This was our first visit here. The service was great and staff was friendly. There was a good selection of sushi, it was fresh and we enjoyed all of it. Bonus that we were able to bring our own wine.

Everything was pretty standard sushi fare, I thought just a bit better than average. Sweet potato fries were just OK. Service was great!

I went to Nori for the first time on Saturday and it was fabulous! We had the cutest waitress who was very attentive and the food did not disappoint! I HIGHLY recommend the Sakura Tuna! We even got our waitress to try it! It is also BYOB which is a bonus! It also wasn't crazy busy and we didn't have to wait to be seated at all! I can't wait to go back!

This is definitely a great neighborhood sushi spot. It's not the best sushi you'll ever had (I'm so sorry, I'm bougie and have had high-quality sushi in Japan and at omakase) BUT it's good sushi in a very cute spot with a very great staff. I'm personally a big fan of the decor and the vibes, with a special shoutout to the koi wallpaper. The waiter recommended the sea emperor roll and that was yummy, but they also have straightforward sushi and regular rolls I recommend if that's more your style (I think I prefer those generally, but the signature rolls were fun). I had a first date here and because the place was small and uncrowded, the staff was subjected to our conversation. If any of the staff read this and want to tell me your Thoughts about my date conversation, I would love to hear them (message me here / add me / etc.). T

I have no idea why this restaurant is not more busy. Their sushi is exceptional. Their rice could be a little better but their fish is fantastic. I can't speak much to their more fancy rolls but their nigiri has been delicious and affordable. Service has always been wonderful. This place is a gem of a neighborhood sushi bar.

Forgot to post this on Wednesday night. Me and a best friend went there for dinner. It is his 1st time there I've been there before. The restaurant is small and it's fine. You can see the chefs making the sushi. The music was low but you can still hear it. For starters we had drinks. I had the pomegranate martini. My friend had the mango margarita. Both drinks were amazing. Then he had a Japanese beer. We order edamame as a starter. The main course we both ordered is Boston Maki (Tuna and Avocado) it was amazing. He orders the Fire Dragon Maki (Tempura Shrimp, Avacado Wrapped w/tuna and topped w/spicy shrimp, scallions, and sweet sauce). I order Dragon Mski (Tempura Shrimp, topped w/unagi, avocado, and unagi sauce without the mayo). The chef's special was Toro (Fatty Tuna). The service was great. Our server was nice and friendly. For sure we will be back.
