KazuNori: The Original Hand Roll Bar

Stopped by KazuNori for lunch on a Wednesday around noon, and it was such a nice mid-day break! 🍣✨ There was no wait when I got there, and I was able to sit right at the bar, which was perfect. It did start to fill up quickly, so I’d say get there early if you’re coming for lunch. I ordered the three-hand roll set, which came with salmon, baby scallop, and crab rolls for $20, and it was totally worth it. Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented 😋. Service was friendly and attentive, and the whole experience felt smooth and relaxed. Great spot for a quick but high-quality sushi lunch! 💯🍱

Would eat here every week if I could. Best quality for the price rolls. About $20-25 per person and can get about 3 rolls. Each roll tasted distinct and the rice and seaweed were so well flavored. My favorite was the eel roll. Out of this world. The wait can get long so would recommend coming off-peak hours.

KazuNori offers a quick and clean hand-roll experience with fresh fish and nicely seasoned rice. The concept is smart — counter seating, efficient service, and made-to-order rolls that come one at a time. That said, it feels a bit more casual and systemized than I expected. It’s great for a fast, light meal, but not somewhere you linger or get a deep sushi experience. Overall, it’s a good spot for fresh, simple hand rolls when you’re nearby — reliable and easy, just not particularly memorable.

I tried the $35 six-piece set at Kazunori: The Hand Roll Bar, and it was a great experience overall. The vibe of the restaurant is sleek and minimal, with a strong focus on freshness and speed. Each hand roll was made right in front of me and served immediately, which kept the seaweed crisp and the flavors clean. The highlights were definitely the toro and the scallop rolls – buttery, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. I also appreciated how the rice was slightly warm, which really brought out the flavor of the fish. Portion-wise, it’s not super filling if you’re very hungry, but the quality makes it worthwhile. If you want a quick, premium sushi fix in a casual setting, Kazunori is a solid choice. I’d definitely come back or maybe go for the larger set next time!

Got the set of six handles. Overall quality was OK, but the construction left something to be desired. They were rolled in cylinders as opposed to cones, which meant that the last bite usually ended up either exploding or with food fallen off the edge.

Hidden Gem in NY. It's a small restaurant and there is always a line at the door. If you don't feel like standing in the line you can order online or at the counter and take out. The food is amazing, they use very fresh ingredients and there are quite a few options of rolls. It's a little pricey but you are paying for the good quality products and the fresh fish. Unfortunately they do not take reservations, so get there a little earlier.

Perfect sushi hand rolls crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients. An inviting, cozy spot ideal for a quick, satisfying bite during a busy day or a casual meet-up with friends.

This place is the reason why I began to love sushi! The atmosphere of this place is really nice, it’s dark but very pleasant. The staff are always super welcoming, attentive, and friendly. Anyways, the hand rolls are hands down one of the best hand rolls I’ve ever had! The wait for each roll isn’t long at all. This place is so worth it and every time I visit the city I always see myself coming back here for either lunch or dinner.
