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.

    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

    Great service and food! Perfect for a catch up with a friend or date night. Try the omakase course. Make a reservation!

    My daughter and I had a quick lunch and enjoyed ourselves. Fish quality was very good. We ordered salmon nigiri, ahi (medium fat) nigiri, and salmon nigiri. Ahi melted in my mouth and my daughter raved an about her salmon. We also ordered a spicy ahi handroll and unagi handroll. Ahi handroll was tasty, but unagi was a little lacking in flavor (it could’ve used a little sauce on it). I also ordered the mini char siu udon. Noodles were good but the broth was unfortunately very bland. Drinks were from cans, but at least they served it in a glass with ice. Wish there were refills offered. All in all, it was a pleasant experience. We will be back, and we’ll bring the rest of the family with us.

    Food was good, staff were super friendly and had great customer service. We celebrated my birthday and they surprised me with a wagyu and candle on my ice cream. The rollmakase was so worth it!

    The barstools are sooo uncomfortable and tiny. I felt unbalanced the whole time. We got attacked by tons of pesky fruit flies so that was a turn off. The part I absolutely hated and will not return is their fake weirdly textured smelly wasabi. That’s just a crime especially at their price point.
