Social Profile:

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 place is just fantastic. I love the low lighting Vibe, friendly staff, and how promptly your food is delivered! Not to mention the unique manner. you can custom any number of sushi rolls Or just go off the preset menu which is what I usually do (six piece). Each trial is freshly made while you wait and delivered to you one at a time in what feels like the perfect intervals.

When you finish, your stomach is always saying no more while your taste buds are saying more please! The absolute worst thing I can say about this place (for them), is that it is five minutes walking distance from where I live, which means I have to put up with my presence on a regular basis lol

Six stars out of five on all fronts!

Everything was spot on—from the freshness of the fish to the perfectly warm rice and crisp nori that held up until the last bite. Sitting at the bar made the experience even better, with quick, attentive service throughout. The quality you get for the price is impressive and makes it feel like a great value. If you want to sample a variety of hand rolls, their curated set menus are a smart choice and offer excellent value with some of their most popular options.

The fish tasted fresh and clean, and the sushi rice stood out with its perfect balance and texture. Everything felt thoughtfully prepared and enjoyable from start to finish. Definitely a place I would visit again, even though Sugarfish still holds a special spot for me.

I was left without my regular carpool buddy on a Monday night after work, so I decided to be mysterious and treat myself to a solo-dining adventure. I settled on Kazunori since their bar seating is perfect for dining alone, and decided on the flagship location of DTLA. I didn’t realize, however, that the DTLA location is right next to Skid Row. Even though I found street parking almost right outside of the restaurant, I felt unsafe as I walked over. The guard at the door gave me a little bit of comfort, but just out of safety alone, I would not come back to this location.

There were two empty spots at the bar, and I chose the one less cramped (it was still cramped). Service was lackluster. I didn’t even get a pair of chopsticks when I sat down and had to ask for them myself. 

I opted for the 6 piece handroll set: toro, yellowtail, salmon, bay scallop, crab, and lobster. The first half, the fish, disappointed me. The toro tasted flat. So did the yellowtail and salmon. But the shellfish were pretty good. I usually don’t like raw scallops, but the bay scallops were good. Fresh and slightly sweet. The crab was good too, but the crab is good everywhere. The lobster was fine.

I was still hungry after these 6 handrolls, so I ordered an eel handroll a la carte. The eel handroll was good. And it was hot. It was the hottest out of all the handrolls I had, presumably because it was taken right off the grill. In terms of size, it was also the most substantial. I wouldn’t say that I was full or satisfied even after the eel, but the eel got me to a point where I could comfortably leave the restaurant (I was hungry again later that night).

My bill came out to $45. For the quality and quantity of food I received, I wasn’t completely satisfied. I might be willing to try a different branch of Kazunori another time, but I would not return to the DTLA location.

We had a great experience at Kazunori Hand Roll Bar in Downtown LA. We each ordered the six–hand roll set, and while it was absolutely delicious, we both agreed that next time five would be more than enough—even when arriving very hungry. That’s a good problem to have.

One of the biggest wins was how easy it was to get seated. We walked right in and were seated at the bar with no wait, which was a refreshing change from the Marina del Rey location, where there’s often a line. Same high quality, same precision, just a smoother experience overall.

The hand rolls were consistently fresh, perfectly balanced, and served at a great pace—never rushed, never slow. Everything tasted clean and intentional, exactly what you expect from Kazunori.

I also really appreciate that the Downtown LA location is open late: until 11:00 PM on weeknights and 11:30 PM on weekends. That alone makes it a standout option for a late dinner that still feels special and well executed.

Small details matter, and even the restrooms were thoughtfully done—with both scented and unscented hand soap available, which I genuinely loved.

We walked from less than a mile away, and the walk felt easy and safe, adding to how relaxed the whole night felt.

All around, this location checks every box: excellent food, no wait, late hours, and a calm, efficient vibe. We’ll definitely be back.

Delicious and budget friendly. I should’ve chosen 4 rolls instead of 6, cause we started getting full after roll 4th

Great place for a more authentic hand roll experience! Always fresh, warm rice, and very reasonably priced hand roll sets of 3-4-5, or 6 hand rolls.

This is the ultimate hand roll sushi joint in DTLA. Cold beer and sushi are a great combo! If you go on an odd hour you can get in right away, but if you go during peak hours be prepared to wait. It is WORTH the wait!

Overall I had an okay experience. The service good, they were attentive to our needs. The hand-roll itself was nothing special, and definitely overpriced. I would not really recommend this place if you’re looking for a fulfilling Japanese food.

Great hand rolls, very basic but they really have their system set up well. Crunchy seaweed, hot rice, and great fish (the Toro is fantastic and the yellowtail is also not bad). Will return when in LA
