“ We ordered the 10 skewer combo and 2 additional Yakitori(skewer). The portion is a bit smaller than I expected, for 3 of us are not too full. The Yakitori tastes are good. Next time I will try the eat in cause the restaurant looks nice and comfy. Especially they are newly open and not too crowded. ”
“ First time going, visited last Saturday night and it was quiet, only a couple of tables filled. The atmosphere is nice, the service very attentive. The food and presentation was delicious! The ramen and appetizers are especially tasty and the sushi was very good too. I will definitely be back to try more of what this cute restaurant has to offer ”
“ The ribeye yakitori was pretty good, tender and a good amount of sauce to pair it quite well. The chicken skin yakitori was very crispy and delicious, with just a tad too much sauce which made some pieces overly salty, but no biggie. The salmon tartar was just okay, with the yuzu sauce being very sour. I think if the amount of avocado being increased a bit, it would have helped equalize its sourness with the creaminess of the avocado. The three rolls lunch special is very fresh and had more ingredients than rice, just like the special dancing lobster roll which had so much lobster (as evident in the pictures)! The rock shrimp lunch bento was also just mediocre, potentially due to it being overly battered and pieces were combined together. Overall, we really loved the freshness and generosity of the fishes in their normal and special sushi rolls! The restaurant also looks very pretty with beautiful floral decorations and is incredibly spacious and clean. The staff were all very friendly and quick with their service, with pretty plates and utensils. Will definitely be back and I'm sure with a little adjustment, the quality of their food will only continue to enhance! Thank you for reading and best of luck! (: ”
“ If you want a quick bite this is fine but if you want a festive atmosphere find another place! The waiter was in a bad mood, everything was uninviting and cold. ”
“ What an amazing experience we had at Izakaya Nori Restaurant ! An amazing tranquil environment with a lot of natural light and beautiful ambiance filled with traditional Japanese cherry blossoms at the entrance and greenery decorations everywhere. The tables have very nice ornaments that truly give off the Japanese culture vibes. Now the food was incredible ! Started off with some edamame on the house ! (They serve it to us before we placed our order) We ordered the 3 roll special and I ordered the Tokyo Ice Tea. In the pictures you can see the drink looks refreshing and was actually very tasty. Please take notice of the presentation of the plates and why I want to give this place 6 stars! The Philadelphia, California, Boston, Salmon, Eel Avocado, and Shrimp rolls were all amazing! Ended the dinner with two Sapporo beers and gave a nice tip! Would come again and again and again! ”
“ Everything is just amazing and perfect. The decor ia really nice and well-thought of. The food is out of this world with balanced flavors and spices as well as it looks amazing, too! Saving the best for last, the service is undescribable and the employees are so nice. We're definitely regulars. :) ”
“ The restaurant itself is very pretty, and feels very open and clean. I initially had ordered fried rice for delivery as I had a craving, and what I received was so good I had to come in person. My partner and I got rolls this time as well. The tempura are some of my favorite that I've had in a long time. The sushi was very fresh and satisfying. I also always love a good tempura ice cream for dessert. We couldn't recommend this place enough and look forward to coming back soon! ”
“ Excellent balance of taste and quality. The ramen has a deep, well-rounded broth, and the sushi is incredibly fresh with perfectly cooked rice. Great service and stylish interior — this restaurant is now my favorite. ”
