This place was so good! The food came out in a n orderly fashion. The waitress was nice and prompt. The sushi was fresh and delicious. I loved the cherry blossom roll! The music was nice not too loud. Overall 10/10.

This spot never fails to delight. Their sake selection is excellent, but their specials really shine if you’re a sushi aficionado. From Kobe beef to Japanese uni, Hokkaido scallops to Ora King Salmon, Bluefin to perfectly prepared Otoro… Fresh and delicious ingredients treated with respect are the hallmark of this izakaya-style restaurant. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Parking can be challenging, so be aware if you’re having trouble finding it!

Upon walking in, it’s a cozy little vibe with the quintessential Japanese kitschy stuff as decor. The smell in the air was almost a little chemical? Don’t know why but it didn’t smell like food.
We sat at the sushi bar and used the paper menu and pencil provided to mark off the quantities of dishes we would like.
My friend and I both ordered salmon nigiri. I ordered tempura udon, she ordered a speciality roll, and we both ordered a nori roll from the 8 piece menu.
When the food came, her 8 piece roll was there, but my avocado roll was only 6 pieces. When I asked the sushi chef about this, he said “there should be a note about how the avocado roll and cucumber roll are only 6 pieces.” I looked on the menu, and no, there was no note. They’re specially listed under the 8 piece menu. I mentioned this and he said “that’s just what we do I’m sorry.” That was pretty annoying. I was also like damn, ya can’t even spare to make two more pieces for dropping the ball on mentioning that? It’s alright, but annoying.
The salmon nigiri is $7/order and man, that is the smallest slab of fish and dollop of rice I’ve ever seen, for almost $2 more than the places I usually order. It wasn’t all that buttery and fresh either.
The udon is a disappointment. They just put udon noodles in miso soup and serve a few pieces of tempura on the side. I was hoping it would have its own broth, but it was just miso udon soup. The tempura was soggy, not delightfully airy or crispy. Sigh. Well, on to the next!

Best sushi of all the town. Genuinely hand crafted to perfection with so much flavor. My husband and I have been coming here for years, and never once have had a a bad experience with either food or service. Always polite and friendly.

We tried several places that make sushi in the area and I was always thinking: why there is not something comparable to Masu and Bamboo? And then I found Nori. Not the same but the best I found so far in the area.. Fish is fresh, avocado is green and it seems way more authentic than the ones that just cover everything with mayo sauces . We only did take out and when my husband goes to pick it up he always comments on how nice everybody is . The quality of the sushi is worth the cost, sushi is not something I would personally try to save money on.
Edit: last time we ordered sushi there the quality was definitely worse. The roll that was fried was in the same box with the raw fish rolls and the salmon was absolutely not the “melt in your mouth “kind of , it was hard and I had to make an effort to eat a few pieces , many pieces with gray avocado.. considering the money I spent for it this is my last time here.

Consistently great sushi and lovely service. Fresh, delicately seasoned, lots of options. TOTALLY Worth the few extra dollars you will spend here. I’m a picky sushi eater and I have enjoyed my meal and experience here every time. I have dined in several times now. Will definitely be back.

Came here on a whim hoping for the best and unfortunately got below average. Fish quality is poor portion sizes are very very small, the chef cuts the fish very very thin. With all the other places in town, Sushi and Maki is far far better and less expensive you can certainly do better than this place. Staff was fine, but again I would not come back here with the quality that I was served tonight.

Nori is my favorite sushi in Portland. The prices are just right and the service is quick and kind. The people that work here are personable and attentive. I always get the spicy edamame and the Cherry Blossom roll. It’s the all time best sushi roll in my opinion. Please run, don’t walk, to Nori for a late lunch/dinner.
