The overall vibes of the place are very cute, nice light fixtures and bar area. I came in for lunch on Wednesday last week (party of three) and there did seem to be a bit of a lunch rush. It took more than a few minutes to be greeted/served. The waitress didn't ask if we wanted any additional drinks. We were happy to wait for the ramen and the sushi, but my salad (which was removed from the bill after i asked) never came, and it was a 15 minute wait for a bowl of miso soup. By the time we ended up getting the soup, then another 20 minutes for the entrees, most of the restaurant had cleared out, and we were one of two tables left. The waitress never filled or asked to refill our waters, had to be flagged down to get the check, and took a long time to actually run our card. Didn't sit well with me. I understand there were only three on the floor, but if that is their standard lunch rush, they need to hire additional help. The food was fine. No one got food poisoning, but my party and I agreed we'd all had the same dish done better elsewhere. Had a huge problem with the sake descriptions as well. The one we got was described as "fruity and full bodied". Takes one sip and a google search to figure the main flavor is umami. I hope the next time I come to visit, they have picked it up, however, I doubt I will be making a return trip read more

Food was not great (verrrrry bland) and took forever - our waitress didn't take our order for an hour so a different waitress ended up taking our order. My friend's bun appetizer was undercooked. One of the cooks was super sweet and helped my friend take an aesthetic sushi photo. We went during one of their first opening days, so hopefully service improves. read more

Nori Maki Bar - Honeymoon - Sushi Bars Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

Food was pretty good, service was very slow. You could see them making the sushi but they were in a pretty cramped area which probably was part of the slowness. It would be better if it had been faster. Plating was nice and I enjoyed the food. read more

Nori Maki Bar - Spider roll and Honeymoon roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

Food: The seaweed salad was amazing. It tasted very fresh and the seaweed was crunchy. The dressing was sweet which made the seaweed pop. The beef gyoza were very good, the dough was soft and the meat was flavorful. The acidic side sauce helped balance it out too. All of the dishes were very beautifully plated. I had the California and bonzai rolls, which were both good. The California was simplistic but had a nice flavor. The bonzai roll was delicious, it was smoky, and the tempura inside was crispy and cooked perfectly. The fish on top added a nice texture too. Service: The food came out quick, and the rolls came out as they were finished, which I appreciated. They didn't all come out at the same time so it made it feel more relaxed. Atmosphere: The decorations were nice and calming and it was overall a very laid back experience. We got to pick which tables we wanted and ordered at a leisurely pace. Overall: The food here was very good and had an upscale feel to it. The only thing though is that it's a little on the pricier side. $19 for one of the rolls is a lot but the quality and flavor were good. read more

Just didn't give "fresh". Lots of rolls with cream cheese. The salmon was more milky looking than bright orange. It wasn't awful but I most likely will go somewhere else next time. Our server was nice but she was there alone so she was running! read more

The clean and elegant restaurant prides itself on expertly crafted sushi. While the food was satisfying along with the service, the menu was small and offered limited items. Most of the sushi was commonly found and didn't go above and beyond on creativity. The tuna roles were not my favorite and didn't match the restaurant's elegance. Portions were small but price was steep. Overall, the experience was pleasant, but has plenty of room for innovation and improvement. read more

Nori Maki Bar - Inside - Sushi Bars Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

Let me start by saying the servers at this restaurant seem to be trying their hardest. They were pleasant and attentive. That said, this was probably the worst restaurant experience we've ever had in Fort Collins. My husband and I had a last-minute opportunity for a date night without our kids. It's Valentine's Day, so we knew a wait was possible. Luckily, we called ahead and they could take us as a walk-in. We were seated almost immediately, orders were taken, and everything seemed fine. Then it went downhill. There was a large party of about ten people who turned out to be the OWNERS. This table monopolized the attention of both servers and the kitchen, ordering one drink or dish at a time. We waited 30 minutes for our appetizer gyoza, then another hour for two rolls and a six-piece sashimi. The sashimi never came. During that hour, whenever the owners' table wanted something, they would start whooping and shouting for the servers, each person getting louder than the last, like a table of middle schoolers playing the penis game. Except these were adults who appeared to be in their 50s. It was loud enough to startle every other guest in the restaurant. When the check arrived, we were charged for a roll we never ordered, and we had to remind the server about our missing sashimi. We didn't even want it at that point, but were never given the chance to say so. What eventually came out, after yet another ten-minute wait, was a hack job: what looked like leftover end pieces from other rolls, room temperature, and not fresh. As we left, we rolled our eyes at the large table, not yet knowing they were the owners. They began heckling us, yelling "losers" and "assholes" at us as we walked out. The owners are sabotaging their own employees, who will almost certainly lose tips from other tables because of this behavior. Despite the incredibly bad experience, we left a generous tip, only because it was a holiday and it was clear the staff were being harassed by their own employers. We will not be back. read more

We have ordered from work a couple of times now but each time the order was off. The food is okay. I wouldn't go out of my way to go and have lunch or dinner. It's a big okay but nothing more. read more

Small, yet beautifully decorated. Calming music playing. Friendly staff and delicious sushi. The salmon, tuna, and yellow tail are all fantastically fresh. The salmon nigiri is sublime. The beauty and the beast and the honeymoon are both a must try. The ginger and wasabi was yum, along with the soy sauce! There are other rolls I'd like to try as well. Will definitely be back! read more

Being from Vegas and moving here I was skeptical on finding a good sushi place around Fort Collins but when my fiancé insisted on going here, I said yes because I was deeply craving any type of Asian food. The food was savory and fresh! The flavors were so tasty! We got the heart attack and the Ohana I believe that's what they were called. One unfortunate thing about sushi places here is I don't really think there's any "all you can eat" so be prepared to spend a little bit more money on rolls but the quality does it's justice. It was only us 2 in the restaurant which was very surprising since the food was really good! Our waitress was kinda and the service was quick! Will be coming here again! Thank you! read more

Every time we come here, we say this is some of the best sushi we've ever had. Tonight my wife got a veggie roll and she said it is absolutely the best roll she has ever had from anywhere! The variety of veggies, Christmas and freshness, and the size of the roll. We're all excellent. And my spicy bowl was certainly well worth it and offered a nice variety. read more

When I'm craving a solo sushi date with a quiet and calm atmosphere, I head down Harmony to Nori Maki. Parking is easy and plentiful to find along the east side of the building. The interior is nicely decorated with a full bar, and a row of booths line the window looking out to the dog park across the way. I'm always seated immediately when it comes to lunch time since they don't seem to be too full the handful of times I've been there (lucky me!) and service is always prompt. Their lunch specials are a pretty good deal for the price - two large and fresh rolls for just $15. While I would love to have the miso soup included, the extra $3 is sometimes worth the "splurge" when it's chilly and rainy outside, and they offer hot (and cold) saki in addition to their draft beer, bottled wine list and a few specialty cocktails. My go-to rolls are the eel and avocado, and the spicy yellowtail - the avocado is always tender, the eel sauce drizzled on top is generous without being overwhelming, and the plate decor gives you a feast for your eyes in addition to a delicious meal for your tongue! Highly recommend for a relaxing and quick lunch! read more

Nori Maki Bar - a close up of a roll of sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

My experience at Nori was very much just "ok". We had several sushi rolls, and the sashimi bowls. To be fair, the sashimi bowl didn't state on the menu that there would be any rice in the bowl, so while that was a disappointment, it's not like they weren't delivering on something they promised. Just our expectation with the word "bowl". The sushi itself, though, just average. My husband's "Spider Roll" was cold, not just room temp., my "Rock and Roll" didn't have a ton of flavor, and we just left kind of hungry. Obviously we could have ordered more, but we weren't super impressed and just didn't want to spend any more money. Not terrible, but not a place I'm dying to try again. read more

Brought my son here for his graduation, and was happy with the experience overall. I would say it is the best sushi in Fort Collins by far, and the only reason for a 4 star (instead of 5 star) is the comparison to other cities 5 star establishments. They are a 5 star for the Fort Collins area. The presentation, menu, and service was good (not great), but we will definitely be back. The pricing is fair, and the menu could use a little more. read more

We discovered this place as we were moving to FoCo from Denver. After the first nights' meal we quickly returned to enjoy this amazingly fresh sushi! Its been six months living here now and not a week passes by that we dont go in to Visit John at the bar or Karen our favorite waitress! Make this a New Years Resolution! My usual is Miso soup, sashimi plate, and a spicy yellow tail roll. A Sapporo and a saki on tap to top off a perfect dinner! read more

Nori Maki Bar is a gem for sure. The sushi is tasty, they have a great selection of sake, and the decor is really cool. I was under the impression from the photos that it was a lot more formal than it was, so don't go in expecting anything but a casual atmosphere. The sushi is beautifully presented. All the sauces are drizzled across the plates with complimentary garnishes--you can tell a lot of care and time goes into cultivating each dish. Even with this fabulous presentation, the service is really fast! I got the veggie roll that featured tempura sweet potato, something I'd never seen before but knew in my heart would be delicious (my heart was right). I also tried the eel avocado roll, and that flavorful dish did not disappoint either. Another great aspect was the sake offerings. We opted for the Organic Sake, and the server poured our first glass, which was a nice touch. Something that detracted from the atmosphere here were the chairs half wrapped in plastic that sat in the corner. The chairs gave the impression that the restaurant was unfinished (which seems likely) and was too "behind the scenes" for my liking, particularly because I was looking for a more formal experience. Regardless, the service, food, and sake were all amazing and I will be back! read more

I seem to be the first one to post a gluten free/celiac review, so I hope people find this helpful. I called first to ask which sushi rolls are gluten free, and was thrilled to hear that most of them can be! The only things making them NOT gluten free are anything tempura or fried, and eel/eel sauce. I ordered a Honeymoon roll, a Mango Tango roll, and an order of salmon nigiri. It was all delicious and I'm stuffed! I also feel confident that my allergy needs were taken care of, which is obviously a huge deal. I'll definitely be eating here again! read more

Called ahead an order at 5:00pm to be picked up at 8:45pm - so my husband and I could enjoy sushi at home after going to the movies with our kids on Valentine's Day. If you can't do call ahead orders just say that, don't make us wait 30 minutes for an order you promised would be ready. We like the sushi but that was really disappointing. Not a nice way to treat customers. read more

WAY better than Suehiro!!! This place should be packed all the time. Good quality, authentic sushi and what keeps us going back is that they are ALWAYS willing to make/create our requests even if they aren't on the menu.
