I have been here twice for lunch and plan to return again. I will say this last time the service was slow but the server said it was his first week. My first visit here, the service was super quick. I enjoyed the beef lunch special and the chicken teriyaki too but the beef was my favorite, I highly recommend. The chicken was not cut up thinly enough so it felt tough and dry. The miso soup was perfect and the cucumber sunomono was authentic. The salad dressing was also something I was impressed with as it was light and not overpowering. I have not tried the sushi yet but intend to next time. I would highly recommend to anyone who likes Japanese food.

We went for a quick lunch on Wednesday afternoon, this restaurant is located in the corner of high street. The ambience is intimate and upscale, it is a great place for date night or just a romantic dinner. However we sat outside for lunch, their lunch menu is pretty great but the prices are on the higher end. I went with sushi combo and it came with miso soup, salad, sushi, sashimi and more. Everything tasted fantastic, fresh and really refreshing. The fried dumpling was a little salty for me, the sushi was good but not the best. Overall a good place and had a good lunch. Service was quick and the server was very sweet.
All was great. They were out of Toro and Uni. While I would rather have no Toro and Uni than bad Toro and Uni, I still can't give 5 stars to a sushi restaurant without quality Toro and Uni.

Convenient, intimate, solid. Especially in an area with so much good sushi, I would not say I was blown away by the food. A friend and I split a spicy yellowtail roll, a rainbow roll, and an entree. Each unique bite of the rainbow roll was tremendous, but the other two dishes weren't as exciting, especially considering their prices. The orders' relative mediocrity provided an opportunity to ask myself why I still enjoyed this experience so much. In addition to amazing company ;) they were open until 11 that night - much later than most restaurants of this caliber. When we got there, the friendly host sat us immediately and quickly had a server take our orders. The dishes came out one at a time, so right as we were finishing one, the next part of the meal arrived at the table. The restaurant itself is beautiful. Tucked in the corner of what I assume is a pretty busy area, it has a clean and modern atmosphere that allows you to relax and enjoy a meal among the busy Phoenician outlets.

Drew was very kind and allowed us to eat in 15 min prior to closing, as we had just flown in from out-of-town. Really enjoyed the garlic black rice and tempura ice cream.

Wow! I am celiac. Usually, my outings end with/ that statement. Tonight - I had the privilege of dining with the help of a server who really understands “gluten-feee” and gave me the best best advice. My husband enjoyed sushi (all sauces on the side) and I felt confident to enjoy our selections with him. Will absolutely go back ! Thank you for a delightful evening.

Sushi was very good, Wasabi was weak. We ordered the Lollipop, Rainbow, and Sakana Trio. All 3 dishes were very delicious!! Excellent service. We ordered Long Island Iced tea, and the drinks tasted like lemonade.

I had the Miso soup and the shrimp tempura and loved it. The place was very clean and modern. The restaurant was much larger than I expected. It was not busy at 6pm on a Friday night. We went there prior to a concert at the MIM! Nice choice!

Nori stands out as our ultimate sushi haven, surpassing all others. The sushi is unparalleled in freshness and flavor. The menu offers a perfect balance of traditional favorites and innovative creations, ensuring there's something for every palate. Our favorites include the crispy tuna, gyoza, ahi tuna poke, the sashimi sampler, Las Vegas roll, ahi tuna tataki roll, and the big eye diver roll.

The service was not good. My food was made incorrectly and it took 15 -20 min. to remake it. They didn't even offer me anything as my friends were eating. I just waited. Food was good when it got there though.
Nori restaurant staff charged me with someone else's bill. I paid my fair share bill, but they never removed the charges for this second bill. I notified the manager, Nathaniel who assured me they would return the money. I spoked with a second manager and he asked me to allow more days. I called daily for a week in an effort to retrieve the overcharges, but to no success. Now, the managers refused to answer my phone messages. The messages were given that they would call me back, but they never did. I can't believe they would charge me for food that I did not order. The manager acknowledged the error but never corrected it.

Was seated and no one came to the table so we looked around for a bit looking confused as to why especially since people who were seated after us were waited on. A manager came to take our order then gave it to our waitress Nalyar…..lets say she was horrible she would ask us something while walking by never a complete stop at all. Never came to check on us or anything, and it was not busy at all in here so I could not understand.. had to ask the bus boy for water. Because of the jazz festival 18% gratuity was automatically to the bill which doesn’t mean we deserve bad service. Food was below par, temperature was at room temperature lacked flavor just not appetizing at all.. By far the worst experience during my weekend stay.
