KazuNori: The Original Hand Roll Bar

I knew I wanted 2 try this restaurant when I attempted 2 visit & realized I needed 2 pre-plan bcuz the line is consistently out the door! The line seems 2 move at a steady pace... so patrons don't spend 2 much time lingering in seats - The neighborhood folk definitely know about this gem! Menu is small and simple which makes 4 a successful operation! Top 1/3 of menu a bit confusing but we figured it out... it represents number of hand rolls ordered and corresponding price - So 3rolls=$16 / 4rolls=$20 / 5rolls=$25 / 6rolls=$29 Food is fresh and delish! I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor of the rice! It has lemon juice and provides such a beautiful dance across the tongue palette! If you're n2 beer, try the non-alcoholic Soporro! The flavor profile is extraordinarily similar 2 its cou

I have been to other KazuNori locations, but this was my first time at the MDR one and being that I live walking distance from this location I was really excited to try this new spot. The location is hard to beat, it’s right by the water and the anchorage where all the boats are docked. The shopping center is in between the water and Admiralty Way which is the main street in MDR. The first two hours are free parking in the shopping center it is located in, but this location does get quite busy and given that they don’t take reservations the line can get quite long if you go after 6PM. Inside is basically one giant wraparound bar. You sit at the counter and order one of the hand roll meals or you can do à la carte Nigiri. I will say that I am a huge fan of Sugarfish and would prefer that o

First time here! We came around 2 PM and waited about 40 minutes because it was so popular. The hand rolls were super fresh and delicious, and the specials that day — monkfish liver and uni — were incredible. Would love to come back and would definitely recommend it to friends.

This location is great. You get a view next to the water and the service and food were phenom. Get there early. We were there at 12 on a Sunday and the line wasn't too bad. We waited 20 minutes for 2 people. It spacious enough to roll in a stroller but they don't have high chairs. So don't expect one. I fed my son in his stroller a little rice and fish and he was fine. He, thankfully, did not scream and go crazy to the rest of the restaurant. We had a 5 set and added another handroll. They were all good. Toro, yellowtail, crab, scallop, lobster, shrimp and salmon. The salmon sashimi was really good too. Everything tasted very solid. The price wasn't bad. They don't take tip so it's just included 16% on you receipt. I'd return!

Meh. It was tasty, but I think the service could have been way faster. I didn’t really enjoy how long it took between each roll. It’s more satisfying to have it up front or at a faster pace in my opinion. Also no appetizers or anything? Seems like they could at least have some edamame or something. It was all okay. Better for lunch than dinner. Afterwards I went and got a burger at Hiho. LOL!
