Nori Sushi Wraps - South Pasadena

It’s permanently closed. Everything has been cleared out

Nori come back, you can blame it all on me!! where did you go? We found this place a few months ago and we have been hot and heavy ever since. I was hoping to ask you to go steady but then you ghosted me. I've come to your door several times and you're never there now. Was it something I said? Is there someone else in your life? Please just let me know you're okay and know I will always love you.

My boyfriend loves Nori (he has eaten there 3 times in one week before). I've gone with him in the past and enjoyed their Sweetie Salmon handroll. It's located in an unassuming plaza, and they have a few tables inside or you can take it to go. This time, we ordered the chirashi bowl to share (I think it's new on their menu). The chirashi bowl comes with salad and miso soup like their other combos, and it takes a bit of time for them to prepare. The salad is unique because they use black sesame in their dressing, and the miso soup is decent. The chirashi bowl blew me away because every part of it was absolutely delicious and perfectly seasoned. The vinegared rice was warm, along with the other cooked/seared toppings like the tamagoyaki, eel, tuna. The raw fish slices were smooth and buttery, and there were a few slices of braised shiitake mushrooms that were super umami. The seaweed salad and pickled ginger were standard. Probably the least delectable things in the bowl were the piece of decorative kale and the piece of shrimp, but everything else tasted amazing and very fresh. Nori is a super cute place with great service and yummy food 5/5 stars! Highly recommend any of their combos.

Was in the area and picked up a quick lunch. I ordered the rain bowl online and picked it up. Absolutely loved the bowl. It was so flavorful and the fish was good. For the price, the portions make sense, but I don't eat that much in general and it was just right for me. That said, perfect portion for me, but if it was for my boyfriend let's say...he would still be hungry afterwards haha. Overall, great price for the portion and quality and would come back.

I think this place is good for a quick bite at an affordable price that'll keep you satisfied. Came here for lunch with my bae we got the combo 2 maki rolls and the combo 2 signature maki rolls. The combos comes with miso soup and salad.I do suggest to call it in if you're on a time crunch as they can get busy. My only con is the amount of plastic waste as everything comes out in disposable ware (not necessarily biodegradable) but besides that I'd still come back.
