Sushi Nori

The sushi here is super tasty and really fresh. They plate everything so nicely! The staff is friendly and gives great service. The place has a nice vibe, perfect for a good meal. You can park in the building on weekends.

My friends and I went in before it got busy, with a reservation of course. The staff was welcoming and attentive, with wonderful hospitality touches of pouring our first sakes for the table, to clearing empty dishes promptly. The food was fantastic and made for a wonderful first time. Fresh, quality fish. The Omakase Set was the right move, along with the temaki.

Good enough nori sushi spot. Not the most authentic Japanese food but it is tasty. The karage chicken tasted more like Taiwanese popcorn chicken - it was tasty though! The waiter messed up our orders and forgot one order unfortunately. They couldn’t check our order and had to ask us to point to the items on the menu 🤦🏻‍♂️ Free parking in the nearby garage after 6pm.

I visited Sushi Nori around noon and was lucky enough to be seated immediately without a reservation. Although the exterior / location of the building is not the best, the interior was clean and well-lit with an inviting atmosphere. I ordered the pesto ramen and was blown away by how delicious it was. 10/10 experience, I will definitely come again when I'm in the area.

I got lucky and managed to get seated without a reservation. The restaurant is small but has a nice, vibrant atmosphere. Just a heads up, you’ll need to find street parking. I ordered the hand temaki set and the chirashi bowl, and everything was fresh and full of flavor. They make it an easy and less messy experience to eat the temaki, which is unique to see. The sushi rice in the chirashi bowl had a nice vinegar balance, though it was slightly mushy. Overall, it was a great experience, and I’d definitely come back. 4.5/5.

This was a disappointing experience as I was looking forward to visiting this spot due to recommendations and high rated reviews on social media. The main pros of this spot are that the servers were generally very attentive. The space was modern and clean - though it was slightly cramped. Now, to comment on the cons: 1) The appetizers were quite dry and nothing to rave about - the agedashi tofu flavors were bland and the takoyaki batter lacked flavor. They were quite pricey too for the quality ($15). 2) The handrolls, which should have been designed to be the highlight, were very mediocre. The rice to fish ratio was very off - there was way too much rice and the rice was not seasoned at all. The fish too had too much sauce on it - although they charged extra for the higher-end fish such as the Uni, soft-shell crab, the sauce was overpowering and the fish did not have the high quality you would expect for about ~$20 per piece. This place is designed for a fun out-going with friends on a one-time basis. However, I will not visit this spot again. I paid almost $100 and was not satisfied with the quality of fish and rice compared to other lower price point sushi spots I have visited in the past.

Mind you - the $45 chirashi looks like it’s of a big portion, but the rice only goes half as deep into the height of the bamboo container. There’s a partition inside that lifts the rice and makes it look like it’s all the way to the top. The fish were pretty fresh, though the chutoro sashimi were thinner than the other ones. The temaki had a rather good fish-to-rice ratio. This restaurant is for those who don’t mind the higher price point -averaging $6-7 for a regular temaki and over $10 for premium temaki, and $45 for a chirashi that’s half-full.

Great service and food for the price! The slices of fish were THICK. All the dishes were delicious and service was fast. Would definitely recommend.

A cozy sushi spot tucked into the heart of Eastlake -- everything was delicious and I liked that the sushi came wrapped so you could eat at your own pace without it getting soggy. I liked the temaki set, favorites were Scallop and Bluefin Tuna, they're all solid and not skimpy on portions. Spicy Tuna Chip appetizer was fantastic too!

Sushi Nori has the best rice I've ever had -- perfectly cooked and seasoned. The temaki melts in your mouth, and every bite was incredibly flavorful and fresh. The only thing I'd love to see improved is the interior design -- it's a matter of personal taste, of course, but a more minimalist style with natural wood elements would elevate the whole dining experience even more. Still, the food alone makes this place absolutely worth visiting!

Such a hidden gem with the freshest fish. The hand rolls are reasonably priced for how much fish they give, but specialty ones are quite expensive (a single toro will run you $20). Miso soup is very small. Service is nice, the space is clean but small.

My new favorite handrolls place in Seattle for sure! They provided so much fish and flavor to each handrolls. I highly recommend getting the sampler so you can try a little of each. The yellowtail hand roll was to die for! The appetizers were equally as delicious. I can't recommend this restaurant enough. They seated us pretty quickly and although the server did forget to bring 3 of our handrolls, the service was really good! I love the atmosphere of the restaurant and it felt very clean.

Omg if you love hand rolls this is the place for you. They have an abundance of variety hand rolls and even vegetarian options as well. I think I ordered half of their hand rolls . They don't skip out on the fish, the rice and fish proportion was perfect. Also, the fish was super fresh, melts in your mouth, especially the uni and salmon rolls. The tempura and karage were good appetizers but it wasn't anything special. Service was also super fast, but the space is very small, so you should make reservations. They also have free parking in the garage on weekends.

Second time here and it was still good. It wasn't very busy on a Sunday night. We had: 1) agedashi tofu - 4/5. Huge portion. The tofu wasn't as silken as I like them (I feel like they used Chinese tofu that's more airy), but it was sufficiently crispy on the outside and the sauce was good. 2) calamari - 5/5. I love me some squid legs and this was also a good portion. Good flavor. Didn't love the dipping sauce, but I didn't really need it. It was seasoned enough. 3) tonkotsu ramen - 2/5. Not much flavor and my carb-loving son only ate half. 4) temaki - 4/5. Definitely have these and not ramen here. We got a variety, from Wagyu to uni, but skip the fancy stuff and go straight to the spicy hamachi. That was our fave.

The Signature Temaki set is such a flavor bomb. I would definitely recommend it. The Chirashi bowl was also good with a nice variety of very fresh Sashimi and perfectly seasoned sushi rice underneath.

This has been on my list for awhile and so glad I finally made it. The signature temaki set absolutely went far beyond my expectations, they were super filling and flavors were amazing. It's a much more unique sushi experience than I'm used to. The restaurant was very quiet and cozy when we visited, it had a very relaxing ambiance. The staff was very kind and attentive. Definitely a special occasion type of place, it's on the pricier side but I really want to go back to try their omakase!

We came in right at 6pm for my birthday reservations and they were very busy, even on a Tuesday evening. I will say that there was not much greeting us at the door as we all came staggering in. They're pretty small and cozy and it is really easy to know what to order. They have a huge selection of hand rolls and although we thought complicated they got all of our orders correct! They came all at once and it was a lovely time! We plan on coming back!

I came here with friends on a tuesday night! We made reservations and were seated right away. It's not a big restaurant, but it's cozy with a minimal aesthetic. We all ordered the signature hand roll set which included five rolls for $30! Our favorites were the spicy hamachi since the cucumber made everything feel really balanced. The salmon avocado was a bit of a miss since everything felt too soft and mushy. In the end, we all enjoyed our experience but felt that the handrolls themselves weren't mind blowing. With that said it's a really cute place and it was fun to unwrap the handrolls -- fish portions were also generous.

Sushi Nori was a fun experience -- we made a reservation and were seated promptly. Here is what was ordered: - SPICY TUNA CHIPS: Absolutely delicious. So many awesome textures at play. Well seasoned, the nori wasn't overly crispy and a great conduit for the tuna, the crispy skin on top was a needed addition. Tuna was yum! - SIGNATURE TEMAKI SET: This is a well curated selection. As it goes with hand rolls, made a bit of a mess. More rice in the roll than I expected. The tempura and blue fin tuna were my faves. Least fave was the salmon avocado, needed a bit more seasoning. - TEMAKI SET (CUSTOM): I didn't have this but my friend had some of the signature pics but also the classic spicy salmon and spicy tuna. She enjoyed both but had the same critique for the salmon avocado. I was surprised at how filling the meal was. Came with ginger and wasabi on the side. All the fish was fresh and delicious. Flavor for temakis is pure as opposed to too experimental but can come off as lacking.

There is a place in new york called nami nori with a really similar "taco sushi" concept that I was obsessed with - also has a similar price point to this place. When I found this place, I was really excited to try it. Came here on a Friday night around 8:30 PM. The place was a little chilly, so plan on wearing a sweater/jacket in the winter. I wasn't a big fan of the decorations and the seating felt cold and uncomfortable. The white lighting was especially odd with the rest of the place so brightly decorated. The food itself was pretty mediocre. My friend got the signature temaki set and although it was good, it wasn't something we would come back for again. It was missing some factor. We also go the Agedashi Tofu which was also ok. I wish they had put the sauce separately because the crispy tofu on the bottom became soft and doughy which was rather unpleasant. The Crispy tofu tamaki was good, but missing flavor. I really liked the chilli crunch part, but I used the flavor from the Agedashi tofu to add to it. Overall, disappointing from the food aspect. The service was quick and good.

Stopped by Sushi Nori on a Sunday at about 2pm and the restaurant only had a few other parties. We were able to get immediately seated. The restaurant is quiet and nice for a more casual lunch date. We tried the veggie tempura, signature temaki set, and a chirashi bowl. The temaki set was tasty and had a good amount of filling, and I liked how each roll was distinct. My personal fave was the scallop. Even though this is a hand roll spot, I actually think the star of the show was the chirashi bowl. Each piece of fish was delicious and fresh and cut thickly. I do wish the sweet shrimp head was served fried. Also, I am very picky about sushi rice, and the rice they serve is cooked perfectly and seasoned very well! My fave chirashi bowl I've tried so far in Seattle - highly recommend!

The best sushi I've had in the Seattle area, this is me and my partners go to place for sushi. They serve it in hand rolls, omakase or rice bowls with sashimi. The fish tastes very fresh and tasty. It's a small restaurant but has a good vibe for it especially for dates. The service is good as well. My favorites are the creamy scallops and salmon sashimi rice bowl.

This place is top tier! The inside is cute, very minimal, with lots of tables. It's best to make a reservation! Man.. thinking about it, I wish I would've tried everything on the menu lol. The fish was sooo fresh! Everything was sooo good. Idk what more I can say about this place lol. Our server was super nice and helpful. He didn't think me and my friends could eat all the food we ordered but we did lol. We ordered a whole bunch + more! The uni, the salmon, the spider roll, the scallop, literally everything was delish! Even the lychee soju was good. I think about this place often and want to go again!!

Sushi Nori is the BEST hand roll restaurant I have ever been to. All of their fish and ingredients are super fresh and they don't slack on protein (in fact the ratio of protein to rice in each is 3:1). Each roll is beautifully presented and if you order a Temaki set, they look like pieces of art or a sushi mosaic. I came here with three friends over the summer; only one of my friends had been here before. For appetizers, we ordered the SALMON CARPACCIO (+$15) and the SPICY TUNA CHIPS (+$15) to share. The SALMON CARPACCIO came with a spicy ponzu sauce which was slightly acidic to offset the fishy taste of the salmon- it was just alright in my opinion. However, the SPICY TUNA CHIPS were amazing- super crunchy seaweed chips served with a scoop of spicy tuna on top. I would 100% get the chips again, but in all honesty, we probably didn't need appetizers as I could barely finish my meal. We each opted to create our own set of 5 Temaki (rolls) each. The rolls range in price (anywhere from $5 to $25 if you want the Japanese Wagyu steak roll) and are categorized as Signature Temaki, Premium Temaki, Classic Temaki, and Vegetable. They also now serve hot items such as curry, ramen, ikura bowls, and unagi don- which I hope to try next! Anyway, for my 5 piece set, I ordered the - SCALLOP TRUFFLE ($15): if you like creamy scallops, this is the roll for you - SPICY SALMON CUCUMBER AVOCADO (+$6.50): an affordable roll with just the right amount of kick. - SNOW CRAB MIX AVOCADO TEMPURA SHRIMP (+$8): this was basically a tempura California roll with a lot more filling than rice! Comes with huge slices of fresh avocado on top. - SALMON IKURA (+$12): super fresh and oily salmon roe (eggs) - and the SPICY HAMACHI CUCUMBER RICE CRACKER (+$7): this was the most memorable and unique of the rolls i ordered as I've never had a roll with rice cracker in it before. Both the cucumber and rice cracker added great crunch and texture to the soft fish! My friend who had been here before also ordered four TORO CHIVES CAVIAR (+$20 each) to share, as he said we had to try it at least once. I was so stuffed after finishing my own five piece temaki set, that I barely had room for this one. But it is the creme de la creme of the seafood temaki (unless you want Uni (sea urchin) which goes for market price) and so I had to eat it. The toro was super fatty and filling as toro should be. Was it worth $20? Probably not, but they use extremely high quality fish. A once in the lifetime splurge. I will note that the rolls are quite messy to eat and you definitely can't eat them in one bite. My rolls were falling apart as I tried to bite into them- you will need extra napkins for sure! Also, the rolls come in plastic which you pull off so that you can roll them at the table (they have directions have pictures at the table). Service is excellent. Our waitress was very kind and somehow remembered all our orders, even though each Temaki had such a long name. In terms of atmosphere, the interior is simplistic and modern Japanese. Everything is super clean. I would recommend making reservations ahead of time as they definitely have no shortage of customers eating here. They offer free garage parking after 6pm on weekdays and all day on weekends (all spots). Note that the garage isn't super big, but it's not too hard to find street parking on a weekday especially. Overall: 6/5 for food, 5/5 for service, 5/5 for atmosphere

We visited on a Sunday evening with a reservation. There were a couple tables available, so we were able to get seated early. The service was pretty fast and everyone I interacted to was nice. The reason I'm giving this 3 stars is because of the food. Realistically, this is probably a 3.5 (just because of the fish portion), but everything tasted fairly mid. The temakis either had too much sauce, or no flavor at all. For $30, I'm not sure if the food was worth it, but the restaurant and food aesthetic is pleasing. Like other reviewers mentioned, the aesthetic is nice, but don't come if you're looking for yummy food.

I got lucky and managed to get seated without a reservation. The restaurant is small but has a nice, vibrant atmosphere. Just a heads up, you'll need to find street parking. I ordered the hand temaki set and the chirashi bowl, and everything was fresh and full of flavor. They make it an easy and less messy experience to eat the temaki, which is unique to see. The sushi rice in the chirashi bowl had a nice vinegar balance, though it was slightly mushy. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'd definitely come back. 4.5/5.

I came here with some friends after seeing the beautiful hand rolls on tik Tok. The interior of the restaurant was very minimalistic in design. It was not too busy, but we also made a reservation just in case. There is also a parking lot that is free after 6:00pm which made getting here super easy. I got the signature set. The presentation was super pretty. I think I was slightly underwhelmed with the rolls. I did enjoy it and would come back, but I don't think it was super special in taste. They were very creative, but all combinations I've seen before. I think the hype around social media made my expectations too high. I enjoyed the experience and would come back though!

Amazing flavor, the hand rolls were fresh with lovely presentation! Servers were very nice and answered all of our questions. Restaurant was clean and had a peaceful vibe as well. Definitely will come back the next time we're in Seattle!

TLDR: instagram worthy food. Mediocre-average low quality at this price point and fairly bad service. Simple-to-no decor ambiance inside. Clean Came here on a Sunday night with a reservation for 2. Arrived 6:30pm but got seated after 10minutes to wait for a spot to open up. After seated, took about 15-20minutes before a server came to take our order (the first time checking on us). After taking our order, we got our appetizer 10-15minutes later after. Another 10-15minutes later we got our temaki and chirashi bowl served. At this point, no server checked up on us (Didn't even serve us our water yet) The premium ($20 each piece) toro temaki and Uni Temaki are very disappointing. The toro doesn't quite melt and it's not sweet as you'd expect a toro to be. Uni kind of melts, but doesn't taste buttery rich. It's very tasteless. Santa Barbara uni tasted like heaven compared to this (allegedly theirs was flown in from Japan) Chirashi bowl seems to have some good pieces. I love ebi (sweet shrimp), but it's really not sweet. It seems that the bowl looks small but tall-ish and overflow, but if you actually look at the top behind the tamago, it has a circular wooden piece to prop it up. Even inside the bowl, there's a thicker similar looking circular wood plate inside. So, really, what you see if what you get. Inside is literally hollow with maybe 4 spoonful of rice only. Signature temaki tasted just ok. Too much strong marinade and sauce to cover up the seafood and you barely tasted anything. Usually if a restaurant or even market sells you strong marinated ingredients, they are usually lower-quality or not as fresh so they use condiments and marinades to cover it up. Oh.. the amount of plastic used in their temaki to wrap the seaweed is insane. Probably the only somewhat met expectation item was their takoyaki as it is nice and warm, well-seasoned and you can bite into pieces of squid. After the whole dining session, the server only came to take our order, served food, served water (late, and never refill), and for the bill (which we had to ask for)

Found this restaurant on social media and it was one that was worth the try! Definitely make a reservation for this small sushi spot as this maybe seats 10-13 tables! For two people, we split an omakase set and 5 temaki set, which you can customize based off of a set of 20+ assortments. Every single piece of fish in the omakase set was so fresh like it almost melts in your mouth. The A5 wagyu with caviar was the "treat" as it was probably $25+ for it but was definitely worth it! Service was great, waiters and waitresses were super attentive (but also they wanted you to dine in and dine out due to the people waiting for tables). Overall I would definitely come back here, but maybe if I wanted a "treat yourself" meal. Hint- if you come on a weekday after 6, you can park in the garage. I got lucky and was able to park outside the restaurant via street parking.

Okay let's be real for a second. Does this place and food look aesthetically pleasing? Yes indeed. Does the quality of the sushi do itself justice? No, not at all. To elaborate on my review, the sushi quality probably compares the conveyor belt quality in terms of quality and freshness. Does the price justifies for the overall experience? Well it depends on your preference between aesthetics vs quality.

The ambiance is clean, bright, and intimate, setting the perfect stage for a great meal. We kicked things off with the vegetable tempura, which included squash, yam, sweet potato and broccoli was perfectly executed--lightly battered with a wonderful crunch. Despite initial hesitations, we ordered the tonkatsu ramen. Thank goodness we did as the broth was incredibly smooth and flavorful, almost creamy, and the egg was cooked to perfection. The highlight of our meal was definitely the temaki. It was a fun and interactive way to enjoy our food. While some rolls got a bit messy, the freshness of the fish and bold flavors made it all worthwhile with the soft shell crab being a standout. Overall, I highly recommend this place and can't wait to return and explore more of the menu!

I would recommend to get their signature Temaki set ($30)! It includes blue fine tuna poke, salmon, shrimp tempura, creamy scallop, and spicy hamachi hand rolls. Chirashi ($45) was very delicious and had very high quality cuts of fish and includes a miso soup. If you're a fan of amaebi (sweet shrimp) with the head, it was my fav part of this dish. Mine also had tiny sliver of uni which was so creamy and sweet. All cuts were super soft. For appetizers: I had calamari ($11) which was huge (I think it includes the head and tentacles) and perfectly deep fried. It comes with about 6-7 pieces (I ate most before I forgot to take a pic before hand) I also had the salmon carpaccio ($15), it was simple and delicious salmon cuts with ponzu on top of fried crispy garnish, the jalapeño on top was not spicy

An absolute yes for a unique and flavorful sushi experience. The temaki here is the best in the Seattle area. The nori is perfectly crisp, the rice warm and seasoned, and the fish tastes ocean fresh. We got a little bit of everything, because we just couldn't decide, but we were thoroughly impressed with every bite we had. Loved the miso, and we loved the variety of temaki options, along with the creativity and color of the night spread. Service was attentive, the kitchen was quick, and it's the perfect spot for date night.

This was such a beautiful experience! I came here on a date and it was really good for sharing. The food was so fresh, and there are plenty of vegetarian options, the mango one being really good! All the sushi has a sort of taco shape with the nori being covered in plastic so it doesn't get soggy. The presentation is beautiful! Our favorite sushi was the spicy hamachi! The service staff are so helpful in letting you know how much to order, and even let us get one set at a time so that we could enjoy the food slowly. It's a bit pricey, but great if you're wanting your taste buds to be pampered!

Online reservations available. Garage and street parking. Bright and vibrant decor with many tables and open kitchen. We ordered the omakase which had some amazing combinations- scallop with truffle and yellowtail with yuzu jelly were my faves. Loved how the temaki was wrapped so the seaweed doesn't get soggy.

Absolutely love this place. It's pretty affordable and the fish has always tasted super fresh!!

This place specializes in Sushi hand rolls, and it's a mixed bag. About half are good and half are so so. Worth the trip. Calamari here is also good

No wait when I came here with my boyfriend! We got seated right away. We ordered both the temaki set and chirashi bowl. I really enjoyed the signature temaki set, it included blue fin tuna poke,crispy shallots, avocado temaki, salmon,avocado,wasabi sesame temaki, tempura shrimp,cheese, avocado temaki, spicy hamachi, cucumber, rice cracker temaki, and my favorite one of them all, the creamy scallop,red tobbiko temaki. It was so smooth and literally melted in my mouth. My boyfriend liked tuna temaki. It was yummy and delicious. The chirashi bowl was great too! I love the uni and fresh fish that was included. Overall everything fit together. Other than the food, the interior and the environment is chill.The employees are nice and the place is well lit. I don't think you could be disappointed here!

Loved this place! The interior is very clean and modern, and the service was fast. We ordered the 5 set hand rolls and spicy tuna nori chips. The spicy tuna appetizer was flavorful and crunchy. We appreciated that the hand rolls had plastic sleeves so the seaweed stayed fresh and didn't become soggy over time. This was great so we didn't have to rush. All the toppings and fish were fresh and umami - they are a bit on the heavy side compared to traditional hand rolls, but were still super delicious!

Really enjoyed the handrolls, ambiance, and overall experience at this spot! My husband and I made reservations in advance for a Saturday night during dinner. Service was friendly and welcoming. We were seated in a little corner where we both got booth seating. Food: + hot tea + signature 5 hand roll set - tuna, salmon, shrimp tempura, hamachi, and scallop. My favorite was the hamachi and tuna. They tasted so fresh and were so flavorful! The salmon was good but lacked flavor and the scallop was a bit fishy for me so my husband ate that one. The shrimp was also very tasty and I liked the flavor combo! + chicken karaage appetizer - super tasty and generous portions! + matcha crepe cake - a nice way to finish off the meal! Overall, a great hand roll spot with fresh fish and tasty options! Would definitely be happy to come again for sushi date night!

Came here with a friend for her birthday. We definitely wanted to try a lot of menu items and we were worried that the hand roll set wouldn't be enough food, but it's actually really filling and definitely enough. I think the hand roll set is a good value for what you get and I definitely would order again. The Karaage was not super memorable, and the pesto Ramen was definitely unique. Service was really quick. Overall, it wasn't the best spot I ever had, but I thought that it was decent value.

Service was great and the ambiance is quaint but hip! Great variety of temaki, but all so delicious! Definitely had to try the omakase set too, especially for the price point. Overall, great experience!

Originally tried to get reservations elsewhere but the group was too big so I decided to book here just because it was on my list and I really wanted to try it. Handroll places are popping up in Seattle like boba shops. The restaurant it self is a lot smaller than other ones around town. The staff is nice enough, not anything beyond that, service was okay. They're busy tending to the place so they really only came by a few times. We ordered screaming poppers to start and sake. Screaming poppers never came haha. For handrolls, I decided to pick my own 5; salmon& ikura, scallop &truffle, snow crab mix avocado, toro w/ caviar, and uni. While I do like the plastic saving the nori from getting soggy, it is quite wasteful. All the rolls were okay to me, little on the smaller size. I was expecting some flavors but they were all very mild. I did really enjoy the toro and uni because I could taste the freshness but was not a fan of scallop and truffle at all. It was so oily from the truffle, it completely overpowered the scallops. Overall, great experience and time here. I'll probably come back to try other things.

Soooo happy with my experience here. I love hand rolls and this is a great place to get hand rolls at a good price point. We went in on a Saturday night around 8. The place was really empty so we got seated right away. The server was friendly and attentive. The restaurant itself feels clean & modern. The food was good and sizable. I got the 5 piece signature meal which is $30. It comes with 5 hand rolls (left to right in photo): the tuna poke, salmon avocado, tempura shrimp, spicy hamachi, creamy scallops. Each comes with the nori wrapped so that it stays crispy up until you're ready to eat it. 3 of the 4 fish hand rolls are mixed w/ sauce. All 4, including the salmon which does not have sauce, tasted fresh to me. The tuna poke sauce is delicious. Slightly sweet and salty, it pairs well with the rice. For the salmon avocado roll, I was told the wasabi sesame seeds in the has a bit of a pop and complements the salmon and avocado well (I didn't try it myself). The tempura was crispy. The spicy hamachi was pretty standard. The creamy scallop was surprisingly sweet, not my favorite of the 5. I'm interested in trying more of their hand rolls again. Will definitely be back :)

Small Japanese restaurant on Eastlake Ave. White colored interior. Doing good business for Sunday lunch, but we made a reservation online so didn't have to wait. Menu has some appetizers, their signature temaki sushi and a few other items. We didn't get any temaki, but did end up getting the chirashi bowl which seems to be one of their more well-known items. Also got the karaage for appetizer and the pork katsu curry which is a special. The karaage was pretty tasty. Nice fried exterior which juicy chicken inside, nicely seasoned. The pork katsu curry has a good portion. It's two pork katsu cutlets, and then rice covered by eggs, with some curry sauce on the plate, and taste was pretty decent. As for the chirashi bowl, it has a really nice presentation and good for photos, but it is pricey Quite a variety of raw seafood on there including various fish, and also scallop, uni (sea urchin) and one shrimp. Added together this was a very filling meal for two. Total was $80-something before tax and tip, so a little on the pricier side, but seems in line with getting seafood at Japanese restaurants around these parts.

Sushi Nori is a great restaurant to go to if you need to fill a hand roll craving! It's got tasty food with reasonable portions and friendly service. The place is pretty tiny so try to make a reservation if you can. If this is your first time here, I recommend relieving yourself of the stress of figuring out what to order and getting the signature temaki set. This comes with the spicy hamachi, ahi, salmon, creamy scallop and shrimp tempura temaki. Each roll was packed with fish; the portions were honestly a lot larger than I anticipated. You'll definitely have a good chunk of fish in every bite. I also appreciated the instructions on the table that outlined how to properly eat the rolls (perfect for first-timers!). The creamy scallop was my favorite by far. It was super tasty, although may be too fishy for some. I was also pleasantly surprised to find that the spicy hamachi actually did have a bit of a kick to it. I was least impressed with the shrimp tempura roll just because it was the simplest in flavor profile, but it was worth a try. I also thought it was an aesthetically pleasing restaurant. The inside has really bright, white walls and floors, but the tables are pretty close together so it's hard to have a conversation without overhearing. I would definitely come back to try more of the hand rolls and also the chirashi bowl - the table next to us ordered it and it looked delicious! I'm looking forward to my next visit.

This was such a cute find! We ordered the signature temaki set and was not disappointed. The concept is unique and the sushi is excellent. I would definitely come back again and might even try other items on the menu! Parking was also pretty easy on weekends as they have a small lot on the side. Otherwise you'll have to find street parking which may be a hit or miss.

Finally stopped by this place on my most recent trip to Seattle and my only regret is that I didn't try this place sooner! My party and I got to the restaurant right when they opened at 5pm on a Saturday and the place was still empty. I made a reservation for 5:15pm just in case the place would be packed, but since it was still empty, I think if you show up right at 5pm opening without a reservation, you may be able to get a table fast. The restaurant is very small with probably 10 or so tables, which filled up very quickly after opening. So I would recommend making a reservation online just to have your table secured and avoid any long waits! I ordered the signature set and #1, #3, and #5 under the premium section. In short, every piece was amazing!! You can really taste the quality difference! The waiter told me that they recently switched their scallops to a higher quality and bigger in size variety and the scallop handrolls were one of my favs as it was so fresh and sweet! I also usually don't enjoy raw tuna things, but I loved it all here! The calamari and chicken karaage appetizers were also delicious! They had the perfect flavor and texture. I can't wait to come again and try other things on their menu. If you're debating on trying this place, do it!! You won't be disappointed! It is a little on the pricier side but it's definitely not crazy and I personally believe it's well worth it due to the quality of the ingredients. I would say by far, the best handrolls I've ever tried! Service was also superb! They made sure to ask if we had any questions as it was our first time but at the same time, was not too pushy about it, which I really appreciate! Food was quickly made and brought out and empty dishes were cleared almost immediately. It's only been a day and I already miss the place!

I love coming to sushi nori. It's hard for me to deviate from ordering the signature set. I tend to get full off one set. It's a good variety, not all are winners but I like trying everything. My friend order the special they had which was a salmon ikura chirashi bowl that looked great. I've also tried the agedashi tofu which is good.

We actually tried coming here on a whim a couple weeks ago without a reservation and ended up waiting 30 min before giving up. So learn from my mistakes and make a reservation!! We came here (attempt #2) again with a reservation and were seated immediately! The chirashi bowl was delicious. The fish was good quality with some less common items (scallop, uni, raw shrimp) that you don't always see in a chirashi bowl! We also ordered two sets of rolls. The rolls were all very tasty, I liked the scallop one (although I'm not a huge fan of the sweet and creamy sauce) and also the salmon one. I also like how the packaging ensures that the seaweed is crispy as you eat! I did feel that some of the rolls were a little too overpowering or salty. We ordered two signature sets and the chirashi bowl, which was a LOT of food. We were super hungry and ended up taking home leftovers. The hand rolls are deceivingly large! This restaurant is certainly on the higher end, so this is definitely a place i would come to every once in a while and not for any sushi craving.

My partner and I did a day trip from Portland to Seattle for quality time. We walked in on a Saturday around 5ish pm and got seated right away. I love the esthetic inside of this restaurant! We ordered the hand rolls and it was fresh and flavorful. If you want to spend extra money, get the caviar hand roll! It was delicious and for the experience. It's a great spot for lunch or dinner with friends, family or your significant other! Pictures of sushi would look stunning on social media!! Overall, we really enjoyed Sushi Nori. I'm already looking forward to our next visit!

In all honesty: it was not my favorite sushi place for hand rolls. I came in with very high expectations but was sadly disappointed. We waited about an hour to be seated for a table of 2. My friend from SF came and wanted to try this restaurant. We had high expectations because we have tried other restaurants in seattle and LA that have similar concepts and dishes and we were sadly disappointed by the quality of these temaki hand rolls. The only hand roll that I enjoyed was the salmon handroll. It had a decent amount of salmon in the roll. The rolls had fish that I felt and tasted like not high quality. I think that the toppings were too much and overpowered the fish itself + one of the rolls was a tempura which i also did not like. We give the hand rolls a 2/5. The spicy tuna chips were too spicy for me personally where the spicy mayo just overpowered the tuna itself completely. The spicy tuna chips were a 2.5/5 for us. The restaurant is fairly small with limited seating. Inside there is seating typically for groups of 2-5. I would call them in advance if you have a larger group.

First time trying sushi rolls like this. Overall, food was good, nothing that stands out. Overpriced for an average Japanese restaurant. I tried the signature 5, my favorite was the spicy hamachi; creamy, flavorful, and had nice refreshing texture with the cucumber. The fried yam, mango, avocado was also great! Was pretty disappointed with their A5 wagyu, over cooked and chewy. The creamy curry beef udon is also not great, curry tastes similar to the golden curry you buy in a box. Service was basic, not friendly nor rude. The place was small and quiet, which was nice, don't expect them to seat more than 4 people. We didn't have to reserve or wait 2 at 7pm on a weekday.

The quality and quantity of fish to rice ratio was 50/50 which was much more then I expected. We also got multiple appetizers, nothing special but all pretty tasty. The inside is also cute but I wouldn't not bring a group larger than 5.

3 food 4 service After seeing all the post from IG, it made us want to try this place. We ordered some rolls, vegetable tempura, and the chirashi bowl. Presentation was on point but food was just ok for me. The rolls didn't really stand out and had too much sauce and rice. Chirashi bowl was probably the best dish but we had better sushi elsewhere without making driving to Eastlake. Glad we tried it but probably won't be back as there are other options closer to eastside.

Been eyeing this place for a while and I finally got to try it! It really does live up to its hype. Loved the spicy tuna chips we ordered for our appetizer. It had the right crunch and texture, surprisingly had so much tuna! We got the signature temaki set and you really get a bang for your buck! They give you so much fish which is what I like. And they do a good job of combining the crunchy with the mushier textures. The service was good. It's a smaller dining area and we did make a reservation but it wasn't super packed on a weeknight. It's a cute, clean ambiance. My complaints are I didn't like the cream cheese with the shrimp tempura and 3 of them had the avocado spread. The texture and the taste got a little dull when it was repeated. I would prefer no cream cheese and maybe 1 of them with the avocado spread or change it up with avocado slices instead. Wish they had more rolls with the cucumber slices. The PARKING GARAGE is available for parking.
