Watching the sushi chef lightly create, fold and roll each signature Sushi dish is a fascinating show. It is as if they are between two realities. They effortlessly combine, spread and slice the ingredients into a presentation with the same understanding and mental focus an artist has while drawing, painting or sculpting.


The Sushi artists at NORI are both transfixed and upbeat in their purpose, while handing off creation after creation with the knowledge that the appreciation of each presentation is temporary. They must know the vast majority of their work will never receive accolades, show up on a magazine's cover, or be appreciation by a dedicated mass media audience. Still, their art creates an effect, and a physical connection between desire, hunger and appreciation in the minds of those who will consume it. These sushi chefs are it seems, dedicated artists who accept their best presentation, masterpiece and most delicious dish, to which they sign with a

    NORI could be ten times the size that it is and it would still fill up for the dinner rush. This amazing sushi experience combines fresh flavor with an exotic presentation at a convenient location and a great price. Lunch, take-out and delivery options are okay in the normal course of a day, but call ahead to reserve your table for dinner. This place is popular and fills quickly during dinner/evening hours. NORI sushi chefs connect a presentation art to their food, and the entire team moves effortlessly between tables, managing to-go orders and guiding guests across a vast menu in this tiny oasis.

    Music is only part of a restaurant's ambience and atmosphere... When you walk into a restaurant it should smell good, really good. The flavorful scent that greets you as you walk through the door at a location like NORI immediately tugs at the taste-buds while pleasantly mixing with the sounds of a lobby water fountain and a mood setting world music beat. Although music can overpower or distract from many culinary experiences, when used correctly any place can become an oasis from the bustling world outside, and build anticipation for hungry customers waiting in the lobby.

    It was outstanding...an understated first-blush appearance, but the sushi was incredible. So fresh with large portions!

    We had an 8:30pm reservation and when we checked in the place was full. Not sure why so many tables where available on open table if it was this full. We didn’t get seated until around 8:50pm. Luckily, the waiter brought us a couple beers on the house while we were waiting and when we got seated they gave us a free edamame. The waiter was amazing (such a hard worker). Overall, we had a great time. I recommend this place to everyone. Amazing food!
