Got take out lunch specials last week and it was a super pleasant experience. Done in 10 minutes, cheap 3 roll lunch specials with salad or soup. The rolls are all pretty common but the quality of the fish and the size of the rolls was pretty close to the best I've had trying lunch specials around the city. Was able to eat at some tables a few storefronts down on a beautiful day. Will most definitely be back very soon!

COVID-19 Takeout Review I called ahead to pickup an order at Nori and they told me they would take 10% off if I paid with cash upon pickup. They have created a barrier between the restaurant and the pickup area. I felt very safe picking up and paying for our food. We ordered the Tuna amazing roll, cucumber avocado roll, kani salad, shrimp shumai and miso soup. All the items were really good. We would definitely order from Nori Sushi again.

What do you do when you're too stressed to cook due to 3 months social distancing by yourself, crazy news of your city being burned down and 400 years of racial suppression? Order sushi. Nori is close to my apartment so I opted for them. They have a little doggy door once you enter the restaurant where they keep the staff totally separated from the customers. My order was done on time and I felt safe picking it up. When I got home, I was happy to find everything just how I ordered it. I'm looking forward to returning during these troubling times, as well as in real life haha

Staple in the sushi!!!

Discovered a STAPLE in my sushi. The restaurant was absolutely not apologetic. They refused to refund the whole order and would only offer a refund the one roll because the rest of the order was "fine" - not that anyone wanted to eat anything else after seeing it. I typically would not come for a small business online, but the response we received from the manager was absolutely inexcusable. No apology was offered until we made a comment about feeling disrespected. Had the management been more apologetic or understood how dangerous a situation like this could have been, we might have returned.

Very nice and clean place. Beautiful presentation. Very fresh sashimi especially the white tuna. The ginger salad dressing is pretty good. I went to this place because it offers chocolate soufflé for dessert. I asked how long it would take to prepare it because I know it takes a while to make it. The waitress said it wouldn't take long because it's premised. I was disappointed that it's not freshly made so I decided not to order. That's why I took a star down.

I've been here before pre-Covid and I must say the set up inside to pick up is very safe. I also like the incentive to pay in cash and receive 10% off! I ordered three sushi rolls and an order of spring rolls. All of the rolls were tasty and fresh. I appreciated the rolls being packaged separately but they did get slightly smushed as seen in the picture.

New Restaurant in the hood (less than 6 months). I am skeptical on taking my friends and family to a restaurant that I have never tried before and this being so new I still did not get a chance to try it. But thanks to my Elite yelpers who gave me confidence through their reviews on taking a crew of 8 members to this place and must say none of us were disappointed. It is a small - medium size restaurant, very neat and polite staff. It is BYOB. It has a good variety of sushi, sashimi, bento box, fried rice. We started with Dumpling soup, green salad and Edamame. Soup was awesome. Ordered wide variety of Sushi and specialty rolls - Striped Bass, Eel, Mackerel, Shrimp, Crabmeat, Fireworks roll, super dynamite roll, surf n turf roll and Godzilla Roll. Everything was very fresh and delicious. It took a while to get the order so highly recommend munching on some of those apps while the sushi gets prepared. Overall I found the atmosphere very calm, non-chaotic and clean!!!!

My friend and I were looking for something to fill our hungry bellies after an intense work out. But, nothing heavy on a hot, humid, summer day... Nomi Sushi to the breach. Thank you fellow Yelpers! Amazing selection. Fresh fish. Big portions. Attentive service. Great prices. We couldn't believe how much we ate for $20 each including tip. They even have a loyalty card. I will definitely be back!

avocado salad !
Justine W.

Had a great time at Nori sushi. They have a beautiful and clean interior and are great for street/people watching with their large windows. The avocado salad was rather large for the price and was fresh. I've gotten 1/3 of the salad for the same price (and more!) at other local restaurants. Their sushi is sizable as well - 8 pieces served with your standard pickled ginger and wasabi. The staff is rather attentive and kind. Our server was very accommodating and came to check up on us and refill water often. And finally, they have 10% off if you pay in cash! This place is such a steal for the price, the atmosphere, and the service. I'll surely be back soon.

Shrimp Shumai
Julian S.

I enlisted a little help with trying to find a sushi spot that would serve the right amount of ambiance and delicious cuisine. Nori Sushi delivered! I will only touch on the decor and music for a bit because time and attention is definitely needed for the food. The decor was simple yet modern and the music was a unique twist on newer songs. On to the food... For appetizers, we ordered the Shrimp Shumai, Fried Calamari, and the Rock Shrimp. These were excellent choices that were fried just right. Often times, I notice there is an excess of grease left on the food and they are not allowed to rest before being served. Nori Sushi has this just right. It was clear the dishes were prepared fresh and allowed to rest so the flavors weren't overwhelmed with the taste of grease. Further, they were flash fried and not allowed to swim for too long. It was my first time having Shrimp Shumai; I highly recommend it. Rolls: Our sushi selection included: Spicy Tuna Roll, Aloha Roll, Holy Crab, and the Spider Roll. The classic Spicy Tuna Roll was good. I was not wow'd or deterred. It was prepared as it should be. No frills. The Aloha Roll, as implied includes some Hawaiian themes (pineapples), was comprised of salmon and tuna. The Holy Crab was filled with crab (soft shell and spicy) wrapped in soy paper. The mango that complimented the roll was sweet yet light. It was probably my favorite roll of the night's selection. The Spider Roll was your classic soft shell crab roll but was prepared perfectly. The flavors were delicious and refreshing and the presentation was novel. I can't wait to return and try more of the rolls. I would definitely recommend a visit to Nori Sushi or ordering take out, which seemed to be a big hit during our visit. Happy eating!

Friendly service, nice ambiance (especially once the music came on), and good sushi and sashimi! We stopped in on a Thursday evening and decided to dine in. We were the only table at that time and there was no music playing so at first the atmosphere felt a little strange; however, while we ordered and then ate, the dining room filled up, the music came on, and at least a handful of individuals came through for take out. The seaweed salad appetizer was plentiful. The pork gyoza was good--could have spent a little more time in the pan. The sushi and sashimi bowl ordered by my table were beautiful in their presentation and overall quite tasty. Definitely plan to return. Note: Current promotion is 10% off for dine-in!

The entire experience is a solid 9.5/10 for me. The service, ambiance, food, everything. From the hosts to the servers to the managers, everyone is always so attentive and hospitable.

Everything is just good. The quality, the seasoning, the flavors, all of it. My go to orders are their double knot sushi, beef skewers, and their Wagyu, which is honestly one of my favorite Wagyus I've ever had. Their drinks are great, too, especially their lychee martini. I genuinely don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu. This is one of those restaurants that just gets it right, and I will always recommend it!

I was full after those two options but the HH menu had plenty to choose from. Fresh sushi is also prepared as you walk in! Beautiful dim lighting right at the entrance. That was my first time having that beer, not bad. I switched over to a special cocktail made my the bartender; great customer service!

SERVICE The staff are kind and friendly. AMBIANCE It's a great place to catch up with friends over some finger foods and drinks. Located at the heart of Center City, it's also nearby a variety of other establishments if you want to hop around. PARKING Paid street parking is available at a limited capacity. Parking garages are also located nearby at a fee.

I come here for happy hour every now and then because the prices are really great, and both the food and drinks are delicious. We started with the specialty cocktail and the Thai Punch, and both were really good. They had fruity undertones, and the alcohol wasn't overpowering at all -- I could easily have a few of these. For food, we got a few orders of the kung pao chicken wings. They were perfectly crispy with a really flavorful glaze. The portion size was also very generous, especially for the happy hour price. These are a great example of Asian-style fried chicken wings done right. I definitely want to come back and try their full dinner menu since I've only been here for happy hour so far. Luckily, it's not too far from where I live in the city, so I'll definitely be back!

We were a party of two and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. ​The Highlights: ​Quality: This is hands-down the best quality "all-you-can-eat" (AYCE) sushi I've had. Unlike other places where the fish can sometimes taste frozen, everything here tasted fresh and high-quality. ​Service: Our server, Jordan, was incredibly attentive and made our lunch even better. ​Menu: The miso soup was delicious, and the salad portion was generous. The fried calamari was also great, though the pieces were on the smaller side. While the chicken teriyaki was a bit disappointing, the rest of the meal more than made up for it. ​Value: At approximately $33.85, the AYCE price is a great value for the quality you receive. They also have an extensive ramen menu--while it's not included in the AYCE price, it looked delicious and is something I'm excited to try next time. ​Overall Thoughts: The restaurant was very quiet during our lunch visit, which made for a relaxing meal, though I imagine it gets lively during happy hour. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're looking for fresh sushi and great service!
