I genuinely do not understand how this place is only rated 3.7 -- Nori Nori is a solid FIVE STAR experience from start to finish. Maybe I lucked out because it wasn't packed to the brim when I visited, but there was still a good crowd -- and even with that, everything flowed like clockwork. There was plenty of parking, and from the moment I stepped in, every staff member I encountered was warm and welcoming. The space is huge with lots of seating, so even on a busy night, I doubt you'd be waiting long. Now let's talk about the real star -- the food. Every single item I tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The sushi selection? Impeccable. We tried almost every roll they had, and only two didn't hit our palate -- but even then, they were still crafted well. As soon as anything started running low, the staff was already in the process of replenishing it. No empty trays. No delay. Just nonstop quality. And while the sushi is worth the visit alone, don't overlook the rest of the buffet. Crawfish. Fried soft shell blue crab. Hot dishes galore. The variety was next-level. And then came dessert. The tiramisu? One of the best I've ever had at a buffet -- maybe anywhere. The matcha ice cream? I could write an entire review just on that. Creamy, rich, and perfectly balanced. I wish I had saved room to try the made-to-order crepes, but after an hour and a half of food bliss, I was stuffed. Our server was also phenomenal -- funny enough, she shared the same name as my grandma. That alone made it feel like I was meant to be there. And at $40.99 per person? Completely worth it. No rushing. No hovering. Just a laid-back, high-quality dining experience. Let me put it like this: I rarely write five-star reviews the same day I visit a place. But I had to tell the world about Nori Nori immediately. If you're in the area -- or even if you're not -- do yourself a favor and check this place out. You. Will. Not. Regret. It.

The sushi was delicious and relatively high quality given that it's served buffet style instead from the menu. The hot items were delicious too especially the bulgogi, salmon, and even the lamb at the craving station. The dessert selection was small, but the food from there especially the crepe was yummy.

Literally side dishes only

Went in for lunch and how do they charge $21 and it's side dishes in big plates?? Sushi were mid and were falling off. This section on the picture was literally side salads and side dishes lol. So many ayce lunch with the same price point with actual food variety to choose from.

I've been here before Covid hit, and I've been here after that. I definitely think things have changed, but the majority has remained the same. I come here for dinner with my mom which is around $45 per person, and you get every option available for lunch, and sashimi, crepes, hibachi, snow crab legs, and oysters. It's definitely less busy than the past, but regardless you have to wait in line to get snow crab legs or oysters to get a chance to try some. I've never had an issue with their quality of food or service and had remained consistent after all these years. I recommend coming here and eating your moneys worth, but also trying the variety in sushi rolls and food they have! I also recommend the matcha soft serve!!

Come hungry. If you come for dinner they have all you can eat crab legs which are constantly being turned over because people are loading up. They've got sushi, they've got ramen, they have all of your standard hibachi favorites. There is so many things to try here to include matcha ice cream for dessert. Everything is actually made fresh and it is worth the price of Entry

I remember growing up in Alabama taking road trips to Atlanta just to eat at Nori Nori. I've been a regular since then and now that I live here in Atlanta my wallet is losing weight, and my body is gaining it. The sushi is always freshly made with high quality ingredients. Their hot food could use some work as it is on the basic side, but I usually go there for their sushi bar. The service is always so welcoming, right when you walk in, a nice big aquarium with a bunch of colorful fishes greet you and sets the mood. They also have a poster board mimicking an Instagram page for photo ops. The parking is also super easy as they share a lot with a shopping center and there's ample amount of it. As much as I love this place, the main reason I am not giving them a 5 star is because they did recently increase their pricing, but no improvements or changes were made on the service or food provided. The bathrooms are also tiny, and need some love. Not to be graphic, but for a buffet, you'd think they'd have more than 2 stalls, and on top of that the last few times I've gone, always one is out of order. I also noticed they started making their sushi rolls smaller to most likely save on cost. Personally, I love going here during lunch, because the pricing for dinner is not worth it for me. The have a few extra items such as sashimi and crepes, which don't warrant for almost twice the price.

The food is perfect. The restaurant is so nice and cozy too. The service is okay. The price is expensive for dinner. For lunch, that's still affordable, considering you will eat a lots of Sushi and Sashimi.

Not the place for me. All you can eat Japanese food, sounded good at the time. The restaurant was clean, the service was good, the food was fresh, but I left feeling that this was just another Asian buffet at twice the price. The selection of food was good there were maybe 50+ items along with a good selection of sushi rolls. They kept the food fresh, but most items that I tried, were lacking flavor. Bottom line for me, the sushi was no different that your average Asian buffet. I would not return.

Yikes. Nori Nori has definitely seen better days. On a Saturday evening, this spot was relatively empty compared to how it used to be. PROS - Offers crab legs - Offers Galbi - Variety of sushi/sashimi - Matcha ice cream - Crepe station - Hibachi and udon soup station - Desserts were decent CONS - Overpriced ($45pp for dinner) - Galbi is very fatty - Despite the sushi/sashimi variety, the fish quality is not good - The tuna/salmon carpaccio is badly flavored - Plates are not replenished often. The salad bar area was practically empty. Although there are crab legs at this buffet, the restaurant is way overpriced and definitely NOT worth the trip.

Ask the Community - Nori Nori

Does anybody know when Nori Nori will be back open?

Never, permanently closed. 😢

Are the crab legs only for dinner buffet? Also, what is the cutoff to eat after lunch time- it says hours end at 2:30 but what if you arrived at say 2?

Crab legs are only on the dinner menu. If you arrive at 2, you better eat fast. The waiters will let you know when last call is on the lunch buffet. They start cleaning up and prepping for dinner service around 2:30.

Is this only seafood, or do they have good non-seafood selections, as well?

They have a wide selection of non-seafood items. Including many different salads, cooked vegetables and even hibachi

Does the buffet open right now (03/25/2021)?

They are open and close at 3 and reopens like 5

Is the buffet open right now (9/2020)?

Yes it is. I went 2 weeks ago .Mask are required at the bars , The tables are spaced out , and You must use gloves when picking your food at the bar.

How much is the dinner Buffett?

Hi Kaylee, weekday dinner buffet (starting at 6pm-9pm) is $31.95, while weekend dinner buffet is $33.95… 

How can i see the pricing for takeout menu?

How much they charge for kids? What's the age they start charging? Lunch/dinner pricing

They charge for children based on height. I think that infants are free (under 1 years old or not walking). They charge a percentage of the adult price i.e. 60% off of adult price or 80% off of the adult price based on the height of the child.

What is the difference in the holiday menu?

From my understanding there wasn't one. If the holiday falls on a weekend i.e. Mother's Day or Father's Day it would end up being the weekend dinner rate. I am not sure about Monday holidays i.e (Labor Day or Memorial Day).

Do they offer the crab legs every night or just weekends?

Yes every night crab legs

What's the difference between lunch and dinner?

Sashimi, crab legs, crawfish, hibachi grill, dessert crepes, and oysters

The quality of the sushi is outstanding. You can tell they use premium, high-grade fish, and everything is incredibly fresh. My personal favorite is the uni, which is always excellent. The specialty rolls are amazing as well. The Terry Roll is fantastic, and the Jackie Roll is absolutely out of this world. Every roll I've tried has been beautifully prepared and full of flavor. The appetizers are just as impressive as the sushi, making it easy to enjoy a full dining experience from start to finish. Whether I'm dining alone, meeting coworkers, or catching up with friends, the food is always consistently exceptional. The service is another reason I keep coming back. Jackie and the entire staff are friendly, attentive, and genuinely care about providing a great experience. The owner is wonderful and has created a restaurant that truly stands out. There is plenty of parking, and while you can sometimes walk in, I highly recommend making a reservation because Bishoku is often busy for good reason. If you're looking for fresh, high-quality sushi, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere, Bishoku is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

The short, thin hostess at the front repeatedly rolled her eyes behind our backs while seating us. I didn't notice it at the time, but our friend pointed it out towards the end of our meal, and it left a very negative impression. Our server was also inattentive. He checked on nearly every table around us multiple times but rarely came by ours. We ordered over $150 worth of food for just the two of us, yet received very little service. Despite that, we still left a 20% tip. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing as well. A lot of the food arrived cold. The quality and taste were nowhere near as good as what we remembered from previous visits. After giving this restaurant multiple chances, we can confidently say we will not be returning.

I have to say, it was a 10/10 experience, especially when it came to the customer service! I really wish I had gotten our server's name because she was absolutely fantastic, along with the rest of the staff. You go girl. She wished the birthday girl a happy birthday, and later on, she actually got the entire staff to come out and sing Happy Birthday to her! That was such an unexpected and thoughtful surprise because, honestly, nowadays you usually have to ask for birthday celebrations, and we didn't even care to do that. So for them to do it on their own made the experience even more special. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The appetizers, food, and drinks came out quickly, and everything was served with great service. The atmosphere was cute and cozy, too. The parking lot was a little full, but we did go during lunchtime, so that's understandable. I will say, the chef special does have a LOT of garlic confit in it, so you definitely have to like garlic. That said, it's not an overpowering raw garlic taste--once the garlic is cooked down into a confit, it becomes sweet and adds a really nice flavor. It's good, but definitely something to be aware of if you're not a big garlic person. The broth had a nice little kick to it. My only wish was that there was a little more meat. Overall, the customer service was seriously amazing, and I would definitely come back just because of how well we were treated. Great food, fast service, friendly staff, and an unexpected birthday surprise -- what more could you ask for?
