   Nori presents a symphony of plant-based Japanese cuisine, a delicate dance of flavors that resonates with both elegance and vibrancy. Each visit is a journey, a discovery of refined tastes that leave one yearning for the next encounter. The artistry displayed in their creations is truly remarkable, a testament to the kitchen's dedication to crafting exquisite plant-based experiences. Our culinary exploration began with a soothing, heated brown rice green tea, a gentle prelude to the delights that followed. The Volcano maki, a masterpiece of textures and tastes, immediately captivated. This deep-fried roll, a harmonious blend of spinach, avocado, and sweet potato, was elevated to an art form with the nuanced layers of spicy mayo, unagi, chili sauce, Caviart, and tempura onion. It stands as a paragon of deep-fried rolls, a testament to Nori's mastery of flavor and technique. The Impossible gyoza, adorned with Ponzu, Negi, Chili Oil, and Garlic Crunch, offered a delightful counterpoint, a savory burst of umami. A seasonal tempura roll, featuring apple, avocado, and tempura tofu, further showcased the kitchen's creativity, a fleeting but memorable encounter with seasonal bounty. The Spicy Creamy Ramen, a revelation in plant-based comfort, was a highlight of the evening. The rich, spicy creamy broth, imbued with the earthy notes of baked tofu and shiitake, the briny touch of wakame, and the subtle warmth of shoga ginger, was a masterpiece of flavor. The kazami nori, corn, broccolini, and scallion added layers of texture and freshness, creating a harmonious and deeply satisfying experience. Despite its generous portion, the ramen proved irresistible, the broth and noodles consumed with an almost reverent appreciation. Nori transcends the ordinary, offering a dining experience that is both refined and gratifying. It is a sanctuary for those seeking plant-based cuisine that is not only delicious but also a celebration of culinary artistry. Each dish, meticulously crafted

   Nori never disappoints !! Although their water glasses give you a workout !! Which is “fine”. I just reminds me I need to exercise more !! But no, Ariel was an awesome server of the most delectable food, ever. Thanks Ariel Thank you for having a restaurant where vegans (plant based diners) can comfortably eat w/ out having to slice & dice a carnivore menu. Best, Elissa ❤️

   The food was good just a bit expensive. Most of the rolls were good, especially the mushroom one (I forgot the name)

   Food is yummy- absolutely love the lions mane steak dinner. Service is very spotty- forgot our app, charged us for it, never came back when asked for water refill, etc. Will return though- but hope service is better

   I have been to original sushi restaurants and I’ve always have had bad reactions to raw fish and such. Nori changed that for me. Had no worries and the setting was on point. We sat outside, my wife loved it. She and I agreed to come back every anniversary. Thank you for this experience!

    The food was delicious and service wonderful. I truly enjoyed celebrating my birthday there last night. We had the Brussels sprouts and they were sweet, spicy and beautifully roasted. The mushroom gyoza was accompanied by an apricot sauce that was unusual and yummy. Totally recommend the Sunflower roll with no-salmon on top. Finally the Japanese katsu curry with chic’n was a great last course. My very non-vegan husband absolutely loved it! The Old Fashioned cocktail and the Garden Party mocktail were both fantastic too. Will be back soon!
