We believe that the experience of eating hand rolls is truly something special and worthy of its own restaurant, so we created KazuNori — The Original Hand Roll Bar.℠
At KazuNori, our commitment to quality is unwavering, just as it is at SUGARFISH. We serve only the freshest fish, along with specially harvested seaweed, housemade sauces, and our signature warm rice.
KazuNori is the first restaurant of its kind, and we think that eating one of our just-made hand rolls, with its crispy nori, warm rice, and delectable ingredients, will redefine what you think about sushi.
Stylish restaurant with an industrial vibe specializing in Japanese seafood rolls.

This spot is walk-ins only with no reservations, and the wait on a Friday night was about 30 minutes to an hour. Friendly staff and good service. The handrolls are very filling because they use a lot of rice, about the size of a small snowball in each hand roll. I ordered six rolls, and that ended up being a bit too much for me. Overall, it was a pretty good experience. The lighting is fine for dining, but it’s not great for taking photos. Personally, I’m not a big fan of when the protein is chopped up and mixed with mayo. I prefer it served on its own with the sushi rice. For example, the scallop, crab, and lobster were all mixed with a mayo sauce.

KazuNori never fails to disappoint me! Clearly a top notch place to enjoy some handrolls, and why not, some sashimis! This time, we tried their daily specials: monkfish liver and sea bass sashimi, their classic toro sashimi (fatty tuna) and some of their rolls! From the rolls, definitely the toro and yellowtail were the stars of the show, but honestly, everything that we tried was just amazing. I just wished they gave us some seaweed to enjoy the toro sashimi properly, but other than that we had a smooth dining experience. They do not take reservations, and at peak hours queues get a little bit crazy – but definitely worth it!

It is relatively a small sushi restaurant/bar. Sushi is freshly hand rolled with the warm rice right in front of you. We had different 6-hand rolls and The Nozie- all rolls were fresh and tasty. The sashimi menu is very limited, literaly 3-4 choices only.
The sitting situation are stools by the bar, no tables or chairs at least at W 28th St location. I’d go there for lunch or brunch unless you like to order a lot of sushi for dinner. Big plus was that we walked in without any wait which, as I was told, a common situation.

A simple but really satisfying maki spot for a quick, tasty meal.
There was a bit of a wait, but once the food came out, it totally made sense why people line up.
Nothing overcomplicated — just fresh ingredients, clean flavors, and comforting bites.
Easy, casual, and definitely worth the wait.

Tried hand roll bar for the first time. Really enjoyed the experience. Loved how each roll is made fresh right infront of you. They had many different choice of fillings, but you could also choose from their sets. Staff was friendly, atmosphere was nice.

This was my 3rd attempt on a Friday.
The place gets packed pretty quick since the open at 11:30 am for lunch at 12 noon. I had the special room which was bass liver, and a hand roll and bass sashimi. Very flavorful and yet very delicate. No soy sauce needed for any rools to be honest, even the rice is delicious and I am not a rice fan to begin with so means a lot. Overall an amazingly simple and yet indulgent experience, a must try.

Passed this place many times in the evening and there was always a super long line outside.
Today at lunch we were finally able to get in without much of a wait. The hand rolls were perfect. We did the 4 roll special with iced green tea and it was delicious. Service was great and speedy. Food delicious. Atmosphere excellent. Also, love that they state this is no tip restaurant.
note: This is not good for larger groups; 2-3 people tops as it’s counter service.
My pictures were not good but the food was excellent

Had a great lunch with the 5 rolls option – the rolls came warm and super crispy. A true delight. Despite a very busy Christmas period, there was no queue and no wait. Highly recommended.

Very speedy line as the dining time is pretty short. Walk in only restaurant. Fish is super fresh as usual and no tipping necessary just like Sugarfish. The standouts for me was the yellow tail. The crab was a little too fishy in my opinion

I don’t even know where to start with this place. My friend had been hyping it up for months, and I finally made it there on the last day of my New York trip. Let me tell you, it was pure food heaven. Every single hand roll was a masterpiece. You feel full after two, but your brain keeps saying one more, and you just can’t stop. The lobster roll totally stole the show. And I absolutely loved their authentic Japanese touch of kindly reminding guests not to tip, which is such a rare and classy move in the US. From the first bite to the last, this place is a perfect 10 out of 10.
