    Always fresh and delicious! Love their new happy hour menu of getting a free drink with any order of a combo!

    Just recently came back from Japan, we already craving for sushi. Went to the Richmond location of Hello Nori. Very chic and zen looking and we love the booth seating. The hand roll set combo is what we came here for. I think the concept is pretty good and execution nice as well. Crispy seaweed and warm rice is on point and the progression of the flavours from lighter (tuna) to richer (snow crab and lobster) was a good idea. $30 for 6 rolls was actually very filling and reasonable price. Next time we will definitely try their nigiri sushi.

    In a recent promotion, Hello Nori had given away some vouchers, which I finally go to use in Richmond. The location is just across from Uniqlo in Richmond Centre mall. It not a big space, but the space is quite incredible. The wood installation that runs along to the ceiling to the back wall completely dominates the look of the space - beautiful and impressive. Even the quality of the chopsticks impressed me.. We arrived at open and were immediately seated. The staff asked if we had been to the restaurant before, and we said no, so they kindly explained the concept that everything is made and delivered one hand roll at a time so you can eat each one fresh. You make your order by filling out a form. I ordered one of the hand rolls sets and just as described, I was given one hand roll at a time which meant the nori was still crisp which made each bite that much better. Very enjoyable. Staff were very friendly and made us feel very comfortable and welcome. Considering it's not a full service restaurant (you pay at the register after your meal), I felt that they actually provided better service than most places. I should note that I've tried Hello Nori twice before. The first time was via UberEats, but because it's not fresh when delivered, it really tasted like any other sushi place, so I wasn't impressed. The second time was at the Japan Market, so the hand rolls were good, but without the high level service and in a tight space, wasn't as enjoyable. But having tried it now in a nicely designed space supported by great service, I finally understand the draw of Hello Nori. I would be happy to return.

    Great place for a medley of hand rolls. I love their seasonal choices and the truffle lobster was my favorite.

    Delicious hand rolls. Came for an early dinner and there was lots of seating in a quiet environment. Hand rolls are fresh and I especially loved the truffle lobster.

    What a pleasant surprise! This hand roll bar is tucked away in a quiet corner of the Richmond Mall. We came for their late night happy hour. Service was excellent: attentive, friendly, and efficient. We were promptly seated, checked on, waters refilled, hand rolls served in quick (but at a proper enjoyable eating pace) succession. Quality of the food was exceptional. I was delighted to find this level of sushi skill in a shopping mall. The octopus hand roll was the highlight of the night. Our chef grilled this tentacle in front of us with TWO blazing blowtorches. So soft, not chewy, and just enough bite for texture. I would love to go back for another one! The other items we tried were all off the happy hour menu. We got the BOGO oshi which just melted in my mouth. So good! Google taught me that Oshi sushi (Oshizushi) is a type of sushi from Osaka, a part of the Kansai region. It means "pressed sushi" or is also called "box sushi". Our sake was served in a masu box, which is a very nice touch. The sake is poured into the glass until it intentionally overflows into the wooden box to signify the generosity of the host. You then drink from the glass, and then when your glass is empty you drink the sake left in the box! What a lovely experience at Hello Nori. I had a terrible hand roll experience in downtown Seattle, and an OK experience at a different restaurant in San Diego. This place is #1 in my book!

    I always stop by Hello Nori when visiting Canada! We love the date night vibes since the lighting is dark and the food is super yummy! We normally get the 6-hand roll set and a cocktail which leaves us pretty full. Pre-tip we pay just under $100 which is pretty worth it for a nice date night. I'm not sure if it's just this location, but our rolls were PACKED with filling. Compared to the downtown location, the filling ratio is wayyy better here. Plus, this location has a waitlist and is in the mall, so we were able to walk around while waiting.

    Given the number of years Hello Nori has been open, there have been many occasions to go but I have yet to go...until today. Now that a location has opened in my hood at the most convenient mall...I knew I had to check it out. The restaurant has a very clean interior with an open kitchen and various bar seats arranged in a large circle. I like the concept that everything is being prepared fresh and in front of your eyes so you know the full process. The servers and chefs were all really kind in taking and preparing the order. We were recommended the 5 piece handroll which included negitoro, yellowtail, scallop, crab, and truffle lobster. This one is probably the most value if you enjoy all of these ingredients. The handrolls were all prepared on the spot and delivered to your plate. I was surprised at how crispy the seaweed was! The ingredients are fresh and the rice is the perfect level of warmth. My favourite was definitely the truffle lobster, the name is exactly what you get and the portions are decent. I was hesitant about this place because it felt very expensive for sushi that I could get elsewhere but I understand the time and quality that goes into preparing everything fresh and in front of customers for them to immediately enjoy. This place is great for a quick snack or when you're in the mood for a lighter meal. If you're feeling famished, it may be more beneficial to seek out a meal elsewhere unless you're really craving that crispy seaweed handroll. Would definitely return upon convenience or cravings!

    Yummy sushi w quality chopsticks and great packaging though I thought it odd to receive such a huge box for 4 tiny pieces of sushi. The bogo aburi salmon sushi was a nice portion and had nice flavor though a little oily. Spicy shrimp sushi was also good but not spicy and very small. One down side was parking was tricky w all the construction going on.

    great value for date night! loved the location for ease of parking and being able to shop before or after dining. came on valentine's day for an early dinner at 5pm and there were only a few people dining. we were quickly seated despite our whole party not being there. between four of us, we ordered either a 5 or 6 pc handroll, assorted bluefin sashimi, and a cocktail. fresh, warm rice and crispy seaweed all enveloped each of the raw offerings and everything was delicious! my faves were the snow crab and yellowtail. i'm not a fan of mayo, so the scallops were my least fave. took me a bit to figure out how to get into the hidden restroom, but that's user error! staff was friendly and hospitable. would love to see happy hour offerings.

    Love this place! Great happy hour deals, and hand rolls served fresh. Hello Lager and green tea & osmanthus cocktails are our go to drinks.

    Helene L.

    1. I had no expectations, never heard of this place (as I was visiting from out of town). Wanted to grab a light and it hit the spot! 2. I only tried the 6 hand roll- premium and it was delicious. Tender fish. 3. Service was excellent!! Staff attentive, you are introduced to the chef who makes your rolls, who serves you at the bar. Plus the server for drinks. 4. Ambiance was beautiful (just ignore you're in a mall)- sleek beautiful design. 5. Parking- part of a huge mall, so yes :) 6. Value - fair. 7. Recommend- if you're there, it's worth the quick or casual yummy bites.

    My friends and I were going to skip dinner but Hello Nori just opened at the Richmond Center so I had to try it! It was my first time but my friends had dined at other locations before. It was a late dinner so there wasn't a wait. Whenever I get hand rolls, I always have to opt for the 6 hand roll set! I definitely love trying all the fish. Usually the scallop is my favorite but I think the toro and yellowtail here were so good. Everything tasted fresh and buttery. The rice was cooked perfectly and paired well with the nori. Service was good and they were very accommodating as one of my friends changed her order from a 6 hand roll set to 4. The restaurant was very spacious. They have an open kitchen concept since it is all bar seating. I wish there were more hand roll spots at malls, it is a great snack or meal!

    Parking is easy as it is in a small mall…read more The service was very good. Our tea was always topped up and the servers were cheerful and very helpful. We sat in a separate section of the restaurant with 3 tables at the front. We ordered chicken wings, assorted tempura, miso black cod and an order of beef teriyaki that was not on the menu. The servings are very small for the prices charged. We found that the chicken wings (only 4 small wings) $9.50 were a bit dry. The tempura batter was not as crisp or crunchy as we've had. The miso black cod was a very small portion - maybe 4 oz. for $18.00. We did not feel that there was value for the money. The food was average and the prices were too high for the quality and amount of food received. We did not enjoy the anime that was playing and we were glad that we were not sitting in the main dining room. Overall, we feel that there are better options for a Japanese meal.

Sashimi and sushi were just ok, a bit below average. Tempura was decent. Chicken skewers were too salty. Fried rice was also ok, pyramid style presentation was good. Cheese cake was half frozen. Overall, food was below average. However, IKEMEN cafe event was excellent. It was a lot of fun and service was great. I will revisit IKEMEN cafe event if they offer in the future.

The menu contains a variety of rice combo dishes that you can select (pork, chicken, beef, fois gras, curry) and a tempura noodle set as well. Occasionally, they also have specials as well. My boyfriend and I ordered the beef set and the tempura noodle set with pork. I love how there are a variety of side dishes that come with the set. This is great for those who like variety and want to have a complete meal with all the food groups. My favourite is definitely the pickled daikon/carrot and the cabbage salad! The food is not too salty and the broth was perfectly seasoned for my palate. My boyfriend also ordered an espresso romano which I had never tried before. The foam on top was surprisingly refreshing with a tart aftertaste of lime. The prices were also very fair with most sets averaging around $19-20 before tax. You order at the counter and pay after you're finished. This is a great place for a quick bite especially if you're in the Ironwood area of Richmond.

All the courses came with their own sides which was great!

I normally hate overcooked salmon but I wouldn't say this was overcooked. Beef course 5/5 the egg was beautifully cooked. The beef was plentiful and I love the addition of the ginger. Udon soup 4.5/5 you get your choice of beef, pork or chicken. It comes with a side of tempura. It was good! Hot and fresh. I love that the temprua was not in the soup. Mango soda 3/5. Refreshing yes. But I expected it to be sweeter or have more mango flavour. Also, if you post a photo on social media, you get a free order of prawn tempura which was nice. Overall we had a great experience. Will definitely come back again!

However, Saku may have won me over with their sharable combo set. My friend and I came in for dinner last Wednesday. It was quite busy for a weekday and we waited around 30 minutes. I loved the interior of this place! It's clean, but warm toned, and stylish. We opted to share the Zenbu set (comes with variety of pork, chicken, cheese, seafood and veggie tempura) and realized we could get refillable rice, soup, and salad for both of us. This was awesome! I was pleasantly surprised by the chicken thigh. I normally always order pork katsu, but the chicken was tender and juicy. The scallop was huge and not rubbery at all! There was more than enough food for the both of us and we even both had leftovers for lunch the next day. We also ordered the lobster croquette, which was fun to try. Like any croquette, there was a lot of mixed ingredients apart from the lobster, but it was still tasty and fun. The staff were attentive at refilling items and were easy to flag down. This is definitely a place that I would return to again and again when I'm in the mood for Katsu.
