NoriFish

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had the pleasure of experiencing the Premium Omakase at NoriFish tonight, and it was nothing short of exceptional. Omakase translates to ‘I leave it up to you,’ and trusting the chef here was the best decision. Every dish was a masterpiece, showcasing incredible freshness, creativity, and impeccable presentation. The meal began with an array of seasonal sashimi, including Madai, Buri, Hirame, Akami, Chu-Toro, O-Toro, Kinmedai, Sake, and Hotate. Each bite was delicate and flavorful, highlighting the quality of the fish. Standouts included the luxurious Uni Trout Roe, melt-in-your-mouth A5 Wagyu, and the perfectly balanced Kanpachi Tartar and King Salmon Ceviche. The journey continued with unique items like Chu-Toro Uzura Toast, Lobster Meshi, and finished with the delightful Matcha Sundae for dessert. Every course felt intentional and perfectly executed, creating a memorable culinary experience. The atmosphere was fun yet sophisticated, and the staff truly elevated the evening with their attentiveness and care, ensuring we felt welcomed and satisfied throughout the meal. Their detailed explanations of each course added depth to the experience. At $165 per person, the Premium Omakase was well worth it for the level of artistry, freshness, and service provided. NoriFish is a must-visit for sushi enthusiasts in the Atlanta area, and I can’t wait to return to see what else their talented chef has to offer!

I seriously cannot get over how amazing this place is and how much of a hidden gem it is! I visited Sandy Springs a few months ago and still can't stop thinking about this place! This was some of the best sushi I have EVER HAD, in terms of food quality, beautiful presentation, and perfect flavor pairings. You can tell that the fish is of the highest quality since it is shipped fresh from Japan! The chefs take great care to create both visually appealing and delicious tasting sushi -- especially the OUTSTANDING omakase, while also offering a variety of amazing small plates on another menu. The omakase is a great value for what you get -- the portions are filling, diverse, and super tasty for $160/person. It's a super classy and beautiful environment, perfect for work dinners, date nights, anniversaries, and more! Highly recommend!!!!

I’m back but probably not for long. College has been good but I haven’t been able to eat out because I’m a college student you know. Anyways it’s parents weekend and I celebrated a birthday today. The atmosphere was great, the mood and music were comforting and each table had a nice space where you feel isolated enough to have your own experience. The service was great, every dish was explained and the servers were attentive to our needs. We got the standard omakase which was enough food to feed us all. The food was the star. Each dish was played well and followed a routine of eating. The food came out fast and was great quality. The omakase gave us a variety of different fish and ways of preparing the food. The nigiri was diverse in flavors from acidic to fatty. Overall great blend of flavors, giving variety and diversity to the meal. The desert was great, there was a matcha sundae. The cake was a little dry but other than that everything else was great. I give a 9.2 out of 10. The dishes were great and offered a diverse variety of flavors. The way they presented the dishes were ordinary and I wish they would create more of a story with the meal and omakase. Service was overall solid but seemed a little unorganized at times. Nothing to say about the atmosphere overall, it was great. So 9.2, so 4.6 out of five. I think that’s good so I’ll round up to five stars because I’m in a god mood. Great diverse variety of flavors in a nice atmosphere.

I can’t get over how literally every type of sushi that we tried was amazing!!! The fish was so fresh and melted in my mouth! I enjoyed it all so much that I’m going back again with my husband. It’s a great hidden gem in Atlanta and even though it’s not near the more popular area, this place is definitely worth coming to. Beware that they DO NOT have a full bar so whatever is on their drinks menu is what you get. And they can’t really accommodate large parties. I think 6ppl is the max at a table.

So happy to finally find this well-priced omakase that’s worth the money in ATL. You can taste and feel the freshness of the fish, they’re for real when they said they get the sushi flown in from Japan. Every nigiri we experienced had an exciting twist that celebrated the fish’s natural taste or balanced the texture. Can’t say enough about the sweetness of the uni, or melt-in-your-mouth otoro and wagyu. Every bite was flavorful, each successive menu item was introduced thoughtfully and portioned precisely for enjoyment. Drinks are strong. Bit of a hidden gem and worth a try.

Second time around for Omakase and the entire experience was just as magical, if not even better than the first. We stopped by NoriFish in late 2023 on a whim, and I was immediately left wanting more. Then I thought, was it really THAT good and can they re-create the magic that’s been inked in my mind once more? Well, happy to confirm it was not a fluke. NoriFish is by far one of the most innovative sushi places in Atlanta with a zero compromise approach to quality. From start to finish, each bite was well balanced and executed to perfection - and all to enhance the natural flavor of the fish. End-to-end a wonderful experience yet again. Bravo.

NoriFish is my favorite restaurant by far. The staff are so kind and welcoming, the food is to die for. Every birthday and celebratory occasion my top pick is always NoriFish. I honestly wish I could eat here every week, it is just so delicious. The atmosphere is very cool and sitting at the bar is awesome. I will warn you, that once you have NoriFish, all other sushi places will never satisfy your sushi craving again. Wish they we’re open on New Year’s Eve, because I know they would do it up!

This food was amazing. Everything was so flavorful and different. Did the premium course meal and couldn’t wait for the next plate to come. Drinks were perfect too.

Best sushi I've had in Atlanta! Sag at the bar. Went early ... right at open. Very expensive but beats having to drive into Buckhead.

My partner and I had an amazing time at NoriFish. The ambiance was spectacular and staff were so friendly! We ordered the Omakase 18 Item ($165), as well as the Lychee Garden Cocktail. Each plate was presented elegantly, and every single item we tasted was fresh and absolutely delicious. My favorites were the Sake, Harami, O-Toro, and A5 Wagyu nigiris, and the Amaebi Ceviche Tostada. We also received complimentary soup that was made from Madai fish, and it was hands down the best soup I've had in a while. The broth was clean, yet rich in flavor; I'm convinced it could cure any cold! I also enjoyed the Matcha Sundae, but it was surprisingly very petite.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. My party was late to dinner so I ordered a drink and the Chef's sampler. The waitress did an excellent job explaining the different pieces of nigiri, and how I should eat them. My party then arrived and we grabbed a table. A few members of the party were not familiar with Omakase style dining and the waitress went in depth and answered every question we had. Most of us ordered the standard Omakase and no one left disappointed as everything we ate was delicious. The standout for me was the tuna belly. I will definitely be back.

You HAVE to try Nori Fish. One warning though, they changed their menu so they no longer have their baby omakase offering (which was the big reason why I made a reservation there). But it was an amazing experience otherwise. I went with their 14 course omakase and it was sooo good. The fish was fresh, great rice to fish ratio, and the menu was curated so that you had sashimi, nigiri and then a tasting of their most popular apps. I ate everything so fast I only got a photo of their dessert which was a matcha ice cream Sunday. Our server John was amazing. He answered all of our questions and was really attentive without being obstructive of our experience. The ambiance was modern and cozy with bright lights by the bar and dimmer lights at tables. Parking is free with lots of spots in the deck, a short walk from the restaurant.

First time trying omakase and Norifish was a great option to start with!! The restaurant is super snazzy and imo is a great place for a date night. The service was pretty good too and I think it was a decent price for how much food we got! We started with drinks and I really liked the lychee martini! The pacing of the courses was pretty good too, and I liked that they eased into the sushi with a lighter start and fattier cuts at the end. All of the sushi was so fresh and I dream of the tuna trio! The main three entree dishes were just alright, but I think if I had a whole meal of just sushi, I would have been super pleased. The courses ended with matcha ice cream that was soooo good, maybe even the best matcha ice cream I've ever had! I'd like to try some other omakase restaurants around Atlanta, but I think Norifish was a strong start!

Lovely, lovely food. Beautifully plated, each piece of nigiri displaying the individuality and beauty of the art of sushi. I was pleasantly surprised by each course and the complexity of flavor building on top of the other. I had specially requested to sub any tuna out for my partner, who is allergic to tuna. He enjoyed his dinner as much as mine (his pictures were not shown due to picture capacity), but his tuna toast was subbed out for scallops with some caviar and the tuna trio was subbed out for nice fish as well, but nothing outstanding. We received a hearty, warm broth brewed on the house derived from fish. Notably, the wagyu nigiri piece was a bit chewy, the lobster rice underwhelming, the ebi torta to die for. Overall, the food was beautifully presented, however, not well compensated when subbing out higher-end fish, leaving us wanting a bit more after the meal. Service was nice, the servers were incredibly attentive, but in terms of omakase, it was not as personal. I never spoke to the chefs, a hello and goodbye at most, and the server who was intended to introduce my courses couldn't explain what pieces I was being served for multiple courses. I was hoping for a more intimate experience that is usually offered with omakase, but it was lively in the restaurant. Moreover, I also expected it to be a more elevated place to have a nice dinner to celebrate my partner, but the dress code of the restaurant was a bit all over the place. The guy next to us wore basketball shorts and a running shirt and had nigiri at the bar with us, which again, felt like it fell short of an omakase experience. I probably wouldn't come here for the omakase "experience" again since I could get the intimate ambiance I desire elsewhere nor, but I would come again to try their sushi and nigiri.

I've been to this place twice now, and came away happy both times! First time was to try the omakase menu; and I would argue it's a great one. Not the most traditional sense, as you're getting the pieces a few at a time, but still grouped together with intention. There's also a little more razzle dazzle on the pieces as opposed to a purist nigiri selection. Just keep that in mind. But they make great use of the artistic liberty and flavor combinations because just about every piece was full of flavor! Great service, with a modern, hip vibe inside, maybe without any pretentiousness you'd expect to find at a similar looking place in Buckhead.

Ok so I eat a LOT of sushi and nori fish is honestly my number 1. The staff is great and friendly and the fish is the best quality I've had. Our waiter did a great job explaining all of the dishes on the menu and when they came out as well as told us about how their fish comes from a market in japan. Best quality fish I've ever had. I've had the omakase and it's great but ordering off the menu is what i usually do. Every thing I've had has been incredible on the menu with the scallop and halibut nigiri being so ridiculously good as well as the Crab Oshizushi and the assorted sashimi being great. Havnt had 1 item id rate below a 9 so would be best to get the whole menu!

This is my first time having Omakase. The experience was great. Food overall is 4/5. Some of the pieces was amazing, but toward the end, the trio with beef and something in a bowl was not my cup of tea. I realized most of the dish has lemon/lime zest, which makes they all taste similar. Service was 5/5. Everyone is attentive and friendly. This place ambiance is kinda high end and fancy sushi restaurants. So perfect for date night but not really a place a big group if you drink and talk loudly. Price point was $180/person, with no drink

We had a great experience at NoriFish. Everyone in our party of four got the "Omakase Premium" and we all loved it. Really good stuff. Excellent sushi. Service was on point as well. I recommend this place. During our visit, the restaurant offered three levels of omakase (Japanese version of a prix fixe meal consisting mostly of sushi). The levels were Omakase Petite with three courses for $60, Omakase Standard with four courses for $95, and Omakase Premium with five courses for $150. Japanese food is my favorite type of cuisine and omakase is one of my favorite types of meals, and I think NoriFish does it well. Below is what our omakase came with. English translations and additional detail added by me. 1st Course - Sushi * Choice of Uni Caviar Rice or Otoro Caviar Rice (our table got both) 2nd Course - Sushi * Madai (Kagoshima, Japan) - red seabream, sudachi (Japanese green citrus), yuzu salt, ginger, lime zest * Hirame (Jejudo, South Korea) - olive flounder (flatfish), yuzu kosho (Japanese citrus-chili condiment) vinaigrette, Himalayan pink salt, chive * Buri (Mie, Japan) - adult yellowtail (Japanese amberjack), yuzu ponzu, orange, serrano * Kanpachi (Kagoshima, Japan) - young yellowtail (great amberjack), yuzu wasabi dressing, nikiri (brush-on sweet soy sauce), nori dust (dried seaweed dust), chive * Hon Maguro (Mexico) - bluefin tuna, nikiri, honey wasabi aioli, lemon zest, chive * Shima-aji (Ehime, Japan) - striped jack, nikiri, Pecorino Romano, lime zest 3rd Course - Sushi * Special - Yuki Masu - Japanese snow trout * Otoro (Mexico) - fattiest bluefin tuna belly, nikiri, truffle salt, caviar, lime zest * Sake Aburi (Scotland) - salmon, flame-seared, "umami aioli," chili ponzu, lime zest, garlic chip * Hotate Aburi (Hokkaido, Japan) - sea scallop, flame-seared, sudachi, nori aioli, orange zest, yuzu salt * Chu Toro Aburi (Mexico) - medium fatty bluefin tuna belly, flame-seared, nikiri, tomato, lemon aioli, roasted garlic salt, lime * A5 Wagyu - highest yield and meat grade of Japanese beef 4th Course - Specialties * Hotate Uni - sea scallop and sea urchin (Hokkaido) combined * Lobster Rice - lobster, nikiri, chive, nori dust, rice pearls * Ceviche (substitute for my lobster allergy) - assorted fish, avocado cream, aji amarillo citrus, orange, tomato, yuzu salt, cilantro * Chu Toro Quail Egg Toast - medium fatty bluefin tuna, nikiri, sunny-side-up quali egg, truffle aioli, Pecorino Romano 5th Course - Dessert * Matcha Sundae Signature Cocktails * Lychee Garden ($15) - Ketel One vodka, fresh lychee press, Aperol, citrus * Fool Me Twice cocktail ($15) - Roku Japanese gin, Chinola passionfruit, citrus My omakase experiences have varied from sitting at a sushi bar and eating whatever the chef puts in front of me (no menu) to sitting in a dining room and eating from a set menu. The latter is how it was at NoriFish. It doesn't matter to me as long as the food and service are good. A detail I liked about NoriFish is for the 2nd and 3rd courses, which were the nigiri courses, the pieces of nigiri were laid out in the order they were printed on the menu. Everything was outstanding. As my wife said, "There wasn't a single bad bite." The ingredients were fresh and terrific quality. The execution was top-notch. All of the flavor combinations worked. In general, the dishes and pieces of sushi were packed with umami. Several items had delectable, melt-in-your-mouth textures, especially the otoro, chu toro, and uni; almost all the fish, really. We also loved how tasty the cocktails were and the generous portion sizes (glass + bottle for each drink). NoriFish opened in Sandy Springs in May 2022. Off the top of my head, I think this is the best sushi restaurant in Sandy Springs. It's from some of the same folks behind Okiboru Tsukemen & Ramen, Scoville Hot Chicken, and Tum Pok Pok -- Justin Lim, Sean Park, and Jakkrit "Jack" Tuanphakdee. The original Okiboru and Scoville locations are also in Sandy Springs. The restaurant is located on the ground level of The Bishop apartment building. You can park for free in The Bishop deck. The entrance to the deck is on Springwood Connector, adjacent to NoriFish's low-key storefront. This place is popular. When we visited on a Friday night, at its peak, both the sushi bar and dining room appeared full. That said, I was able to book our dinner reservations only two days out (via Resy), so not that far in advance. Inside, the atmosphere is casual/sophisticated casual. This isn't one of those pretentious sushi restaurants that tries to be swanky and upscale. Not that there's anything wrong with that, it's just a different vibe. The dining room and bar here aren't terribly big either. No outdoor seating/patio. Service was fantastic. Adrian and Jenny were our hosts/servers/food runners while Sean (co-owner) and Calvin were the sushi chefs. Everyone was great. Adrian and Jenny were very friendly and hospitable. They were able to answer every question we had. Thanks, guys!

Was in town for the holidays. Did the premium omakase for 3 people celebrating a birthday. Staff service is impeccable. I felt like it was the perfect amount of attention. They didn't hover either. Ambience was chic modern. Please get a bar seating to watch all the action. Food: the omakase is guaranteed to fill you up. I thought I'd be unsatisfied or hungry but damn they fill you up. All the pieces were amazing. It was a first experience with omakase for 2 people and they were blown away. This place is seasoned omakase approved and newbie approved. Only drawback was it was a cashless establishment. I had tons of cash to blow and couldn't but it def wasn't a negative it was only worth noting. Can't wait to come back here!

This is the absolute best sushi place I have tried in Atlanta!! My friend and I ordered the omakase and everything was PHENOMENAL!! It tastes like the chef caught the fish that day!!! The waiter was very knowledgeable and was able to name everything we ate as well as tell us the order it should be consumed. We had a great time and will be returning again. The price was worth it for the food we were given.

This spot is a cut above your usual strip mall sushi bar. They specialize in high-quality wild-caught nigiri, expertly prepared. It's a tasting experience, and we felt the chef did a terrific job. No California rolls or poke bowls.

tl;dr just book it. go. dont hesitate. dont even read my review. just go book a res. do it. now. done? okay good now you can read the review. this place is incredible. the omakase was incredible. this is by far my favorite japanese restaurant in all of georgia. the fish fresh and delectable. its flown from japan in 2-3 times a week (no set dates. i asked lol). this is coming from someone whos from san diego, huge seafood lover, travelled nationally and overseas to japan taiwan bali china etc. this place. is soo tasty. exactly how i like my fish prepared. E X P E R I E N C E we came for a special occasion on a friday night. we made reservations three weeks ago online. upon arrival, they immediately sat us and took care of us. waters. then our order. F O O D lychee garden cocktail 15: ketel one vodka, fresh lychee press, aperol, citrus: freaking amazing. one of my favorite drinks aliiive seasonal sashimi translucent trio (white fish: flounder, scallop) madai (w lemon, yuzu salt, ginger) kinmedai (w lime, yuzu salt, lime zest) hirame (yuzu kosho vinaigrette) 3 shades of tuna (three types of tuna nigiri: last one being fatty otoro tuna and that was incredible) bincho maguro (garlic ponzu, crispy shallots, cilantro) hon maguro (nikiri w honey wasabi aioli, chive) otoro caviar (nikiri w truffle salt) under fire (seared fresh fish nigiri) sake (w chili ponzu, umami aioli, garlic chip) hotate (w lime, pink salt, nori aioli, orange zest) chu-toro (nikiri w lemon aioli, tomato, nikiri, garlic salt, crispy shallot) jack of all flavors kanpachi tartare w caviar (w blood orange miso vinaigrette, cucumber, shallot, cilantro) hotate uni (w yuzu miso, tomato, chives) lobster rice (nikiri, chive, nori dust, rice pearls, chives): this was definitely a filler but still so tasty the jack of all flavors (now breaks into two different options) omakase standard 105 omakase premium 160 everything was. a flavor bomb. there were definitely pieces i favored more than others. but everything we enjoyed. the otoro tuna was my favorite. all the nigiri just melted. the fish was so beautifully prepared. so intricate but so simple and light at the same time. i usually hate scallop bc its slimey, even when prepared by a michelin rated restaurant. but the chef here did a phenomenal job. C L E A N L I N E S S sparkling. tables, seats, glassware. well taken care of. I N T E R I O R inside is well decorated. elegant. classy. can wear dressy casual or cocktail formal. would definitely not recommend slides/flipflops/beach wear. S E R V I C E we had 3 females, a male, and the manager, adrian take care of us. but jenny was our main server. she was very polite and kind. the servers here didn't describe the dishes as in depth as oku's servers do but the food here, id say is on the same level. oku is my other favorite omakase place in ga! adrian checked on us a few times and was very kind to give us a little chef's special. he was informative and friendly.

Having a first date in several months really was nice. We went to NoriFish for an Omakase meal as we were craving for it. We haven't had omakase in a really long time, and we only have had it in other cities and not in Atlanta. So, looking for a place to eat we settled here with a fellow Yelper and wanted to see if this could be a place where we could come back to for their omakase. We settled on getting the Omakase Premium, which came out to be a 5 course meal that came out to be 150 at the time. We decided that since we haven't had so many dates, that we should go all out because who knows the next time we will have time? Note, that there are other sizes/choices of omakase you can get. There's the Omakase Petite (60), which is only a 3 course meal, an Omakase Standard (95) which is a 4 course meal and lastly the Premium. With the Premium, the only differences are higher quality items along with just more in food wise. So for instance between the Standard, the Premium gets you Caviar, Wagyu, Chu Toro, Hotate, and also Egg Toast. Let's just say you get a several more pieces. The food was great! The chef did check in on us as far as how the food was, but there wasn't much of a conversation as a usual omakase. The waiter brought it out to us even though we were sitting at the bar and then explained which order to eat the pieces in. I would definitely recommend Norifish as a spot to go to eat Omakase. I thought the pricing wasn't bad and we did leave the place full. The fish was fresh and also had different types of ways of presenting with the flavor matching. The very first fish that you get is very light and refreshing with lemon, and then you would get garlic in another bite, so on and so forth. I enjoyed my time here and can see myself coming back and getting the omakase or other dishes that they offer in the future. This definitely was a good experience as the first time to get omakase in Atlanta!

With Omakase being blowing up right now.. THIS IS A MUST TRY!!! there are all types of experiences for your budget! $60-150, on top of that the drinks are so good!! What they could improve on is that if i am going to try omakase, and pay $150, i would like the experience where they give you piece by piece, instead of a block with the sushi coming in sets of 6*, especially if we were sitting at the sushi bar. Though server was wonderful, it was disappointing that we didn't have a real authentic omakase experience. For the food, we all decided to try the premium omakase option, definitely amazing!! the quality of the sushi and the attention to detail on every single piece was so intricate and delicious. I cant say more other than go try it for yourself!!!

We had dinner with friends at NoriFish on New Years Eve, and it was one of the best dinner experiences I have ever had! I only recently started ordering sushi rolls with raw fish, and prior to our dinner at NoriFish, I had never had sushi like this, so I was nervous but very excited to try something new. And it definitely did not disappoint! We all ordered the Omakase Standard tasting menu. This included three courses and dessert: two courses of 5 pieces of sushi each, and one course of scallops, a lobster bowl, and ceviche. Their fish is flown in from Japan, which is amazing. Every bite was a work of art and so delicious! We all paired our meals with sake tastings, which was fun, too. Our waitress was the best! She was friendly, helpful, and attentive. The restaurant has an elegant vibe that I loved. I can't recommend NoriFish enough!! I can't wait to go back for a special occasion (because it is definitely pricey to have the full experience of the tasting menu - $95pp).

Had a solo dinner here, and it was perfect! I sat at the bar and talked to Chef Calvin, who genuinely appreciated the compliments! And how could I not give him many?!? I ordered the premium omakase. The nigiri was delicious. He added sauces that accentuated the fish without overpowering. The chu-toro in the "under fire" course was probably the best bite of the meal! The tapas style plates were all delicious. The chu-toro toast was my least favorite bc I love chu-toro and couldn't taste it with all the other things. Apparently it's one of their most popular dishes so what do I know? I had the "cucumber mint yuzu spritz" which was refreshing and had an adorable presentation in a mini carafe. I will definitely be back!

You can pick from 3 omakase experiences to fit your budget. If you have the opportunity, I would go for the premium ($150). We made reservations for the bar thinking that the chef would explain their process for each piece. Instead, we got served multiple pieces at once, and the waitress told us what each piece was. The food was still amazing. I would recommend sitting at a table vs the bar, especially if you come here with friends. It's just easier to hold conversations. Just a small detail, but I love the wooden check presenter box and the small pen.

Was in town for business and stopped in based on a recommendation - wow wow wow! The best way to describe NoriFish is that it is speakeasy for sushi. If you call rolls sushi than this is not your place. If you want tremendous fresh fish flown from Japan, then you are in for a treat. Calvin too really good care of me and recommended the omakase premium. This is a 13 dish treat. One word of advise - this is not a been there once and check it off kind of place. Calvin tells me that they shake things up weekly, so I cannot wait until my business travels bring me close by again. Can't wait to see what the noriFish team will have in store.

Friendly staff and owner. Would come here again for the toast Great place for date night

Fantastic omakase premium experience! A great balance between different traditional and experimental bites. There was also a lovely drink menu and recommended pairings with the omakase. The service was phenomenal though for omakase fanatics I'll note that it is not a typical sushi table experience where the chef shares each dish to all guests and provides information all at once, but the staff serving us was extremely knowledgeable and able to answer any questions. more affordable than some other omakase options in Atlanta.

Overall, food was good. All dishes had high end ingredients. Omakase for that day seemed to have a love affair with lime. Not a typical application for sushi, mileage may vary on that. Not a place to bring kids, no options for them. So hopefully they like sushi. Menu is very concise with little choice. Nice place to go out for drinks and casual conversations. It is quite expensive, however, the ingredients do appear to match.

Very fresh and delicious sushi. They have it shipped from Japan and service is excellent. They have 2 different sets of Omakase you can choose from (standard and premium) or you can get a couple of the dishes a La carte. It's such a beautiful place and perfect for date night. A little splurge but it's a nice place

Amazing amazing amazing sushi. We got the 18 course omakase and it was the best sushi I've had in atlanta so far. Service was wonderful too!

Came here to try the omakase and it was not the traditional experience. We sat at the bar and chose the petite option. It was enough food for me. The nigiris are served to you on a plate, not individually. So you actually don't have to sit at the bar in my opinion here. The cocktails come in a little jar it's cute and you can fill your glass up.

Fifty stars! This place is the best omakase in Atlanta. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, the chefs are top tier. Last night was my 4th visit, Chef Calvin not only remembered our names but my egg allergy. You can't ask for anything more. Then the food comes and WHOA!!! Love NoriFish and I tell everyone about it.

Our new favorite sushi place! Chef Calvin is amazing. We tried omakase, a la cart nigiris and almost all the small plate options, and they are all innovative and taste really great. Combination of ingredients on the nigiri really enhances the flavor of the fish.

This place is very good, but their navigation is all messed up online so it is a little difficult to find if you're not from the area. They have a small sign so from the street it is also not super noticeable. Because of that though, it isn't terribly busy on the inside. If you are able to find this little spot, then you will be pleasantly surprise, as this is some of the best sushi I have had in Atlanta. You have the option to do a la carte or you can pick between 3 omakase experiences. The 3 omakase experiences are split from being smaller/cheaper starting at $60 and the highest premium experience is $150 we opted for the second option, and I can say we both thoroughly enjoyed every dish they gave us. They bring the courses out and suggest to eat from left to right which is normally the lighter fish to the darker one. We were both pleasantly surprised by the second fish in the first course, but scallop is my favorite fish and the nigiri piece was such an amazing flavor combo on that piece, I loved it, and my boyfriend even brought up the scallop But I have got to say the matcha sundae was one of the best desserts I have gotten at a sushi place. I often feel like sushi places lack on good desserts, but this was delicious, with shortbread, a tempura banana and topped with a dash of coco powder. So good. This is a great place for a date, but if you just liked good sushi you could totally go on your own as well. It was my first omakase experience and it was a perfect place for it.

Wow!! Stunning sushi. Unique flavors w. Lots of nuanced brushes/garnishes, amazing fresh quality fish. The yuzu oysters are so refreshing and tasty. I had the omakase standard which was a generous amount of food and all was SO good. The ambience and look of the restaurant is beautiful and service is great. Even the matcha sundae dessert is perfect with a great, unique ice cream texture, almost hard but still so smooth?? By far the best meal i had in atl! They serve everything w a delicious yuzu wasabi sauce and i thought everything was perfectly seasoned w or without it.

Great food!! Highly recommended. A bit expensive but worth a try for sure. Fixed courses are very good!

Went in Tuesday for my birthday dinner. We ordered the omakase premium as well as the belly rice and salmon belly nigiri (recommended by the server as it was not on the menu). Presentation was 10/10 and everything was super fresh and melt in your mouth good. Our favorite from the omakase was the translucent trio and the under fire. Wagyu was good, but would have probably enjoyed it more as a nigiri. The Belly rice (ordered separately) was also amazing. The salmon belly nigiri recommended by the server was phenomenal. We ordered three orders of those! Service was great! Everyone was super nice and knowledgeable. Some courses came out faster than others but we didn't mind. Our reservation was at 5:30PM (hello life with young kids), and there were already a few people there. By the time we left, the place was pretty full and lively. I am definitely recommending this place to friends and will be back. Hopefully the quality stays the same.

Be prepared to spend quite a bit to get the full experience here at NoriFish. That's not to say it isn't worth it though. The restaurant has an upscale and modern decor with seating options at booths and at the bar itself. Definitely make a reservation if you prefer the table over the bar. The menu is mixed of shared plates, sushi, and of course the chef choice omakase which ranges from 10, 14, and 17 course options. I ended up getting the 17 course premium omakase and also some extra caviar on the side. Each course is a single piece sushi or small dish as you can see in my photos. I would say besides the dessert at the very end everything tasted of the highest quality and flavor. It's a journey for your taste buds as you work your way through all the courses. Don't expect to truly get "full" eating the omakase even after 17 courses but you definitely will be leaving satisfied. Definitely worth checking out NoriFish if you want some premium grade sushi.

Super nice place. Super nice staff. A bit hard to find because of very small sign but it is probably intended that way. The place was packed and we did not have reservation so the wait was long. However the staff then rewarded us with extra appetizer, super fresh oyster. The omakase is to die for. If you are adventurous, do try the premium one. The regular one is great enough.

Oh my, had a wonderful experience at NoriFish earlier this week! My partner and I split the kanpachi carpaccio, and each ordered a petite omakase - TASTE: 5/5 - the combination of kanpachi, yuzu, and ponzu made for such a light and tasty appetizer, and the omakase petite was fantastic. Highlights included the madai (sea bream) and hirame (flatfish) in the first course of sushi, sashimi and ceviche in the second course specialities, and fried banana in the third course dessert. Chef's kiss! TEXTURE: 5/5 - the pickled wasabi and ginger were good complements throughout our courses. The crispy shallots and garlic, along w the greens, in the kanpachi were perfectly balanced. The belly rice in the second course was lovely, w the contrast of cucumber, greens, egg yolk, and crunchy rice PRICE: 5/5 - the $60 petite omakase is a great bargain for the food and overall experience! Would love to come back and splurge on the standard and/or premium omakase offerings SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - satisfied us for dinner, and didn't get hungry later that night SERVICE: 4/5 - we were seated, without a reservation, at 6:30pm on a Tuesday and served quickly throughout our meal. The space began filling up after we arrived ATMOSPHERE: 5/5 - very hard to tell from the exterior, but the inside is just the right amount of dark and moody. Great music, decor, and vibes PARKING: 5/5 - plenty of free spots in the next door Bishop public parking garage

Phenomenal- great food, great service all 5/5 stars! We will be back. We did the 14 course omakase and cannot recommend more! Every single item was perfect from presentation to taste!

So happy to have found this hidden gem and of all places in our neighborhood of Sandy Springs! I've been to a lot of sushi restaurants since I've been back in Atlanta and I'm just going to put it out there...this maybe the best sushi in Atlanta! For food, the front menu is their Omakase and back is there a la carte with appetizers on one side and sushi rolls on the other. We opted for the Omakase experience where we had sashimi for appetizer, three different courses of sushi, a Jack of All Taste course and a dessert course. Everything was beautiful and so delicious...I legit can't say which were my favorites because everything was so good! For drinks we got the lychee garden and passionfruit drink as well as a bottle of sake. The service was fantastic and I felt like each course was spaced out perfectly. We left full and happy and we're looking forward to when we can visit Norifish again!

10/10 experience! We came here with a reservation at 7:15 at the bar. We wanted to sit by the bar to see the chefs making the sushi and it was an entertaining experience. We were seated upon arrival and we had parked in the nearby parking garage. I ordered a spritz to have a cocktail to begin with and it was a refreshing drink. We ordered the omakase premium and that was a great choice! They bring out ginger and wasabi and the first fish was our choice of O-Toro Caviar Rice. I love o-toro so this was definitely a favorite. It was very rich and a great start to the meal. The 2nd course was a platter of 6 pieces of sushi. They instructed us to eat it left to right: madai, hirame, hamachi, kanpachi, hon maguro, and shima aji. Madai was a more limey and yuzu refreshing piece of sea bream. The hirame was my favorite on this platter and that was a piece of flounder and I loved the flavor of the vinaigrette and chive. It was very rich but a good transition from the madai. Then we had the hamachi which had more of the Yuzu flavor and ponzu and it was the first yellowtail. The kanpachi was also a yellowtail but I'd say that had more of a kick to it. The hon maguro was also a type of tuna and I personally liked this ones kick to it too. The honey wasabi aioli was delicious on it. And last of this course was the shima aji which had a similar lime taste that we started with but the board really had a good transition through flavors. The 3rd course topped the 2nd only because I love the amount of tuna. From left to right we had: special, o toro, sake aburi, hotate aburi, chu toro aburi, a5 wagyu. I didn't catch what the special was exactly but I think it was flounder. I'd say this platter was more savory compared to the first. My favorite was definitely the O toro and I just loved the fatty tuna they had. It was such a perfect fish and it had caviar topping it. Yum! The sake aburi was a seared salmon which genuinely surprised me with how good the mix of flavor was. It wasn't quite cooked fully just seared on top and I loved that. I typically prefer raw salmon so this was a great combo. The Hotate aburi was a scallop which even a raw scallop by itself tastes good so you can imagine how amazing the nori aioli and yuzu salt added more flavor to it. The Chu toro aburi was more delicious fatty tuna and it had tomato added but I honestly didn't even notice that. The flavor was so subtle. And lastly we had the wagyu which just melted in ur mouth. In the 4th course, I think I could have the Chu toro quail toast everyday and not get tired of it. It was delicious and it was the first warm dish. The lobster rice and hotate uni were very refreshing. At this point we were so full. They brought out a bonus crab sushi appetizer platter for us that I wish we had more room for so we could fully enjoy. That was light but savory and a big portion of 8 pieces. I'd definitely go back for that. The dessert was a matcha sundae that was a perfect end to the experience. There were strawberry pieces and a fried banana as the fruit in it and a piece of cornbread I believe. The matcha was a good size and as someone who doesn't like matcha, I still enjoyed it. Overall, this experience was amazing and I would definitely recommend coming here! I left fully satisfied and having tried many different flavors. The service is great and very friendly. I'd expect to spend an hour and a half to two hours for the full experience here.

NoriFish is a new addition (little less than a month) to Sandy Springs, located right before Starbucks on Peachtree Dunwoody Rd, intersecting Hammond Dr. For parking, you can park in the Bishop apartment complex parking deck and right as you exit the deck (free parking), the restaurant is next to the string lights. There's a tiny signage right above the door. We sat at the sushi bar but honestly you don't miss out too much if you sit on the regular table seating since the food comes out in courses and the sushi bar is set too high that the only way you can see the chefs making the food is through your phone, pointing down. Also, only if you're into talking to the chefs and felt like there was a bit of awkward interaction in the beginning but it was nice getting more insight on where he started and etc. Sean Park is the main chef for NoriFish and he is co-owner of Okiboro. Another joint that I love and saw that their second location is opening in Buckhead in the old H&F location. Okiboro's other co-owner opened up Scoville Hot Chicken that's been popping up like crazy all over Atlanta, again another staple place for me. Between the 2 chefs/owners, they're taking over Atlanta. I think the next on their list should be yakiniku and include miyazaki wagyu! The chef had asked what my favorite omakase place was in ATL and honestly it wasn't until recently until Mujo and Omakase by Yun had all opened up. OG was Sushi Hayakawa but I honestly don't have one until we tried this place and I'm not trying to spend double the amount of top sushi joints in NY at a place in Atlanta like Mujo. Also, for sushi, our usuals are One Sushi (original location), Kang Nam, MF, O-Ku and Umi. Food wise, everything was excellent. NoriFish offers 3 course menus and we chose to go with the Premium since it offered all the signature sushi from the al la carte menu. Premium came with 5 courses and while all were amazing, below were my favorites from each one. 1st course - Uni caviar (I'm a uni over toro person) 2nd course - Hirame, Buri, and Hon Maguro if I remember correctly but basically loved all the citrus flavors on these! So light, fresh, and refreshing! 3rd course - It got better and better as you move to the right but I believe Uni, Hotate, and surprisingly, the Chu-toro were most memorable. 4th course - My favorite was the ceviche as it had a hint of salt that drew you in with the citrus flavor. 5th course - Mango sorbet It may have been that we had saved our appetite for this meal, but we were still a tad hungry afterward and snacked back at home. As one reviewer said, this isn't a true omakase per se but still can't deny it has amazing food and wouldn't certainly give 1 star on that just alone. While content, I do agree that service can be heightened for an omakase as it wasn't a match to the places in NY but understandable. Also, I definitely think it should add purse hangers on the sushi bar. Other than these tiny misses, we will definitely come back and trust that it would perfect their opening bumps by our next visit but was still satisfactory for 3 weeks in!

Came here on a date and it was such an awesome first omakase experience. The restaurant itself is beautiful, dim, and cozy. We chose the omakase standard, and there was so much food,. Everything paired so well with each other and the price was reasonable for the amount of food given. I would say that the fish on the nigiri were brushed/topped with sauces/toppings than I was expecting, but it didn't bother me much. The lobster rice was probably my favorite non-sushi component of the meal! The service was also amazing and very attentive. Overall, was an amazing experience and would love to come back in the future.

I would say prob. One of my top 3 Omakase places in ATL. Highly recommend their Omakase Premium to get the full experience. Pretty generous portion & the pricing is reasonable as well. OMG, that Chu Toro Quail Egg Toast tho...... sooooo gooooood!! Lol. I'd come back just for that LOL :P

Awesome, simply just awesome. Small place, great atmosphere and very innovative dishes. Didn't really want to post this, I don't want to wait to get seated. If you like Sushi, this is a must

The couple walked into the new sushi restaurant in the city, excited to try the highly-rated establishment. The atmosphere was chic and modern, with a sleek design and soft lighting. They were seated at a cozy table, where they were greeted by the friendly waitstaff. As they looked over the menu, they selected the petite omakase and the standard omakase and were blown away by the flavors and presentation of the dishes. The sushi was the freshest and most delicious they had ever tasted. Even though the portion size was adequate, they went back to the menu and ordered their favorite nigiri - madai (red snapper), hamachi (adult yellowtail), hon maguro (bluefin tuna), and sake aburi (seared salmon). Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience and they couldn't wait to go back.

Came here for a dinner on a weeknight and was blown away by the service and the food. The omakase was quality without the extra fuss. The shrimp appetizer, scallops and lobster rice were particular good. Basic omakase was $105 and felt very worth the quality and quantity of the meal.

The 18 piece prefixed menu was a Culinary Masterpiece! Service was spectacular. If you complain about this restaurant you belong at an all you can eat sushi buffet.

I don't leave yelp reviews, but have to give this hidden gem some love. Did the premium omakase and they knocked it out of the park. Best sushi I've had! Go here!

This place was recommend by our friends and it did not disappoint! We got the Omakase standard and ordered some oysters to share as well as the toast. Both were tasty and flavorful. The Omakase is not true Omakase but we were discussing that we do not mind enjoying the meals at the table. Every single dish was flavorful, fresh. The flavor tends to lean a little citrusy/creamy. The server was very nice and helpful. He made great recommendations for the drinks. This is great spot for a date night or with friends too!

This is the worst sushi restaurant ever we have visited around Georgia. A NO for your consideration to visit this restaurant. It was our anniversary so my loved one wanted to create something special for us. The restaurant was chosen with a reservation of Omakase for 2 person. But the bad experience ruined our night. We believe we are deceived by this restaurant's marketing strategies. As we've learned from previous omakase restaurants, customer will be seated close to the chef, interaction happens when the chef prepares the food. This is part of what makes omakase special. However, there is no such thing during our dining at this restaurant. We were seated at the last table in the row, by the window. Under the dim light, and noise, the server brought the food in and began speaking out names of each sushi from left to right, right to left. That's it! If we don't order omakase, what else can we - your customers hear from your server and service? - Portion: Small servings. We're still hungry after leaving the restaurant. They were so small that we didn't have a chance to appreciate the flavor of the fish that they are proud of. - We ate sushi with oiled wasabi and pepper: Instead of soy sauce, they served a little bowl of oiled pepper and wasabi. To me, it's just chopped long green pepper and wasabi stir-fried in oil with a little salt and sugar. It was introduced to improve sushi flavor. We put the oil on the top of the sushi and eat. So, after all, we can only taste the oil in sushi. Yes, with omakase, the customer trusts the chef. However, we were betrayed! The chef's lack of nutrition knowledge is reflected in this "creative" oil bowl. Gastric issues caused by a combination of oil, strong spices, and raw food. Moreover, when serving such oily food with ice water, both the chef and the restaurant owners demonstrate a lack of knowledge of the Asian cultural aspects of ying and yang. - It took us nearly 2 hours for such Omakase course. We spent our time just to wait for dishes to be served. It seemed forever to us, I was so hungry that I ate the oil wasabi instead. And to my surprise, when we asked for another wasabi bowl, the server said that it will be extra charged. I did not remember exactly, it was around $2.5 or $3 for that little bowl. We were still ok with it. - After we completed the tiny matcha ice cream, we received our receipt and found something wrong. Our server and chef didn't even realize they had missed one of the dishes. They did not forget to charge us the full price and the extra oil bowl, but they did forget our dish which was clearly stated in the menu and our reservation! In their dim light restaurant, we had to read the receipt and menu again to assist them figure out what was missing. Ridiculously, we closed out everything with a matcha ice cream, but when they found out their mistake, they brought out the missing dish, and we, their customers must start over our night, wasted our time once more! This obviously revealed both the chef and the restaurant's owner lack of understanding in food services and hospitality. We left the restaurant with bad experience ever on our special day.

Amazing food and hospitality. This is our current favorite sushi house and date night place. The chefs and the servers and informative, friendly and attentive. The food is always fresh and exciting. First time we were for the big splurge/ celebratory omakase and we were blown away. Yesterday we selected our own small plates and nigiris. Everything was perfect. As cherries on top, the chef recognized as us as repeat customers and thanked me writing a review about his restaurant and sent us two sublime complimentary dishes! Cannot wait to go back.

Absolutely loved my time here and it was worth every cent! Came here for a date night and it did not disappoint. The ambience and food was overall amazing, and I hope to come again! Service As soon as you walk in, you are immediately greeted by the hostess and staff. We were seated immediately with our reservation, but I believe there were walk ins as well. The host and maybe owner or chef (?) came by multiple times asking how our food was. They also took the time to explain the menu options as well. They were so informative while explaining each piece of sushi as well as informing us the best way to eat it. Food The quality of the fish was amazing! We opted for the Omakase Standard option. We also ordered the hot green tea, which the server refilled with hot water each time it cooled down. The sushi was amazing quality that melted right in your mouth. The presentation was beautiful as well. Each bite was flavorful. Not to mention the BEST wasabi I have ever tasted!!! The omakase experience ended with homemade yuzu gelato that was absolutely delicious and light. Perfect way to end your meal. Overall 5/5 stars and definitely recommend going for a date night, celebration, or even to treat yourself on a night out! The different omakase options make it very affordable for the quality and you can order a la carte as well. Thank you for the amazing experience!
