About KazuNori: The Original Hand Roll Bar

KazuNori: The Original Hand Roll Bar is a gem in the heart of New York City, offering a delightful experience of Asian cuisine and Japanese culture. This hand roll maki bar is reasonably priced and tip-free, with excellent service from the staff, who deliver better than expected. The nori is crunchy, the rice is warm, and the various smashed raw fish create lasting impressions. Standout hand rolls include the lobster, bay scallop, and the yellowtail roll, while the iced green tea remains a recommended non-alcoholic option. The 5 hand roll set is a must-try, allowing for substitutions if preferred. It features clean, refreshing flavors that make each bite a joy, especially the yakimo handroll. The seating is bar-style, and while it is dimly lit and the chairs may be uncomfortable, the experience is worth it. Despite the occasional wait, especially on busy nights, KazuNori is a great place to visit after work or for a business casual lunch, making it a quintessential part of New York City dining.
