYYYY to expensive. I would order from here again I just hope the experience is way better for the price I’m paying and since I’m a costumer I definitely deserve more respect.

Over priced. Sushi Rolls were the smallest I've ever had. Everyone was very nice but the quality of the rolls just isn't worth going back!

I am really not a fan of writing bad reviews. I take pride in being kind no matter what, but seriously Nori? And I've heard so many good things! And I've seen pictures of your food!The first time I ever ordered from you guys was maybe a month or two ago because no other Ramen place was open and I was craving ramen. I eat ramen and pho more than anything else in my life. I'm always down to try new places as long as noodles and soup are in my belly at the end of the day. But that first time I ordered, I got the spicy kimchi ramen with pork in it and I was disappointed when it was delivered and it was just noodles, pork, and an egg. The way it's advertised on Grubhub is deceiving. The description and picture show a bowl with kimchi and bok choy in it. Neither the kimchi (which is the main part of the dish) nor the bok choy were in my order. I didn't complain because it was my first time ordering there and it was during covid and I was hungry for ramen, so I let it go.BUTI ordered there again yesterday afternoon, feeling the same - nothing else was open and I was craving ramen and my partner and I had a long night for the holiday, so needless to say, ramen was the cure. I thought maybe this time the order will be good!I ordered 2 spicy Kimchi ramen bowls with added pork, steamed buns, and steamed dumplings.The only thing I actually thought was good were the dumplings. On top of that, they missed the kimchi and bok choy AGAIN.I paid 15 dollars each for those ramen bowls. 30 bucks total (plus the other stuff I got and taxes brought my order to around 80 dollars after tip)I paid 30 DOLLARS for spicy kimchi ramen with pork and both bowls had NO KIMCHI AND NO BOK CHOY. I feel ripped off at this point. The whole reason I wanted that dish was for the kimchi! There's not even that much ramen noodle! It wasn't filling or satisfying. I was really hoping for a better experience this time but how are you going to not give me kimchi when the dish is called Spicy KIMCHI ramen and make me pay 15 dollars for it. I could have made two packs of Top Ramen and felt more fulfilled. Maybe there's a technical issue when you order from Grubhub and that part doesn't show up on the ticket at your restaurant? But seriously, I was really annoyed. I didn't even want to write this review but someone needs to know. Wish I could get my money back :(

We had takeout from here last Friday night. Best takeout we have had in all of Baltimore since I can remember. Everything we had was great. Will make it a regular routine from now on. Couldn’t be better!
