My husband and I had a delightful experience when we came for a late lunch on Sunday! We were able to walk right in and get seated. The waitstaff was friendly, without overbearing, and the restaurant was small, but not cramped. We had the special tameke set, chirashi bowl, chicken karaage, and house sake. Total came out to a little over $100 before tip. It was more than enough food for two people, we left feeling satiated, and with a few pieces of chicken. The quality of the fish was amazing. The chirashi bowl had generously cut pieces of a wide variety of fish, including uni and shrimp. The tameki was mostly good. There was one that had cream cheese, which I didn't love. I think one of them was maybe supposed to be a spicy tuna, but it wasn't super memorable. I liked the scallop one the best. Overall fabulous food and an inviting decor. Would def go back! read more

Pros- looks delicious/ huge portions/ relatively cheap Cons- i have been peeing out of my ass for the past 30 hours from horrible food poisoning Now you might ask, what if it was anything else. Wrong. That was the only meal I had that day at 5pm thinking it would be a nice little dinner, boy was I wrong. It started with a stomach grumble which then erupted into full on toe curling toilet battle for the next 30 hours. read more

We came here for their Seattle restaurant week menu which is highkey such a good deal!! We both got the $50 omakase + appetizer + dessert. For appetizer we got the salmon carpaccio and the spicy tuna chips and both were really good. Especially the carpaccio, highly recommend!! The 12 piece omakase was so good!! We got to try some pieces that we never had and it was amazing. The fish was really fresh and I would have to come back to get it again. read more

Chicken Karaage - Deep fried marinated chicken which tasted like the Taiwanese pop chicken. Perfectly fried and not oily at all. The spicy mayo added a nice touch to it. Spicy Tuna Chips - It's tempura seaweed with the spicy tuna and furikake. Very great portion of the tuna and based from most of the review, this is a highly recommended appetizer and I totally agree. Out of the Temaki, some were excellent and some were just okay. Highly suggest the Toro, Snow crab mix with the shrimp tempura, grilled eel, and salmon with cream cheese (not the one with wasabi sesame). Tempura lobster - I don't recommend. It's overfired and the batter was too thick. Overall the experience was great. Great portion and service was decent as well. Very cozy restaurant. The only bad thing I'd say is the bathroom, not very clean. I love that they validate parking! read more

The tuna chips were delicious. The quality of the tuna was excellent and paired perfectly with the crunch of the seaweed. The chicken karaage was also tasty, but the tuna chips were the standout for me. The tempura deluxe was just okay and not really my personal favorite, though others at the table really enjoyed it. The tonkatsu ramen was marvelous. It was perfectly balanced and easily one of the best I've had. We ordered the signature temaki set and swapped the tempura shrimp for a classic temaki, and it was AMAZING. The tuna poke, creamy scallop, and salmon wasabi signature temaki were my favorites, although all of them were delicious. I highly recommend this dish. We also tried the toro premium bite and the truffle scallop temaki. Both were excellent and absolutely worth the price. The service was great and our server was very attentive. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant. It is one of the best places I have visited in Seattle. read more

What a surprise to discover this restaurant. We came and enjoyed the hand rolls and ramen. The handrolls had customs nori protection to keep the seaweed as crisp as possible !! The flavors where fresh and complex. They hit all the notes you want in a handroll. We ordered one to share, we regretted sharing. But the ramen was also solid, the chasu was a bit thick and grisly. We will be back with plans to both order our own rolls. read more

Great tempura! Great chicken karage-reminded me of taiwanese style popcorn chicken! Great temaki! Fresh fish. Ramen was very good as well. Visited because of tiktok. Location was not too busy and my party of 4 was sat immediately on a Saturday @7pm. They allow for 1 substitution for the signature hand rolls. I replaced one with unagi. My favorite was the scallop and I really liked the different toppings on the hand rolls. read more

My first time here and this is officially my favorite ramen in Seattle. The broth was so rich and it had the perfect spice for me. The best part was the ramen wasn't even my favorite part of the meal. The signature tamari set was excellent. Each temaki was unique and delicious. I will absolutely be returning here. Eastlake is under construction but don let that deter you. They validate parking in the garage, or you can likely find a spot nearby in the side streets. read more

It's time to use up the quarterly Resy credit so my boyfriend and I went to Sushi Nori! I went a couple years ago but it was his first time there. We split the Spicy Tuna Chips, Chicken Karaage, a Signature Temaki Set, and a Chirashi Bowl. The tuna chips were great, great crunch and flavor which made us excited to try the other items! Chicken was seasoned well and very juicy. I'm glad we ended up getting only 1 temaki set because they were filling!! Chirashi bowl had just the amount of rice and perfectly sliced pieces of fish. Pro tip: 90-minutes of validated parking after 6pm on weekdays!! We did not look beforehand and ended up doing street parking, which wasn't terrible, but had to circle around a lot to find. It made for a great walk after since we were stufffffed read more

This is very good way to get your Japanese food fix without breaking the bank. We are vegetarians, and sushi is not typically vegetarian, but restaurants are gradually recognizing that they are going to have to adapt to new diet trends in order to maximize their customer base. I would rate Sushi Nori as middling in this regard. They do have a number of vegetarian items, but we ordered almost all of them and have thus exhausted their options and therefore don't feel like we will be going back unless they rotate their offerings from time to time, even though the quality was very good. It seems like they are thinking of the one vegetarian in an otherwise non-vegetarian party, rather than attempting to attract people who are all vegetarian. First off, this is temaki sushi, not maki, so do not expect rice rolls wrapped in seaweed and cut into slices. These are open face dried seaweed sheets with the filling dished on top and served in a tray. Your fingers are going to get very dirty, and they have cute little trash receptacles on the tables to receive your used napkins and plastic seaweed wrappers. The vegetable tempura was very good, with not too much batter. The vegetarian temaki are fusion rather than traditional Japanese (which makes total sense), and I have to applaud the chef's creativity, although I felt some of the combos worked better than others. My favorites were the fried tofu one, which was "melt in your mouth," and the oshinko one, which had a superbly intriguing combination of flavors and textures. I was less enthusiastic about the cream cheese one. It might have worked in a maki roll, but in the temaki form there was simply too much filling and the cream cheese was overwhelming. The rest were satisfying but not necessarily something I would order again. Service was very good and attentive. They have a nice selection of sake, if you want to go all out (we did). The physical layout was a bit basic and disappointing. Entering the place was not an inviting experience, and everything seemed somewhat cramped and awkwardly laid out. And they need to do something about the walls. They need a fresh coat of paint (and maybe not just a single color) and some decorations. My dining partner had a seat facing one of the walls, and I did not envy him. They do take reservations, but the place is small, so if you want to maximize your chances of not having to wait and having your choice of tables, it is better to go early or late and avoid the mid-evening "rush hour" rather than make a reservation. Most of the tables are arranged in a row by the front windows and are rather close together, so it can get loud and you might have trouble hearing the conversation at your own table. Fair warning. In sum, recommended, but not overwhelmingly so, especially for vegetarians. read more

Sushi Nori was recommended on TikTok to me as part of a Seattle itinerary. It is in the suburbs northeast of Seattle so it's out-of-the-way if you're hanging out around downtown as a tourist. We made a reservation at noon & when we came in it was pretty much empty, except one big family so we were unsure if the place was going to be a hit. The restaurant has a very clean aesthetic, although towards the middle of our meal of big fly, was flying around and bothering us . The tone was set by the salmon carpaccio. It is on the bed of fried sweet potato strings topped with jalapeños, furikake, in a single dot of Sriracha. We barely tasted any dressing of the sorts. It was more like a sashimi. There was nothing really standing out from this. Our chirashi bowl arrived after. The main stand out was the rice. It was perfectly cooked and had a perfect texture and chew. The waitress didn't really point out which fish was what, so for the white fishes we weren't sure which one was aji. I think for the price point for the chirashi bowl it was very worth it. The Uni was not fishy although the scallop was a little fishy. The rest of the fish was good quality. But maybe we should've just ordered the hand rolls. read more

A cozy sushi spot tucked into the heart of Eastlake -- everything was delicious and I liked that the sushi came wrapped so you could eat at your own pace without it getting soggy.

There was a waitlist but they were very prompt to seat us and take our order. There is bar seating available for smaller parties.

Amazing food and service! Convenient garage parking right next to the restaurant with 2hr free parking. Had the signature temaki set but subbed out the tempura shrimp for the unagi. Of all the rolls, the unagi was my favorite. Amazing flavor and texture! But all the other rolls in the set were delicious! For dessert we had the mango crepe cake which was perfect. Not too sweet and quite refreshing. The matcha tiramisu was also a must try. read more

Omg if you love hand rolls this is the place for you. They have an abundance of variety hand rolls and even vegetarian options as well. I think I ordered half of their hand rolls . They don't skip out on the fish, the rice and fish proportion was perfect. Also, the fish was super fresh, melts in your mouth, especially the uni and salmon rolls. The tempura and karage were good appetizers but it wasn't anything special. Service was also super fast, but the space is very small, so you should make reservations. They also have free parking in the garage on weekends. read more

Second time here and it was still good. It wasn't very busy on a Sunday night. We had: 1) agedashi tofu - 4/5. Huge portion. The tofu wasn't as silken as I like them (I feel like they used Chinese tofu that's more airy), but it was sufficiently crispy on the outside and the sauce was good. 2) calamari - 5/5. I love me some squid legs and this was also a good portion. Good flavor. Didn't love the dipping sauce, but I didn't really need it. It was seasoned enough. 3) tonkotsu ramen - 2/5. Not much flavor and my carb-loving son only ate half. 4) temaki - 4/5. Definitely have these and not ramen here. We got a variety, from Wagyu to uni, but skip the fancy stuff and go straight to the spicy hamachi. That was our fave. read more

Came on a Thursday at opening with reservations. We got the 5 signature hand roll set. Fish was fresh and overall well portioned. That being said, they were pretty standard and weren't "wow factor". I think a yuzu kosho sauce would have been an amazing addition to make the rolls pop in flavor. Overall it was a great stop with fresh fish. I would come back to try the rest of the menu. read more

This has been on my list for awhile and so glad I finally made it. The signature temaki set absolutely went far beyond my expectations, they were super filling and flavors were amazing. It's a much more unique sushi experience than I'm used to. The restaurant was very quiet and cozy when we visited, it had a very relaxing ambiance. The staff was very kind and attentive. Definitely a special occasion type of place, it's on the pricier side but I really want to go back to try their omakase! read more

I came here with friends on a tuesday night! We made reservations and were seated right away. It's not a big restaurant, but it's cozy with a minimal aesthetic. We all ordered the signature hand roll set which included five rolls for $30! Our favorites were the spicy hamachi since the cucumber made everything feel really balanced. The salmon avocado was a bit of a miss since everything felt too soft and mushy. In the end, we all enjoyed our experience but felt that the handrolls themselves weren't mind blowing. With that said it's a really cute place and it was fun to unwrap the handrolls -- fish portions were also generous. read more

There is a place in new york called nami nori with a really similar "taco sushi" concept that I was obsessed with - also has a similar price point to this place. When I found this place, I was really excited to try it. Came here on a Friday night around 8:30 PM. The place was a little chilly, so plan on wearing a sweater/jacket in the winter. I wasn't a big fan of the decorations and the seating felt cold and uncomfortable. The white lighting was especially odd with the rest of the place so brightly decorated. The food itself was pretty mediocre. My friend got the signature temaki set and although it was good, it wasn't something we would come back for again. It was missing some factor. We also go the Agedashi Tofu which was also ok. I wish they had put the sauce separately because the crispy tofu on the bottom became soft and doughy which was rather unpleasant. The Crispy tofu tamaki was good, but missing flavor. I really liked the chilli crunch part, but I used the flavor from the Agedashi tofu to add to it. Overall, disappointing from the food aspect. The service was quick and good. read more

Today we had a 7:30 pm reservation to celebrate my niece's 10th birthday, and it turned into a very disappointing experience. We arrived on time but it was clear there was no table available for us. When we asked the first staff member, he said he had no idea when a table would be ready and that we would just have to wait until the current guests finished eating. That's very unprofessional and rude when customers have a reservation. After waiting about 25 minutes, we asked another employee. She said the table was "almost done," but it clearly wasn't. The group we were supposedly waiting for was still celebrating a birthday, sitting and talking with no sign of leaving. She even said something like, "You know they have kids and kids don't want to stay long, maybe they'll leave soon." That comment again was very unprofessional. You can't keep taking reservations and then tell customers you have no idea when a table will be available. It's also inappropriate to speculate about when another table might leave. The way this was handled felt rude and dismissive. The worst part is that it completely ruined my niece's birthday dinner. She was very disappointed. After waiting with no clear answer and already being past dinner time, we ended up leaving. read more

All three dishes were AMAZING! Highly recommend the classic temaki sampler. The big winners were the tempura and scallop nori. The salmon and wagyu were also good but a step lower in flavorful mess than the first two. Tuna chips were also packed with flavor and a great appetizer choice. I would recommend getting one premium temaki and recommend the scallop! Definitely should get reservations for how popular the restaurant is. Fancy ambiance though a bit small read more

Stopped by Sushi Nori on a Sunday at about 2pm and the restaurant only had a few other parties. We were able to get immediately seated. The restaurant is quiet and nice for a more casual lunch date. We tried the veggie tempura, signature temaki set, and a chirashi bowl. The temaki set was tasty and had a good amount of filling, and I liked how each roll was distinct. My personal fave was the scallop. Even though this is a hand roll spot, I actually think the star of the show was the chirashi bowl. Each piece of fish was delicious and fresh and cut thickly. I do wish the sweet shrimp head was served fried. Also, I am very picky about sushi rice, and the rice they serve is cooked perfectly and seasoned very well! My fave chirashi bowl I've tried so far in Seattle - highly recommend! read more

Sushi Nori is the BEST hand roll restaurant I have ever been to. All of their fish and ingredients are super fresh and they don't slack on protein (in fact the ratio of protein to rice in each is 3:1). Each roll is beautifully presented and if you order a Temaki set, they look like pieces of art or a sushi mosaic. I came here with three friends over the summer; only one of my friends had been here before. For appetizers, we ordered the SALMON CARPACCIO (+$15) and the SPICY TUNA CHIPS (+$15) to share. The SALMON CARPACCIO came with a spicy ponzu sauce which was slightly acidic to offset the fishy taste of the salmon- it was just alright in my opinion. However, the SPICY TUNA CHIPS were amazing- super crunchy seaweed chips served with a scoop of spicy tuna on top. I would 100% get the chips again, but in all honesty, we probably didn't need appetizers as I could barely finish my meal. We each opted to create our own set of 5 Temaki (rolls) each. The rolls range in price (anywhere from $5 to $25 if you want the Japanese Wagyu steak roll) and are categorized as Signature Temaki, Premium Temaki, Classic Temaki, and Vegetable. They also now serve hot items such as curry, ramen, ikura bowls, and unagi don- which I hope to try next! Anyway, for my 5 piece set, I ordered the - SCALLOP TRUFFLE ($15): if you like creamy scallops, this is the roll for you - SPICY SALMON CUCUMBER AVOCADO (+$6.50): an affordable roll with just the right amount of kick. - SNOW CRAB MIX AVOCADO TEMPURA SHRIMP (+$8): this was basically a tempura California roll with a lot more filling than rice! Comes with huge slices of fresh avocado on top. - SALMON IKURA (+$12): super fresh and oily salmon roe (eggs) - and the SPICY HAMACHI CUCUMBER RICE CRACKER (+$7): this was the most memorable and unique of the rolls i ordered as I've never had a roll with rice cracker in it before. Both the cucumber and rice cracker added great crunch and texture to the soft fish! My friend who had been here before also ordered four TORO CHIVES CAVIAR (+$20 each) to share, as he said we had to try it at least once. I was so stuffed after finishing my own five piece temaki set, that I barely had room for this one. But it is the creme de la creme of the seafood temaki (unless you want Uni (sea urchin) which goes for market price) and so I had to eat it. The toro was super fatty and filling as toro should be. Was it worth $20? Probably not, but they use extremely high quality fish. A once in the lifetime splurge. I will note that the rolls are quite messy to eat and you definitely can't eat them in one bite. My rolls were falling apart as I tried to bite into them- you will need extra napkins for sure! Also, the rolls come in plastic which you pull off so that you can roll them at the table (they have directions have pictures at the table). Service is excellent. Our waitress was very kind and somehow remembered all our orders, even though each Temaki had such a long name. In terms of atmosphere, the interior is simplistic and modern Japanese. Everything is super clean. I would recommend making reservations ahead of time as they definitely have no shortage of customers eating here. They offer free garage parking after 6pm on weekdays and all day on weekends (all spots). Note that the garage isn't super big, but it's not too hard to find street parking on a weekday especially. Overall: 6/5 for food, 5/5 for service, 5/5 for atmosphere read more

We visited on a Sunday evening with a reservation. There were a couple tables available, so we were able to get seated early. The service was pretty fast and everyone I interacted to was nice. The reason I'm giving this 3 stars is because of the food. Realistically, this is probably a 3.5 (just because of the fish portion), but everything tasted fairly mid. The temakis either had too much sauce, or no flavor at all. For $30, I'm not sure if the food was worth it, but the restaurant and food aesthetic is pleasing. Like other reviewers mentioned, the aesthetic is nice, but don't come if you're looking for yummy food. read more

TLDR: instagram worthy food. Mediocre-average low quality at this price point and fairly bad service. Simple-to-no decor ambiance inside. Clean Came here on a Sunday night with a reservation for 2. Arrived 6:30pm but got seated after 10minutes to wait for a spot to open up. After seated, took about 15-20minutes before a server came to take our order (the first time checking on us). After taking our order, we got our appetizer 10-15minutes later after. Another 10-15minutes later we got our temaki and chirashi bowl served. At this point, no server checked up on us (Didn't even serve us our water yet) The premium ($20 each piece) toro temaki and Uni Temaki are very disappointing. The toro doesn't quite melt and it's not sweet as you'd expect a toro to be. Uni kind of melts, but doesn't taste buttery rich. It's very tasteless. Santa Barbara uni tasted like heaven compared to this (allegedly theirs was flown in from Japan) Chirashi bowl seems to have some good pieces. I love ebi (sweet shrimp), but it's really not sweet. It seems that the bowl looks small but tall-ish and overflow, but if you actually look at the top behind the tamago, it has a circular wooden piece to prop it up. Even inside the bowl, there's a thicker similar looking circular wood plate inside. So, really, what you see if what you get. Inside is literally hollow with maybe 4 spoonful of rice only. Signature temaki tasted just ok. Too much strong marinade and sauce to cover up the seafood and you barely tasted anything. Usually if a restaurant or even market sells you strong marinated ingredients, they are usually lower-quality or not as fresh so they use condiments and marinades to cover it up. Oh.. the amount of plastic used in their temaki to wrap the seaweed is insane. Probably the only somewhat met expectation item was their takoyaki as it is nice and warm, well-seasoned and you can bite into pieces of squid. After the whole dining session, the server only came to take our order, served food, served water (late, and never refill), and for the bill (which we had to ask for) read more

I got lucky and managed to get seated without a reservation. The restaurant is small but has a nice, vibrant atmosphere. Just a heads up, you'll need to find street parking. I ordered the hand temaki set and the chirashi bowl, and everything was fresh and full of flavor. They make it an easy and less messy experience to eat the temaki, which is unique to see. The sushi rice in the chirashi bowl had a nice vinegar balance, though it was slightly mushy. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'd definitely come back. 4.5/5. read more

An absolute yes for a unique and flavorful sushi experience. The temaki here is the best in the Seattle area. The nori is perfectly crisp, the rice warm and seasoned, and the fish tastes ocean fresh. We got a little bit of everything, because we just couldn't decide, but we were thoroughly impressed with every bite we had. Loved the miso, and we loved the variety of temaki options, along with the creativity and color of the night spread. Service was attentive, the kitchen was quick, and it's the perfect spot for date night. read more
