Over the weekend we made another stop at Nori, and this time we decided to start with one of our family's all-time favorite appetizers, Crab Rangoon. To be completely honest, it was the best we have had in a very long time. Our family takes Crab Rangoon seriously. Over the years we have probably ordered it in more than a thousand restaurants, and according to my mother, I have been eating it since the moment I could chew. One thing that immediately stood out at Nori was that they do not cut corners on the ingredients. The balance between the cream cheese and the crab was absolutely perfect, which is surprisingly rare. Too often restaurants overload the cream cheese and you can barely taste the crab. At Nori, the crab flavor actually shines through, which is exactly how it should be. The texture was just as impressive. Each piece was perfectly fried, light, crispy, and golden without being greasy. You could tell right away that the kitchen takes real pride in how they prepare their food. For anyone who loves Crab Rangoon the way our family does, this appetizer alone is worth the visit. The Culinary Duo officially gives it two very enthusiastic thumbs up. If you stop by Nori, make sure this is the first thing you order. read more

Years later, this is still a wonderful restaurant! The food is delicious consistently, the service is friendly, and the vibe is relaxed. My family LOVES this place. The kids love this restaurant (and staff) so much, it is now our tradition to go to Nori for every birthday! read more

This shopping center looks brand new and there was plenty of parking. We went for a late lunch and really enjoyed everything we got. The wings had a great crunch and sauce, just wish there were more. The chicken satay was good but the sauce as lacking flavor. Their sushi was really good and fresh. We would definitely go back. read more

Really nice local restaurant in the neighborhood of hardly anything yet. The variety of food was great so you can choose a different item every time you visit. I hope for this place to gain more business. The food was delicious and fresh. The restaurant was clean from each time we visited.

This is still my go-to cozy sushi restaurant! I go here often on lunch dates!! I've tried their sushi lunch special, nearly every one of their signature sushi rolls, tuna appetizer, shrimp hibachi, pad Thai noodles, and the red curry! Everything is always decadent and delicious! Lauren has been my server multiple times and is always so sweet and helpful! Plus you have to try the Thai tea... (especially with the curry) mmmm utterly yummy!! My favorite sushi place around these parts!! Definitely check it out!! (St Johns Roll is still my favorite!!) read more

Went to get some decent Thai food and found this place. Atmosphere is kind of stark but functional. Service was great. They need some IPAs on the menu but decent wine list for a place like this .. now the important part! For a place with a huge menu the Thai was damn close to authentic. Curries were creamy and very tasty, pad Thai was good as well but could have used a little more tamarind. Portions are plentiful. We will be back to work our way through the Thai choices and maybe some sushi as well !! read more

Every single thing was perfection, from the service, to the food quality and presentation, to the portions and pricing. Best meal my family has had in a long time! My picky eater kids loved the food so much that they even ate the garnishes! read more

Monthly date spot for me and my wife. Sushi is fresh and flavorful -- tried Miami, Alaskan, Yellowtail jalapeño, Fuji, and more. Nori Wings are a must. Plum wine for dessert is my go-to. Service is excellent, and the owner/manager remembers regulars. Always a reliable and tasty experience. read more

Good food and good service. We ordered the St John's Roll based on another Yelp review and it lived up to expectations - excellent. The Florida roll was just good (nothing extraordinary). Then again, it was not a specialty roll. Miso soup was nice given the cold temps outside. It was more generous than I typically get at other restaurants. Ditto for the hot sake. The inside is not fancy in any way. All in all, a nice experience. read more

A friend recommended this place so I had to try it out. It's close by so I was excited to check it out. We came in during lunch hour on a Saturday. We were seated quickly, I saw the 24k gold sushi roll so I got a piece from my friend's plate, it literally tasted like "nothing", just a typical sushi with eel sauce. My other rolls are pretty good but then again, it's very ordinary sushi. I do enjoy the open space and glass windows everywhere, very inviting atmosphere. But I don't think this will be my go-to sushi spot. Maybe I'm wrong but for what I paid, I would expect better quality sushi. read more

Let me preface this with the fact that I was here with a group of ten people. Serving that many people and keeping the experience seamless is a skill that a lot of restaurants do not have. Nori not only handled the group beautifully, but when it came time to settle up the bill, despite several people trying to pick up different items, they managed it without issue. Neither my wife nor I are big fans of sushi so we both ordered the hibachi. My shrimp and steak were both cooked to perfection. The vegetables were under seasoned which left them feeling g a little bland. The sushi was a Huge (yes I capitalized the word huge intentionally) hit. Our group had ordered two separate sushi "boats" plus several additional rolls. There was not a single unhappy (or hungry) person left at the table. read more

Nori is a restaurant near us so we come here often. Service is good as is the food. We like that they have a pretty varied cuisine across several Asian cultures. Sushi, Thai, Chinese and more. The restaurant is part of the shopping center on CR210. Great location on the corner. The interior has booths and tables. We enjoy the various dishes each time we visit. read more

I met friends there for lunch. The food was good. I graded it down for 4 reasons. 1) The appetizers arrived with our main meal. This completely defeats the purpose of an appetizer and just makes it a side dish that you don't even really want once the main meal gets there. 2) my friend asked for water and it tasted kind of funky so she went out and got her thermos from the car. I tasted it and agreed. 3) my friend and I asked for green tea, which was a cup of hot water with a teabag. We were never offered a refill and even if there had been a charge we would have gotten it. At least they could have offered more hot water. 4) two of us got noodle-based dishes that were like 98% noodles with very little discernible veggies with them. The food was decent and we will probably even go again and try to correct some of the issues. read more

Amazing food and incredible service! The wings and the poke are wonderful. You can never go wrong with Nori's food.

Nori has been the buzz in my neighborhood for the past month!! I have been so eager to try it and I'm so glad we did!! We went for my birthday dinner with some girlfriends! We had the best time!! We had a ton of sushi rolls: california, rainbow, Jacksonville, yellow fish jalapeño, eel, and one other!! We also had a shrimp hibatchi. Everything was amazing!! The rainbow was my favorite but the yellowtail jalapeño had such a great flavor with a burst of spice! It was delicious!! One of the servers can sing opera and he sang happy birthday to me in Greek! It was breathtaking! Thank you Nori for such a great night!! read more

A really nice spot to drop in for a quick meal service was fast. Food was hot and fresh. I had the dynamite roll and it was wonderful, my wife had hibachi which she said it was amazing. Though the restaurant was smaller in the pictures, but the natural light and custom murals made brought it to made it feel massive. read more

I recently visited Nori for the first time for a business meeting, and had a good experience! I was greeted right away and guided to a table. I love the big colorful murals on the walls! The inside was very clean and bright. Easy parking outside too. I arrived right at 12 pm for lunch and there were only 2 other guests, but it started to fill up around 1. I was excited to see the lunch bento box that included 8 pieces of California Roll, two four piece rolls of your choice, wakame and ginger salad for only $14. It was perfect! I chose the rainbow roll and Florida Roll (tuna, salmon, avocado, masago) for my 2 half rolls. It was delicious and the sushi was fresh. This was very highly recommended to me as a great place for Chirashi, but they didn't have a lunch sized version. I would stick with the same rolls I got next time since I really enjoyed them. My only complaint is that the water from the fountain machine really tasted bad. I'm not sure if it was just tap water or from a machine, but it had a bad chemical taste. Food and service were great, and I will definitely be back for the lunch special! read more

Very delicious sushi, service is very friendly and quick. This place always knows how to fill me up.

Impromptu lunch at Nori while the wife and daughter were at the hair salon in the same shopping center, so I was pleasantly surprised to find Nori. Service was prompt and friendly and they offered a few Korean dishes, so I opted for the Bulgogi. It wasn't a traditional bulgogi dish, but still very tasty. My finicky son had the miso soup, which was much bigger than normal, filled up my son after adding some rice to his soup. Terrific find & will most likely come again during their next hair appointment. =) read more

Yes! Finally a good restaurant with great ambience and great food (especially the sushi!). They have good grade-fish cuts that you normally don't find in other sushi restaurants around the area like the Otoro Tuna and sweet shrimp. There's other Asian menu items such as Thai, Indonesian, Korean, Japanese, etc. Came here once in the past and this time is to meet with my brother, his girlfriend and my sister. We ordered the Shirley temples, nori wings, gold digger roll, surf n turf roll, fuji roll, St. John's roll, regular poke, large poke and the shrimp/scallop hibachi. Overall, the staff is great, the food is amazing, love the different Asian food menu items and the decor. I highly recommend the nori wings because it's savory, sweet and spicy. The rolls are great too and if you want a little something fancy -- the gold digger roll with gold edible flakes. read more

Out this way and decided to try a new place. We arrived just after 6:30 and for a party of 5 we're seated right away- booth with a chair in the end. Started with salted edamame (very good), and two of my kids had the clear soup (flavorful and good). Kids and husband all had soda, I had a Stella. For our main meals: one chicken and fried rice kid meal (good size, it was good), two kids split the Chicken Pad Thai and my husband and I split the steak pad Thai (ok, not exactly the typical Thai pad flavor I enjoy and wouldn't get again), and we also split the Fuji Roll (really good and fresh). We would come here again- but it for the fried rice and sushi meals. Also to note, it seemed super clean and our waitress was super nice and didn't let a drink go empty. read more

We have driven by many times but haven't stopped until tonight on a cold winter evening. The restaurant is small but very beautiful and the execution was excellent. I had the hibachi chicken with clear soup and rice. My husband had neatly everything on the menu including yellowtail appetizer, sashimi, gold digger, sushi and chicken wings. The wait was astonished how much he ordered. He was finished well before my order arrived but we understand completely as he is a corporate chef. They have a great business with Grub Hub and other carryout orders. There was a constant flow of large orders going out the door in the rain. I would like to explore the menu more as the presentation was great!! read more

They gave me burnt pad thai, it was barely edible to be honest the only conditions im eating this if im homeless and haven't ate in weeks, im pretty sure the cooks are all mentally disabled because i dont think i could make a meal this bad if i tried the only reason they get two stars instead of one is because the customer service was good read more

Just added an extra star. Although my review wasn't 100% flattering, the owner still took the time to respond in a positive way. Not making excuses, acknowledging my opinion, and making a commitment to simply strive for better! There is nothing better than a restaurant owner who genuinely cares about his service to his patrons! read more

Nori serves excellent food. Every dish that we ordered was flavorful and had a great serving size. Some recommendations of ours include yaki soba, unagi roll, red curry and green curry. We also had house sake (served warm) which was an enjoyable way to begin dinner. The restaurant is small and intimate with beautiful wall murals. The owner came to speak to us and he was so kind. We look forward to visiting again soon! read more

I finally found my fave sushi here with their Fuji Roll and their Rainbow roll. I love the edamame but I've had it cooked differently both times I've ordered it. There is a bar seating area but no place for you legs so that's a bit awkward. Then there is sushi bar seating which is nice. The place also has tables and booths. The best part is the freshness of the sushi rice. So good! read more

From the outside we thought this was a little more upscale but when you go inside it's a casual dining atmosphere. But that being said it was really good. The service was great, the waiter was very personable & knowledgeable about the menu. He wasn't intrusive but there when you wanted something. The food was really good all around which given the size of their menu is surprising. We had sushi, poke bowl, fried rice & a beef dish of some type. We all agreed that pineapple fried rice was the best but all were good. We'll be back for sure! read more

Don't let the humble atmosphere inside fool you. The food is top notch and the service is fast! A new favorite sushi spot right in my back yard. It looks large from the outside but is quaint on the inside. Worth the wait... and there usually is one. The folks waiting know the food is great! read more

Nori is one of our go to lunch spots. We have not visited for dinner but have been around 8 times for lunch. Lunch service is hit or miss when it comes to service but on average it is quick throughout. Only twice have we left thinking this could have gone better. Normally it's a miss at check time not during food and drink service time. Now for the best part...the food!! I'm going to be honest my favorite is the build your own poke bowl. It's the ultimate in my opinion get everything you want!!! I order the regular bowl and it's still always too much for me to finish. My husband gets the large. (You can also get it over greens instead of rice but it's just lettuce not spinach so I've only done that once...not my fav). I also love their Miso Soup, Kani Salad (substitute spice mayo for Japanese mayo), spicy tuna rolls and seaweed salad! read more

My wife and I are experienced sushi eaters that have recently moved to St. John's. Been here twice because I always give second chances. Too bad the second time was worse than the first. The fish is NOT fresh, plain and simple. They hold on to it to long. Also Can't switch out rolls on boat/chef selections for some reason. Anyone that is particular about their sushi will not enjoy this place. It is also ridiculously overpriced for what you get. Atmosphere is decent and service was good, but we didn't go there for that. We went there for the food and was disappointed 2 out of 2 times. Avoid at all cost, there are better options in the area. We will not be returning; ever. 100% overrated. read more
