Waiting for my son to get out of a concert I stumbled onto this gem! The food was great and I love that you can order half rolls! Since I was by myself I could sample a few different things. Servers were friendly although you can order yourself on the tablets at the tables. Music wasn't too loud and relaxing environment to take my time and enjoy my meal and sake. read more

I always pass by Noren and finally got to check it out the other day. There's a lot of seating and it's also nicely decorated inside, making it a great place for big or small groups. The service was quick too, which we appreciated. The spicy tuna handroll had good-quality fish and a pretty presentation. The seafood pancake was one of the better ones I've had in Seattle. The seafood pieces were large and tasted fresh, and the pancake had a great texture that was crumbly without falling apart. Overall, Noren is a solid spot, and they're open late which is rare in Seattle! read more

I came at 6:30 on a friday night and there was no wait. I didn't get too much, but the sushi tasted fresh and the seafood pancake had a good amount of seafood in it. It was a little softer than I expected it to be, but it was still good. The restaurant is decorated very nicely. read more

Good food but lacking in service. The restaurant was busy and I felt overlooked by the staff throughout my visit. However, the karaage was excellent crispy and well seasoned. Also, the vibe was decent, chill music selection. Capitol Hill has great variety for karaage, and this spot holds its own despite the service issues. Worth trying during off-peak hours. read more

This was absolutely the best sushi I've had in Washington. Everything just melted in your mouth and the ambience of the place was absolutely beautiful. Everything was so fresh and honestly reminded me of when I was in Japan. The sushi was just that good. read more

I visited Noren in Capitol Hill yesterday and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. I ordered the glass noodles, which arrived extremely hard and difficult to swallow. When I politely told our server, Mandy, that the dish was not edible, she did take it back but never offered a replacement or apologized for the quality. When it came time to pay, the dish was still on the bill. Mandy told me only the manager could remove it and gave me Jessica's contact information, asking me to follow up the next day. I never received a call back. I called again and spoke with Mark, who claimed to be a manager. He informed me that they would not remove the inedible dish from my bill and that the only compensation they could offer was a 5% discount on a future visit--which, frankly, feels unreasonable given that the food was barely touched. The overall customer service was dismissive and unprofessional, and I left feeling unheard and undervalued as a customer. Based on this experience, I will not be returning. read more

I love the atmosphere of this restaurant. I've dined here many times and throughout enjoy the service, plate composition and presentation, and quality. My favorite is the salmon collar and it is grilled to perfection. It is always very meaty and for the price point, I would classify it under entree instead of an app. The sashimi is always fresh and top quality. I appreciate the consistency every time I have dined and gotten to go. Thank you for your hard work. read more

I think this place rebranded or changed into a different place? It's a pocha now, serving cocktails, alcohol, and korean food. We found this spot randomly while walking by and it seemed to have a nice vibe inside so we went in. The space is huge, and it's a great spot to hangout and catch up with friends. I don't remember the name of the cocktail I got, but it had a whole mango melona bar inside! The drink itself was the perfect level of strength and the ice cream made it even better. We also got the tteokkbokki and jajang fried rice for the table to share, and both were great. The tteokkbokki is really spicy so be warned, but the jajang fried rice was perfect. I can definitely see this spot becoming super popular quite soon, so be ready! read more

This place had good reviews so we thought we would try it. We were in town four days and soaking up as Seattle had to offer. Anyway, asked for it to delivered and the picture shows what we got. Maybe the delivery guy, maybe not, but we went ahead and ate it. Finally found the wasabi and ginger, but there was only four pieces of ginger. The flavors were goood but more ginger and better presentation for sure. Maybe go in person and see if they do better. read more

The food itself was fine, but the service was disappointing and made the experience uncomfortable. We arrived at 12:05 a.m., and Google lists the restaurant's closing time as 1:00 a.m on a Saturday. As soon as we sat down, we were told to order immediately because the kitchen was taking last call. This felt rushed, especially since new customers were still being seated and allowed to order after we had already placed ours. We also had to ask for lighting because we were the only table without a desk lamp. Toward the end of our meal, we were given the check and told to pay quickly because the registers were closing. We explained that we were paying with cash, but were still repeatedly rushed, which felt unnecessary and poorly communicated. At 12:55 a.m.--five minutes before the posted closing time--the server announced that the staff had already gone home and that we needed to leave. There was no prior warning or polite heads-up. Our empty plates were never cleared, we weren't asked if we wanted leftovers boxed, and the request to leave came abruptly. Another nearby table left immediately after hearing the same announcement. Overall, the service felt rude and unprofessional. The tip we gave our server was regrettable considering how bad the service was. Better communication and basic courtesy would have made a big difference. read more

Spot is great, and food was really good. The only was we waited along time for food, and one of our friends (party of 6) didn't get their food at all until we were leaving. Everything came at different times. Other than the long wait and slow service food was good, and will be back read more

A great place for a late night dinner! Fast service and friendly staff, and a nice and chill environment to dine in. I love the order screens, it's so nice to have so we didn't feel rushed at all when we looked at the menu to order. Would definitely dine here again! My partner was blown away by the Capitol Hill roll, and the volcano roll was delicious with a good amount of spice! Other good mentions are the gyoza and the ebi nigiri! read more

Food was not good, very disappointed. It did not taste fresh and some sashimi were not edible because they were that bad

Solid sushi spot. Super cute inside, reasonable prices, good food. Came here 6:30pm on a Wednesday and there was no wait time but it was packed when we left. Reservations are available online. We ordered: - Garlic edamame (4/5): has a thick garlic soy glaze, very savory, cooked perfectly - Tako wasabi (4/5): biggest portion I ever received, a bit spicy for those who are sensitive - Japanese ceviche (5/5): not like Mexican ceviche, but still very light and fresh - Assorted bao 3 pc (3/5): meh, not satisfying, flavors not balanced Service was good too. Would return! read more

Stopped by on a quiet Monday. Found off street parking fairly quickly. Sat at the bar and service was super fast. I ordered the baked scallop roll and salmon sashimi. The sashimi was super fresh! Unfortunately, the baked roll fell flat for me. Not a lot of flavor and the fish wasn't as fresh as I'd hope. The decor is super cute though. Parasol umbrellas made for a nice picture! read more

I give this establishment a 2 based on the service we received. We were seated and the waitress brought us waters. After that the waitress never came back or looked our way. We watched her service tables next to us and around for 10 minutes. My husband had to go to the front and ask someone to take our order. Another waitress apologized and informed us that the other waitress is training. The Star Wars, chicken, dumplings & garlic edamame were delicious. I would order these items again if I returned. read more

Yummy food for good price! Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area. Made a reservation for 8:45 PM on a Sunday & it wasn't busy thankfully. It's a block up from the Starbucks Reserve. The interior is cute & aesthetic, also clean. We ordered the Agedashi Tofu & Garlic Edamame as appetizers, which I highly recommend. They were both flavorful & delicious. I ordered the rainbow roll & Sakura (cherry blossom) roll, the fish & other ingredients were fresh. Everyone was satisfied with their food & our server was attentive & nice. I'd definitely come back for the two appetizers, that's how good they were! read more

Good food, excellent presentation. Great atmosphere, perfect for a laid back evening. Decent service. Great options. Will be back.

Loved Noren Sushi! We were headed to a show at the Paramount just a few blocks away and this may be our new preshow spot. I made a reservation but that may not have been necessary before 7pm. It started to fill out by 6:30 though, so keep that in mind. The draft Japanese beers came out ice cold, and the food we ordered was staggered in service, so we weren't overwhelmed by plates. Between two of us we got three sushi rolls and a plate of veggie yakisoba. This was the perfect amount for us to feel comfortably full and not regret our choices. The Sakura Roll was my favorite of the three. We also got the Crazy Monkey and the Crispy Delight. All excellent rolls though, and each brought a different texture and flavor to the table. I wouldn't classify this as a "four dollar sign" sushi restaurant, necessarily. I think that might be a bit high, because while the prices aren't cheap-cheap, they're in line with the quality of the food. I think 2-3 dollar signs is more accurate, so don't let that scare you away from trying this awesome place! read more

When visiting Seattle for a conference, a friend and I went looking for something within walking distance from the convention center our first night. Noren Sushi Kitchen & Bar was about a 10-15 minute walk and fit the bill. Like every restaurant and bar currently in Seattle, Noren is taking COVID-19 precautions seriously. They verified our vaccination status at the door and also wore masks. The service was excellent. They sat tables with social distancing, which was good, so these were great features of the restaurant. For the food, I thought it was good, not great. The best sushi was the awesome and fresh salmon nigiri, and the scallop madness roll was interesting and pretty yummy. The shrimp tempura roll was below average. One of my friend's speciality rolls was tasty, and then the other was average. All in all, I would describe it as a 3.5 star meal and experience. I will round up to 4 because of the service and the COVID-19 social distanced seating. read more

Closed when I went for lunch. Not noted on yelp.why not. In from out of town. Took a cab here for no reason!!

WHAT A GREAT EXPERIENCE! PARKING! Parking even though it was a bit challenging, once you find a spot, you can download an app to pay to add more time if needed. We brought our relatives who were visiting there for dinner. I set a reservation through Google for 630, and we were going to be a bit late. Made a call and no problem. Finished our drinks at the Reserve and ran up the street for dinner here. They checked our temperature painlessly through some contraption pointed at our forehead. So glad it wasn't checked traditionally. We ordered quite a bit of food, so get comfy on your throne if you're gonna read all this. Calamari, Hamachi Special, and Garlic Edamame for appetizers. Fairly large calamari rings with a nice spicy sauce. Hamachi Special was good with a jalapeño slice on it. Garlic edamame was good as well. Agedashi was great! Fried nicely and partly in some sauce. For the food...bear with me. Trying to jog my memory because we had a great time if you know what I mean. Spicy tuna hand roll. Perfect. Not too hot and no shortcuts taken to try and pass off something. Salmon skin hand rolls. Maybe a bit under but still crispy. Didn't fall apart or take extra effort to bite. Volcano roll. Now there's a twist. It came with a small cup that was on fire on the side. Really neat to see that. Next up, Amy's Special. Can't remember too much on it because they kept it at the other side of the table and I was too much into the next dish. Firecracker roll. Very spicy and very enjoyed. One thing I'd probably mention was that the cut rolls seemed to come apart easily a few times. But nothing that affected anything big. At this point my brother in law and myself each killed a bottle of Sake and that's probably why I don't remember much of the rolls. Speaking of Sake. Wifey and sister in law shared a Sake sampler that had Strawberry, Lemon, and Matcha sakes. We finished off with some Mochi which...well...its Mochi. I think there is only one maker of Mochi in the world. Service? They were all amazing! Specially Olivia! She was like family and joining in the laughs and fun! Any time we come back...I hope she's there because she's that personable. read more

We failed to make it on time first night in Seattle, but we were determined to try it. So happy we did. Sea food is very fresh and fairly priced, sake collection is vast and staff is very friendly.

Went in with a large group and the service was severely lacking from start to finish. Our biggest issue was that they didn't tell anyone there was automatic gratuity but still asked for extra 18-20% on top of the auto grat they didn't say was already on there. Some of our party tipped on top when the service was so bad. Be honest about auto gratuity and friendly. Food was good but service and honesty is just as important. read more

NOPE!! I really liked being able to order sushi late at night but after their now menu prices I won't be returning. ONE PIECE OF SMALL SEARED SALMON $5?? In April it was $3.50/pc. I understand upcharging in this economy, but this is either pure greed or ignorance read more

While on my adventure, I spotted this place and said why not. My feet were killing me and I needed a meal break. Ordered two rolls and Karaag chicken. I was not impressed one bit. For the price, you think this will be a good spot with some tasty food but was I wrong. The only think that seem pictured worthy was the couple on a romantic date, while she wore happy cows come from California fur coat. Anyways, the Karaag was not cooked all the way. The batter left a chewy, under cooked batter. The rolls were okay. Could've gotten the same flavor profile from Costco. Service was okay. They greeted us at timely manner. Most definitely won't be back. read more

Found Noren from a recommendation of a Starbucks Partner at the Roastery at the bottom of the hill on the block. What a great suggestion, I am so thankful! I walked in and was immediately greeted by someone (couldn't tell where the voice was coming from) and that made this Southerner feel so welcomed! I sat at the sushi bar and made fast friends with those around me. Carson and Mindy were both so helpful, accommodating, and went over and beyond to help me fully enjoy my experience. I took a photo of one of the rolls because it was such an ARTFUL creation (....that I didn't even order ). The menu was overwhelming to an indecisive foodie, so after conversing with Carson narrowing down a variety of sushi, fish, and preparation types I landed on 2. Vegas Roll fried (shown) and Spicy Tuna Roll (not shown). I had a great dinner and an outstanding experience--I highly recommend Noren read more
