NORI

We went last night for our annual first date anniversary. As always the food was incredible. I missed the picture of the hamachi collar as it was gone before I could remember. One of our must dishes each time we go. The rolls are always on point and this time we tried the ramen which was terrific on a chilly night. Service is best during rush hours as it gets later staff start heading home and it drops off a bit. One of our favorite sushi places in the valley.

Not the best, but better than I expected for Phoenix.The Maguru and Albacore was delicious. The new York roll was really good. Happy hour was a bargain. The waiter was very nice ... A little lax bringing soy sauce, ginger , and wasabi . The place is tastefully decorated and very clean . Thank God they were not busy because the place of course is under staffed. We would definitely eat here again.Oh... The Yellow Tail Kama was delicious. If you don't know what that is, you need to try it. It is the Cat's MEOW !

Our server Naliar was absolutely charming, so sweet and attentive. Definitely went above and beyond. We were seated at a booth that felt like a room to ourselves! Nice perk of arriving before the dinner crowd!The table nearby had ordered Ramen soup, steak teriyaki, and chicken teriyaki. Must say it all looked fantastic, the ribeye definitely caught my eye.The scallop sushi was the best and the lobster added to our roll was delish. The fuyomaki roll was just okay but all in all a great meal!

Mom and I enjoyed a quiet Wednesday lunch at Nori. It started with a pleasant surprise with the unique presentation of gyoza. Veggie tempura is a go-to for me and it was a good portion with a nice variety. Although it wasn't as flavorful as it looked, I still enjoyed the spicy tuna crispy rice app that i ate as a main meal. The winner, though, was mom's $20 lunch special bento. It included miso soup, salad, Cucumber salad, a tuna roll, gyoza, and nigiri. It was filling for a great price. Also, we could have eaten a huge bowl of the Cucumber salad! It was delicious! Although we didn't have any cocktails, the menu looked intriguing as well. Service was great and helpful. We just weren't blown away. Wished everything had more flavor. But, to be fair, we don't always eat at the highest quality sushi restaurants so are used to more sauces. I would still absolutely return here

Great food and fun service. We love coming here for super fresh sushi. The cocktails are fun and the food is always delicious. I love getting their poke bowl and edamame. We prefer to come here on "off hours" because it can get loud and bustling, but it's still a good time even then! Definitely a good date night spot

We went for a quick lunch on Wednesday afternoon, this restaurant is located in the corner of high street. The ambience is intimate and upscale, it is a great place for date night or just a romantic dinner. However we sat outside for lunch, their lunch menu is pretty great but the prices are on the higher end. I went with sushi combo and it came with miso soup, salad, sushi, sashimi and more. Everything tasted fantastic, fresh and really refreshing. The fried dumpling was a little salty for me, the sushi was good but not the best. Overall a good place and had a good lunch. Service was quick and the server was very sweet.

I think it might have been the server's first day. It was not good service. Servers were hanging out and talking. We had to ask for water refills. Waited for what felt like 20 min for water but it was probably 10 after he said he'd be back with water. Maybe it was just an "off" time to be there. It was around 5:30pm. We had to ask another server for wasabi and soy sauce. Other tables in our section were also out of water, so that's why it was prob his first day. I like the vibes of the place. Decor was cute. Hostess was nice. The restrooms were clean. Food was pretty good. The big eye diver was really good. I love spicy scallop rolls so this was like an improved version of it. They don't put tons of rice with it, they put enough to maximize the flavors. 10/10 would eat it again. The lollipop roll had adorable presentation. No rice in case you're watching carbs. Very fresh and perfect for hot summer days or any day for that matter. Yassss. This isn't the only place I've had it or seen it, but it's still very good. Spicy tuna. Yum, always one of my go-to's when getting sushi. Good balance, fresh tasting. Calamari: very crispy, not too greasy. I like the wasabi Mayo drizzled over it. The arugula pairing also gave a nice balance to it. Ramen: kiddo didn't love it. She liked the noodles. The broth had a good flavor but was salty af. The egg in there was good. I love a good soft egg so she gave it to me bc she's not with it. If you get it to go, and add some water to it, it'll probably be really good. It was a nice combination with the chicken and egg and mushrooms. Noodles were cooked well. Just too salty. Overall- did I like the food? Yes. Would I be back? Probably, but more so for takeout unless I was having like a girls dinner or a relaxing date. Bc yes, service annoyed me that much so I didn't get dessert here.

Convenient, intimate, solid. Especially in an area with so much good sushi, I would not say I was blown away by the food. A friend and I split a spicy yellowtail roll, a rainbow roll, and an entree. Each unique bite of the rainbow roll was tremendous, but the other two dishes weren't as exciting, especially considering their prices. The orders' relative mediocrity provided an opportunity to ask myself why I still enjoyed this experience so much. In addition to amazing company ;) they were open until 11 that night - much later than most restaurants of this caliber. When we got there, the friendly host sat us immediately and quickly had a server take our orders. The dishes came out one at a time, so right as we were finishing one, the next part of the meal arrived at the table. The restaurant itself is beautiful. Tucked in the corner of what I assume is a pretty busy area, it has a clean and modern atmosphere that allows you to relax and enjoy a meal among the busy Phoenician outlets.

Five stars from start to finish.Start where a review of a sushi restaurant should start...the fish was very fresh great quality pieces. They were definitely understaffed and still our table felt well attended to. Staff very pleasant working as a team to make the experience seamless.Overall a great experience Bonus: get the nigiri or the sashimi so you can really enjoy the excellent quality of fish they have to offer

Have been there several times and food was excellent. Very fresh sushi, and great bento boxes. Can recommend wholeheartedly.
