   Thoughtful menu; food with intention. Non-intrusive service. Beverage program pairs perfectly with the menu. Five Stars; arigato gozaimasu!

   Food was mid at best… Poke was over cured and the scallop hand roll was one of the worst thing I’ve had in years

   NORIKO is the best dining experience. The chefs are so personable amazing and the quality of the fish is unmatched. I have been to NORIKO around 5-6 times and each time the experience is 10/10.

   Fantastic. Super small, curated, wonderful experience. Service is so friendly and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious. 4 hand rolls and I was absolutely stuffed. The quality and attention to detail by the chefs are top notch. And- for the price? Can’t be beat!

   Noriko is an absolute standout when it comes to fresh, high-quality sushi. From the moment you walk in, the ambiance is warm and inviting, and the staff are attentive without being overbearing. The blue fin tuna hand roll is nothing short of phenomenal. The tuna melts in your mouth, perfectly complemented by the lightly seasoned rice and crisp seaweed wrap. It’s the kind of bite that makes you pause just to savor the flavors. If that wasn’t enough, the salmon hand roll is equally impressive. The salmon is buttery, rich, and impeccably fresh—elevated even further by the subtle balance of texture and temperature in each roll. If you’re a fan of sushi, Noriko is a must-visit. You can truly taste the care and quality in every roll. I can’t wait to come back!

   Was there for a date night and was amazing food, ambiance, music and chef interaction. Great intimate setting. Restaurant is down stairs below another restaurant. I highly recommend. Might be hard finding reservations due to third parties buying out all the reservations, but weekdays are mostly open. Must try

   The food and experience was phenomenal. The nori chips and dip were my favorite starter. Definitely recommend getting a hand roll set and adding another. I usually don’t like California rolls but this has changed me! All the food is so fresh with high quality fish. The puncha matcha is a must have cocktail as well! The chefs and staff were so kind and knowledgeable.

   The quality and freshness of the ingredients at NORIKO are outstanding, and the chef’s attention to detail is evident in every dish. The service was warm and attentive, making the whole experience feel personal and elevated. My favorite rolls were the California and the spicy tuna—I’ll definitely be back!

   Fantastic handroll centric restaurant found in the basement underneath Perilla. All of the handrolls we got were delicious with standouts: blue fin tuna poke and scallop dynamite. Also the tuna and caviar - chef’s kiss! I love sitting at the counter, although we were too distracted chatting to really watch them make the handrolls. Also, the counter stools were sooo comfortable!! I know it’s a small thing but I’m a shortie and usually in any seat have my legs swinging or folded underneath me to be comfortable. These stools have a built in comfy foot rest! The sets are a great deal and you get to try a variety but if you order extra rolls, starters, drinks, etc. it does add up ;). Fantastic experience and we will definitely be back again!!
