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! 💯🍱

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!

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.

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.

Overall, had a pleasurable experience at the restaurant. After being seated quickly, we placed our orders and were eating in no time. By the end of the meal, my friend and I with our stomachs full, went to pay the check only to find out that they did not take tap to pay. During this unfortunate situation, we have to get crafty and find an alternative way to pay leaving a scar on our opinion of the restaurant. If I was in town again, it’s somewhere I might stop by, but it’s definitely not a must go. It’s a fun experience for those who have not tried it, but I hope Kazunori is able to figure out their payment situation in the future. I also went to the bathroom, which was quite far in the back of the restaurant nice nonetheless. (Full disclosure. It was a little pricey.）

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.

We were in and out in about an hour during lunch time. Both ordered the 6 hand rolls and they were divine. I love that it’s served omakase style. The toro, salmon, and yellowtail were my favorites! My only complaint is that the stools were small and practically under the table. As a girly who sits with her chair pulled all the way in, it was tight for even me. We also found our elbows bumping into people next to us. There was one woman sitting next to my friend with her shoes off and taking up our space but the restaurant can’t really control that. It was just a bit uncomfortable for us.

This place simply has great the food and incredibly tasty, the price was expensive but well worth it. As you enter Kazu nori you are given a menu in which you mark off the items that you would like. The place is extremely organized and each person stand in a station ready to go. The rice is nice and warm and the seaweed it heaven. The fish is great as well. The only issues I foresee with this restaurant is that it is a bit depressing and the people working there had no emotion. The lighting was also very dim. But overall the food was great and also the food it made directly in front of you so you can see how it is made. Thank you, JO reviews out.
