    I genuinely do not understand how this place is only rated 3.7 -- Nori Nori is a solid FIVE STAR experience from start to finish. Maybe I lucked out because it wasn't packed to the brim when I visited, but there was still a good crowd -- and even with that, everything flowed like clockwork. There was plenty of parking, and from the moment I stepped in, every staff member I encountered was warm and welcoming. The space is huge with lots of seating, so even on a busy night, I doubt you'd be waiting long. Now let's talk about the real star -- the food. Every single item I tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The sushi selection? Impeccable. We tried almost every roll they had, and only two didn't hit our palate -- but even then, they were still crafted well. As soon as anything started running low, the staff was already in the process of replenishing it. No empty trays. No delay. Just nonstop quality. And while the sushi is worth the visit alone, don't overlook the rest of the buffet. Crawfish. Fried soft shell blue crab. Hot dishes galore. The variety was next-level. And then came dessert. The tiramisu? One of the best I've ever had at a buffet -- maybe anywhere. The matcha ice cream? I could write an entire review just on that. Creamy, rich, and perfectly balanced. I wish I had saved room to try the made-to-order crepes, but after an hour and a half of food bliss, I was stuffed. Our server was also phenomenal -- funny enough, she shared the same name as my grandma. That alone made it feel like I was meant to be there. And at $40.99 per person? Completely worth it. No rushing. No hovering. Just a laid-back, high-quality dining experience. Let me put it like this: I rarely write five-star reviews the same day I visit a place. But I had to tell the world about Nori Nori immediately. If you're in the area -- or even if you're not -- do yourself a favor and check this place out. You. Will. Not. Regret. It.

    The sushi was delicious and relatively high quality given that it's served buffet style instead from the menu. The hot items were delicious too especially the bulgogi, salmon, and even the lamb at the craving station. The dessert selection was small, but the food from there especially the crepe was yummy.

    Literally side dishes only

    Went in for lunch and how do they charge $21 and it's side dishes in big plates?? Sushi were mid and were falling off. This section on the picture was literally side salads and side dishes lol. So many ayce lunch with the same price point with actual food variety to choose from.

    I've been here before Covid hit, and I've been here after that. I definitely think things have changed, but the majority has remained the same. I come here for dinner with my mom which is around $45 per person, and you get every option available for lunch, and sashimi, crepes, hibachi, snow crab legs, and oysters. It's definitely less busy than the past, but regardless you have to wait in line to get snow crab legs or oysters to get a chance to try some. I've never had an issue with their quality of food or service and had remained consistent after all these years. I recommend coming here and eating your moneys worth, but also trying the variety in sushi rolls and food they have! I also recommend the matcha soft serve!!

    Come hungry. If you come for dinner they have all you can eat crab legs which are constantly being turned over because people are loading up. They've got sushi, they've got ramen, they have all of your standard hibachi favorites. There is so many things to try here to include matcha ice cream for dessert. Everything is actually made fresh and it is worth the price of Entry

    The food is perfect. The restaurant is so nice and cozy too. The service is okay. The price is expensive for dinner. For lunch, that's still affordable, considering you will eat a lots of Sushi and Sashimi.

    I remember growing up in Alabama taking road trips to Atlanta just to eat at Nori Nori. I've been a regular since then and now that I live here in Atlanta my wallet is losing weight, and my body is gaining it. The sushi is always freshly made with high quality ingredients. Their hot food could use some work as it is on the basic side, but I usually go there for their sushi bar. The service is always so welcoming, right when you walk in, a nice big aquarium with a bunch of colorful fishes greet you and sets the mood. They also have a poster board mimicking an Instagram page for photo ops. The parking is also super easy as they share a lot with a shopping center and there's ample amount of it. As much as I love this place, the main reason I am not giving them a 5 star is because they did recently increase their pricing, but no improvements or changes were made on the service or food provided. The bathrooms are also tiny, and need some love. Not to be graphic, but for a buffet, you'd think they'd have more than 2 stalls, and on top of that the last few times I've gone, always one is out of order. I also noticed they started making their sushi rolls smaller to most likely save on cost. Personally, I love going here during lunch, because the pricing for dinner is not worth it for me. The have a few extra items such as sashimi and crepes, which don't warrant for almost twice the price.

    Not the place for me. All you can eat Japanese food, sounded good at the time. The restaurant was clean, the service was good, the food was fresh, but I left feeling that this was just another Asian buffet at twice the price. The selection of food was good there were maybe 50+ items along with a good selection of sushi rolls. They kept the food fresh, but most items that I tried, were lacking flavor. Bottom line for me, the sushi was no different that your average Asian buffet. I would not return.

    The staff is friendly and constantly busy. There is a LOT of seating and a large buffet, well laid out. The environment is bright and upbeat. Tables are ready to sit at, restrooms are clean. The sushi buffet is perfect - so much to choose from. My boyfriend & I have different likes as far as sushi and we are both happy with this set up. There is something for everyone, and a lot of it! Theres lots of other options too, from skewers to teriyaki chicken to crab legs to bulgogi beef, etc. And a great little dessert bar as well!! Everything is good and fresh and we love it here.

    Are the crab legs only for dinner buffet? Also, what is the cutoff to eat after lunch time- it says hours end at 2:30 but what if you arrived at say 2?

    Crab legs are only on the dinner menu. If you arrive at 2, you better eat fast. The waiters will let you know when last call is on the lunch buffet. They start cleaning up and prepping for dinner service around 2:30.

    Is this only seafood, or do they have good non-seafood selections, as well?

    They have a wide selection of non-seafood items. Including many different salads, cooked vegetables and even hibachi

    Does the buffet open right now (03/25/2021)?

    They are open and close at 3 and reopens like 5

    Is the buffet open right now (9/2020)?

    Yes it is. I went 2 weeks ago .Mask are required at the bars , The tables are spaced out , and You must use gloves when picking your food at the bar.

    How can i see the pricing for takeout menu?

    How much they charge for kids? What's the age they start charging? Lunch/dinner pricing

    They charge for children based on height. I think that infants are free (under 1 years old or not walking). They charge a percentage of the adult price i.e. 60% off of adult price or 80% off of the adult price based on the height of the child.

    What is the difference in the holiday menu?

    From my understanding there wasn't one. If the holiday falls on a weekend i.e. Mother's Day or Father's Day it would end up being the weekend dinner rate. I am not sure about Monday holidays i.e (Labor Day or Memorial Day).

    Do they offer the crab legs every night or just weekends?

    Yes every night crab legs

    What's the difference between lunch and dinner?

    Sashimi, crab legs, crawfish, hibachi grill, dessert crepes, and oysters

And then I just received a roll at a time, which isn't the end of the world, but I like to eat from each roll and compare / go back and forth. I shared four rolls with a friend - Georgia Crunch, Salmon Tempura, Energy, and Braves. I thought Georgia Crunch was just alright. Salmon Tempura roll was pretty spicy and very good. The Energy was very yummy and the Braves was really good, just note that it's five very large pieces (circumference-wise). My gf got a hibachi dish which she said was different then any hibachi she's had but enjoyed it. It didn't come with enough rice though. A couple weeks ago, I figured I'd give them another chance and ordered takeout. I got the Alaskan and Hawaiian rolls. They were both ok, very fresh but kind of bland. They didn't give me the spicy mayo that comes on the Hawaiian roll, which was very disappointing. Also one is listed as having "crab stick" and the other "crab meat," but they both came with crab stick. If a roll has crab stick in it, that's what should be listed! Even if that's what's meant by crab meat, they should be consistent when listing what's in each roll. My gf got the same hibachi dish, and it was fine but they only gave her a tiny scoop of rice. There is no reason to skimp on rice! The prices are comparable to other sushi spots but I don't think I'm going to go back again.

Like a lot of other omakase places the restaurant was a little hard to find since it's pretty much just a door with a small sign and a couple of windows. The service there was phenomenal and I loved the variety for dishes! We had the 17 course meal for $242/person after taxes and tip, which was a little expensive but seemed fair for Atlanta. We started with some apps and my favorite was the oysters. Then most of the courses were various nigiri and ofc my favorites were the fatty tuna and eel. I also really liked the uni even though I usually don't! The presentation for everything was gorgeous and some of the sushi was pretty unique with the flavor pairings.

One of the highlights was the Kimi Oboro, prepared using a 200-year-old vinegar technique -- simply remarkable. My sister loved every dish, even falling in love with the pickled ginger! The service was outstanding as well -- two servers took care of us throughout the evening, always greeting us with genuine smiles and impeccable manners. This was probably the best omakase experience I've ever had -- and I've had over a hundred. I'm so glad my sister's first omakase turned into an unforgettable memory. Huge thanks to everyone who served us last night. Highly recommend this place to both first-timers and seasoned sushi lovers alike!

They asked multiple questions and ultimately assumed our service animal was an emotional support animal (ESA), even though that was not the case. Based on that incorrect assumption, they denied us service. We chose to leave politely rather than argue, but it was an embarrassing and frustrating experience. There were no signs posted indicating any restrictions regarding service animals, and legitimate service animals are protected under federal law. If you have a disability and rely on a service animal, I would not recommend this restaurant based on our experience. We left feeling disrespected and disappointed by how the situation was handled.

Everything was good, as was the service and ambiance. This is a fun and neat concept - unique to Atlanta - located in the High Street mixed-use development in Dunwoody/Perimeter. Cuddlefish originally opened in the old Brush Sushi space in Decatur in November 2022. Cuddlefish moved and opened in Dunwoody in March 2025. (Brush moved and opened in Buckhead in August 2023.) Cuddlefish is from the same Michelin-starred, award-winning folks behind Brush, Lucky Star, Momonoki, etc. (Jason Liang, ChingYao Wang, John Chen). Cuddlefish is on OpenTable, so you can book reservations there and earn points. Free parking is available in one of High Street's garages. The best place to park is in the garage that's in the same building as Cuddlefish. Enter the garage via Cross St. After parking, there's a convenient walkway that leads out of the garage that's only a couple storefronts away from Cuddlefish. The restaurant has a nice corner spot at High Street. Outside, there's a spacious covered patio. Inside, the temaki bar, dining room, and bakery-cafe all share a modern, open space. The bakery-cafe is small. We had a party of five, including a baby. Here's what my wife and I had: RESTAURANT: Sake Creations * Matcha Saketini sake cocktail ($14) Other Drinks * Yuzu Lychee Mocktail (off-menu, on the house; thank you!) Starters * Sweet Potato Chips ($6) - plum seasoning * Garlic Black Pepper Edamame ($7) * Crispy Tofu ($10) - Sichuan peppercorn, soy garlic, scallion Temaki * Chili Avocado ($7) - chili ponzu, chili paste, negi * Truffle Shiitake ($8) * Shrimp Katsu ($9) - pineapple, cantaloupe * Real Crab California ($9) - chili aioli * Salmon Tataki, cooked ($8) - Asian pear, shallot ponzu, negi * Yellowtail & Salsa ($8) - jalapeno cilantro, fried leeks * Salmon Tataki, regular ($8) - Asian pear, shallot ponzu, negi, ikura * Toro Uni Ikura ($25) * Salmon Ikura ($9) * Hokkaido Uni ($25) BAKERY-CAFE: * Matcha Tiramisu Latte ($7) - iced, oat milk * Matcha Strawberry Croissant Cup ($7) * Matcha Chocolate Cookie ($5) My wife and I each had five temaki plus apps. That was enough to fill us up for a meal. I probably could've had one or two more temaki. In general, every item was well-made and delicious. All of the temaki were great and all of the ingredients were fresh. The presentation was beautiful. My favorite temaki were the Toro Uni Ikura, Salmon Ikura, and Hokkaido Uni. My wife is pregnant, so they accommodated her with a free mocktail, cooking the salmon and excluding the ikura on her Salmon Tataki temaki. We appreciated that. Our table gobbled everything up. The Matcha Saketini was thick and heavy on the matcha. We did find it cumbersome to remove two strips of plastic for each temaki, but we understand why they do it (to keep the seaweed crisp). Sometimes, some of the ingredients would slide off with the plastic wrap, which was not ideal. I heard that if you sit at the bar, you don't have to deal with the plastic wrap (e.g., if you do a temaki tasting). The treats from the bakery-cafe were yummy. Service was excellent. All of the staff was polite and friendly. Thank you, Sian, Etta, and the Asian guy with glasses whose name I did not get. The name "Cuddlefish" is a play on cuttlefish, which is similar to a squid. Growing up, I ate dried cuttlefish from Thailand as a snack.
