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

So I stopped in and it was actually nobody there. Which wasn't a bad thing necessarily because it…read moremeans that it wasn't crowded. And I'm not sure why it wasn't anybody there. It was actually pretty decent experience honestly. Now there's a lot of shops around here in this building and the surrounding block of buildings. So you can find parking on the street or you can park behind or on the side. It's up to you as long as you don't park on Roswell road. But it's all free for the most part. So you should have no problem finding parking. I came in and was sat down immediately and I appreciated the aesthetics. It was a very clean and decorated environment. Gyoza (steamed) - They came with a four-piece situation and they were really good. The sauce that they came with was very tasty and dumplings themselves were pretty large all things considered. I do wish there were six of them but I understand lol. Katsu roll (chicken) - This one wasn't unusual role to me only because it actually had the protein on the inside and on top of it. Which made it actually pretty good though, because you could just eat the protein with the roll or eat it separately. But it was actually really tasty in the rolls were almost double the circumference and size of a regular rolls. If you look at how big a a typical roll would be. Shrimp crunch - This one was pretty good but it was pretty standard. Nothing really out of pocket with this one but it was decent. Volcano - This one was a pretty nice roll but it was a mess and the only issue I have is actually because it was such a mess, a tasty mess, that the structure wasn't really solid. Solid. A lot of them. You couldn't actually do a lot of grabbing when it came to the roll itself because it would fall apart very easily because there was so much fur on top of it. But the flavor was pretty good but that's my biggest right? Because it was hard to use chopsticks. Overall, this was a pretty decent spot. I don't have any issues with it. They have a couple rolls there that I would actually try again honestly and some appetizers as well on the same page as far as giving another go. But outside of what I mentioned, pretty decent experience.

I was craving Sashimi one night and I have to admit, I ended up at Yuka by accident. All worked out…read moreand looking back now, I should have went and bough a lottery ticket. I'll settle for a great Sashimi/Sushi dinner experience though .... I parked in back at the public parking structure back behind the building. I don't remember how much it was but just pay by phone so you don't get stroked a ticket. It was less than $10 for two hours is all I remember. Just not exactly how much. Walked over and around and skipped one place because there was signage about being dressed appropriately. I probably could have passed but I didn't want to feel like eating in what I envisioned as a stuffy stuck up place. Turning the corner it started raining so I ducked into Yuka. Seated immediately as the place was empty. Nothing like when I left. But the service stayed great even as business picked up. Ordered the following: Sunomono with crab stick, Tiger Crunch Roll and the 4 Kinds Sashimi Set. Capped dinner with a strawberry mochi. Enjoyed dinner - but I'll say I prefer my Sunomono sliced a thinner. They were also out of a several things including the dessert I wanted leaving me to settle for the mochi. But overall, I liked the portion sizes, the cuts and the balance of the roll. They were also out of a few beers I wanted to try but I'm not complaining because with all I had, I left fat and happy!

My older sister came from out of state and had never experienced omakase before. After researching…read moremany omakase restaurants, I chose Omakase by Yun because my first visit there was truly memorable -- and once again, they exceeded all expectations. The 15-course menu was a masterpiece from start to finish. Each piece felt like art -- stunning presentation followed by incredible flavor. Every bite melted in my mouth, and the balance between the rice, the fish, and their special secret sauce was perfection. One of the highlights was the Kimi Oboro, prepared using a 200-year-old vinegar technique -- simply remarkable. My sister loved every dish, even falling in love with the pickled ginger! The service was outstanding as well -- two servers took care of us throughout the evening, always greeting us with genuine smiles and impeccable manners. This was probably the best omakase experience I've ever had -- and I've had over a hundred. I'm so glad my sister's first omakase turned into an unforgettable memory. Huge thanks to everyone who served us last night. Highly recommend this place to both first-timers and seasoned sushi lovers alike!

Like a lot of other omakase places the restaurant was a little hard to find since it's pretty much just a door with a small sign and a couple of windows. The service there was phenomenal and I loved the variety for dishes! We had the 17 course meal for $242/person after taxes and tip, which was a little expensive but seemed fair for Atlanta. We started with some apps and my favorite was the oysters. Then most of the courses were various nigiri and ofc my favorites were the fatty tuna and eel. I also really liked the uni even though I usually don't! The presentation for everything was gorgeous and some of the sushi was pretty unique with the flavor pairings. Dinner ended with a small sorbet as dessert and my mom and I were both stuffed. I'll definitely be back for a special occasion :)

This has officially become my favorite sushi spot in Atlanta! From the food to the atmosphere and…read moreservice, everything about my experience was wonderful. First off, there's plenty of parking, which is always a plus in Atlanta! Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and gave us some great recommendations. The sushi was delicious, and I have to mention the Lychee Martini because it was hands down the best I've ever had! The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful. The high ceilings and modern, luxurious decor give it such an elegant feel without being overly stuffy. It's definitely one of those places where the atmosphere is just as impressive as the food. I'd highly recommend this spot for a date night or girls' night out! Between the beautiful ambiance, delicious food, and great cocktails, it's definitely a restaurant I'll be returning to.

A special shout-out to Chauncey, the manager, and Andrew, our waiter, who truly went above and beyond to make our visit exceptional.

His leadership and dedication to customer satisfaction truly stood out. Andrew was equally amazing!

It's rare to encounter people who take such pride in what they do and make the entire dining experience feel so special.
