The concept of Nori Bar was sparked by a desire to make sushi an affordable and approachable experience for a wider audience. We wanted to create a welcoming atmosphere where people could enjoy high-quality, fresh fish without the need for formal or upscale settings. Our commitment to handrolls ensures that you savor fresher ingredients, fluffier rice, and crisper nori, all within a casual and friendly environment. We take pride in sourcing our ingredients locally, particularly our daily supply of fresh fish. At Nori Bar, we stand by the three essential pillars of great sushi: expertly-selected seafood, the use of the fluffiest koshihikari rice for shari, and hella crisp nori. Our vision is to redefine the sushi experience, making it access

Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully executed dishes. We enjoyed the yakitori chicken skewers, blue crab, unagi, and 5-piece sashimi. The quality was excellent across the board. Cocktails were unique and well-crafted; both the Umami Old Fashioned and Sake Pina Colada were standouts.
Service was attentive and friendly, and you can tell the chefs take real pride in their work. The only downside is that seating is all bar-style and not the most kid-friendly setup. But if you’re looking for high-quality sushi and small plates in a modern, intimate setting, this place delivers.
Highly recommend for date night or a food-focused evening out.

Amazing quality food for a really good price! My husband and I celebrated our wedding in Hawaii and visited the Nori bar during this time and really enjoyed our time there. Not only was it some of our favorite hand rolls and sashimi, but the staff’s service was amazing. We were especially impressed by the attentiveness and quickness of the hand rolls chef! Everyone was so kind, making for an overall 10/10 experience.

This was our first time dining here and it didn’t disappoint. Service was excellent friendly staff and food was even more amazing. So good sushi I really enjoyed. The quality of each dish is definitely there so fresh so tasty so bomb. Ambience is good, cute small counter top dining. Seats are limited reservations are recommended. Plenty parking available in ward parking structure.

P We ordered delivery from this sushi spot, and it was absolutely fantastic! Every roll we tried was bursting with flavor and incredibly fresh. We ordered six rolls in total, and each one was delicious in its own way—carefully prepared, perfectly seasoned, and beautifully presented, even through delivery. The fish was fresh and tender, the rice was well-balanced, and the combination of ingredients created a delightful mix of textures and tastes in every bite.
Not only was the sushi flavorful, but it was also very filling—we felt satisfied without it being heavy or overwhelming. The attention to detail in each roll really shows the skill and care that goes into their preparation. The delivery was prompt, and the food arrived in perfect condition, which made enjoying it at home just as enjoyable as dining in.
Overall, this sushi exceeded our expectations. Every roll was a treat, and we will definitely be ordering from here again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned sushi delivered right to your door!

My bestie and I did the Omaske (forgive me as the spelling is likely wrong) experience which is $80 a person. Absolutely worth it as it gently fills you up and takes you on a delightful sushi journey that ends with green tea ice cream. Absolutely recommend for a special outing out catching up with a friend or celebrating a special occasion with a loved one as all the fish was fresh and delicious. 13/10 will have again!
Some of the dishes I had are pictured below some of them were way too good to wait to take a photo of.
P.S. Be sure to make a reservation as the bar seating is limited

I would never recommend anyone visit this place, they operate like a fast food chain and simply didn’t give a single drop of care for us. I did send my concerns to the owner, and I received back a chat gpt generated response with em dashes and spaces. The owner did not address or explain about the time situation, their chat gpt response simply stated “we will investigate within our team”. They also gave us tips on how to save money by ordering directly through their store (no thank you, you will not receive a single order from me).
Used to be a regular customer, bringing in lots of friends and guests. Lately, we started being treated “less”, and we have noticed the pattern. With time, the service got worse and worse. Not greeted, never given menus (we had no idea it was happy hour until another party next to us mentioned it), mainly ignored, and most recently, kicked out of the restaurant early as we were eating because they had “the next party waiting”. We are not blind, we see how you treat us.
We had a 3:45 pm reservation and arrived shortly before 4 pm. Instead of the 90 minute dining time listed on OpenTable, we were pressured to leave at 4:50 pm and had to pack our food in the middle of our meal for another reservation. We were rushed, repeatedly asked if we were done, and never given a proper welcome. We only learned about happy hour from another table, and the menu was provided almost an hour later when we asked for it. They took off “$4 happy hour shots” as we gulped them down because we were rushed as a “sorry”.
This was not the first time we felt overlooked. On several visits, other guests received warm greetings and complimentary items while we were ignored. I was even skipped on complimentary edamame while others received it.
We used to be loyal regulars from the day Nori Bar opened. I remember one of our first times was chatting with one of the chefs who told us about his music writer career and where they purchase the fish. We let him know that we live at Ward and would visit the Nori bar all the time.
I enjoyed Nori bar in the past. But after repeated poor service and a disappointing, impersonal response from the owner, we will not be returning or recommending this place again.
We are not welcome there, and it’s sad. You can find amazing fish, service, and vibe elsewhere. There are so many other incredible places in Oahu. For sure we won’t be spending our money at Nori bar ever again. It’s actually pretty expensive, and being treated like crap is not worth it.

This is probably the best spot in Hawaii for hand rolls. I can’t think of another place as fresh or as good as this. Watching Des work was amazing, and finding out she’s from Kauai made it even more special—I haven’t met many people here from there, so I really enjoyed our conversation. The staff is super friendly, and I love how everything is handled through the app—from ordering to paying—it just makes the whole process easier. The pricing is on par with what I am used to in Waikiki, but the quality and portion here is way better, which makes this my go-to place outside of Waikiki. I’m really glad I came.

We came in for Happy Hour. The poke trio was some of the best poke I’ve ever eaten. The fish was fresh and the service was excellent! You sit at a counter and order using the QR code. It reminded me of the sushi bars in Tokyo but with a modern spin. Definitely worth stopping in when you want a quick bite!

Their tonkatsu ramen soup was served to us with small rocks in the food, my friend chewed the rock, it split in 2, she could have swallowed that. Not an experience i would recommend
They couldn’t explain how the rocks got into the food, they said they were sorry and only refunded the soup.

This was my first time here. I was not impressed by there food taste/flavor. The menu was decent and ordering from the phone was efficient. The service was attentive and the restaurant was clean. The seared snapper was a favorite. Parking is available across the street in the theater lot or Whole Foods. Reservation is highly recommended.
