You want sushi that’ll change your life? The Cozy Roll. Want something simple and filling? The poke bowl. Want something delicious and sweet that makes you feel like a little kids again? Try the fried cheesecake. You won’t find anything on this menus that’s unsatisfying... the whole place is amazing- from environment to staff. Go for an excellent time and a full belly! :)

I love this place! The food is fresh the staff is friendly and courteous. I am a fan of the udon and the hibachi lunch/dinner never disappoints. The portions are pretty large and the food never lacks in flavor. I also love that they have so many different salads and this is also one of the few places that offers shrimp shumai!

Service was fast and friendly, very clean. Ordered deluxe sashimi platter and they definitely gave us more sashimi than we ordered. All 3 rolls were delicious, prices very fair for what you get. Will be back

Great food at good prices! The sashimi slices are big! Food is fresh and it's a very chill vibe. Nice spot for dates or family lunch.

As an appetizer we tried the Gyoza! We ordered the fish tempura, royal shrimp and Hawaiian rolls. Y'all.... this place is AMAZING!! Sushi was very fresh and hot! The service was absolutely superb. Our waitress came by to refill our waters 3x plus a couple more times to check on us. She didn't miss a beat! We were in and out in just 30 minutes!!! That's literally record timing! It's so nice on the inside too. You can see the chefs in the kitchen at work from the table. We could tell from their faces that they definitely take pride in their work! I would also like to add that when you pull up to the restaurant the windows are blacked out. You will appreciate it when you're sitting down and you don't get blinded by the bright headlights of the cars that park right out front! This is our go to sushi place from now on! Magnificent food, service and atmosphere! 5 STARS!

Always very good food. The place is always very clean and everyone is very friendly. I’d recommend this place over others similar in the area. If you’re a fan of Panda Express, come to nori instead. Same prices, for more food and much better quality in food.

Nori is such a nice place to go to enjoy great food, service, and atmosphere! Today Annalise made our sushi as we sat at the Sushi Bar! We loved having a great conversation with her and thoroughly enjoyed our Sushi Rolls, Tuna Salad, and Crab Rangoons with yummy sauce! It's so enjoyable to have their hot green tea and indulge on such fresh sushi! All the staff is very friendly and efficient! What an awesome restaurant on 9 Mile Rd. near Target! Sooooooo convenient!
