At KazuNori, you can dive into expertly crafted hand rolls in a sleek, industrial setting, making it the perfect spot for a quick and satisfying sushi fix.
"If you’re coming from the East Side, stop by Kazu Nori for a few quick handrolls from the Sugarfish people. For somewhere you can be in and out of within 25 minutes, the Japanese food is great. The menu has a few combination sets of handrolls of three, four, and six, and each roll is handed to you one at a time. We especially like the crab and toro ones, and the fact that there’s only bar seating so it’s easy to come here by yourself as long as it’s on the earlier side -t he lines can get long." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, matt tervooren
"We’ve got to give KazuNori a mention, as they are “The Original Hand Roll Bar," even going as far as trademarking the claim as part of their name. The relaxed younger sibling of LA import Sugarfish is also still one of the best. Each roll is handed to you freshly made, one at a time, and they’re designed to be eaten immediately for maximum seaweed-crispness. It’s a good deal, and it’s also fast: everyone sits along a bar and you’ll probably be out in under 40 minutes. " - neha talreja, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick
"Order from Kazunori, and you can have an immaculate box of sushi rolls delivered to your apartment. There are three set menus starting at $18 as well as some a la carte options, in case you want to subsist exclusively off lobster and toro. Call 347-594-5940, or use one of the pickup or delivery options on their website." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, bryan kim, arden shore, matt tervooren
"Kazunori was essentially built for quick, relatively antisocial dining. So it’s ideal for a weeknight when you want don’t want to speak to anyone while you eat a few sushi hand rolls. That’s what they serve here, and you can get them in sets of three to six. Consider this place a more affordable alternative to sushi, and stop by for some toro wrapped in seaweed after you get out of work in Nomad (or a surrounding area)." - bryan kim
"The Union Square outpost of KazuNori does hand rolls, and they do them very well. They do them so well, in fact, that if you order takeout, they won’t do them, because apparently the time in transport would ruin their perfection. (You can get a great dinner set of cut rolls for takeout instead). This place doesn’t do reservations either, and there’s always a line, but it moves quickly. Sit at the long curving bar and try the $29 set menu with five hand rolls: squares of nori, filled with things like fatty toro, and buttery scallops. KazuNori is great for a quick, casual date night that’s still candlelit, or a quick weeknight meal with a friend, when you both want sushi near a train that will get you home and into your pajamas as soon as possible." - Willa Moore
