Customer Reviews
Everything was so good IDK where to start. First, appetizers, the nori fries were SOOO good. The fries are soft inside and crunchy outside, seasoned well with nori and other seasonings. The mentaiko dip compliments the flavors and with a hint of truffle makes it a delightful experience. Handrolls are just like the ones at Matsunori, just slightly smaller, but not lacking of any flavors. The main course: bento boxes, my friend and I got the Yakiniku and the Maple Mustard Fish Chips. Both super delicious, and melt in your mouth. It comes with rice, miso soup, and a flavorful salad. Which flavors all compliments each other. Service was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was clean and unique. Really good, def recommend people to eat here! Parking was easy, parking lot was less than a minut
The atmosphere and music were very cool. everyone was very friendly and welcoming, I arrived at 6pm and there was already a good amt of ppl, looked really packed and the food came out super quickly and was super delicious! The toro takuan handroll tasted really fresh and was the perfect bite. The takuan highlighted the freshness of the toro and was defiantly my favorite handroll of the night! The beef tongue was super high quality meat, would recommend to everyone that comes! The service was excellent and they always made sure to check up on us and ask how everything was. 100% will be back, great dining experience!
Norinori, the service is definitely top notch. The beef tongue bento box was excellent. I liked the dipping sauce that came with the beef tongue set, but I preferred the sauce that came with the roll even more. I just feel like it tastes better with the soy sauce for my personal preference. I ordered the miso butter cod also, and it was very good. It was pleasant, easy to eat, I really enjoyed a hint of miso favor and aroma. Overall, the sides were good. The miso soup was amazing, and the salad that came with the meal was very enjoyable. The service was excellent. The food came out quickly and smoothly, and the whole experience felt easy and comfortable. The environment was great. Overall, it was an excellent experience and I would definitely come back.
Where do i even start ? Nori Nori ? More like yummy yummy ! Upon entering, the lighting and design of the restaurant captivate your eyes immediately. the menu is not too complex so navigating through was nice and easy. I had to start off the with the nori fries and i’ve got to say im a huge fan. The fries themselves were delicious but the nori seasoning is something i’ve never tried before. They were so addicting that i could not stop eating them and ended up ordering 2 servings of them. I then tried the chicken nanban and the maple mustard fish chips. The chicken nanban consists of a juicy and tender piece of fried chicken with a japanese style egg salad and the combination of those ingredients find a perfect balance. The fried chicken itself seems lighter and almost feels healthy in the
I went to NoriNori during their soft opening and tried the Yakiniku, Beef Tongue, and Miso Cod bento boxes. The highlight of the meal was definitely the beef tongue. It was cooked perfectly and paired really well with their special rice. We also ordered the nori fries twice because they were that good. The nori seasoning with the mentaiko mayo was super addicting. Another standout was the handrolls. Coming from someone who loves Matsunori, I really appreciated how affordable they were. The toro takuan handroll is a must order if you go. Our server was amazing. She did a great job introducing the menu, recommending items, and checking in on us throughout the meal. She was super attentive and always cleared our plates quickly. The overall vibe was very casual with dim lighting and a locat
