River West Restaurants

Tucked into a sleek, modern space, Noriko Handroll Bar offers a cozy and stylish ambiance that sets the tone for a pleasant dining experience. The menu focuses on fresh handrolls, and while everything is well-executed, it leans more toward reliably good than memorably great. The handrolls are fresh and neatly prepared, with quality ingredients shining through. However, none of them truly deliver that standout “wow” moment. The real star of the meal was the Crab Motoyaki—rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced, it easily outshined the rest of the menu and is worth a return visit on its own. While the cocktail list is limited, the drinks are thoughtfully crafted. The Puncha Matcha and Lychee Martini both stood out for their balance and creativity, showing attention to detail despite the small selection.

Great experience on the patio, food was outstanding

Great service and excellent food. Most beautiful outdoor space in the city.

We love the beers and food. Service is great. Love the pride theme they have for June.

Food was great, smaller portions which was expected and explained. Time limit at table seemed rather short for what youre paying and if you want dessert or after dinner drink.
