About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Healthy
Charming

At Nori Bar, we make a darn good sushi handroll and are proud to say so. Our handrolls meet at the intersection of the freshest seafood from Hawaii and Tokyo, fluffy Koshihikari rice, and hella crisp nori. This isn’t your grandpa’s traditional sushi restaurant, but that doesn’t mean he won’t like it, too.

We built this restaurant to offer a high-quality sushi experience to a wider audience. So come in, kick back, and roll with us.

お料理はどれも魚の味をあまり感じらなかったので、お寿司のオーダーは３つで止めて、ラーメンを注文しましたが、豚骨スープにサンヌードルが入ったラーメンは、小さな焼豚と薬味が入ってるだけで16ドル😱すぐに飽きてしまい、ラーメンも少し残しました。煮卵くらい入っていたら、最後まで飽きずに食べれたかもです。サービス、雰囲気はとても良かったと思いますが、このお値段を出すなら、もう少ししっかりお魚の味を感じたかったです。

Dining in Nori Bar for the first time was a wonderful experience. It’s both a cozy and boujee feel for the size of the place and the atmosphere that is present. The lighting is dim and welcoming and the servers are attentive at all times. The chef was warm and friendly and made every piece of sushi with elegance. The taste and the quality of the food was amazing and for the price you pay, it was worth it. Recommend it!!

Perfect quick lunch. My fave is the aburi nigiri. Everyone is super friendly and they finally got rid of the pesky flies!

For the price paid, the rolls should be bigger. The food quality is high, but just not worth the price point. The seaweed nori is excellent, and the staff are very friendly.

The first time we went to the Nori Bar and thoroughly enjoyed the food there. Our favorite was the crab truffle kanimiso! Such perfect combination had to order another along with their Hokkaido Uni! I felt sorry for the sushi chef because he was the only one servicing the entire bar, but he did a wonderful job and didn’t make our wait that long considering how many people were there. The only thing I did not like was the stools which were made out of steel without any padding which made it uncomfortable, especially since I was having some sciatic issues at the time, but that will not stop me from going there again and again!

Good for small groups - 2-3 people, but the absence of tables makes larger group interactions difficult. One must be able to navigate the online menu and ordering system. These were not always easy to do.
