Sushi was good. But I don't feel like I got what I paid for. Everything was very expensive. They don't share prices online so you sit down and get the info. 2 rolls and a salad for lunch for $19 is a little steep. Other places do 3 rolls and a salad for $16. read more

i'm very been going there since they opened.... fantastic afood great serviced, kind people! amust! read more

If the word "aji" means something to you, this is the place that has it. Got invited for a sushi lunch and it was decent so we went back to try the dinner entrees. Nice presentation evoking Japanese home style: shredded cabbage with bean sprouts and a garnish of broccoli. The tonkatsu was nicely crispy. I loved the ginger salad dressing and husband thought it was the best miso shiru he's had in a long time (for the price you only get to have soup OR salad). The oshinko appetizer was overflowing and we took half of it home. Hardly any staff so you have to be patient with service. read more

Checked out this long time favorite in Glenview. It's one of the best places around for sushi. Nobori is a pretty nondescript looking place, but don't let that fool you. Has better looking and tasting food. There's good ways to save including the combos at lunch. After finding out about this place we made sure to come in the next time being around here. It's a bit of a ways from the downtown area along Waukegan Road. This is located in a pretty boring looking strip mall, but the food wasn't boring though. It's about $17 for a Lunch Combo. The Roll Combo comes with a choice of 2 rolls. Lots to choose from. We got a couple vegetarian ones: the avocado and the spinach. Except for being kind of small, these had some excellent flavor. These were fresh and we got pretty good service. Better place to get sushi it seems than among the places around here. It has really good value at lunch. There's lots more to choose including ramen and whatever. read more

Nobori Sushi - Sapporo With Lunch Combo Of Avocado And Spinach Rolls - Japanese Near Me - Glenview, Illinois

Ambiance average, but the sushi makes up for it. Definitely try the Chicago Fire roll.

This has been a staple of our takeout since we moved here more than 15 years ago. Mr Nobori, the gentleman who runs it, is personable and deeply involved in the business, working behind the counter, himself all of those years... Along with some employees, of course. For dine in, the room is nothing fancy,... bordering on spartan. No real ambience like some of the hipster sushi places. That said, the service is quick and attentive. And the sushi is quite good. Nice selection of nigiri and traditional, and specialty maki, along with a variety of other Japanese specialties. We have never been blown away, but we have never been disappointed, and I'll reiterate that it has been and will remain a take-out favorite for us. read more

I've been going there since it first opened. Have brought my family there and ordered carry out as well. Food is excellent always fresh and service is great. Very personalized. Sushi chef and owner are most accommodating and welcoming. A very good experience. Highly recommend it. read more

I've been meaning to try this for a very long time. There's no online ordering for lunch so you have to give them a call to place an order. Their lunch menu only offers combo meals, which I wasn't a fan of cause what if I just wanted one thing. There were also no prices on the online menu. I had called and ordered the udon and a roll. The udon broth wasn't bad. It was flavorful and has that seaweed/Kombu taste so they probably simmered it for awhile. I had the unagi roll. It was good, but nothing crazy special about it. But I would probably get it again. At first I thought wow $20 for lunch seems so steep, but then I realized I got 2 entrees which essentially are like $10 each so it's not terrible. But again, I would have preferred to pick whatever I wanted but their combo choices aren't bad. I wanna try their katsu next time though. read more

Seriously the best sushi. Made with care. Fresh. I love supporting a family/small business. They are always so kind and wanting to give the best service. This is our go to spot for sushi. Cannot recommend this place enough. :) read more

Excellent food! Great service!! Noboro-san is a wonderful host! We had sukiyaki and shrimp tempura.

My daughter and I liked the food here the first time we tried the place. She ordered Spicy Tuna and Crunch California rolls, and I ordered the Shrimp Tempura entree and a Spider Roll. The rolls were delicious, the portion size and quality were great and I also liked my Tempura dish. Service was friendly but it was very slow. The place was packed and busy on a Friday night crowd and yet there was one server in the entire place. The owner was helping clear out some tables from time to time but he was busy at the kitchen counter as well. A couple of weeks later, we were craving for some Japanese food again so we decided to give Nobori Sushi another chance. This time, even on a Friday night, the place only had one table occupied and I knew that this is an effect of COVID '19. I ordered the Rainbow Roll w/ Shrimp Tempura and Turtle Roll while my daughter had the Pork Cutlet meal. All the dishes were delicious and since the place was practically empty, service was friendly, fast and efficient. I love supporting small business owners with great products and an equally awesome service. I will definitely go back here and I hope that the business comes through strong during this tough time. read more

Super tasty and we love it so much here it is a super amazing setup and the food is great.

First, I don't like to write negative reviews, but I have some criticism to share. The food was decent, service was meh! The pricing is outrageous. I went in for a lunch special and was shocked that a roll and teriyaki dish was $21. I get inflation and all, but that is not a "Lunch Special," it is overpriced! I ordered a hot tea, thinking it would either be complimentary or maybe $2-3 since no price was on the menu. It was $5 freakin dollars and they didn't even refill. The decent food isn't worth that kind of pricing and no way should anyone be paying over $30(including tip) for lunch at a strip mall sushi joint! I wish them luck. read more

Ordered takeout from Nobori for an outing. Nothing fancy, just California Rolls, spicy tuna, and shrimp tempura rolls. All were excellent. Very tasty and fresh. I ordered during a busy dinner time and they still were ready very quick. I will be back to try the harder to make items.... Five stars. read more

After all these years and even after the pandemic, this is still our go-to place for sushi where the fish tastes right and the sushi rice is prepared properly. The rice always has the perfect balance of vinegar and sugar AND served at the right, warm temperature. Sashimi fish is always cut with the perfect thickness and tastes fresh. Miso soup is reliably good. Every nigiri, sashimi and sushi roll we've ordered in the past 10+ years has been consistently good. We are so appreciative of the care and consistent quality they put into their sushi and also other dishes such as ramen, fried soft shell crab and more. read more

I've only been here for lunch. Although the food is pricy, we come here every few months because the food and service are great. Setting is very casual. You start with a warm towel to clean your hands. Ask for tea, it's good! Sometimes you have to flag down the person because the staff is small, but food prep is pretty quick. The lunch combos are reasonably priced and you get a decent amount of food. For most items you can pick a salad or miso soup to go with your meal. For people who don't want raw fish, you can get items like - teriyaki salmon - oyster teriyaki (battered and deep fries) - unagi (eel) don with rice and radish read more

Nobori is a low-key, well-priced Japanese restaurant. The lunch specials are great and the food comes out fast. The specials come with soup or salad, and your choice of a roll. I'm a fan of the futomaki because it has the perfect ratio of rice to condiments (e.g. avocado, tamago, cucumber...). On my visit, I ordered tuna without teriyaki sauce. The bean sprouts that come alongside the fish are tasty too: the right amount of sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Overall, good food, good service. read more

Excellent food. Authentic Japanese. Hit or miss on some of the cooked items. For example, the agedashi tofu and tempura were excellent while the fried oysters and the grilled mackerel were okay but not great... Service is efficient without fanfare. Interior is passable- nothing special but clean. read more

Food was terrific, service was quick. The restaurant was peaceful and pleasant, also seemed clean.

This is the best sashimi on the North Shore. Generous quantities, excellent quality, very fresh, creative presentation. Small space that is NOT noisy. Great staff, owner usually on premises, the Sushi/Sashimi chef is very frie Another great meal at Nobori! read more

Nobori Sushi - Chefs choiceSashimi Deluxe! Best quality sashimi on the north shore. Small space, excellent service, NOT noisy. Absolutely delicious. - Japanese Near Me - Glenview, Illinois

Typical "hole-in-the-wall" sushi place in the strip plaza. The kind where you expect decent value at moderate prices. Nobori delivered quite the opposite. Basic tuna rolls did not have a full circle wrap of seaweed sheet and were falling apart. Poke bowl ordered with both tuna and salmon had only tuna, had 3/4 bowl of rice with very little greens or fish. Handmade roll seaweed wrap was soggy and left unpleasant aftertaste. Now about prices. I understand that given inflation and supply shortages many establishments raised prices. But charging $24.95 for a poke bowl described above is way out of line with other sushi places in the neighborhood. A nearby popular Kamehachi serves great poke bowls at $12/small and $16/large. That'll be the first and last time at Nobori. read more

Like: fresh ingredients used in the sushi. Dislike: overly sticky rice. Like: dinner combinations that include soup or salad and ice cream! Dislike: not served in a bento box. Boo. Me likey my bento boxes. Like: white meat chicken teriyaki. Dislike: charcoal-gas-stove-tasting chicken. Peculiar. Like: having a $25 restaurant.com certificate to use at dinnertime! Dislike: steep prices. A plate of 5 small dumplings and a rainbow roll cost me said certificate, with tax and tip. Like: prompt service. Dislike: out of place flat screen tvs playing the Bachelor during dinner. Bottom line: overpriced for the quality and quantity of food you actually get. read more

Nobori Sushi - Teriyaki chicken lunch. Huge portion, best teriyaki sauce, tender chicken. Soooo good!! (We couldn't stop eating to take this photo. Lol!) - Japanese Near Me - Glenview, Illinois

This is our new goto in the area. Service can be slow, yet it's not a big deal when you plan ahead. We go knowing basically what we want, order apps immediately and then wait for the sushi while we snack. We have been 3 or 4 times and the quality has been consistent and taste and quality are our main priorities for sushi places. So far Nobori has delivered on both quality and taste. read more

Honestly, I ended up eating at Nobori Sushi on the whim when I was on the way to eat at a different restaurant and couldn't find the other place. Nobori Sushi is located in a strip mall on Waukegan Rd and easy to spot. There are plenty of parking spots available in the lot and many different shops/services in the mall as well. Nobori Sushi is small in size, but has lots to offer. I ate here for lunch and was pleased to find various dishes on the lunch menu. I ended up choosing a katsu don (one of my favorite Japanese bowls) and the katsu don came with either a soup or salad. I opted for a salad. The dressing on the salad was absolutely fresh and tasty! Serving size of the katsu don was huge and I really liked how fluffy the katsu and egg were. Good thing I came hungry, since I was able to finish the whole thing! Service was overall great and my lunch at Nobori Sushi was a pleasant experience. I highly recommend coming here for the lunch specials! read more

Nobori is the family go-to place for Sushi. Nothing fancy, just good sushi. Good service also.

This is a solid sushi place in the suburbs in a really obscure location. Every time I leave a sushi review, I have to preface it by saying I'm a spoiled sushi snob who spent time in Boston and NYC and have eaten at amazing places in coastal Maine and SF and San Diego... Anyway, my boyfriend and I ordered 4 pieces of super white tuna, a salmon belly sashimi appetizer, the Chicago Fire roll, and a white tuna tempura roll. Everything was delicious except the white tuna tempura roll - it tasted like cooked canned tuna that was breaded and there was too much rice around the fish. I think we were expecting more of a crunchy white tuna roll. Oh well. The service was good, really nice waitress, and it seems like a lot of people get takeout from there. My main gripe with this place has to be the prices. I don't think there's anything about it that sets it so far apart from other sushi restaurants that their special rolls should be $18 on average. The white tuna tempura roll is considered a more classic roll and it was $8, so that's pretty steep for what it is. The pieces of super white tuna were $3 a piece which is more than other places, but they gave pretty sizable pieces so I'm okay with that. read more

This is my local go-to sushi place. It's pricier than others in the area, but worth it. They always deliver. There are a few little quirks about dining here, like they don't substitute almost anything--a little annoying. But for the quality of their food, it's worth the minor annoyance. I'm pretty picky about fish quality and this place has it. Personally, I enjoy this place. They bring you a walk towel for your hands before your meal which I thinkit's a little something extra. They also have the biggest selection of beverages I've ever seen at a sushi place. So, you know, there's that too. It's easy to miss as it's in the middle of a shopping center, and the sign is slightly hard to read if you don't know what you're looking for. But if you find it, you'll be happy. Hopefully. I am. Every time. read more

Their food was absolutely amazing. Had the Tofu Steak and Spicy California Roll. Very fresh and delicious. This was my first time here but won't be the last. read more

Hurrah for another unique lunch option in Glenview! And a quality one, too. They have a great lunch special--$7.95 for two rolls or $8.95 for a roll and either a noodle dish, a teriyaki dish, or a meat cutlet. Soup or salad included in any case. The sushi is fresh and very tasty. My favorites are the yellowtail and scallion and the crunchy California (although sometimes the tempura bits are more soggy than crunchy). They do a pleasant presentation, too--not Picasso-level but usually something more interesting than just six cylinders on a slab. Simply put, their udon is the best Asian noodle dish that I have had anywhere in the city or suburbs. So freaking good. Ugh, I have to stop writing these reviews before lunch... Service notes: Overall, gracious and friendly, but the chatty owner hovers around the dining room during lunch, and when I am there reading, he should take that as a cue that I don't want to be bothered. He does remember people though and if that is your cup of tea, will be happy to speak to you at length about the community, the restaurant business, and Japanese food. They screwed up one of my rolls in two of my first three visits. The first time was takeout and only upon reaching home did I discover a cucumber roll instead of a shitake roll. Ugh, a cucumber maki roll is about the boringest piece of food that I can imagine. Another time was in the restaurant when they gave me a regular California instead of a spicy California. No problems my last couple of visits though. I will probably come in here at least once a month for the forseeable future. read more

Not true Japanese. Sushi was good though. Cold Soba noodle was terrible!! I came here for lunch. I ordered noodle combo (1 roll and 1 noodle). I chose salmon roll which was great!! Cold soba looked nice, but it was terrible. Noodle was too soft and slimy which means overcooked and wasn't drained off enough or maybe cooling process went wrong. Dipping sauce was too sweet. I can't believe. I can't make sushi, but I'd better cook soba by myself. Decor wasn't my taste, but just like regular Izakaya + sushi bar style. Service was great. I loved the wet towel they provided. It was disappointed. If it's only sushi, it would work for me. read more

Wish I'd Walked Out. First, the prices are at least 25% higher than most of the other sushi places. That'd be ok if you got more--or felt like the product was superior. It isn't. Save your money.
