“It was so flavorful and delicious, and it was nice that a sushi restaurant had a ton of other items other than sushi, though I still divulged in that as well”

Food was good but very underwhelming considering the price. Beware of the per bottle/can corkage fee.
The dishes are good, the prices are ok, specially when you go on the discount days. My only issue is with the service.

“We stopped in during restaurant week and were very impressed by the menu they had.”
We stopped in during restaurant week and were very impressed by the menu they had. An incredible value for high quality fish and well composed courses. The tuna fireballs were a highlight along with the nigiri omakase. If you're looking for a new spot to check out, definitely stop in. Pat, the manager, and Mike, our server, were incredibly welcoming and enhanced our experience!

“We ordered two mixed drinks, and a variety of maki.”
We ordered two mixed drinks, and a variety of maki. The Chicago Crunchy Crazy roll was our favorite! The spice level on the spicy salmon maki roll was actually spicy which was refreshing. The matcha creme brulee was also one we'll be back for! The drinks were amazing and not why we went so a very pleasant surprise! Pat served us and I think was also our bartender (we came soon after they opened so pretty empty). She let us take our time so we never felt rushed and she was very attentive. Good local business and we'll be back!

“Edit : Come back again for over a year since we moved out from the neighborhood Never disappointed,...”
Edit : Come back again for over a year since we moved out from the neighborhood Never disappointed, friendly service, better ambience they added more details about lighting and hanging plants on the lights. Super cute decor and more cozy vibes. I’m glad that they didn’t change the menu much but they have full bar service now! Cockage fee is for byob but that is fair for me cuz we still save $$ and be able to order more sushi ! Spicy udon stir fried is our go-to! Well done Nori! Cute little sushi restaurant in Lakeview!!! My favorite are Sakura maki and Spicy octopus maki. My husband always gets Sushi entree. We love tuna Tatar appetizer and spicy miso. They used to be BYOB but if you bring your own they only charge for $5! And open it for you with real wine glasses not tacky wine glasses from BYOB places. FYI they do offer Japanese beer on the tap:) but too bad that half off Monday no longer exist but who know?? After they fully back open for dine in again !?!?

“This was my first time here.”
This was my first time here. We ordered seaweed salad, miso soup, unagi cucumber sushi, sweet potato tempura, crispy tofu, garlic rice tofu. The service was amazing and the food was hot and good. Overall, I recommend going here for a casual night. You won’t regret. I have just had better sushi. The miso soup was my favorite

“This is your typically neighborhood sushi restaurant.”
This is your typically neighborhood sushi restaurant. Reliably good food and friendly service. Monday’s get mad busy with half off sushi, but you can get the same deal at lunch. They close for an hour between 4-5p. Try the fried banana sushi for a treat!

Food was good but very underwhelming considering the price. Beware of the per bottle/can corkage fee. Service was definitely not up to expectations: Slow and our server forgot parts of my group’s order.
