Nori sushi restaurant feels like little family business. Not sure if it is though. The food is always good, the personal is super nice. We love their sushi 🍱. We consider it to be best sushi in Sarasota!!

Recently had dinner here and was pleasantly surprised at the great service and food. We ordered the dumplings and crab Rangoon for appetizers. They were tasty and fresh. We then had drunken chicken noodle dish and asked it to be spicy it was full of flavor and a perfect punch of spice. We also had the spicy yakisoba with shrimp also excellent and very spicy we loved it and lastly we had a spicy tuna sushi roll with miso soup. Fresh ingredients and we thoroughly enjoyed every bite. I will be back again soon and highly recommend this establishment.

While is started a bit rocky with a couple eating sushi while taking a telephone call on their speaker phone while us trying to enjoy the vibe had to ask them to shut it down but once we did it all fell into place. We started with some cold sake and ordered everything was delish and while it was our first time here I’m certain this will become our go to spot. The sashimi was a good portion not paper thin and everything was on par for fresh crisp taste 👍🏻🍣🍱

I’m not sure what’s happened to this restaurant. When i dined here a year ago, we had a wonderful experience with delicious sushi, great service and reasonable prices. We ordered carry out last night and we were disappointed in every single item. The miso soup was way too salty. The fresh rolls with shrimp were bland. The pad Thai was just not good at all—tasted “off” and the chicken was cold and floppy/stringy. The assorted sashimi was all but inedible and my request for the majority to be salmon slices was ignored (i understand if they couldn’t complete my request but a comment or call to inform me would’ve been helpful as i definitely would not have ordered that). I tossed half of it. Such a waste of $50. I hate leaving negative reviews but the reviews on here are definitely misleading if you’re looking for a quality dining experience. i will be hesitant to order from here again.

This place rocks! The food was amazing, the service was incredibly fast, and they were super friendly without being overbearing. Truly one of the best restaurant experiences that I've ever had.
If you don't try this once while you're local, you're wrong. Don't miss out!!!

Really well balanced menu and everything was great. It’s definitely high ranking in terms of sushi in the area.

So the wife and I say that this place got really high ratings on Google, but our experience was less than stellar here.

First off, it took about 10-12 minutes before anyone acknowledged that we were even there after we seated ourselves. Once our server finally came over to us and asked us what we wanted to drink, it took another 10 minutes before we were asked what we wanted to order.

The place didn't look crowded to us as to merit such long wait times to get noticed and waited on. After we ordered, it was another full 30 minutes before we saw our food. The drinks came out quickly so that was good.

When we finally did get our food, we got a mixed result in the taste depending on the dish we had. Our Thai spring rolls and peanut sauce was freaking amazing in flavor! But our sushi rolls we're just okay and not anything special. They tasted more like "all you can eat" quality rolls rather than the $13-15 dollar rolls we paid for. So I was little disappointed a out that. I felt as if I could have gone to an "all you can eat" sushi restaurant and gotten the same quality for even less money that what we paid for here. Now that being said, the sushi rolls we're BIG, so, that was the trade off!

Now, the one really AWESOME thing about this place is their Thai tea, THAT was something special indeed! TRY IT!

So, again, there food here isn't "bad" at all! But I just feel that's it's just "okay" for the prices we paid. Also, the wait time was just not good. Maybe we came in an off day or something...? I will give this place another try and update my review then.

The food is… epic! Come hungry because the sushi doesn’t disappoint. It’s fresh and complex with multiple flavors and textures. The Thai dishes are hearty with the right amount of spice and flavor to satisfy hungry tastebuds. Dining in is cozy and intimate and take out is fresh.

amazingly delicious sushi! you must definitely try it!

Ordered take-out from Nori last night. Placed the online order at 5:35pm and received a text message that it would be ready at 5:54. I arrived at 6:05 and gave them my name for the order. And then I waited, and waited, and waited. After 20 minutes, (which was now 30 minutes after the order was supposed to be ready) a different person asked me for my name again. I again told them and they disappeared for a while. After 15 more minutes (now a full hour after I placed the order and 45 minutes after it was supposed to be ready) they brought out my order and started to ring it up on the register. I told them I had placed the order online and had already paid for it. The server argued with me and told me it was a phone order. I showed him that it was NOT a phone order, then he again asked for my name which I gave him. He then went over and picked up the correct order WHICH HAD BEEN SITTING READY FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES! How do I know that? Because when I got home all the food was barely lukewarm and the crab rangoons had sat so long they were soggy and mushy. And to top off the entire episode the order was not correct. I would definitely not recommend Nori to anyone. There are far too many good restaurants in the area to waste time with this one.

It's a hidden gem. Tiny restaurant, unbelievably delicious fresh sushi.

This place is hands down the best sushi restaurant. You will find rare places that take the time and energy they do to make each dish come out perfectly. If you watch the people making the sushi behind the sushi bar you see how precise they do everything to make it so perfect each and every time. Everyone goes above and beyond here even the servers. They are also extremely clean here , I had a friend work here and said it was the cleaning kitchen he has worked in. You won't be disappointed if you go here .

Great Pad Thai and service was excellent as usual! Would highly recommend this gem!

We loved the different types of rolls with cooked meat. Fresh and delicious. The kids love it—friendly stuff that are kind to children.

Best place to try my first sushi! Highly recommend the spider sushi rolls! Will come again!!

Unfortunately, I had to give one star to write this review. This restaurant doesn't deserve any stars. I took my Mom out to lunch to get sushi because we absolutely love sushi. This was the worst experience I have ever had. The quality of the sushi was beyond disappointing. The fish was definitely not fresh. I literally almost got sick right at the table after eating my first bite of a spicy tuna roll. After explaining how terrible the sushi tasted, the waitress argued with me that it was fine. I told her that the rolls we ordered did not taste fresh and left a sick feeling in my stomach and that I was ready for the check. She never tried to make anything right. And to make things worse she charged me for the rolls we were afraid to eat because we thought we would get sick. I didn't mind paying for our drinks and the rolls we did eat, but to pay for food that made us feel sick after having one bite and leaving everything untouched because we started feeling sick immediately, was by far the worst customer service I have ever experienced in all of my years. I have worked in hospitality and I would never have handled this situation the way our waitress handled it, nor would any manager I have ever worked with.
Our check was $61.90 and we left with an empty stomach, along with feeling sick from the pieces of sushi that we did eat.
There are lots of sushi places and I am leaving this review so others choose a different place and experience than the one my Mom and I just had.

Excellent sashimi and rolls!

We absolutely LOVE Nori!! Thank you, Nori family, for always taking care of us!

Best Sushi in Sarasota. We come here consistently and have never been disappointed. Not only is the food amazing but we have always had great service as well.

Rude front desk.

Now I get why this place was so busy on a Tuesday night. 😍
We ordered both from the sushi menu and the Thai menu and both were very yummy! I especially loved the volcano roll and the shrimp summer rolls. The peanut dressing that came with them was very flavorful and delicious. Will definitely be back 👌🏼

Yaki soba is delicious

Sushi was great. Panang was mediocre.

Love

The culinary experience was truly exceptional! The sushi, crafted with precision, showcased unparalleled freshness. Nestled in a cozy, intimate setting, this small gem offers a personalized touch – the staff not only remembers your name and face after just two visits but also anticipates and fulfills your preferences flawlessly. Simply amazing.

Good sushi in a cozy environment.

5/5 crab rangoons
5/5 basic avocado roll

1/5 massaman curry- this was actually hard to eat and would have been tossed if I had another dish to eat for dinner. The sauce was thin and watery, the flavors were not cohesive or balanced at all. I’m very surprised because curries are usually boring at worst but this was unusual and tasted like a bunch of ingredients thrown together at my order. Makes me wonder if they ran out and rushed something together kind of situation.

I’ll still give them a 2nd chance and see if this was a one off but disappointing first experience.

Best sushi in town without a doubt !

Wonderful atmosphere with kind and attentive service. Excellent portion size and great depth of flavor. The Thai Iced Tea is out of this world too! Wonderful place to go for dinner! The lunch specials are affordable and high quality. Lots of vegetarian options.

Really good krab Rangoon and loved the drunken noodles. Thai tea was delish and would recommend. Service was fast. The air conditioning seemed like it was set at 78, just a little warm in there.

Disappointing. Tiny portions. Thai Red Curry lunch special had about 4 or 5 very small strips of beef, and a handful of chopped vegetables. For the price you should be getting an entire white pail of rice and an entire pail of curry, not a few bites wrapped in aluminum foil.

I recently had a takeout experience at Nori Japanese and Thai on Clark Rd in Sarasota, and I must say it left me with mixed feelings. While there were certain aspects of the meal that I enjoyed, there were also elements that left me disappointed.

Upon receiving my order, the first thing that caught my attention was the sushi. Unfortunately, the initial impression was not a positive one. The fish used for the sushi did not look or smell fresh; all three types of fish had a slimy texture that immediately raised concerns about their quality. Despite the short time it took for me to get from the restaurant to my eating location, the condition of the fish was off-putting and gave me reservations about its freshness.

On a more positive note, the Bento Box that I ordered did offer some variety, and there were components of the meal that I found enjoyable. The California roll was a highlight, with its pleasing combination of flavors and textures. Additionally, the Chicken Teriyaki and rice were well-prepared and satisfying. These components of the meal were certainly redeeming factors that showcased the potential for quality dishes at Nori Japanese and Thai.

The service and the ease of the takeout experience were also commendable. The staff was friendly and efficient, ensuring that my order was ready in a timely manner and that I encountered no issues during the process.

However, it was the quality of the sushi that ultimately shaped my overall impression of the meal. The unappealing condition of the fish detracted from what could have been a more positive dining experience. As someone who values the freshness and quality of ingredients, the disappointment I felt in this aspect makes it unlikely that I will return to Nori Japanese and Thai specifically for sushi.

In conclusion, my experience at Nori Japanese and Thai on Clark Rd in Sarasota left me with mixed feelings. While there were elements of the meal that I enjoyed, such as the Chicken Teriyaki, California roll, and rice, the condition of the fish used for the sushi was a significant drawback. The slimy texture and lack of freshness detracted from what could have been a more satisfying meal. The service and takeout process were positives, but the subpar quality of the sushi is likely to prevent me from returning for sushi in the future.

These are probably the skinniest sushi rolls I've ever eaten anywhere. I ordered two kinds of sushi rolls and neither one of them hardly had anything in them. The one with the shrimp I hardly tasted shrimp in it at all except the first two pieces. The other one had tuna in it and I barely tasted it and could barely see it in the sushi roll. The quality of the other food items in the sushi roll just tasted pretty mediocre. The only thing I have to say good about it was the service and waitresses.

We have mostly ordered take away for years from NORI. The food is always good and service is excellent. Highly recommend.

Lava fried rice was doused with soy sauce, only 5 pcs of meat were in there, waste of money

Дуже все смачно, швидко і організовано.

The food is always good, service as well. A tiny bit pricy, but as I said - the food is very good.

Went in for lunch Saturday ordered a spicy tuna roll that had hardly any tuna in it with too much rice around it. The roll tasted like cleaning chemicals. The shrimp fresh roll I ordered had hardly any shrimp in it and stuffed with not so fresh tasting veggies, when I told the waitress how the tuna roll tasted, she acted like I didn’t say anything and just gave me the bill.
I have two starts bc the dumplings that I ordered were fine.
I don’t know what happened to this place but I won’t be returning. They really are cheating their customers of quality

Know how you wonder about where to go for sushi? Just go to Nori, great sushi every time. My kids love the Thai.

Food was delicious and fresh, stuff was very friendly service was great!!! Highly recommend this sushi place!

Revisited this place in early May 2023. Seemed like the business changed hands. Food was mediocre to bad. I had a Sashimi Appetizer and got sick. Should have returned it. I won't go to this place anymore!

Absolutely love this place. Delicious and fresh food every time. Great service.

Ive had Thai in both NY and in at least three counties all over Florida. Only two places out of probably 50 have stood out to me. This is one of them.
My family and I got take out this evening because we still havent found decent Thai in the Sarasota area and had gotten bored quickly with our last one. Nori did not disappoint. We had six people eating and we all raved about how good it is. Even our three small children devoured their meals and they can be picky at times.
The veggies are crisp, the meat is fresh and not chewy, etc like many restaurants are serving now. Is it really chicken? Lol I often wonder at some places but not this one!
The portion sizes are great, the order was correct, the flavors are robust. I am excited to try more on their menu in the near future. Im so thankful to have a great Thai place not so far from me. Id been traveling two counties over to get highly quality Thai food or eating subpar nearby whenever I wanted it. No more! This is close and we will be regulars now. A+

Terrible service, walked in with 2 young children at 2:50 to get lunch. Google and door says 3pm close, yet was refused service on walk in by staff who said they stop seating at 2:45 but said I could do take out. I told them that isn't stated on their door or on Google but they just ignored it and said I could take out, to which I told them no thanks and that I'd give them a 1 star review as well but they couldn't care less. Take your children and money somewhere the owners care about people!!!

Very good spot for great Sushi and Thai. I eat lunch here at least one a week.

Good fresh sushi, nice folks!

Delicious Sushi, servers were fantastic! Highly recommend if you are in the Sarasota Fl area.

The Best Place for fresh sushi

The food, presentation, and service were all amazing!!! We had the Crab Rangoon to start which had a great filling ratio and the Rangoon was fried to crunchy perfection! We followed that up with the Volcano, J.B Tempura, and Cheesy Shrimp rolls- we loved them all and couldn't choose our favorite!! We will be back and definitely recommend Nori!

Cute little place. Excellent food. Our waitress was sweet and gorgeous. The value for the lunch special is excellent. I will definitely go back and recommend to friends. Ordered Tofu Pad Thai, which came with Miso soup and an egg roll. The dipping sauce for the egg roll was delicious.

Yummy

Staff are friendly, service is great, food is incredible! A lot like Drunken Poet in downtown SRQ. What more can one ask for?!

Sushami lunch was very skimpy and the tempura was more panko than tempura batter. Overall very disappointing.

Great sushi, tempura, and noodles. Really kind, friendly staff. Reasonable prices. Met a friend for lunch, we really enjoyed it.

wonderful place. a very delicious japanese cuisine, fast, clean, fresh and cozy. and absolutely affordable. i would recommend the LUNCH menu that has everything U need with only $15 in price

best japanese business lunch in sarasota

Phenomenal food. Everything here is terrific quality. My personal favorite is the Orange Blossom roll.

Favorite sushi place in Sarasota.

One of the best places in Sarasota. Great sushi and Pad Thai. Great service. Highly recommended.

Some of the best sushi and Asian food around!

Always great food and kind service. We have over 20 meals here and each time been impressed with the quality and portion size. A great go to place for a casual, enjoyable meal or takeout.

A friend's favorite that I finally got to. Good call.
An intimate location that is, thankfully, not scary bright like too many other restaurants. I think it makes for a more relaxing time.
The service is quick & friendly. The menu is well laid out. And the food is tasty, well presented & exactly as ordered. What more can you ask for? I will most assuredly be back.

Thank you Nori for caring about your customers. Whenever I order take out they always make sure that foam containers are layered with foil. I know it’s a little thing but for those who are concerned about using foam containers for hot food, this is a nice gesture. And the food always tastes great! Thanks and keep doing a great job.

The sushi is AMAZING!
We really enjoyed!

The best in Sarasota

Soooo goooood!😋

By far best sushi in the area!

This place was phenomenal! Great sushi and environment. Looking forward to coming back

5 stars isn't enough! Service and food is great! Just go!

Best sushi bar in Town!

Really not recommend. Everything that I asked for came wrong. I even paid for extra sauce and did not get it

Friendly service and clean atmosphere. Sushi wasnt my favorite, but still clean and tasty. The hot dishes coming out smelled good. Would come back to try some fried rice specials.

Ordered Pad Woon Sen with Tofu (Lunch-sized) & Fresh Wraps with Tofu (appetizer). Honestly, have had MUCH BETTER Pad Woon Sen before at other restaurants. The Fresh Wraps were a waste of food & money. The only good thing about it was the sauce. The Pad Woon Sen was barely half a plate in aluminum foil. With my friend's food added, it was a waste of $28. Save your money and go somewhere else no matter how hungry you are!

A pleasant surprise 😀 good service, great food, cozy atmosphere.

Perfect place for sushi.it was amazing and very tasty

Great service. Great food. Great prices. Will surely go back

This sushi place was a hit! They do the lunch special on Saturdays which is cool, and the rolls are not plain for the special. They were so sweet and friendly. The sushi was fresh and loaded! They even gave my daughter some kind of Japanese treat on our way out. I highly recommend.

Nori is a phenomenal Thai restaurant. Their curry is great, along with their drunken noodles. Those are mainly the orders in my family, the sushi is good but not the best, that said it is top 25% in the area. Nori will show you genuine Thai cuisine. Thank you very much for making great food!

Great sushi recommended 100%

I have traveled to Japan and Thailand many times and I can say that our dining experience was as good as any I have experienced abroad. The soft shelled crab was exquisite as was the shashimi. My compliments to the chef. My partner and I will definitely return.

Overall good experience! We ordered the Thai iced tea, pineapple fried rice with shrimp, the eel and cucumber roll, and the manatee roll. The food was delicious, but the fried rice had no evidence of pineapple. The food was ready quickly, and the staff were very friendly when I arrived. I would certainly eat here again.

Not bad. It is new opening.

Excellent sushi! First time visiting as we are not from the Sarasota area. Staff greeted us as soon as we walked in, was seated within 30 seconds. Ordered the spicy Octopus salad as a starter. For the main course, ordered the crunchy crab, red hot, two face, and Nori rolls. All were absolutely delicious! I have to say my personal favorite out of all we ordered was the crunchy crab. I strongly recommend this place!

I had lunch at Nori Sushi
Th salad dressing was not great
The shrimp curry sauce strong and salty sweet no coconut flavor or curry flavor verry disappointing.
Thank you

A Very nice clean place👍🏻 And the food was very good😋

One word one of the best sushi places in town quality products well aged and great service. Uncle Kenny told me about this place and have to agree with the ammount of time he eats on the road had to try this place.

The worse Pad Thai I ever had, the meat was hard to chew on, Miso soup just half cup, and the drinking water very bad test of chlorine

Best sushi in the area, never really too busy because most of their customers get carry-out. Staff is wonderful, we just keep going back!!!

The sushi is pretty good, but it can be a bit expensive if your wanting to get a few of the specialty rolls. On average we spend $50 on sushi for two people when coming here. That’s with two very good Iced Thai Teas, they’re better than the Iced Thai Coffee that almost tastes alcoholic... But then roughly 3 or 4 sushi rolls depending on if we decide to do just regular rolls or the specialty. The service is relatively good, but they’ll sit you right in the front unless you request to sit in the back which are nice small booths. I recommend sitting in the back personally, but that’s just me because I don’t like being watched by the sushi chef while I’m eating. Overall this location is currently in my Top 5 Favorite Sushi Places in Sarasota, FL. I’d recommend the Iced Thai Tea with either the Crunchy Crab Roll or Volcano Roll if your unsure what to get.

Not so clean. Warm and humid environment. Nori was chewy on all of our rolls. Waitress was nice and attentive.

Clean, and quaint atmosphere. Nice find! I'm new to Sarasota, so I was looking for a nice asian restaurant with vegan options. The young woman who greeted me at the door wasn't very friendly, and appeared to be in an agitated mood. I had a few questions regarding the menu, and these were met with impatience, and a less than welcoming vibe.

The vegetable and cucumber sushi were tasty, and well worth the over sight. Overall, it was good combination of flavors, and definitely some of the best vegan sushi/rolls that I have eaten in a long time.

Just make sure that you look at the menu prior to ordering (in case the young woman with the less than friendly attitude decides to "help" you.

Beef and pad thai was a good choice.

We got Pad Thai and sushi. Sushi was fresh and there are lots of decent special rolls to choose from. Pad Thai is a hit or miss for take out. Sometimes it's too sausy or greasy and sometimes it's too dry and sticky. The pad Thai As definitely a hit here. They actually made it Thai hot, as requested, which some places are hesitant to do. The staff were very friendly upon greeting me and saying goodbye and thanking me as I left. Its a minor detail but being a southerner I admire simple courtesies like this. I am only here on vacation but if I lived here I would definitely come back for more.

Local fave

Had another fantastic lunch, can't wait to try dinner. Today we had tofu fresh rolls, salad, Yaki Soba Romen noodles, and had to have for dessert the mangi sticky rice.. all amazing!

Good lunch and good food

The food is… epic! Come hungry because the sushi doesn’t disappoint. It’s fresh and complex with multiple flavors and textures. The Thai dishes are hearty with the right amount of spice and flavor to satisfy hungry tastebuds. Dining in is cozy and intimate and take out is fresh.

It used to be friendlier, tastier, and cheaper. 2020 obviously took a toll on all of us.

My go-to sushi spot, their Dynamite Roll is a family favorite and I love the atmosphere of the restaurant as a whole. We mostly do take-out nowadays but they are always cordial and consistent.

First time getting food here and everything I had was very good. Will definitely get food here again in the future

Nori sushi is my favorite place to go for sushi in Sarasota. All the rolls I’ve had here are excellent but the Sexy Man roll is the BEST! Order it! You won’t be disappointed! Their Chicken Pad Thai is amazing as well!

The service was excellent there three amigo Roll is awesome had two

Service was good, food was mediocre. Place was clean. Green tea was good. Recommend only if you have no other options or if you are starving. Overall an ok place but far from deserving the current google rating.

From a Thai food perspective, I would not recommend this place. I ordered two items (Pad See Ew and Fried Rice) - The Pad See Ew had a lot more things in it than listed on the menu. Both items I ordered were tasteless, very bland and dry. The broccoli in the Pad See Ew was uncooked and the green beans in the fried rice was also uncooked. I'm not local from the area, so I wont visit this place again and would not recommend to others seeking Thai food.

So far I’ve been there 3 times since I discovered it 2 weeks ago. I personally enjoyed their fresh roll with peanut sauce, but we’ve also ordered box#2 and the sushi is very fresh. As for the service, they are very kind and wonderful, it’s nice that they make an effort to know and what you like. I recommend it and will definitely keep coming back.

They have the best food . I’m always a repeat customer here. Fast service , never messed up a meal. 10000% recommendations this entity.

Always fast, hot, delicious carry out. Friendly.

Due to the pandemic we only experienced takeout from here so I cannot speak to the actual restaurant experience however we were very pleased with our take away order! Fish was fresh, rolls were pleasing to the eye and most importantly, very tasty. Specialty rolls were unique and delicious. Packed with care in plastic instead of styrofoam which is more environmentally conscious which I like. Will visit again and hope to come for dine in dinner when we feel comfortable doing so.

Amazing! If you think about eating sushi in Sarasota, here is the place you must stop by. Highly recommend their Orange Blossom and Two Face Rolls.

Best thai food in town!

This is the best Sushi place in Sarasota area. We get food from here at least twice a month and never had a bad meal. Staff is very friendly and I am always greeted with a smile. When friends come visit from New England, they all ask to get food from here during their visit.

Best food ...amazing

Everything about Nori is perfect!!!

Great foods, wonderful hospitality from both sushi chef Saharath and floor staffs, Jajah. Our stop every time we travel to the Florida west coast.

Food is always fresh and comes out very fast. Staff is amazing and always so nice! Best sushi and service in Sarasota! I’ve never had a bad experience ever. They have my business until the day I die!

The best sushi in Sarasota! High quality food every time. Friendly staff. Could eat here every day of the week!

Their sushi and rolls are excellent. Fine restaurant and great service. Always a pleasure to dine here.

My family and I were on vacation for my mother in laws birthday. We ordered take out, when we got back to the hotel the food was nasty, didn't even look or smell appetizing. The chicken, shrimps, vegetables was stale and raw. $30 went down the drain, it was a complete waste. I dont recommend this place for anyone.

Excellent place, was the best sushi I have had in a while. The staff was very kind and the food was delivered pretty fast. I definitely recommend :D

I love this place ❤ I eat here once a week every week.

Busy little place full of regulars

Good food and friendly service

Sushi very good. Specialty rolls are big! Although a little pricey

Great sushi, beautifully presented, friendly service.

Everything is delicious and the staff is very friendly!

Food, service, atmosphere all great. Three Amigos roll is fantastic!

Really great food.

Great menu, very fresh, lots of choices, good portions, and big variety for vegetarians!

Very friendly , delicious food , attention to detail .... a wonderful little spot , do not pass it by !!

Food was amazing. Waitress was a little mouthy and argumentative with customers...myself included. But worth it for the food. Would definitely recommend

Excellent. Nuff said

Delicious mix of Japanese and Thai food

Nori is hands down the best sushi restaurant in Sarasota. I have been there multiple times and I have never once had a bad experience. The food is amazing and arrives in a timely manner. The staff is awesome! I now bring every out of town guest that I have to Nori so that I can show off how great we have it in Sarasota. If you are looking for Sushi or Tai food in Sarasota you will not be dissappointed.

I have been coming to nori for years now and the food is wonderful and the staff is even better! My favorite restaurant hands down!

Gyoza are so delicious and we recieved our sushi in record breaking time. Prompt service. Will be returning

Always kind service and consistently good sushi. We've been coming here for the last 2 years and have always enjoyed it.

Fast, friendly staff! Sushi was great. Opens at 5pm.

Always delicious and amazing service. Today we were there just minutes before midday closing and decided to get ours to go to bed nice and sit outside. They kept the doors open and made sure we were taken care of even while they were reading their own meals. Not many places will do that. It's an hour drive for us and always worth it.

I’ve visited Sarasota for the past 10 years. I used to love the food at this Asian Sushi restaurant but apparently this place has changed ownership numerous times. Unbeknownst to me. I went yesterday for lunch. Had a sushi roll. Within 45 mins of leaving I am HORRIBLY SICK. they need to do a city mandated inspection on the cooking here.

Always delicious and nice quality Thai food. Sushi is just ok but it’s ok because I go for the Thai food

Tasty food and great service . Will be back

Good food and great service.

I got the egg rolls, miso soup, and sushi Combo, as well as a couple bottles of sake. All the food was very good, as was the sake.

The service was also fantastic, everybody was friendly and out server was very nice and attentive whenever we needed water or more sake.

I recommend going here, especially if you can hit the happy hour between 5 & 6.

Fast, friendly service and the sushi is awesome!

The food is always exceptional here whether you dine in or order takeout. Today was the first day I dined in for lunch and their lunch specials are amazing. I got the pineapple fried rice with tofu and it was OMG to die for good!!! That'll be my new go to order. The staff and service was friendly and wonderful as was their refreshing iced green tea. In Florida it gets so hot this time of year and that was especially refreshing. Absolutely recommend to any and everyone for Japanese or Thai cuisine!!
