They made our night so special ❣️We had a great meal. My husband is not a vegan eater but I am. The sushi was delicious and to be able to get vegan dessert is amazing.

A perfect date spot for vegan lovers! We ordered the Volcano and Dragon Maki from the menu which were must haves. Spicy Tan Tan Ramen bowl was filling and definitely worth it. In dessert we ordered the Raspberry cheesecake which was the best until now. Definitely recommend this place. Cocktail were ok.

This place is friggin genius. The food was absolutely beautiful, and SO delicious. We had a volcano roll, an Austin roll, edamame gyoza, and a chick’n dish, all of which were fantastic. The atmosphere was lovely (we sat on the patio), the server kind and timely, and the drinks good too. Reasonable, non-pretentious, upscale vegan eats.

Rating: 4.3/5 [Doordash Delivery] Our first trying Nori was phenomenal. The second visit was still great, just not quite as impressive as the first. The prices are on the higher side, but the quality is solid overall. Dragon Roll ($16.49): Tempura asparagus, nasu (Japanese eggplant), and cucumber topped with avocado, sweet soy sauce, and sesame seeds. This was my second favorite roll. Spider Roll ($16.49): Soy paper roll with tempura seafood mushroom, spicy toona mix, avocado, radish sprouts, wasabi mayo, and unagi. This was my third favorite roll. Volcano Roll ($15.49): Deep fried roll with spinach, avocado, and sweet potato topped with spicy mayo, sweet soy sauce, chili sauce, caviart, and tempura onion. It didn't really taste deep fried, but I'm not mad. The the flavors were on point so it ended up being my favorite roll of the night. Chick'n Karaage ($15.49): Small portion for the price. The chicken was a bit soggy and didn't taste deep fried, though the seasoning was good. Nigiri Sampler ($20.49): Includes six pieces. The tomato "tuna" was interesting. I liked it, but my husband didn't. I couldn't tell what the salmon one was made of. The rest were just okay.

My wife and daughter love sushi, so we came for my wife’s birthday and celebrated at the end of our meal with her blowing out a candle on a Belgian Chocolate cake. It was a fun end to a nice meal. We started our meal sharing two plates, one an Impossible Gyoza (Japanese dumplings) which were so-so and the second of Cauliflower Wings which was Cauliflower florets dipped in batter and deep fried, these were delicious. Then the ladies shared 4 plates of sushi - Creamy Crunchy, Shiitake Rolls, Manhattan Roll and Volcano. All were pronounced delicious. I had Japanese curry with eggplant, it was also delicious. The food was excellent, unfortunately Nori my be a victim of its success in that they are trying to accommodate too many diners. The tables we’re very close together and it was difficult to maneuver around tables to get to the restroom as we were almost rubbing elbows with the tables around us. The restaurant felt a little claustrophobic and it was quite noisy so it was difficult to hold a conversation in a normal voice. Additionally the wine pours were miserly. I was the only one drinking wine and I paid $12 for perhaps 4 oz of Tempranillo. Our total bill excluding my wine was $140.
