Delicious hand rolls in greenpoint! We got a mango shrimp and a spicy ahi tuna roll and they were both equally delicious! The fish tasted super fresh and the flavors were delicate. Very fulfilling without making us full. The service and ambiance were 10/10, sleek minimal decor and the service was so great. I asked for a cold green tea instead of hot because it was a very hot day and they accommodated it. I really liked this place and would recommend. read more

I went to Knori for lunch last week with a friend. The restaurant is open and clean, with a sushi bar in the back right. There is a lot of seating. Service was good. I was honestly a little hesitant to go because of the sushi push pop thing. They have a lunch special, which I ordered. I tried the following dishes: Scallop Carpaccio (4/5): A good carpaccio. Came with roe on top. No complaints. Salmon Cucumber Hand Roll (4/5): This was a good hand roll. The fish was fresh, and the cucumber was crisp. Knori Bowl (4/5): A little smaller than I thought, but it was a good amount of food. The uni, scallop, and turo were all great. I honestly didn't love the flavor profile of the rice -- maybe a little too sweet for me. Overall, I had a good experience at Knori, and I would return if in the area. read more

I was walking back from the Brooklyn Experience Half Expo when I saw a sign for the viral sushi push pops. I stopped in and purchased 2 tubes which each included a tube of soy sauce. I had heard that sushi push pops were more gimmicky than quality, but I still wanted to try them anyway. I was happily surprised at the quality of the rice and the fish. There were also a lot more pieces than I was expecting. I got the two most popular according to the hostess - spicy salmon and shrimp mango. Definitely want to come back and try their handrolls! read more

Had a spontaneous dinner at Knori with a friend last night and was positively surprised! It's a pretty restaurant with attentive service. They have a good selection of hand rolls including some vegetarian / vegan options. I choice the miso soup, the avocado-cucumber and the tamago roll. Everything was delicious! my non-vegetarian friend also very much enjoyed her sushi and found the three rolls she tried very flavorful. Will definitely be back! read more

Pleasantly surprised and satisfied with this new handroll spot on Greenpoint Ave. it's a great addition to the neighborhood. A friend and I enjoyed this delicious meal during a Friday long lunch. We both ordered the $36 Classic 5-piece set (tuna, kampachi, salmon, scallop, shrimp) which also came with a salad. We both LOVED it. Tip: they allow small dogs during lunch hours (unsure about dinner) read more

I enjoyed dinner here on a Monday night (I knew we'd be able to get the seating we wanted if we chose a lower-traffic dining day). My partner and I were celebrating, so we chose the Chef Tasting Menu. It comes with an appetizer, fresh fish and handrolls. I was not sure what to expect (like would the appetizer be just a serving of edamame??) but I was pleasantly surprised! The appetizer had an array of 3 hearty bites featuring fresh seafood! One of the pieces was a toast with toro, uni, roe, and caviar!! I needed to take several bites to eat it, which was fine with me because I wanted to savor it. :D Second course was nigiri which tasted really good and were large pieces of fish. The handrolls were great quality too, and at the end of the meal my boyfriend and I left full. I recommend the counter seating, specifically the one facing the kitchen curtain (so perpendicular to the work station), because we got great views of the sushi chef! The service was on top of it as well- cleared our plates when we were done with courses and brought more water etc. I do wish the sushi chef shared more about each of the bites once he handed them to us, ie. the type of fish/seafood or the ingredients that were paired with the nigiri. read more

RUN don't walk to Knori Hand Roll Bar in Greenpoint! This spot has the best of both worlds - fantastic a la carte hand rolls and a 10 course omakase with a delicious dessert at the end. I sat at the counter and got to see how fresh the fish was for every single dish! The chef and staff here are incredible and attentive and the atmosphere is ideal. Above all, the food was truly impeccable - and you absolutely cannot skip the A5 Waygu, the snow crab, and the shrimp hand rolls! I also cannot recommend the "chef tasting" enough to get the best of their whole menu, including the crepe cake which was off the charts amazing! I'll be back soon to revisit every single dish I tried!! read more

Borderline scam place. The portions are super small and they are selling as 'hand rolls' what amounts to just one peace of sushi size wise. 15 dollars (plus tax it is 17) for that thin slice (see picture). I almost walked out of this scam. There is a good chance the current reviews are fake as I can't. Believe this place is liked by anyone. read more

Knori is such a great surprise. I had walked by this restaurant a few times and finally decided to sit at the bar for dinner. The setting is unpretentious and low key, yet the food is remarkably elevated. The hand rolls have layered, subtle flavors that don't need soy sauce. But I also have to note the soy sauce, ginger, and wasabi are clearly high quality. The wasabi was very gentle, fresh, and bright (definitely not the powder type). I ordered the following hand rolls: salmon avocado hand, scallop, shitaike mushroom, and snow crab. ALL were divine. The service was great too. The sushi chef explained what was included in each hand roll, and the server was really kind and attentive. I highly recommend. I will be back! read more

Excellent and unique dining experience. Very casual - good for lunch or dinner! Would go back.

HUGE FAN OF KNORI!!! I've lived in Greenpoint for years and this is my new official go to sushi spot (for delivery too- it actually holds so well)!! I've had a lot of sushi in Greenpoint / Williamsburg: kanahashi, amami, verge, etc - and while those are good, knori is my absolute new favorite due to the consistency and quality. The staff is very kind, and I love a no frills easy walk in spot. 10/10 recommend!!!!! read more

delicious! great fresh fish, the salmon was super buttery and soft. definitely coming back for the scallop! read more

We just went to Knori for the first time tonight and it was delicious. Food came out quickly and it was fresh and light. The staff was nice as well. We will be back soon! read more

The hand rolls are buttery fresh and delicious. They have sets or you can order individually. I tried 6 different rolls and everything was 10 out of 10. The service was incredible as well. They were so attentive to everyone and the vibes are so chill. I come grocery shopping over here and this will have to be a regular stop for me. read more

Nice addition to the neighborhood. The service was great and the portions were generous. I tried one of the sets of hand rolls and appreciated the chefs attention to detail with providing the rolls in a unique way to keep the seaweed fresh and crispy. read more

We showed up around 6pm and were seated at a table. We ordered shortly thereafter and got four of the premium sets, the scallop carpaccio, and the seaweed salad. The scallop carpaccio was great (just whole scallops, not sure if it should be categorized as carpaccio) and the seaweed salad was standard. We were told we couldn't switch the garden salad which comes with the handroll set for the miso soup (miso soup was $5 vs the garden salad was $8) because it's a palate cleanser before the hand rolls. Somewhat odd but rules are rules and if the chef thinks it goes well then great. We receive the garden salads at the same time as the appetizers - didn't like the dressing it was not light and refreshing nor was it the more classic orange dressing. We then proceeded to wait 45 minutes before our handroll sets arrived (mind you, the restaurant is not at all busy and they appear to be sending out some mobile orders before the in-person orders of the ~7 people in the restaurant). Palate, no longer cleansed. The soy sauce that they brought out was a tiny drop in a dish and two out of four of us ran out and wanted more - bizarre item to skimp on. The handrolls themselves were served like Nami Nori with the plastic on because we were not sitting at the counter and was fine but nothing special. If you like Nami Nori, you'll like it. Service needs work - would have been nice for them to at least apologize/acknowledge waiting an hour between ordering and receiving the handrolls was ridiculous. read more

YUM amazing hand rolls that were big and high quality fish. So excited they are opened here!! Great service, casual vibe. Love it

Just ate here, they are amazing!! Their service is great and their food even better!!
