    This place is a great lunch spot! We got the combo chicken broth and noodles with the pork dumplings! The dumplings were delicious and if it's cold outside the ramen will give your soul a warm hug.

    If you love Ramen or anything spicy, you would love this place. The service was amazing. Communication was good.

    Cute poke spot with comfortable atmosphere. Hostess was nice and right to the point. Food came out fast. My order was wrong but an honest mistake that they were fast to remake my bowl. I had veg poke bowl add kimchi and the shrimp bowl. Prices are reasonable around $12 each.

    Great service and amazing Ramen. Will definitely be back ! Kimchi was so so good ! Liked the pork broth better that the chicken but both are delicious

    They have outdoor seating (just two seats) so yes I could take my doggo to the place! Thats a plus! The servers were really warm and got us soy sauce and seasoning and everything I asked for. Ordered the vegetable ramen , it took around 15 mins. The bowl looks big but its very narrow at the bottom, see picture. The broth was so flavorful, it had a lot of veggies - broccoli, corn, spinach, mushrooms, bok choy, etc and wheat noodles. I wish they had the option of gluten free noodles, but like it anyway!

    My son recommended this place and I am glad he did. I met him & his girlfriend for supper after doing the Wilmington Walking Tour (Highly recommended), Very good food, quick service. Just yummy! I will be a return customer!

    Fun Bowl is amazing!! If you're looking for a quaint spot for Ramen, this is it. The fresh noodles, flavorful broth, & bok choy never disappoints! They also serve good Bubble Tea and dumpling appetizers. Check them out! A warm bow of ramen is great on a cold day.

    TOTAL: $28.33 - Berkshire Pork Belly Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen - Pork Egg Rolls - Strawberry Bubble Tea ‍SERVICE: Friendly, fast & professional. FOOD: Delicious ramen. Not too spicy, just the right amount of kick. So warming and hearty. Egg rolls were phenomenal. Bubble tea was not the best I've ever had, but a great option to have with the bowl of ramen! TRAVEL: ~25mins. Cannot stress how great this take-out experience was! Broth was packaged separate from noodles & toppings so they didn't get soggy. Bubble tea was in the bag, too, & all of it packaged so well that nothing spilled, not even jostled in the car & up two flights of stairs. If you've only ever had packet ramen, get yourself some of the real stuff!

    We've been back several times since our initial visit in 2020. The Ramen soups are always excellent. The portion is the perfect amount for lunch (or dinner). Some say the soups are salty, but we find it to be just fine. We love the appetizers too (vegetable spring rolls and the pork fried dumplings. Today we both had the Fun Bowl Ramen - Homemade noodle, pork broth, green onion, bamboo shoot, woodear mushroom, egg, seaweed. We both ordered an extra half egg. It's my favorite part of the soup - a soft boiled egg with a silky center. The eggs are marinated in soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar, in which gives the eggs a sweet and savory flavor. There are other items on the menu that I have yet to try, such as the poke bowls, spicy crab Rangoon, Mantou bun, and calamari tempura. Ramen is always good on a cold day.

    Spicy (not spicy) Kimchi Ramen Bowl

    Food was decent. Ramen not salty, kimchi perfectly ripen and best medium boiled eggs I've ever seen anyone do in restaurant, and in Ramen. Service was alright. Ambiance was super casual / laid back.

    I wanted poke the other day so we headed here for dinner. We've been by a few times before and it's always pretty good. There was no outdoor seating this time so we were glad we left the dog at home. I got the shrimp poke bowl - you customize it so no complaints! Husband tried the pork ramen and really enjoyed it. We both enjoyed the crab Rangoon as well.

    Nori is a very small & low key Japanese restaurant with the most visually colorful , delicious, and…read morepleasing displays of food I ever encountered in a sushi bar. I have only two experiences in sushi restaurants in Wilmington. Both were excellent experiences. We were immediately served at the bar and well taken care of by Savannah while waiting for our party. My husband ordered a vodka soda with lime - perfection ...tasted like a sprite. I had a sweet unfiltered cold sake- love how it was displayed on a bucket of ice. Our party of 7 were placed in the back and most of them were already familiar with the restaurant. Some of them had vegan entrees and the tofu, rice, & vegetable entrees they ordered looked plentiful and delicious. Some ordered sesame chicken or seafood. They all looked colorful and delicious. My husband ordered a bang bang spicy shrimp appetizer. Very well cooked and filling. I had escolar sashimi - tasted like melt in your mouth fatty tuna with a buttery texture. I ordered the Super Toro Roll: Spicy tuna, avocado, tempura flake top with blue fin toro, jalapeno sauce, chili oil, fish roe and scallions . It was a scrumptious & large specialty roll. It was more than I expected - high in taste, quality, and quantity. Our server was very pleasant and efficient. She refilled our drinks & expedited our meals in a swift manner. I was told there were two Nori restaurants were in Wilmington, yet this was the better of both restaurants. We enjoyed our time here and plan to visit Nori at this location again.

I don't usually write reviews but this has happened too many times and the "we're sorry" or "we'll give you a $10 coupon" isn't enough. The past 4 orders have constantly missed something we've both paid for and requested verbally whether we picked up the to go order or go through Uber Eats. This time it was the fried rice, last time the Yum Yum sauce, before that the sushi roll, etc. I called and asked for the manager, Jackson. He apologized like they've done everytime and then offered a $10 coupon for next time. Sorry I want my fried rice. I've ordered from Lucky Star for 15 years and they've never forgot rice or sauce or anything. I then asked for the owner just to let everyone aware before leaving a bad review. Jackson immediately replied that "you're not going to like my answer she's out of the country for the next few months"....he was right that's not the answer I wanted...I wanted my rice! Just another example how bad management & leadership will lead to bad service. It's a shame cause the food (when you get what you ordered) is good. I would highly recommend against ordering online unless you're ok getting a "we're sorry excuse" when your food that you paid for doesn't show up.

When we've come with friends or larger groups, the service has been much more mediocre. The first time we visited, one of the waitresses was surprisingly rude when I asked about vegetarian options. All she said was "salad," despite there being multiple salads (2 out of the 3) on the menu, including a Caesar with anchovy and a wedge salad with bacon. Thankfully, another staff member stepped in and was much more helpful and respectful. I'm not sure why vegetarian requests are sometimes treated like an inconvenience or unusual concept. I'm married to a huge meat eater and enjoy going to places he likes, but I do wish vegetarian guests were met with a little more patience and understanding. Especially when I am the one paying the bill. The atmosphere is loud and busy, but they are generally accommodating. For larger parties, they require a credit card to hold the reservation and give a limited grace period, with a fee of around $15 per person for no-shows. I understand why restaurants have policies like this, but it felt a little unfair considering we still had to wait around 15-20 minutes past our reservation time to be seated. If guests are expected to strictly follow time slots, I think the restaurant should also try to hold themselves to those same standards. It also took close to two hours for our food to come out, and we repeatedly had to ask for smaller things like water or hot sauce. I completely understand that larger parties can take longer, but we were a group of seven, which didn't seem unusually large. Overall, the food and atmosphere keep us coming back, but the consistency in service could definitely be improved.

We came yesterday and didn't want to wait but then came back today and got our group on the list and waited. Note that the parking close by is expensive and they won't seat you if your whole party isn't there within 5 minutes of texting that your table is ready. So yep- plan to wait and sit around. Inside it's pub style, bar available and good music, but not much seating which explains the wait ;) We ordered the 109 Chestnut Chicken Sandwich, the Hot Roasted Pork Sandwich and the Reuben. Our waitress recommended not getting the onion rings app and to do it as sides to save money, and man, we had SO MANY leftovers. The pork sandwich is super good but so filling. I could only eat half with all the onion rings! The Reuben was absolutely delicious and I would 1000% get that again. The best thing on the menu in our opinion: the Cheese Steak Egg Rolls with chipotle mayo- OMG. We will DREAM about these!!! I haven't seen these talked about much- TRY THEM, they were literally mouth watering and I would have eaten them as an entree and not an app! Overall we would come back again, just be prepared to wait forever for a table and you won't be disappointed!
