I went here 3 times and had amazing food and experience every time. I love their sashimi and crudo. The staff were super nice. Jesus waited our table last time and he was helpful, friendly, and funny. I tried the AYCE omakase once and after the main courses they brought a handroll every other course so I did not like that personally because i got filled up easily. Highly recommend.

The 15-course omakase tonight was the highlight of our weekend. We had friends visiting from out of town and decided to stop by for the all-you-can-eat omakase.
Every curated dish was exceptional. Chef Tu even served fish we had never tried before, despite my years of eating sushi all over Houston. Each piece was a true work of art…thoughtfully crafted, beautifully presented, and layered with flavors that kept your taste buds engaged from start to finish.
The experience was taken to another level, ending with a dessert that was just as unique and memorable as the rest of the meal. Nori Nori absolutely exceeded expectations, and we will definitely be back again with more friends

I decided to celebrate my husband’s birthday here, and it was phenomenal. It was just the two of us and our two best friends. I totally forgot to call ahead to request omakase, and since it was a Saturday (no omakase night), I thought we missed our chance — but our server, Khiem, went above and beyond. He somehow arranged for Chef Tu to cater an omakase experience just for us.
Chef Tu was amazing, so friendly, and the whole menu that night felt spontaneous and exciting. Each dish surprised us with its flavors, the presentation, and the aroma. Every bite was unforgettable.

We were pleasantly surprised to come across this restaurant. The wagyu bone marrow tartare was simply the best! The sashimis were really fresh. We’ll definitely go back and

Really solid sushi restaurant with great service.
The passion fruit margaritas were tasty. We ordered a couple of different hand rolls including the king salmon, spicy scallop, Toro, wagyu A5 and they were all full of flavor. The foie gras nigiri was great as well.
Good place for date night!

Alright Houston… let’s talk about Nori Nori Sushi in Chinatown. I went in for their Sunday All-You-Can-Eat Omakase, and let me just say this: this might be one of the most economical premium omakase experiences in town — and yes, with actual premium fish.
You know how some omakase spots are cute, artistic, minimal… and then your guy friends leave whispering, “I’m still hungry”?
Not here.
At Nori Nori, they are NOT playing the “tiny sushi for aesthetic only” game. They feed you. Properly. Fifteen courses properly.
The Experience
Sunday special is AYCE omakase (Sunday only), and weekdays they offer regular omakase. Presentation? Creative. Playful. Elegant without trying too hard.
They focus heavily on white fish selections, and let me tell you — the flavor layering is chef’s kiss. The cuts are done with beautiful纹路 patterns, so the texture hits differently. You don’t even need to drown it in soy sauce or wasabi. The fish speaks for itself.
And here’s the secret weapon:
They dry-age their fish for almost a week after arrival.
That’s why the toro was buttery, the Canadian oysters were pristine, and every bite tasted concentrated and moist instead of watery and bland. Not everybody in Houston does that. Big respect.
The Hand Roll Flight (Yes, I Made It a Runway Show)
They’re actually famous for their hand rolls, so of course I asked the sushi chef to line them up like a flight.
And WOW.
If you love fresh nori that stays crispy — they wrap the seaweed with an outer protective layer so when you’re busy taking pictures (like me ♀️), it doesn’t go soggy.
You pull off the wrapper and boom — crispy outside, melt-in-your-mouth inside. Perfect contrast.
The toro hand roll? Dangerous.
The texture? Light crisp snap → soft fish explosion.
My Favorite Bite
Lobster on toast.
It looks like a cracker but it’s actually perfectly toasted bread — super crisp, delicate crunch, warm lobster richness on top. That bite alone? I’d go back.
Also shoutout to the chopped hamachi with coconut jelly.
It comes in a round bowl that looks like dessert — sweet coconut jelly balancing the savory fish. Unexpected. Playful. It works.
Service + Vibe
The service is OUT of the world. It’s a team operation.
If it’s drinks, the bar comes.
If it’s sushi, the chefs handle it.
Water never empty. Energy always attentive.
Full bar. Beautiful cocktails.
And yes — Tuesday All-Day Happy Hour.
The decor?
Velvet dark green booths in the back for date night vibes.
Trendy, clean sushi bar upfront.
Bar section if you’re just here for cocktails.
Romantic. Modern. Polished.
Final Verdict
If you’re looking for:
• Premium fish without starving after
• Unique hand rolls
• Creative appetizers
• Beautiful presentation
• A celebration spot in Chinatown
Nori Nori is absolutely one of the best Japanese restaurants in the area right now.
I’ll definitely be back.
Because good sushi feeds your stomach.
Great sushi feeds your ego.
And this one did both.

We really enjoyed both of the chawanmushis, lamb chops were nice, the sweet shrimp was the best, and the scallop nigiri was very tasty as well. I had the nigiri flight and it was very good. My husband had the hand roll flight and he really liked one night stand. My drink was delish! Coming back for happy hour for sure.

Went here with some buddies to try their AYCE omakase. The atmosphere, presentation, taste, and staff expertise were all top-notch. However, it wasn’t quite “all you can eat” it felt more like a timed omakase where they pace the servings for the entire dining group. I understand everyone eats at different speeds, but it can definitely slow things down for others. I wish that part had been clarified beforehand, but overall, I’d still recommend this place for the quality and experience.

The foie gras chawanmushi was amazing and the tofu in it is hot and melts in your mouth. The hand rolls are very fresh and the madai was my favorite. The lollipop lamb chops were tender and came out hot. The truffle mushroom pasta was actually really good and loved how it came out. Recommend making a reservation before coming because the place is small and bar seating will be your last resort instead of a table.

I came for my birthday and Ben was our server/bartender, and he made my birthday 10x better. The hospitality and environment was great, and the food/drinks was amazing! I’d come again to try the other things on the menu including the AYCE omakase. Thank you for the hospitality!!
