Noriko Handroll Bar

Japanese restaurant · Fulton River District

"The folks at Perilla in River West have been hiding something in their basement. In February, they unveiled a sleek and sexy sushi bar that focuses on hand rolls. The two chefs — one is a Girl & the Goat alum — have packed a lot of quality in their offerings without falling for the sushi bro cliche. Get the edamame. They hit it with smoke which unlocks a new dimension of taste." - Ashok Selvam
