At Nori Bar, we make a darn good sushi handroll and are proud to say so. Our handrolls meet at the intersection of the freshest seafood from Hawaii and Tokyo, fluffy Koshihikari rice, and hella crisp nori. This isn’t your grandpa’s traditional sushi restaurant, but that doesn’t mean he won’t like it, too.


We built this restaurant to offer a high-quality sushi experience to a wider audience. So come in, kick back, and roll with us.

    Enjoyed the Rollmakase. For the price, good value. The crispy, crunchiness of Nori-excellent! Sake Flight: 6 different samples for the price, another good value. Restaurant very clean. And wonderful local music on their Muzak system. It’s worthy of a follow up visit 🤙🏽

    Weve been at nori bar a few times but last night, the serving of the hand rolls is almost half of the usual. Service was really good though

    Great Sushi bar spot! Not a lot of room so defiantly book a reservation but great value for what they offer. Simple, Fresh fish and overall a great experience. Tried their Rollmakase and was definitely satisfied after it all great flavor profile if you enjoy just simple quality sushi.

    Great experience! Venue is small with seating for maybe 12 people. Played good Hawaiian music and the "bar"tender and hostess were both great! Very quick service and the small venue meant it was easier to manage when getting our food. I'm pretty cheap but the quality of the food was outstanding and I was happy to spend a bit more given how great everything tasted and how quick it came out.

    Had an early dinner with the set menu that was quite good. Loved they would customise with less rice.

    Excellent! Young child was crying A LOT but the restaurant can’t really be blamed for that. Loved ordering digitally since the menu was simple and easy to use—didn’t feel like a chore.

    Staff was excellent! Food was above average. Sushi chef was grouchy. He cut fish then the iPad with same hand. Saw his knife touch the towel he used to wipe the counter. Not sanitary
