Food (1.5/2): Unfortunately, since this was quite a while…read moreago, I had forgotten what I've ordered. One that I remember is the Wafu Steak. What I can remember is that all the food had great visual appeal. Additionally, the flavors from the main ingredient, sauce, and condiments were artfully balanced. I felt that none of the ingredients in the dishes I ordered were decorative. My only minor disappointment is the small portion (though I get that US portions are typically giant...). Service/wait-time/cleanliness (1.5/2): Great service even if there was only 1-2 waiters. Wait-time is decent. Cleanliness is impeccable. One minor negative is the positioning of some of the table that sees the fan above them--the fan sits just below the light bulb and creates a "strobe-light" effect at night. This was incredibly disturbing for me and I had to face diagonally downwards most of the time to avoid the flickering at the top-corner of my eyes. Price (0.5/1): As much as I love what they've created, I just feel the price for the portion we receive is on the expensive side. Rounded to 4 because I love the place.

There generally is a wait but I wouldn't let that deter you as it is worth the wait. The sushi is always freshly prepared, they have some unique side dishes and sushi/maki offerings too. Ordered pick up on a Saturday. I called 10 mins after they opened and they informed me it was an hours wait. I was a bit surprised by wait time but food was ready exactly when they said it woul be. When I got there place was packed with a few groups waiting for tables. Ordered the crunchy maki, tempura maki and softshell crab maki - everything was delicious as expected. Highly recommend!

Mi-Nori is one of the newer sushi concepts in the area, focusing on hand rolls, torched seafood,…read moreand social media friendly presentations. Located inside Novo Marketplace, the setup is centered around freshly made sushi prepared in front of guests, giving the experience a more modern hand roll bar feel than a traditional sushi restaurant. The space itself is clean and contemporary, designed around counter seating where you can watch the chefs work, though the flow of the operation still feels like it is finding its rhythm. The menu features a variety of specialty hand rolls, toro options, and signature creations designed to stand out visually as much as they do on the menu. The sushi itself was solid, with fresh fish and nori that maintained a good crisp texture. The hand rolls were enjoyable, and the presentation across the board was attractive, reflecting the brand's emphasis on visual appeal. That said, the portion sizes felt modest for the price point, and we left feeling that the value was not quite there compared to other sushi options nearby. The biggest challenge during our visit was the wait. Despite the restaurant not seeming particularly busy, the food took a long time to arrive, which made the experience feel less smooth than expected. Since the restaurant is still relatively new, some of these issues may improve over time, but it was noticeable enough to impact the overall visit. A faster pace would have made the meal feel much more in line with the hand roll bar concept, where timing is supposed to be part of the appeal. One of the menu items that gets a lot of attention is the Push Pop sushi. While it is certainly eye catching and fun for photos, it felt more gimmicky than memorable from a flavor standpoint. It is the type of item that is interesting to try once, but not necessarily something we would go back specifically to order again. The standard hand rolls and specialty rolls were more satisfying and better represented what the kitchen does well. Overall, Mi-Nori feels like a concept with potential, especially for those looking for something different from a traditional sushi restaurant. The quality of the sushi was decent, but the combination of long waits and pricing made the experience harder to justify. We would consider giving it another shot once the operational side becomes more consistent, but next time we would be more interested in exploring the standard hand rolls and specialty items rather than the more novelty driven menu options.

Im so sad to leave such a bad review but honestly there was nothing redeeming about this…read moreexperience. We went on a Sunday. The food hall was busy but mi-nori was not particularly so. My son ordered 3 hand rolls. I ordered 4 in a separate order (our order numbers were one digit apart). It took AN HOUR for them to make his three hand rolls and mine were ready a good 20 minutes after that. The rice is unseasoned. They torched the fish til it was cooked all the way through which is just not what you want in a hand roll. The fish did not taste fresh and I was burping up really fishy tastes all afternoon. It was just terrible. During the hour when we were waiting for our food, they were cranking out those push-pop maki rolls and I guess they do that to meet demand for those as people order them but make hand roll people wait? I don't know? Oh, also, for each hand roll they wrap the nori in two separate sheets of plastic -- to keep the nori crisp until you eat it -- like I am not going to shove them all in my face immediately after waiting almost an hour and a half. I have never seen people work slower. It was infuriating and tasted bad. Such a shame. We skipped the fried chicken place here because they said it would be an hour wait. At least they were up front about it and clearly they had a huge line. Mi-nori, with no line, took just as long or longer. Terrible experience.

As we made our way inside the restaurant, Chef Chris took the time to greet us and since we were the first ones there for our time slot, he gave us the option to pick any table we wanted for our omakase experience. He is very personable and took the time to get to know us and talk a bit about his background. The tables were split into separate sections so that you were seated only with your party which I thought was a nice setup, especially for a date night. We decided to do the Grand Slam Omakase with 16 courses with a specially selected sake pairing. Chef Chris took the time to explain each course, with several of the components being made in-house. I was an especially big fan of the Hokkaido scallop course but everything was phenomenal, especially the nigiri. You can tell that every aspect of every course is crafted thoughtfully and with care. If you are looking for an omakase experience, I would definitely recommend reserving a time at Momi Nonmi!

The actual sushi itself was good…read morebut nothing over the top, but the price is really what makes this something worth coming back to. For $22.95, you get three rolls of your choice, a salad, miso soup, and a can of soda. And not only that, but this special is available all day - not just at lunch! Salad and miso soup - average - not bad not amazing, but having these two items added to the special add a good amount of value. The salad has the normal tangy dressing which is nice and the miso soup is decent. Spicy tuna roll - it's hard to tell how fresh something is when you have tempura flakes mixed in, but this did the trick. It was slightly greasy from the fried tempura, but it tasted like a solid spicy tuna roll that I'd get again Spicy yellowtail roll - same deal with the spicy yellowtail - the tempura was nice and I liked that they even had this as an option for the special. I think yellowtail is more expensive in some places, so this was nice to have Salmon avocado roll - here you could actually tell the fish was pretty fresh. This was an above average salmon avocado roll, and the avocado was nice and ripe too. I'd absolutely get this again - the price being available all day is a great perk, and all of the food you get for this Pick 3 Maki all day special is great. With some places charging $3 or more to add soda, having the soup, salad, soda, PLUS all three rolls is really great. I will be back to get this again for sure!

The sushi set was only about $21 and it came with spicy tuna, spicy salmon, and spicy yellowtail. It even came with the option to add avocado or another veggie to the rolls but I chose not to in case it made the fish portions smaller, but I might try it next time. Each roll was amazingly fresh and wonderful! Spicy Yellowtail - The fish in this one isn't minced so it's a nice plump and fresh piece of yellowtail with spicy mayo on top. Probably my favorite of the 3! Spicy Tuna - This one was minced and there was spicy mayo on top as well as some spice in the minced tuna. The most spicy of the 3 but not too spicy by any means - a lovely kick! Spicy Salmon - Fatty and delicious with the wasabi - this was in the middle when it came to spice level but still a really solid piece of spicy salmon. All in all, 5/5 taste and quality with a great price to match - I will definitely be back!
