Great friendly service. Ladies were really nice and offers us samples so we could decide what to order. We enjoyed the fresh yummy teriyaki chicken! Was perfect and tasted fresh. The noddles were cooked right and they didn't use an immense amount of oil like other places. They had food ready in less than 3 minutes to my surprise. Our food was cooked on the spot. They also had tons of drink choices. A huge plus! We don't like regular sodas. Very happy and will try and come here again. Highly recommend it! read more

Easily the worst food I've ever eaten. This in no way resembled Japanese food at all. I ordered a bento box with tempura vegis instead of shrimp. The only thing that I could stomach was the rice and sushi but they didn't even have wasabi. They used some sort of ranch dressing on the salad instead of the sesame every other Japanese restaurant uses. The vegis were disgusting. They seemed to have a similar breading to my two. Year old's Dino nuggies. This was literally inedible.I threw most of it out. Please do better and for the love of god. CLEAN YOUR deep fryer! The oil is old and rancid! I can't believe I paid $19.00 for that gruel! read more

Nori Japan - Nori Japan. You think it looks bad?!? The taste was ten times worse! Really disappointing. - Japanese Near Me - Auburn, Washington

Great food, but the customer service is usually terrible. The staff acts angry and like they don't want me to buy their food. I probably won't go back. read more

I ordered two chicken teriyaki meals. One of them was supposed to be double meat for an extra 4.99 but there was no difference between the regular and the double. I watched them prepare it and what I got was mostly crumbles and tiny bits instead of real pieces of chicken. The meat did not even look like chicken. It looked more like thin shredded slices than actual chunks of meat. On top of that the staff offered no customer service. No smiles and no friendliness. Overall it was very disappointing and I would not recommend eating here if you expect a decent portion or real cuts of meat. read more

The food is delicious and flavorful. The service is wonderful. The ambiance is a mall food court. read more

I asked the girl if they do mall discounts. As an employee of a retail store in the mall. She said yes, but I have to show my badge. We don't use badges. She wouldn't give me the discount because I don't have badge, which my store does not use. She then told me I was only allowed to use the mall discount if I'm working that day. Umm. Why do you think I'm not? Completely rude, completely useless. Also. Still confused as to why their fried rice is orange? In all my years of living, I have never seen orange fried rice. read more

Nori Japan - Chicken teriyaki. - Japanese Near Me - Auburn, Washington

...such an annoying experience. I ordered the Teriyaki Chicken, upon ordering I watched the cook immediately start frying up some fresh chicken while to his left was a pile of already cooked chicken that looked like it was there for a while. I waited about 7 or more minutes for the chicken to cook then I watched him pour some Teriyaki sauce on the pile of meat that was sitting there before he started to cook and then serve me that pile....needles to say the chicken was hard, dry and aweful. I asked him why he had me wait and was just ignored. Never going back. read more

I should stop getting my hopes up for the food to look like it's picture. It definitely taste as bland as it looks. read more

If I could leave this place a 0 I would. Terrible food for an insane price. I ordered chicken teriyaki and it looked more like random guts than chicken. After I took my food back to get a refund the guy working said they could only do exchanges. Awful service horrible atmosphere. DO NOT eat here. read more

This place is seriously horrible on there food and there service, never had such a bad food in my lifee

Teriyaki chicken here is inconsistent and flavor is lacking. I do not feel the food is worth the cost here. I had shreds of chicken (scraps), while my friend had full pieces of chicken. Plus, we didn't realize that they charged us for the pricier tempura udon instead of the vegetarian udon we ordered until we were almost done picking at our meal and found the little baggie of shrimp tempura they set to the side. I do not recommend eating here, just a waste of money. read more

Came here with my family and ordered food and water as the beverage. They stated that it was one drink per entree despite the fact we just wanted a cup of water... not bottled water but literally water from the tap. They also charge $.075 per refill but again, we ordered water. Food was dry and bland. Food came without soy sauce or any other condiments. Do not recommend and will not return. read more

A MAN'S MAN Review of Nori Japan Whoa! Let me say that this is probably the worst place to get a bento box! After today's experience I wouldn't even recommend any of the other items on the menu! Don't let the pretty flat screen TVs displaying the item menus and pictures of the food you think you'll get fool you! It's a trap! Ordered the bento box with large drink. Total... $16 What comes with the bento box? Teriyaki chicken on steamed white rice, salad with dressing, California roll (4pcs), pickled ginger, wasabi paste, shrimp tempura (2pcs), sweet potato tempura (2pcs), and 1 packet of soy sauce. Now... what I really got! Decent but at the bottom scale factor teriyaki chicken on steamed white rice, salad with unknown white dressing (wasn't even sure if it was ranch), California rolls that wasn't fresh, pickled ginger, runny & watered down wasabi sauce, from the frozen section of what was probably from Grocery Outlet breaded style panko crumb shrimp that is no where near a tempura batter (2pcs), breaded panko style sweet potato (2pcs), and 1 packet of soy sauce. See photos below! Now, the only thing that tasted good was the extra napkins that was given to me. The teriyaki chicken was okay but not something that I would recommend. The salad was fresh but the white sauce that was put on top of it was salty and I hope it was ranch dressing. I only took one stab at it and that was the end of that. California rolls... ain't no way you can mess up a California roll! If it was anything else it would have been the death of me and my stomach! I'm surprised that I'm still alive after eating one piece! The wasabi sauce looked watered down... it was a sad view! Now to the tempura... I honestly said "WTF" to myself at least 20 times! The sh*t I got was not tempura! It was breaded panko style frozen shrimp from the freezer aisle from Grocery Outlet! Same with the sweet potato tempura! I didn't even know you could get panko style sweet potatoes! I just couldn't do it... I didn't feel like playing around with death so I tossed the entire bento platter. It was no wonder I got a sh*tty meal! They had the "D Squad" on deck! Two sweaty looking old Korean dudes that probably DGAF... I guess the bento platter was good for this other dude because homeboy was throwing down on it like he DGAF! I wouldn't bothering giving this place a try if you value your life and your money. This place gets a thumbs down! read more

Didn't really read the reviews until I ordered my Chicken Teriyaki and checked in on Yelp. If I did, I might have gotten lunch during my shopping break somewhere else. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't something I'd order again. They did give a lot of rice, and that may have been the best thing, because the rice actually had good texture the way I like it, not mushy. The teriyaki chicken didn't have a good teriyaki flavor, and they weren't so generous with the side of veggies. And the service wasn't the friendliest. But I was starving from my shopping, and I ate almost all of it pretty quick. read more

Nori Japan - Chicken Teriyaki - Japanese Near Me - Auburn, Washington

Two of my friends chose to eat at this place on 5/28/19. Two of us got the worst stomach aches and were planted in the bathroom that day. The next day my other friend got his share of the bubble guts. I really don't understand how this place is still open with all the negative reviews and the poor quality of food. Two ordered chicken teriyaki and I got the bento. The chicken was horrible. Wasn't cooked properly. Tough to chew, way too much sauce and so much salt. I don't know what it was but the bento came with a deep fried patty. It had zero taste. California roll tasted and felt old. Clearly wasn't fresh and resembled california rolls from a convenience store. read more

I don't know how this nasty place is still in business after reading all their reviews. I was served disgusting old food at 5:25PM that looked and tasted like it was left over from noon lunch hour. I went back to ask for fresh food and they gave me more old food I would not dare to eat for free. Also, I specifically asked if they had a shrimp only soup and was told 'yes' but I was served seafood soup instead. I went back and asked for a manager was told there was none available. I then asked for a refund and was declined. So I disputed the charge w my citi card and they refunded my money immediately! read more

Wish I read the reviews first. We usually settle on Sarku Japan at a mall food court, so we thought... well, this isn't Sarku but hey? They're all the same right? This place was nothing like Sarku. Sarku isn't even that good but it at least has flavor. Their soba noodles were sooo oily. We were grossed out by the time we were finished and we asked ourselves afterwards.. why did we keep eating it? Nothing else more to say. Would never eat here again. read more

Undercooked, barely any sauce, and the portion of chicken is really poor for the price ~$10. Recommend you steer clear of this place. I love teryaki and this is the actually the worst. read more

Don't go here! Their health inspection rating is one up from the failed level. I ordered vegetable spring rolls only and they were ... okay. But anyway, fast forward a few hours and I got HORRIBLE cramps and was forced to the toilet for hours. If you don't want to get food poisoning or stomach pains from DISGUSTINGLY unsafely cooked food, AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. read more

I will never buy anything from here again. We asked for tempura vegetables but got cabbage, matchstick carrots, and a couple broccoli. They charged $5.40 and argued I did not order the tempura. Unfriendly service as well. read more

Chicken is pretty gross. Even my 4yr old had problems eating it. The best part about the bento chicken box was Cali rolls tempura shrip and rice. Egg rolls good Ramen chicken soup was good. Wife didn't care for the qualy if the chicken either. read more

food was undercooked and I got food poisoning that night and day after :l

Sesame chicken was all flour, hard, dry and very little chicken actually most of it are flour. Chicken was dark brown might be an old chicken. Never again read more

Don't go here thinking this is Sarku. The setup is the same, the prices are similar but the product is lacking. The chicken even looks similar, but it's horrible. No flavor and dry. Even when cooked fresh! Save your money. Go to dairy queen or the Filipino place read more

Had the vegetable ramen, fresh zucchini, carrots, cabbage. The noodles were great and the broth was also delicious.

Best costumer service after taken your card and charge you! Then the attitude and rudeness begin! Make you feel bad and yell at you when you asked for water!! The food suck too! read more

My mom ordered their teriyaki chicken and the texture was of rubber don't eat the teriyaki chicken unless you like eating rubber bands that taste like chicken left in the juice over night and dunked in teriyaki sauce. But I don't care what anyone says them egg rolls is actually good. Sorry not sorry read more

I should probably dish out a 1 star but I am going to give the benefit of the doubt because I came late in the evening and they probably didn't have their freshest game on. I had the deluxe bento box $11.99 plus tax. (No drink) it looks like a pretty sweet set-up. Side salad; supposedly miso-ginger but it tasted like a weak ranch, California Roll; INEDIBLE, it was dry and tasted terrible, tempura shrimp; also INEDIBLE, fried all to hell and I don't think there were any shrimp inside, ALSO, to make up for that -they gave me "extra" - I received some coin purses (no filling in them any longer, it looks to have melted out hours ago, they were old and tough, I tried one gyoza and quickly put the thick-dry skinned rock down before biting all the way through. Moving on, I tried the chicken and rice...tastes and looks lovely (finally!!!!) but the chicken wasn't really chopped up so it was all connected in one piece pretty much. Not cool when you're trying to show off your swag chop stick skills! Boo, pizza or Mediterranean for me next time!!! Can't go wrong with those two in this food court! read more

Wow. DO NOT EAT HERE! My family just got back from the mall and we all feel horrible. The only thing we had in common was that we all ate here. You have got to be kidding me. We knew something was weird when we ate the chicken teriyaki (had Sesame chicken too). Had a weird taste to it but just thought it was the sauce. This is my first Yelp review that involves food poisoning. We normally eat at the Gyro place in the food court, but thought we'd try something new. STAY AWAY! They had the chicken on the grill and seemed like it was just sitting there for a long time. They had it in a large pile with a cover over it. Very chewy and dry. Geez. I'm so upset....what a crap place. read more

I order chicken teriyaki over cooled meat and very oily..my daughter ordered the vegetarian Ramen, she ended up spiting it out because the broccoli tasted like chemicals. I ask the girl up front what the brocoli had been soaked in she said it was just steamed. That is not good. I tasted the broccoli it definitely was some kind of chemicals on the brocoli. Dont not eat there! Miserable food...and they are putting something in the broccoli. read more

Please don't waste the $10+ on ramen here. I've had a better broth from a powder pack. The noodles were stiff and flavorless and there was just some random vegetables that don't even usually go on pork ramen (dry onion, daikon, carrots, and coriander). Overall terrible and heavily over priced food. I had a bit of the pork and some of the broth (after dumping nearly a pack of soy sauce for flavor), eventually I just threw most of it away. read more

I'm still torn. I want to give them 1 star, but, considering that it's food court Teriyaki, and it's edible, I gave them 2. $6.99 for a plain teriyaki that is mostly rice with a few pieces of chicken and $8.99 for ramen that would have tasted better if I would have had an instant ramen packet to use instead of their bland broth. Actually subpar for even a food court. read more

they are rude here when I walked up I was a greeted with a what do u want. Then the lady kept cutting me off cuz she couldn't hear me do to the masks. She didn't even hand me my food just pointed and didn't even give me a straw read more

If I told you about my experience here you wouldn't want to eat here let alone pay to eat here. They mocked, insulted, and lied to me. They thought them being rude was funny. Refused to give refund. Not only will I be disputing this purchase but I will be contacting the Better Business Bureau and whoever else. read more

Probably the worst food I ever had in my life. I will not eat this food even I get pay 10 bucks. I ordered hibachi chicken and It was pan fried chicken with non flavor.
