I miss the $1 nigiri, but it's time to move on. The new happy hour is good if not amazing, and the food, service and atmosphere are still great.

I can't really comment on the food, because the service was so frustrating I couldn't focus on anything except avoiding getting shoved by the waitstaff. They have no server station, so all food is passed over the sushi bar, shoving past customers while they are trying to eat. After the 7th "excuse me" I'd had enough.The chef was also coughing all over the fish without covering his mouth.

This is a great place to get dinner before hitting your favorite bars on Polk. They had the freshest, tastiest sashimi!We got the Spoon Set A, I dont even know what 4 fishes they were but they were all great. Even my friend who doesnt particularly like slimy things enjoyed them. We also got the monkfish liver, toro handrolls, victoria secret roll and the spicy tuna roll.Plus, the waitress was so nice - they were fine with accomadating no cucumbers in our rolls. We came on a rainy Saturday evening so there was about a 5-10 minute wait to get seated - if you add your name to the waitlist on yelp beforehand I'm sure you wouldn't have to wait.

Nora being a sushi restaurant open till midnight is an A+ in my book, The service was great even after arriving 10 before closing which I understand can be annoying for kitchen staff but was met with excellent service and food. Spoon tastings were amazing and rolls were filled with a lot of flavor.

I did not expect to love some of their sushi rolls as much as I did. The floral train is one of the best sushi rolls I’ve ever had in my
What a gem! Unassuming small restaurant. Popped in on a random weekday for their happy hour hand rolls. They were carefully made and composed, very culinary and thoughtful flavor combinations. Fresh ingredients and delicious. So happy to have found this! Staff was very attentive and kind. Come! You won’t regret it. Can’t wait to go back.

Visiting from out of town and found this amazing little place. The freshest fish, menu is not overwhelming, and the friendliest staff. Saw the great reviews and felt it deserved another. My favorite were the spoon tastings (buri toro was delish).

Got the chef's menu nigiris, uni hand roll (x2), and the spoons. It was very delicious and i LOVED the uni hand rolls. The flavor of everything was amazing and I definitely would recommend this place to anyone looking for late night sushi. The quality of the food is top notch

One of my go to spots for sushi in the city.The restaurant is casual with quick service, serving up delicious sushi. A must order is always the hamachi truffle app!The jalapeño gives it a little kick whilst the truffle ponzu sauce helps balance the heat, topped with crispy fried onions.
The BEST fresh sushi.
