Placed just opened up, thought I would give it a try. Food was fresh, the service was on point, and the atmosphere was lively. When I asked if the crab meat was real or imitation, replied "it's imitation crab," so for me, I stay away from all the food that has crab as an ingredient. I will definitely be back for more sushi.

My family and I wanted to try this brand new sushi restaurant. Ordered takeout dinner this evening and it was ready as soon as I arrived. I was warmly greeted by the hostess and she held the door open for me so that I can return to my car. We ordered the Steak Teriyaki, Dragon Roll, Tuna Maki, Chicken Teriyaki, Chicken Yakisoba, and Spring Rolls with Garden Salads and Miso Soups. We loved our dinners! So delicious and prepared perfectly! Great Spring Rolls! I especially loved the dressing for my garden salad and my after dinner guava candy. We will definitely order again. I would love to dine in because the restaurant looks beautiful.

I brought my 10 year old son here for his first time trying Japanese cuisine. We both had the Hibachi, he had steak and I ordered the steak and shrimp. First came the Miso soup and house salad. The soup was savory but mild, and we both enjoyed it. The salad had a slightly sweet dressing. It was crisp and refreshing. The Hibachi had a nice smokey flavor, the vegetables were cooked to perfection being warm, but still crisp, and the fried rice was tender and moist. I would definitely recommend Nori, and will be returning frequently. If I were to make only one suggestion order your steak one step cooler than you'd prefer, but definitely still delicious! Ambiance was quiet and relaxing. Thank you for a lovely lunch Nori.

Excellent ramen. This was not overly salty as a majority of ramen is. The sushi is fantastic. White Tuna Nigiri was butter and the Salmon Nigiri was delicious. Chef showed off the sharpness of his knife and the skill on the salmon
