Try the sashimi or nigiri when you're in the mood for sushi.

Started off with spicy garlic edamame, which hit just the right notes of heat and flavor. The Samurai roll was a standout—perfectly crispy tempura shrimp paired with fresh, flavorful rice, and salmon. The special pressed box roll, with tempura shrimp, avocado, spicy tuna, and crispy rice, continued the trend of perfectly balanced dishes. We finished with the Surf N Turf roll, which was so good we couldn’t even stop to take a picture. NORI is a hidden gem, but it won’t stay that way for long.

I love all the food here. There are so many sushi roll options and they’re very filling, huge portions and good price!! The ichiban roll and crunchy roll are my absolute favorite Also, the dirty fries are a must!!! My husband and I agree they’re one of the best fries we’ve ever had. Trust me… We also always get the Thai tea, it’s not too sweet. The matcha creme brulee is amazing too!!! Love this place
