Nori Japan... was probably the first place I ever tried teriyaki chicken all the way back in 2003 or 2004. I was blown away and by high school I was a fixture there ordering the teriyaki chicken with double meat, on rice or noodle, with no veg probably two to three times a month until I moved away. Then every single time I'm back home the first place I stop is at the Chesapeake Square Mall and sure enough the familiar faces that have been working and owning Nori Japan for years are there to greet me, they still remember my order, and the teriyaki sauce is still my favorite in all of the world and I've had teriyaki chicken in places all over the world from Tokyo to Bangkok to hell London to Hollywood and still... Nori Japan Chesapeake holds that #1 spot for teryiaki chicken for me. This place is an institution and a corner stone of the area. A a true blessing of a restaurant, I can promise yall that. P.S. if yall could tell me what your teriyaki sauce recipe is since I live across the country now... I'd kiss yall lol read more

I've been coming here for at least 4-4 years and I enjoy it! Food: the food is pretty good when consistent. Lately, one of the cooks will overcook the chicken and that bothers me. But, I typically interrupt and let them know not to burn it. But overall, good place to eat, cooked fresh, and freshly cooked veggies. Service: they are friendly and once they see you often they remember you and your order. Nice people. Ambiance: this restaurant is located in the mall so there is no real ambiance per se. Typical mall set up. Nothing special. read more

Nori Japan - 1/6/23 - waiting for meal - Japanese Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

Food is good, service could be a lot better. The female behind the counter can not take orders or admit when she is wrong. The chef heard my order but the owner did not ring me up for my dumplings. Then she Trenton make it seems to be the customer fault. How is it my fault her English sucks, and she doesn't understand. read more

Nori Japan - My favorite place! Teriyaki chicken and beef, vegetables and fried rice topped with yum yum sauce! - Japanese Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

I've been going to this place for awhile now. Out of all the food spots to eat in the mall, this is probably my favorite. However, you need to watch what you eat here. I can only attest to the Teriyaki chicken that they give samplers out for. I've seen other stuff and I don't know if going outside the scope of the chicken is a smart idea. My order is usually the same, Teriyaki chicken, fried rice, vegetables, and double meat. They are dead on consistent and really good at keeping the portion size the same. The only fauxpas is the service at times can be pushy. Although, I think it's just their way of trying to make $$. Other than that, the chicken is pretty darn good and I know I'll be back. Food taste - 4.5 Overall Service - 4 - depends Value of food to cost - 4 Facility - 4 Repeat customer? - yes Dog friendly? - no (mall) TL;DR - Mall food. But it's good. read more

First time trying this place, we got the chicken teriyaki and we'll we were disappointed, while the chicken is good, the portion was very small, we ordered for pick up and once we got home and opened it the rice fills the container 90%, veggies are 6%, and chicken is only 4%. We got one without veggies and that one looked that same with the chicken. At this time they're closing at 6pm and we ordered at 530. Idk if the closing time has anything to do with the portion sizing but for 9 dollars we spent on each of these tonight, we'll probably travel to Virginia Beach from now on. read more

Its almost impossible to walk through the food court of this mall and not have some Yummy Yummy chicken! Sometimes I'm not even hungry but they'll be giving out free samples and the chicken is sooo good you have to get on line and order food. I came to the mall specifically for some Nori Japan. The lady giving out the free samples walked up to hand me a sample and of course I'm still going to take it even tho I'm halfway on line lol. I ordered the Teriyaki chicken with vegetables and fried rice. They make it right there in front of you and it's truly delicious. I dont know what kind of sauce they use but when they top the chicken off with it I already know I'm in for a treat. Great place to eat!! read more

I understand everyone is raising prices, but to lower the quality and quantity at the same time seems bad for business. I don't mind paying the price for a good meal but over $50 for three carryout meals with double meat(not) /rice. With less meat than regular meat before the price hike. I even expressed my disappointment in hopes they would make it right. I was the only one there and the cook pushed a pile of meat to the side of the grill, they took no interest in correcting my meal. I have frequented NORI in the past but I've eaten my last meal from there tonight. read more

I dont even know where to start.... every other restaurant is pure trash compared to the heavenly Asian cuisine served here, the yummy yummy has to have crack in it or something because I spend way too much money here. read more

My family and I love eating here for dinner. The chicken teriyaki is amazing.This particular Nori Japan is located inside the food court of Chesapeake Square Mall.The only down fall is the line is always long because if how popular it is. A Nori Japan employee is always In front handing out samples of Teriyaki.The waiting time is also a little long.Other than that I love this place. read more

Nori Japan is not your typical chinese/japanese take out restaurant. Nori has extremely friendly staff and fantastic food. They serve affordable sushi platters or single meal sushi rolls for two. Their main dish is their yummy yummy chicken teriyaki. This can be substituted, of course, if you're not a fan of chicken. This dish comes with a side of vegetables and your choice of noodles, white rice, or fried rice. I always make it a point to stop by and grab some. read more

Best food in the mall! Always fresh off the grill and the teriyaki chicken is bar none the best around.

Amazing! Love going here! I wish they would open another location outside of the mall!

Ordered 25.00 worth of sushi (1st mistake b/c it's in a mall) since the pictures looked legit. Absolutely the most DISGUSTING sushi on planet earth!! Clearly it's not fresh, homemade, tasteful, appealing etc..... it looks like they went and bought all the reduced/expired sushi at Trader Joe's. If I could leave a -1 star I would!!!! I'd be embarrassed if I were the owners! I'll stick with Yama sushi read more

They are really nice people, with really great food. The portions are really good for the pricing and I love their sushi!

Not going to break the chain of 5 star reviews. Pretty basic food court set up but they do one thing and they do it well. Teriyaki "yummy yummy" chicken on rice or noodles. Every plate is cooked fresh and the line was always cranking for the hour we were there. They have other stuff, beef, shrimp etc. but stick to the chicken and ask for extra sauce. Kids devoured it. read more
