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!

We were lucky to secure 2 seats via online reservation for the 2nd seating at 8pm. Arriving 5 minutes before opening, we were directed to have a seat at one of the surrounding tables. We watched both servers efficiently clean up after the first seating. Afterwards, we were shown our seats where Chef "K" arrived and quickly went to work. We watched this chef and the head chef/owner Sam create our first courses which were exquisite. Not only were they presented beautifully but were absolutely delicious as well. Next came the first courses of nigiri. Piece by piece, we watched in excitement and anticipation. Each piece was fresh, crafted perfectly with the right amount of perfectly seasoned sushi rice. Then came a break in between the first and second courses of nigiri with a seafood dashi soup which consists of scallops, tofu, seaweed and dashi. A warm and refreshing way to break up the nigiri courses. The second wave of nigiri came, and these were just as incredible as the first courses. We loved the fact the ones that came with a topping or sauce didn't take away from the natural taste of the fish, rather it enhanced it and elevated it. Finishing off our course with the signature uni bowl which consist of wagyu beef, scallops, salmon roe, Japanese Hokkaido sea urchin, yuzu jelly and squid ink foam. This was a wow-factor dish that blew us both away. Stunning presentation and tasted even better. Finally, for dessert a roasted green tea ice cream which just brings everything together. Some side notes, I loved the attention to detail from both chefs. They're right on it if they see your gari (pickled ginger) is low and will happily refill it. I loved the place wasn't too stiff and you're able to make small conversation with the chef. And the service was top notch and not overbearing. Overall, this is some of the best sushi I've ever had and if I'm back in Philadelphia, I would happily return. A 10/10 experience.

The sushi chef was very friendly and chatted with everyone throughout the at course. If you get up to use the restroom he will wait until you get back before making your nigiri- just a nice subtle touch. The fish was very fresh, basically melting in your mouth. The uni was wonderfully sweet, so fkd those unsure about it, definitely give it a try!

These were the 18 courses I had for the incredible price of $150: * Three Components Appetizer - Shako, Maguro, Hotate * Seared Japanese Yellowtail, Pear and Daikon Sauce, Shredded Shiso, Myoga, Cucumber * Black Cod, Eggplant, Mushroom, Scallion, Tomato grilled in parchment paper * Madai * Kinmedai * Aji * Snow Crab, Carrot Sauce, Cucumber, Pomegranate in Monaka * Saba * Akami * Otoro * Uni * Anago * King Salmon, Sundry Tomato, Truffle Spring Roll topped with Osetra Caviar * Wagyu and Uni * Toro Tamaki * Miso Soup * Tamagoyaki * Strawberry Cheesecake Each course was delightful to amazing. Perhaps the only course I didn't enjoy that much was the snow crab monaka, but everything else was absolutely delicious. The aged akami is amazing. The steam rising up from the anago (saltwater eel) is like sushi bliss to me. To everyone who doesn't know: Your sushi chef should not be flametorching every piece of sushi!

The edamame was standard, and the takoyaki and pan-fried dumplings didn't taste homemade. Rather they both reminded me of what you would pick up at the frozen section at the food market. Nevertheless, they were passable. After all, we were here for the ramen. I opted in for their Terakawa special. The broth was flavourful, and the chashu was the most tender and juicy chashu I've ever had. As for the girlfriend, she opted in for their spicy ramen which was also spectacular. I absolutely loved her wavy noodles. I would have loved to have swapped out my straight noodles for her wavy noodles. They have a nice bounce and slightly chewy texture.

When I arrived, the restaurant was very busy, and the space itself was pretty small. Thankfully, they have a self-service kiosk to join the dine-in waitlist and another kiosk specifically for takeout orders. The ordering process was simple and straightforward, but unfortunately, the wait was quite long. Despite ordering relatively simple dishes, my food took about 30 minutes to prepare. There also wasn't anywhere to sit or wait inside, so I ended up standing outside for the entire 30 minutes. For my appetizer, I ordered the mini chicken curry, which was pretty good! The curry had that classic Japanese curry flavor I was looking for, and I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of chicken included, especially for an appetizer-sized portion. For my entree, I went with the gyudon, which was also pretty solid. The beef was a little fattier than I expected, and I felt that the rice-to-meat ratio was slightly off, with significantly more rice than beef. However, the overall flavor was good, and it definitely satisfied my craving for a Japanese rice bowl. Overall, I enjoyed the food and would definitely consider coming back to try their ramen, especially since that's what they're known for. My biggest complaint was the takeout experience. Hopefully, they can improve their efficiency with takeout orders or find a way to better accommodate customers waiting for their food. The food itself was satisfying, but a 30-minute wait for a couple of simple dishes felt a bit excessive.

Drinks: Yuzu citrus sparkling drink - refreshing but just okay Green tea - very light, not bold at all, more like lightly flavored water We really enjoyed the experience and will definitely be back. Next time I'll try a different specialty roll since the Tuna Tango didn't hit for me.
