KazuNori: The Original Hand Roll Bar

I ordered the $36 set menu + Sapporo (ordered some sake for some friends) I arrived around 8 pm and got sat immediately. They were very attentive and I enjoyed the pace of when the next hand roll was being served. The set menu is a great idea if you want to explore. The lobster and crab were my fave so I ended up ordering extra of that + salmon sashimi afterwards. This place is located inside The Hugh food hall. I had a hard time finding it but once I looped around I found the entrance to the hall by the subway stairs. Forgive me, I’m new to the city. Haha. Overall I had a great experience.

This is my 2nd time here, I love these hand rolls. They were so delicious. I choosing 6 hand roll set. They were including with Toro / Yellowtail/ Salmon/ Bay Scallops(my favorite)/Crab/ Lobster. They were so good and fresh. I was so full by the 4th one already but still excited for the rest 2. They take no reservation but people don’t spend too long there so the wait wasn’t that too bad. Staff is good service and food are running fast ! Good timing. I would come back for sure.

This was my first time at this location while visiting New York City, and it came highly recommended by a few friends. It’s run by the same owners as Sugarfish, for anyone familiar with that spot in LA or here in NYC. The menu is simple and easy to follow, with lots of hand roll options. I went with the six-roll combination to try a variety of flavors, and it did not disappoint for $36. They also offer three, four, and five-roll sets. Beer and sake are available too. The wait was about 20 to 30 minutes when we arrived around 8 PM, with roughly 15 people ahead of us. It’s first come, first served, so expect a short wait, especially if you have a larger group. We had five people and got lucky, but smaller groups will likely be seated faster. The seating area is small, fitting around 20 people total, so ordering to-go is a good alternative. The restaurant is inside an indoor food hall on the first floor of a building. It’s cozy and compact, but clean and welcoming. Staff were friendly, and I’d definitely come back next time I’m in New York.

Food was amazing!! First time trying this place. Not for a big group tho, this is good for dates or just 2 of you and ur friend catching up. Fast paced with the food service but a bit elbow to elbow with the other diners. I’m glad they had a bag or coat to hang below cause it was really intimate with other guests. Other than that food and vibe is immaculate 💯👏 Would come back for sure!

Ordered food to go: Salmon is cheaper shredded not solid pieces in rolls which I’ve only ever seen in gas station sushi. Rolls were loose and rice not firm. They have what they call “Americanized” sushi in hand rolls which really just confuses what you’re getting for the price. It works out to be $12 per normal 6 piece roll like you’d see in other restaurants. Paying more to get worse quality. Don’t get take out from here

I love these hand rolls. They were so delicious and satisfying. They are all counter seating so it isn’t recommended for a group as it hard to talk to each other. I ordered the chef special set that came is 6 pieces. I was so full by the 4th one. They take no reservation but people don’t spend too long there so the wait wasn’t that bad.

Kazu nori is good, it’s convenient, and it’s tasty. Love the wasabi, but the line gets really long here. Also I wish you didn’t have to eat on stools without backs, seatbacks would be nice to enjoy your meal more. One callout is that they’re making so many hand rolls so fast that their sushi rice is usually a bit warmer than other sushi places, but that’s not a bad thing

New York has many excellent restaurants, but this one was my favorite during our anniversary trip. The hand roll maki bar is very reasonably priced and tip-free. The staff provided excellent service without being overly formal. The nori was crunchy, the rice was warm, and the various smashed raw fish were delicious. The standout hand rolls were the lobster and bay scallop. If you don't drink alcohol, I recommend the iced green tea.

Still great as always. I go to the doctor above this location, so I tend to come here after. It is in The Hugh, and the seating is structured like the other location. The rolls are always great, and I have no complaints. The takeout box is also really nicely prepared. I love Kazunori and I'm glad this location is here.

This location of KazuNori is insude the food court of The Hugh. What I like about this branch more than the original is that I don't have to wait forever on line to get a bar seat. Instead, I can order their hand rolls to go and eat it right at the tables in the beautiful surrounding area. Last night, after trying the new Uka Omakase, three of us decided to fill the remaining space left in our stomachs with a few hand rolls. No line for takeout, so we waited only about 15 minutes for our food to be made. The server was nice enough to deliver it to our table nearby the sushi bar. We shared three crab rolls and a scallop roll. While the rice was quite decent, I do wish they toast their seaweed to a crispy texture. With that said, the crab and scallop were both very sweet and delicious. This is not really cheap eats since the few bites costed us over $60. However, it was a nice treat to end our night of gorging on Japanese food.

I love KazuNori! I've been to a few location, but like that this one is hidden away in The Hugh. They are a sushi bar only restaurant that specializes in hand roll sets. This makes the process simple and quick for dining. They are also a tip free establishment! Their rolls are super fresh featuring crisp nori, warm rice, and a perfect amount of fish. My favorites are the scallop roll and the toro. Solid price point for great quality fish, I will be back again soon!

Usually not a big hand roll fan because they are almost always too big to finish or handle. But here they make them so there are just 1 to 2 bites to finish! I've tried coming here at 11 or even past what would be the lunch crunch times and no matter what there is always a line since it's only counter seating so prepare to wait!

Pleasantly surprised by this place! The fish is incredibly fresh, and the service is top tier along with the overall ambiance, which varies by location. Great place to have catchup dinners without breaking the bank with old friends! Must try the scallop and crab!! Only thing to note (and this is being picky).. would love for them to let us know the order in which they are bringing each hand roll out.

This might be the best meal I've ever had. I'm from San Francisco and I take sushi and seafood very seriously. If I lived in the area, I would be begging my husband to take me here every night. The 6 roll order is great if you're pretty hungry. Incredibly fresh and delicious. Would go back again and again!

Get the 5 hand roll set. If there is a fish you don't like you can get it substituted out for another fish. It really fills you up once you have the fifth one. My favorite was the yellowtail roll. It's located in the Hugh and you sit at a counter top bar. They bring you the rolls one by one and it is in your best interest to eat it as soon as they serve because the rice is warm. Good place to go after work or for a business casual lunch.

We waited in line for about 45 mins on a Friday night. It was very good. Not badly priced. It was the only food venue that was super packed with a line of people. I liked that they had menus for us to fill out and ready to put in the order when we sat down. It makes the process a lot quicker and so people don't linger for 1-2 hrs. The servers were super nice. And I loved the fact they said it's a NON TIPPING ESTABLISHMENT. the price is already factored into the food.

Came back again to eat the 16pc cut roll set which has 4 pieces of the toro, 4 pieces of the scallop, 4 pieces of the crab, and 4 pieces of the cucumbers. I personally liked everything except for the cucumbers since I like meat in my rolls. If you're looking to sit down and eat, there's always a line for dinner, so I recommend doing take-out instead.

This is a really solid spot for a good deal on tasty hand rolls! When I went it was about 8pm on a Saturday and there was a line of about 6 parties in front of me, but the line went pretty quickly. The place is counter seating only, which is nice because you get served directly after the hand roll is made. I got the Nozie which is six hand rolls picked by the founder, Nozawa. It ended up being toro, sea bream, crab, Yamaimo (cod roe and mountain yam), ankimo (monkfish liver) and eel. Each roll was good with my favorites being the toro and sea bream. Overall a solid hand roll experience, and at $37 including gratuity it's not a bad deal in the city.

I didn't feel adequate enough to review an omakase as a passive sushi consumer-- that was until I tried other budget friendly omakase. I can't speak on the rarity, novelty, flavor presenting, etc of each fish BUT I can tell you about overall quality, presentation, service, and ambience of it all. Right off the bat, what alleviates the stigma of high society stuffiness omakase carries is the relaxed boisterous environment of the staff and patrons. It almost had the quality of walking into a divebar on a sunny afternoon where everyone's trying to have a good time. Considering the regimented fast paced nature of omakase, it was tricky to accommodate a group of 6 at a long bar but our hostess was more than eager to accommodate, and we didn't have to wait more than 15 minutes. A+! Our chefs leaned more on the side of chatty bartenders, so that's up to the individual to determine whether they like that or not. I personally like a relaxed environment where I can speak casually with my friends. Again, I can't speak to the quality of the individual fish except for the the fact that each piece were touched by a delicate warmth that was very pleasing to the mouth AND the texture of each fish was light and airy without compromising structure. My friend was right in describing them as "velvety". This was important to me because I thought it was the standard until I visited other known omakases in Manhattan. Their fish required more bite. Overall this is by far my favorite omakase in this price range and my number one recommendation for visitors who want a taste of NYC without breaking the bank.

A casual sushi counter within a larger food court -- the line moves quickly, but would recommend coming with a small group (2-3) to get seated sooner. It's a no-tipping establishment, and IMO an affordable price for fresh fish. The 5 hand roll set was very filling -- they came out as they were prepared, to keep the seaweed fresh and dry. My favorite bites were the Toro and Scallop but baseline loved everything. I'll definitely be back soon!

I have walked by this sushi bar for a while now and I'm glad I finally stopped in on July 5, 2024 and enjoyed several sushi rolls. I was more hungry than I realized and so I landed up enjoying five hand rolls. I had two lobster hand rolls, one yellow tail with a little bit of scallion hand roll, and two eel hand rolls. The rice in the hand rolls was warm and the fish was cold so that combination was absolutely delightful, perfect, wonderful. I really enjoyed everything I ate and I look forward to coming back here to try more from the menu. There are some specials at good prices, but when I sat down, I did not realize how hungry I was, and so I ordered two rolls to start and then realized I was starving and ordered three more rolls. ALL WERE DELICIOUS!! The service was very nice. The sushi chef hand delivers each roll to you and announces what the role is. In the case of the eel rolls, the sushi chef also says you don't need soy sauce. Yes, I knew that, and you probably know that, but I think it's kind of neat that he announces that because he really wants you to get the best taste of the roll, and in case someone did not realize that there is a special sauce on an eel roll, This is a helpful statement to make. Individual prices of rolls range from about seven dollars to $10.75. My lobster roll was $10.75. I enjoyed two of those. I believe my yellow tail roll was $7.50 and the Eel Roll was also $7.00 . My total of five rolls was just under $50 And I thoroughly enjoyed everything I ate. This establishment is a " no tipping" Restaurant. And now, after writing this review, I just may stop in again later today to enjoy several more sushi hand rolls. See my photos.

I love this place for fast casual sushi. Whenever I have friends visit the city I always make sure to take them here. The price point is amazing and you get value for your order. I've gone for dinner and sat at the bar and have also gotten takeout lunch as well (pictured below). Service is great and staff are quick to take your order. They also give great recommendations for what to order if you are feeling overwhelmed with choices!

Kazunori is one of my go to restaurants, and this was my first time eating at this location which is located inside the Hugh. We came here for a late lunch, and the large wrap around bar was full and there was only one other group in line in front of us. This is a fast/casual meal, so we were able to be seated quickly. The service was only okay as they switched chefs halfway between our meal. We both got the 5 hand roll set which came with toro, yellowtail, scallop, crab, and lobster. The toro and yellowtail are my favorite. The seaweed is crisp since the hand rolls are made fresh and there is a generous portion of fish. Overall a consistently reliable spot for good hand rolls!

A day of three sushi for $19 is what I like to get at KazuNori. It's cheaper than individual rolls. On Friday, I went to The Hugh to have my favorite sushi. I had missed it while away and had sushi only once in India. It was different and I thought longingly of KazuNori. I always switch the crab with scallop and this time asked if I could have all with scallop. The server suggested I take it as individual rolls which I will do the next time but may then only have two. As I ate slowly, I relished each bite. Sushi here is fresh and wrapped well. Service is efficient and kind. Being a weekday, it was busy with a queue. I far prefer the weekends.

Delicious hand rolls made to order. Service was attentive as you sit across the bar and can watch the rolls being made. I was talking to a friend so the rolls just magically appeared one by one. Too busy to take pics but you get the drift.

This was hidden downstairs in what was seemingly a food hall disguised as a corporate building? Nonetheless, the service was really fast and everything was delicious and affordable. A suggestion would be that they use seaweed to close off one end of the hand roll so when taking a bite, all the filling won't fall out of the other end. They have Kazunori in LA as well, so I'll definitely be going when I'm in the area because this was very worth it!

First time trying KazuNori - I heard mixed reviews about them previously. This KazuNori is located in a food court like area. The seating is all counter seats and the seats are fairly close to each other. The seats aren't too comfortable but they have hooks to put your belongings. The server is very friendly. They explained the menu to me and let me know that I could upgrade my rolls if I wanted more later. I ended up choosing the signature 5 roll. Food came very very quickly. As soon as I put my order in, the rolls started to come out. Usually I like fast service but this felt rushed in a way. Server did let me know to eat the rolls quickly so the seaweed is still crisp. I wish I could say the same of the service from the sushi chef but he seemed like he didn't want to be there. Not very friendly and mumbled the names of the rolls so I didn't understand anything. The toro and the yellowtail scallion were my highlights. They were fresh and delicious. I liked that the rice was warm but it wasn't hot like some reviews that I read. I felt like the rice went well with the fish. The bay scallops, crab, and lobster were so disappointing. Their flavors were overshadowed by the sauce (some type of mayo sauce?) and felt like a mush especially the crab and the lobster. Not a fan of the mushy fish. Overall: nice to try but I think I'll skip next time. Gratuity is included which is nice but I only enjoyed 2/5 hand rolls that I tried.

I love this place for a quick bite! Pros: + Great for sushi lovers + The rolls have warmed rice - so good! + Staff is super friendly! + They make sets in reasonable sizes. I thought I could do 5. But I got so full after 3. They were really nice enough to allow me to go down a set! + Amazing flavor profiles + A quick lunch, but it never feels rushed IG: QueenOfAdventureNYC

If you're by yourself or with a group and looking for a quick bite, look no further than KazuNori! This no-tipping spot is the perfect place to go when you're short on time but still want a delicious meal. The sushi chefs make the hand rolls right in front of you at the bar, and every hand roll is made to perfection. The crispy seaweed, warm rice, and flavorful filling hit the spot every time and will satisfy any sushi cravings you may have.

Excellent service, Anna! So attentive, friendly, and fast. The best sushi that I've had in NYC so far. Noticeably better than Sugarfish NYC. The ambience here is like an open courtyard so not as posh as other restaurants but still inviting, open, fresh. I'll be back!

This place was amazing! Will definitely be back. I did the 5 roll set menu and it ended up being a lot of food for me so next time I'll go for the 4 rolls. I loved all of the rolls and my husband loved all of his. Prices are great and we were able to be seated right away on a Saturday night around 7 which was amazing. You get your food super quickly. Overall an amazing experience!

This is the PERFECT date spot. You might have to wait for a spot, but it moves quickly. They have incredible deals in which you can get 4, 5, or 6 hand rolls or even pick your choice. You cannot beat this deal for this level of freshness!!! My order and recommendation is: scallop, yellowtail, shrimp, salmon, toro, lobster, crab!!!

Jess and Lucy are amazing! Sincerely appreciate the fantastic staff and of course the amazing food. Original tried in Los Angeles but will always make this stop on my NY ventures. So happy to see a place so well run do so well!!

Soooo good. This was our first time at KazuNori and it absolutely lived up to the hype. This location is conveniently located inside of the bottom of the Hugh building. It was honestly lovely on a Saturday because it was not busy and we were able to get seated immediately as KazuNori opened--unlike their other locations that always seem to have a line. I ordered the 5-set combo and ultimately ended up adding another yellowfin roll because it was soooo good. My husband ordered the 6-set combo and added on the special ankimo roll which was absolutely worth it. We were hungry, but 2 others in our group were happy with their 3-roll combo. The nice thing is you can adjust/add more as needed. Another great thing about KazuNori--it is a NO TIPPING establishment! 10/10 for a place that pays its workers a fare wage and doesn't require tipping. AND has reasonably priced rolls. Overall, I absolutely loved my first experience at KazuNori. The fish and rice were perfect and fresh. The food came out quickly. The service was spectacular. I definitely look forward to returning.

The hand rolls were tasty. Just some had a bit too salty. Each rolls got a lot of rice but not tight enough when you bite it might fall down some. The server is nice and asked if we need more ginger or wasabi. The place is cozy not too big or too small. Good vibe here! No tipping is the plus :)

Quick and easy. It's not my favorite handroll in the city but it's convenient and consistent so there's no surprises. If you come on the later side then there might be a wait. Also! It's inside of a downstairs foodcourt. There's no separate entry to KazuNori from the street. You go down the stairs and it's on the right hand side. Same bar style seating as other locations.

My first time here and I loved the experience! Came for a late Saturday lunch and grabbed seats immediately at the counter. We tried the 5 hand rolls and each one was uniquely delicious. The area is great for couples or solo diners but I would not recommend for a large group. I will definitely be coming back!

I have been to this place like 5 times in a span of a month, and each time is better than the last. It is so affordable (comes to about $6-7 a handroll) and it is so delicious. The toro and yellowtail in the handroll are minced, so it gives a creamy umami feel. Personally, I believe since the toro and yellowtail are minced, the fish flavors are less prominent and at times a bit overpowered by the flavor of the rice. The scallop handroll is so incredible and subtle. When you get a bite of the scallops, it is so fresh and slightly sweet and the texture is so tender. The mayo sauce is light and creamy, so it complements the unique scallop taste without dampening the star of the dish at all. The crab handroll is actually one of my favorites. You immediately get hit with the umami and unique crab richness elevated again by the creamy mayo, and it is just so rich and delectable and craveable. There was the occasional feeling of a small piece of shell, which is unfortunate but nevertheless, this is a delicious handroll. The lobster handroll is also great. The savory lobster taste is the most prominent out of all the handrolls. The monkfish liver handroll is interesting. It is creamy but the taste is a little masked by the sweetness of the sauce added to this handroll. I will say however the rice is sometimes a bit overpowering, especially against the number of star ingredients with subtler flavors. Overall, one of the best and affordable handroll places I've been to, fresh and delicious!

This location is inside The Hugh which is one of the best public spaces with great food options and plenty of seating in NYC. Think high end food court that's well kept! There was a long wait around dinner time so I ordered two of their to-go options online. Took about 30 - 45 minutes for the order to be ready. Wish they offered hand rolls as an option to-go. The sushi was still very good but next time I'll come back at off-peak hours to enjoy the hand roll experience.

This place was located in what looked like an office building and there were other eateries around. This was designed to be a fast meal. You sit at a bar and they hand deliver you the hand rolls as soon as they are made. My favorite was the yellowtail. The seaweed was nice and crispy and not soggy at all.

Have been here a few times and it is so incredible every time! The line can get a bit long as they only have bar seating inside the Hugh but it does move relatively quickly. The staff is super attentive and it is a no tipping establishment! I got the 5 hand roll option and every single one is amazing. They come out pretty quickly one after another but are paced really well. My favorite is the crab and I love how the combination of the rice being warm and the fish being cold.

Handroll bar located inside a food court. Casual atmosphere. I had the six piece handroll tasting. Pacing was quick. Service was attentive. Tips are not permitted.

Food is decent for the price, no tip just like Japan. What you see on the menu is what you pay. Service is minimal due to bar seating and you have to wait in line to get seated. Full party has to be there as well. Eat quick so the nori doesn't get soggy! They won't serve you the next roll until you're ready for this reason. Good sushi rice quality and fish to rice ratio. It's located in the food hall, so expect noise. We unfortunately were sitting next to some highly rude tourists who didn't like our speaking voice level (his wife proceeded to scream at the top of her lungs when we let the guy know politely that we are in a public food hall, so it's supposed to be noisy...and that we were using our normal voices - more embarrassing for her than us, we are new yorkers so nothing fazed us). If you want a quiet meal, don't choose a food hall .

I've been to the Kazunori near flatiron before but the wait is insane. I only waited around 15 minutes for this location thankfully. The rolls are just as good here and I love how quick the service is. This is probably one of the better service places and tip is already included. I had the regular $34 for 6 rolls (toro, yellowtail, salmon, crab, scallops, lobster) and the $35 6 special rolls The Nozie. It had the same toro, lobster and salmon. The different 3 were sea bream (little too fishy for me), mountain yam? (the red sauce was really spicy) and monkfish paste (too sweet for my liking). I think the Nozie is cool for a one time try but I would stick with the original in the future.

I've been to KazuNori 5+ times and it never disappoints! Their food is pretty consistent and the service is impeccable. They're very quick while also not rushing you. It's one of my go-to place in midtown when I am by myself although I will pass on it during peak lunch and dinner times as there is often a wait. I've never had to wait when I've gone after peak lunch hours. Their rice and seaweed taste great and are of great quality but this time they gave a bit more rice than usual I feel like. I usually get 4-5 rolls and am satisfied. I was super hungry yesterday though and got 6 rolls! My favorites are surprisingly the crab and scallop because they are the most flavorful. L

Yum!!! It's a must try. The hype is real. This is a no-tipping establishment which is really nice to know when ordering. You get seated, order, eat, and pay at the counter. I got the 6-hand roll combo which included toro, yellowtail, salmon, bay scallop, crab, and lobster hand rolls. They're all so good, I can't even decide which is my favorite. Maybe the bay scallop and that would've never been what I'd guessed for my favorite. I'll say, I really liked them all and would reorder all of them outside of the crab and lobster hand rolls. The total cost was $34. When I went to their other location on W 28th St, there was a line on a Friday around 1pm but it wasn't the longest wait, maybe 15-25 minutes. There was no wait at this location and even extra seats after I sat down. I like the atmosphere of this location. It's in a food court so it's very casual and open. I will absolutely return!

Very good hand rolls for a good price! Ambience was a bit crowded but to be expected for the bar setting. We waited about 25 min outside on a Monday evening.

Came here on a Thursday night where it was a little packed but don't worry, the line goes by quicker than you think! I've been to other KazuNori before and they never disappoint. I always think to myself that the 6 hand rolls are not enough haha but they always fill me up just right!The rolls always come out quick and fresh. Service is always superb and best part is they don't accept tip. Environment is a bit louder than usual because it's in a food court area in busy midtown where everyone works but still a great amazing spot and will definitely be coming back!

This place was DELICIOUS, definitely worth the hype! I really liked how simple everything was. Get seated, pick your rolls and then then serve you "omakase style". I had the toro, salmon and hamachi hand rolls, everything was fresh, seaweed was crunchy and the rice was perfect. Definitely recommend those. Hope to come here again, whenever I come back to NY.

Pretty decent, fair price pre-fix sushi. Expecting long lines sometimes cuz they have limited seating.

Super casual dining--very good quality food and great value for what you get. Service is good as well. They don't take reservations, so you have to line up. That's the most intimidating part--the line. But they move fast due to the structured menu, and the food comes pretty quickly. I would suggest going there slightly earlier than the regular dinner rush or avoiding the theater rush. But again, I went on a Friday at 7:15 p.m., and the wait was less than 15 minutes. You can look at the menu while you wait and order your items when you are close. Once seated, the staff will greet you, and within minutes, the food will come. I got the Nozie set--six hand rolls for $35$. It may seem like not enough food, but I was stuffed toward the end. I added two more hand rolls to try because they looked interesting. And they were delicious. I highly recommend this place and all its locations for the price, food quality, service, and taste. A can't go wrong place to eat regularly.

This is really a 3.5 star experience for me, coming from having ate at the original in Flatiron. It's such a difference ambiance, although they did try to keep the lighting as low as possible but the rest of the noise from the Hugh spilled over and there's nothing you could do about it. I was seated fairly quickly at 6PM on a Friday - as soon as my friend arrived we were able to be seated ahead of the incomplete parties. I got the 5 piece set, and added a scallop roll (my favorite). For me, the quality of the hand rolls was there 100%, my friend felt the quality of the fish was just a smidge under but still very very good. It's definitely a different audience - the couple next to us asked if they could have maki rolls instead of handrolls and then ordered sashimi. I feel like this location you easily come across and stroll in just to try. The original location is something you go to with a purpose, given the wait. It did feel rushed to me as I hadn't really finished my last bite before the waitress came to take my dish and napkin away. I took a last bite of ginger despite my chopsticks taken away and then it was a bit awkward as she took my napkin away as I was using it. I mean I'd probably come back if I saw there wasn't much wait and it's indoors but in the summer and otherwise I'd def go to the original location.

Excellent service in this location. I dropped the napkin before I noticed and our waitress already hand me a fresh one before I asked for a replacement. It's an extremely busy location especially during the lunch hour. But you won't feel rushed once you settle on your spot. Most people come to enjoy a quiet lunch in this busy location. Got the daily special- sea bass sashimi and 3 rolls for $35. Rice is warm and fish is fresh. I personally do like the NoMad location more.

Kazunori is located inside the big food hall, The Hugh. Its casual bar like seating where you can sit down for some hand rolls. I came on a weekday around 6 PM and was able to get seated without a wait, but by 630-700pm there was a line. I had the 6 hand roll set which included, toro, yellowtail, salmon, bay scallop, crab and lobster. All the rolls were pretty good, but my favorite was the bay scallop. I think I would have preferred a little less rice in each roll, but other than that, everything was fresh

Great place for a sushi roll. I've been to several other locations and the quality and service don't ever dissapoint. A tip of advice, if you see a line of 10-15 people get in! It moves quickly and worth the wait! One problem is they don't have anywhere to hang your bag or jacket, except under the bar which is not very comfortable to sit with your jacket hanging over your feet.

WE LOVE KAZUNORI!!! Sometimes there is a wait, but it's worth it. They are quick and have a small, but delicious menu. Everything we've tried is delicious. We went 2x in one NYC trip because it's that good. The sushi rice and seaweed is very fresh. My faves are the eel hand roll, scallop hand roll, and cucumber hand roll. The staff is wonderful and friendly. We love it here!!!

Walk in only in the beautiful the Hugh and you get to sit at the counter when your whole party arrives. We arrived at around 5:45pm on a weekday and the line up started building up at around 6:30pm. For the price (tip included), the hand rolls were decent but it was missing some wow factor. The rice fish ratio was also a bit off - too much rice. The wait staff was attentive but the grumpy chef in front of us barely said a word even when we asked what roll he was serving us. He also forgot to serve the roll we were really looking forward to - scallops! Not sure if I'll be back again!
