KazuNori | Midtown East

A casual sushi counter within a larger food court -- the line moves quickly, but would recommend coming with a small group (2-3) to get seated sooner. It's a no-tipping establishment, and IMO an affordable price for fresh fish. The 5 hand roll set was very filling -- they came out as they were prepared, to keep the seaweed fresh and dry. My favorite bites were the Toro and Scallop but baseline loved everything. I'll definitely be back soon!

This is a really solid spot for a good deal on tasty hand rolls! When I went it was about 8pm on a Saturday and there was a line of about 6 parties in front of me, but the line went pretty quickly. The place is counter seating only, which is nice because you get served directly after the hand roll is made.I got the Nozie which is six hand rolls picked by the founder, Nozawa. It ended up being toro, sea bream, crab, Yamaimo (cod roe and mountain yam), ankimo (monkfish liver) and eel. Each roll was good with my favorites being the toro and sea bream. Overall a solid hand roll experience, and at $37 including gratuity it's not a bad deal in the city.

Super casual dining--very good quality food and great value for what you get. Service is good as well. They don't take reservations, so you have to line up. That's the most intimidating part--the line. But they move fast due to the structured menu, and the food comes pretty quickly. I would suggest going there slightly earlier than the regular dinner rush or avoiding the theater rush. But again, I went on a Friday at 7:15 p.m., and the wait was less than 15 minutes. You can look at the menu while you wait and order your items when you are close. Once seated, the staff will greet you, and within minutes, the food will come. I got the Nozie set--six hand rolls for $35$. It may seem like not enough food, but I was stuffed toward the end. I added two more hand rolls to try because they looked interesting. And they were delicious. I highly recommend this place and all its locations for the price, food quality, service, and taste. A can't go wrong place to eat regularly.

Kazunori is one of my go to restaurants, and this was my first time eating at this location which is located inside the Hugh. We came here for a late lunch, and the large wrap around bar was full and there was only one other group in line in front of us. This is a fast/casual meal, so we were able to be seated quickly. The service was only okay as they switched chefs halfway between our meal. We both got the 5 hand roll set which came with toro, yellowtail, scallop, crab, and lobster. The toro and yellowtail are my favorite. The seaweed is crisp since the hand rolls are made fresh and there is a generous portion of fish. Overall a consistently reliable spot for good hand rolls!

A day of three sushi for $19 is what I like to get at KazuNori. It's cheaper than individual rolls. On Friday, I went to The Hugh to have my favorite sushi. I had missed it while away and had sushi only once in India. It was different and I thought longingly of KazuNori. I always switch the crab with scallop and this time asked if I could have all with scallop. The server suggested I take it as individual rolls which I will do the next time but may then only have two. As I ate slowly, I relished each bite. Sushi here is fresh and wrapped well. Service is efficient and kind. Being a weekday, it was busy with a queue. I far prefer the weekends.

Delicious hand rolls made to order. Service was attentive as you sit across the bar and can watch the rolls being made. I was talking to a friend so the rolls just magically appeared one by one. Too busy to take pics but you get the drift.

I have walked by this sushi bar for a while now and I'm glad I finally stopped in on July 5, 2024 and enjoyed several sushi rolls. I was more hungry than I realized and so I landed up enjoying five hand rolls. I had two lobster hand rolls, one yellow tail with a little bit of scallion hand roll, and two eel hand rolls. The rice in the hand rolls was warm and the fish was cold so that combination was absolutely delightful, perfect, wonderful. I really enjoyed everything I ate and I look forward to coming back here to try more from the menu.There are some specials at good prices, but when I sat down, I did not realize how hungry I was, and so I ordered two rolls to start and then realized I was starving and ordered three more rolls. ALL WERE DELICIOUS!! The service was very nice. The sushi chef hand delivers each roll to you and announces what the role is. In the case of the eel rolls, the sushi chef also says you don't need soy sauce. Yes, I knew that, and you probably know that, but I think it's kind of neat that he announces that because he really wants you to get the best taste of the roll, and in case someone did not realize that there is a special sauce on an eel roll, This is a helpful statement to make.Individual prices of rolls range from about seven dollars to $10.75. My lobster roll was $10.75. I enjoyed two of those. I believe my yellow tail roll was $7.50 and the Eel Roll was also $7.00 . My total of five rolls was just under $50 And I thoroughly enjoyed everything I ate. This establishment is a " no tipping" Restaurant.And now, after writing this review, I just may stop in again later today to enjoy several more sushi hand rolls. See my photos.

This was hidden downstairs in what was seemingly a food hall disguised as a corporate building? Nonetheless, the service was really fast and everything was delicious and affordable. A suggestion would be that they use seaweed to close off one end of the hand roll so when taking a bite, all the filling won't fall out of the other end. They have Kazunori in LA as well, so I'll definitely be going when I'm in the area because this was very worth it!

I love this place for a quick bite!Pros:+ Great for sushi lovers + The rolls have warmed rice - so good!+ Staff is super friendly!+ They make sets in reasonable sizes. I thought I could do 5. But I got so full after 3. They were really nice enough to allow me to go down a set!+ Amazing flavor profiles+ A quick lunch, but it never feels rushedIG: QueenOfAdventureNYC

Excellent service, Anna! So attentive, friendly, and fast. The best sushi that I've had in NYC so far. Noticeably better than Sugarfish NYC. The ambience here is like an open courtyard so not as posh as other restaurants but still inviting, open, fresh.I'll be back!
