Whether it's just the two of us or with a group, there have been no complaints on our end. Let's see how this visit went. We were seated once we walked in. Just like before, the decor was set up perfectly and each customer was taken care of by the wonderful staff making sure everyone was comfortable. No problems here at all. For the selections, we had pan-fried pork gyoza and I had chicken Katsudon for my entree (Sophia had her usual, chicken Katsu Ramen). Everything delivered was on point. Well-cooked and tasted great. I do wish I could add more, but when you eat regular dishes, there's nothing more to say. Thank you again Tanpopo Ramen for making Sophia and myself satisfied. Keep it up :)

We tried several things at Nori Nori--spicy miso ramen, vegetarian ramen, pork katsu ramen, and a…read morespicy tuna roll. The spicy miso was probably the winner among the ramen bowls, with the most developed flavor. The vegetarian ramen was a little mild for us, although some chili oil helped. The pork katsu itself was excellent--crispy and flavorful and served on the side--but the ramen broth also could have used a little more depth. The surprise winner was the spicy tuna roll. I really liked it and would absolutely come back to try more of their sushi. Service was really good. One warning: bring a jacket! It was absolutely freezing inside on a hot summer evening. Our server even mentioned that she had turned the air down, but it stayed cold. Overall, some hits and misses with the ramen, but good service, excellent katsu, and sushi good enough that I'd definitely return to explore more of that side of the menu.

There's paid street meter parking outside the restaurant. We went during weekday dinner time which I am glad. I don't want to think about where else we should have parked otherwise during busier times/semester. The service here is incredibly slow. We were seated in front of the register with 3 people working the floors and only us being the diners, too. Food tasted ok. Broth was lukewarm/tepid due to the ice cold toppings added straight out of the fridge. The chashu tasted great. Noodles were nice and chewy. Too bad I felt like I was eating out of a bowl of spit. I think I prefer going to the Chesapeake or VB locations. This location is not worth paying for parking and be frustrated waiting for everything including receiving utensils and checks.

I had the Ebi (shrimp) curry ramen. The curry was very flavorful but different than both Jamaican and Indian curries. I don't like that they keep the tails on the shrimp even though it's in the ramen. I also had salmon rice balls as well as Shumai. The shumai was good and so were the rice balls, but never having had rice balls, they weren't what I was expecting. I expected them to have meat in them but it was just rice with salmon flavored powder. We also added hot green tea to our meal. While not anything special, I do like to end my meal this way. The service was pretty good but we didn't like that our waitress stood next to our table from the moment we sat down. We felt pressured to hurry up and order, and it just made things awkward. She was very attentive though. This restaurant is your typical local Japanese style restaurant. Very authentic in its feel and decor - nothing fancy, basic service. But if you like more authentic type dishes vs chain restaurants, I think this is a place to try! Oh, I will also add this place was alot less expensive than places like Domoishi! I give it a 3 star because I feel neutral about it - not because anything was super wrong about it!

When the dish came out, it was basically a 50/50 split of salmon and tuna. Most other restaurants usually include more variety in their sashimi deluxe, such as shrimp, yellowtail, tilapia, or even krab, even with a substitution, so I was already a little disappointed. Overall the tuna looked quite gray in color, and the salmon was noticeably dry. Definitely not the quality I expected for the price. What really upset me was the bill at the end. The menu listed the sashimi deluxe at $25, but my check showed $33. I politely pointed this out to the waitress, and she said she would speak with the manager. When the manager came over, I was told that the waitress was new and that there is an extra charge for substitutions. The problem is that neither the waitress nor I was informed about this beforehand. What made the experience worse was the manager's attitude. She came across as rude and completely unconcerned when I explained why I was frustrated. I understand businesses have policies, but customers should be informed about additional charges before ordering, not surprised when the check arrives. I'm sharing this review so future customers are aware to ask questions about possible hidden or unexpected charges before ordering. Also, I just want to make a note that I have been coming to Nana, since Panera Bread was still next door, so this change in food quality, prices, and service is very disappointing.
