Sushi
Nori Sushi offers both a sushi and an Asian fusion menu. Sit out on the large patio and people watch as you enjoy a plate of chicken lollipops that have been made with three Asian spices or a serving of sweet and chili tofu. Or choose to sit indoors at one of the comfortable tables and enjoy a plate of seafood pancakes or a jumbo lump crab cake. Nori Sushi offers several lunch specials such as the bento box with choices including teriyaki, tempura or galbi. Whether you come for lunch or dinner, sitting at the sushi bar is always an option where you can watch the chefs prepare your order of nigari or sashimi. Rolls and special rolls are also available. Nori Sushi offers a large drink menu with choices of red and white wines, sake and beer. There are several signature cocktails that can be tailored to your taste.

    Service was fair... We went early (4:30 on a Sunday) so not busy at all but waiter was not very attentive. Food was ok ... Softshell crab was spoiled and inedible. Rest of the meal was fine. We have gone here many times in the past when it was much better. This time might be our last.

    We were celebrating a late Mother's Day. This was, by far, the best service we have ever had at Nori. Michael was our server. He gave us the perfect amount of attention and certainly delivered on professionalism. And as always, the food is always great!

    Delicious appetizers and we arrived early for our 6pm reservation, which allowed us to enjoy Happy Hour prices! Dinner was strictly sushi for us. Our waiter recommended several rolls that were his favorites and we enjoyed all that we ordered. Large open area inside and seating outside, which we avoided due to rain on the horizon when we arrived.

    Nori Sushi on High St was a place I took some clients for lunch. That meal and service was outstanding, I have since been back twice for lunch and on this particular visit was there for a fun date night. Food is absolutely delicious and fresh. Service is the best I’ve ever had. From the great bartenders at the bar to the entire wait staff and the manager on duty, this is on my top 5 list for dining out. Great selections, you won’t be disappointed

    We made reservations but didn't really need them. I was surprised how empty it was considering how good the food was! In particular, the toro was well worth the cost. The only disappointment was that most of the maki rolls were centered around crab. I would have liked to have some choices where fish was more of the star of the show, especially considering the sashimi and nigiri we ordered was great.

    It was just mediocre as far as food for the price. The interior of the place is dated and old looking for a new restaurant. We expected something more high end given the location. It wasn’t anything spectacular and there are better restaurant options in the same complex.

    Restaurant had a funky smell and the wagyu skewer was over cooked and did not taste like it should have. Drinks, veggie tempura, chicken lettuce wraps were all very good.

    Our experience was amazing! We made a reservation and was sat instantly, the servers and hosts were extremely attentive and friendly. It was reasonably priced and had a great selection for picky eaters and more adventurous eaters. We loved the spicy edamame and tried 5 different special rolls as a group and loved them all! We will definitely be back!

    We went during a festival so the ambiance and noise level was great. But we got there at about 5pm so it was about 50% full. Still plenty of seating. Our food came out quickly. Having said that, it was incorrect. We got an extra roll we didn’t order and the waiter wanted to take the one that was already being eaten since that one was the one that was separate from the rest and the others were together on one plate. We had 2 couples at our table and when 1 couple got theirs they immediately started eating so to take theirs and to ask them to slit the others on the other joined plate was a hassle and awkward. Then halfway through the meal and after waiting, realized they forgot about the tempura shrimp. The cocktails took a very long time to come out. Although we were told the bar was backed up, our table got 2 rounds of beer before cocktails came out. Restaurant was still not even at 75% capacity. Can’t imagine when packed. On the meanwhile I asked for iced tea and sweetener. Asked for sweetener 3 more times. Finally arrived shortly before cocktails finally arrived making it almost pointless. Good points were that food was good and quick and happy hour prices are great. Keep in mind, cocktails are not 50% ice, more like 75% ice even though they are very good! Royal Peacock is close chef’s kiss even if mostly a giant ice cube 😂

    Sushi was fresh and outstanding as usual. Holly, our server, was excellent; never waited for anything and was very personable. She ensured we had a good experience. Noise level was ok but do prefer their other location for ambiance and less noise (and fewer families with kids).

    Sunday evening. Restaurant was quiet. Stood at greeter desk for some time before being greeted and seated…we had a reservation. Not sure they could make an Aperol spritz, then came back and said they could but didn’t know whether they had any. We pointed the bottle out on the shelf. Ordered drinks and looked at menu. Ordered sushi rolls and then suddenly told that they were short of sushi chefs and it would be at least 45 minutes…which was accurate. Food was good when it arrived…close to breakfast time! Would have made all the difference if we had been told up front about staffing issues and able to choose whether to stay or try somewhere else. Manage was new and clearly had a challenge on his hands. He did comp one of the rolls. If we’ll run, this would be a good place to eat. We weren’t in a hurry so pretty chill, but it was very disappointing.
