“The sushi is always the freshest, whether talking about the salmon, tuna, wrappers, fruit, avocados, whatever the ingredients are it is the freshest! The staff are amazing, whether hostess, wait staff, Sushi chefs, even the bus crew everyone is friendly and professional. Patrick is eager to tell you about the food as much as he is about how he and the rest of the chefs have all been friends for years. This is the type of place that you keep going back because it is always amazing!“

“Absolutely blown away from the quality of the salmon 🍣. It was buttery tender and delicious 🤤. This place is now my regular.“

“Started my sushi journey here about 20 yrs ago. Have not been in about 3-4 years until now. So happy to see that it remains the best around. Odd place for a business to do so well so that speaks a lot for the food and service. If you have not been there I highly recommend you experience it. Don’t let the storefront keep you away. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“My husband and I love this Japanese restaurant. They have a variety of Japanese dishes, and a delicious desert option. The chicken teriyaki and sushi rolls are the best, and the deserts are delicious. Great variety of sakes as well. We recommend!!“

“awesome food and service. staff makes everyone feel special“

“Hello reader,

Food:
I’m fairly new to the area and I was in search of a good sushi place and Nori Sushi did not disappoint. The selection and prices are amazing. Today I ordered a chicken katsu bento box and the vegetable fried rice in order to try a variety of food. The katsu was amazing and so were the California rolls. I did also enjoy the cabbage slaw and salad but personally I’m not a fan of too much dressing or slaw but they were still enjoyable.
Customer Service:
When I walked in I was initially greeted and able to sit wherever I wanted. I also receive excellent service throughout the duration of my meal.
Atmosphere:
The atmosphere visually is good and the place has a nice vibe. They chose very nice decor and made great use of the space here. I greatly appreciate that. Also from what I’ve noticed the place seems to be a “mom and pop” kind of place and I also appreciate this too as I like to spend my money with the local businesses rather than large corporations.

Thank you very much for the experience and I will definitely return 🙏12-18-25“

“We first heard about this place on social media. We were a little skeptical to try it, but decided to give it a chance. We shouldn't have waited! The all you can eat menu had many options to choose from. Everything looked and tasted delicious! We will definitely be back. The great service and clean environment were a plus too.“

“The food was amazing! I always love hole in the wall restaurants because they are always the best, and this one was no different! Staff was very polite and quick! Will definitely be back! Ordered the Volcano roll, with wonton soup and a spicy cali bento box!“

“I brought my mom here for lunch yesterday. The waiter that served us had kind of a crappy attitude honestly. In some moments he was nice but my mom asked what comes on a bento box because she's unfamiliar and he told her "it's on the menu". She just wanted someone to explain it to her because she was confused by the sushi and the meat options. Obviously not an item she orders often. She asked what the meat is for (i think she thought you get sushi or meat she wasn't understanding it was a part of the box) and he looked at her like she was stupid and pretty flatly answered the question. It embarrassed her. My mom is a really kind hearted person so it was frustrating watching someone make her feel dumb for asking a question in an unfamiliar environment. Sad. The food itself was good. The waiter likely was having a bad day. I've been a server and understand. But wish he'd been kinder to my mom.“

“Absolutely amazing and authentic Japanese izakaya. I’ve been to Japan and here they have same dishes with no rolls, just real Japanese recipes. It feels like short travel to the small izakaya in the fisherman’s village near Osaka. Thank you and highly recommend ❤️🥹“

“Our server Casey was exceptional! We had 19 & a baby. Everyone's order was exact! She's phenomenal! The food... So incredible! Everyone at this place is amazing from our waitress to the chef. I sure hope these people stay in business. They made Mother's Day and 2 birthdays wonderful!! Hats off to them!!!♥️“

“I had a coupon for this place and decided to try it out
And I was NOT disappointed.
The service was excellent, the decor was cozy, and the food was divine. The miso soup was perfectly done, not too salty, not too bland, but nice and hearty. The chirashi bento was amazing. Instead of the usual meh salads they give you squid and seaweed salad which were delicious. The half tuna rolls were more tuna than rice and were fresh and delicious. And the chirashi was just heavenly. Each piece of sashimi was topped with its own seasoning to really bring out the flavor of the fish, complimented by the high quality rice and salmon roe underneath. I was so satisfied by the food I ordered dessert and got to taste the amazing tempura cheesecake. Though pricey, it was worth said price. I left the place full and happy and will be back. 10/10“

“Excellent food and very good service.“

“Really enjoyed the experience eating at the Japan house in North Richland Hills today. The food was excellent and our waiter Micah was awesome. I highly recommend the place and we will definitely be back“

“Food is awesome! We will be back.“

“I love this place! they never disappoint. My daughter ordered the baked salmon and I enjoyed the Valcano roll...( Delicious) I also appreciate the great service. I will definitely be back! ☺️“

“Keep trying different Ramen variants. Each one is tastier then the last, but all sooo good. Very friendly and totally authentic compared to Ramen dishes I enjoyed in Japan. Super fresh ingredients. Very fair price. Great atmosphere and service. I’ve started going back once/week.“

“This is the BEST sushi in the business. I’ve had it all over the country and Miss Kim still makes it the best. $1 sake night on Tuesday reminds you of walking into cheers.

Cannot recommend this place enough. And for your picky people who don’t like sushi, Toby on the grill in the back is awesome too. They have food for everyone.“

“Uber eats delivers this delicious and nutritious sushi, sashimi, and nigiri. I want more now! I got so much I saved some salmon for lunch the next day and it was still good. Try the tuna and unagi. Plenty of wasabi and ginger for all the fish. No rice pn my third order. Price was a lot.“

“Absolutely amazing experience! Deepa provided outstanding service from start to finish—warm, attentive, and incredibly friendly. The food was just as impressive. The Spicy Tonkatsu Garlic Ramen was rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with just the right kick. And the takoyaki was delicious—crispy on the outside, soft and savory inside.

Highly recommend! I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“Fun friendly atmosphere, great service, and delicious food!“

“Combo fried rice. 5* - wife said it was some of thr best she'd had.
California Roll. 5* - kiddo devoured it.
Soft Tofu Soup (beef). 2* - lacked generally in flavor and spice. Lacked any depth.

Banchan (side dishes) are good and an added bonus.“

“Excellent food. Had the garlic edamame, house salad and yellowtail love roll. Can’t wait to go back.“

“The first time I went there the sweet-and-sour sauce was like water tonight. It was much better everything was delicious.“

“The best teriyaki in DFW area! Great taste and fresh food with a good portion size for the price. Even during the lunch hour, the service is quick and friendly. Highly recommend this place!“

“We had so much fun going here for a day date! Our server Tong had great recommendations for rolls and wine. We also got to try a new roll that wasn’t on the menu yet. Amazing food and atmosphere!“

“very good! we loved it, and will be back“

“I tried Zena Sushi for the first time and was seriously impressed! I ordered the Omg, Las Vegas Roll and the Sashimi Bowl—all were absolutely delicious. The fish was incredibly fresh, and everything was beautifully prepared. The flavors were well-balanced, and the portions were generous. On top of that, the service was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!“

“The sushi and nigiri were excellent! You can tell that the owner is very passionate about his craft. We will be regulars there!“

“The food is amazing. Tomo is my new favorite restaurant, not just sushi. The service is always good and the people are great. Let’s pack the place and make sure this business makes it.“

“I’ve experienced consistently great customer service from Manager Marco at Hanaya Sushi Restaurant. Every visit, he goes above and beyond to make sure guests feel welcome and taken care of. Marco’s professionalism, attention to detail, and friendly attitude truly set the standard for excellent hospitality. It’s clear he takes pride in both the food and the guest experience. Thank you, Marco, for always making each visit to Hanaya an enjoyable one!“

“Oh my gosh, this place was absolutely amazing. I’m not from this area and have been looking for a new go to sushi place, and this is it. Our waitress was a star, she was on top of everything. Even after we had boxes and were paying the bill, she refilled my drink! Which never happens. We had a chicken katsu, mountain roll, Hawaiian roll, and a Dallas Stars roll and my god they were incredible. The presentation, the amount, THE TASTE. We also had enough left overs for another whole meal. ALL FOR UNDER $100! I will be back time and time again, could not recommend this place more.“

“Their all you can eat option is so worth it!! My partner and I will make the hour and a half commute about 1-2 times a month for their sushi!!! I highly recommend this to any sushi lover!!“

“Some deep fried sushi really hit the spot after work. i got their hurricane roll and tornado roll. Between those two, i have to say my favorite is the tornado roll. Both were delicious though. i look forward to returning soon.“

“Excellent service , friendly service & yummy food“

“Amazing place! Food quality is of the highest! Had the spicy chashu ramen today and I was completely blown away! It was delicious! I definitely left with another order to go!“

“We absolutely love Foster’s. The food is always delicious and the staff are great. They are very attentive and always smiling. We eat here at least once a week.“

“Yes, affordable but classy. Great food“

“My coworker introduced me to this place, so I went there for lunch.
I think I'll be using it often in the future. The price is really the best. Fried rice is under $10. Most of the food is around $10, so it's really cheap.
The amount of food for one person is enough for two. The taste is also excellent.
The side dishes change constantly.
Since it is self-service, there is less burden on tipping.
There is nothing lacking.“

“the Food is so delicious my wife and I and our 3 kids love it there I also love their cowboy California Roll“

“WOW! A hidden gem! This is such a cozy sushi spot - I wish I lived closer. I ordered the salmon ahi tower and a dragon roll and was shocked at the size of the portions - definitely a pleasant surprise! I expected to just have a small dinner but this enough for at least 3 meals. The food is so fresh and made to order. The chef is so sweet! I’ll definitely be back soon!“

“We have been here twice for different celebrations and are so happy with our experiences. Amazing sushi and wonderful service!!“

“Good staff and good food they cook the food in your face“

“They happily offered a nori substitute for my salmon sushi (delicious). The Shuman and beef takami were perfect. The clear soup is a palate cleanser (no flavor). The only disappointment was the fly that had me arm flailing throughout the meal.“

“Last night was a very special night. Great sushi and our waitress was amazing. If I could put her name down I would but I can't remember it. We will definitely be back. Great job to everyone for a spectacular Valentine's Day dinner date.“

“This is a great little sushi place. We've ordered from several places in the local area and definitely like this one the best. We've eaten here 4 or 5 times and are never disappointed. We have tried the Crunch Salmon, Super Crunch, Tornado, Cowboy, California Roll, and Green Hulk just to name a few. All were very delicious.“

“The quality is great and service great as well! For the price I wish they served miso soup or offer udon or ramen as an option to compliment the rolls then it would be 5/5. I’ve been dining here past couple years and quality is still great. Other Japanese AYCE restaurants taste good too but they put too much MSG! I like to come here to pamper myself.“
