    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

The bartender, a young African American woman with blonde braids, greeted me in a manner that felt noticeably different from the way she interacted with other guests. I'm also a black woman and was shocked that she treated me in this manner. She slammed the menus on the bar without a greeting, did not ask if we wanted anything to drink, and walked away to assist other customers. I specifically paid attention to how she interacted with others to ensure I was being fair in my assessment. When she returned, she simply stood in front of me without speaking. I assumed she was ready to take my order, so I placed it. Throughout the interaction, she appeared irritated and acted as though I was inconveniencing her by being there. We waited over 30 minutes for our to-go order, and during that entire time, neither of us was offered water or checked on. When the food was finally ready, she placed it on the bar without saying a word. We were also never given a bill or any instructions on where to pay, so we had to ask. Her response was once again rude and dismissive. I then requested to speak with a manager, but my request was ignored. I ultimately had to locate the manager myself. I understand that everyone can have a difficult day, but guests should still be treated with basic courtesy and respect. I was genuinely confused by the way I was treated, especially since I had never met this employee before. and so was the service, it was unacceptable and left a very negative impression. I didn't leave a tip because the service was that bad. I'm was with someone who usually tips our waitress $100 easy every time we go out. I specifically instructed him not to. I hope management addresses this issue, as no customer should feel unwelcome or disrespected while simply trying to place an order. To make things worse my steak was not well done as asked and my veggies were so soggy i threw the entire order away and went somewhere else. I will never visit that place again.

The service was actually pretty good and was fast so I didn't wait a whole long time to get my food and everybody was really cool and friendly. Brussel sprouts - The brussel sprouts were okay. They came temporary style so they were fried and battered. I'm pretty sure those are ranch dressing that went along with them, or maybe the sauce for the fries was that and sauce, I'm not sure. But they were okay. But I wouldn't rush back to them necessarily. Crispy chicken - The crispy chicken was decent. It came in very large chunks of chicken, kind of like smaller chicken tenders. Nothing out of the box though. They were only so seasoned, nothing got to make your mouth explode LOL Beef chashu bowl - This bowl was good. Kind of reminds me of that. I'm getting your beef kind of flavor. It's basically a rice bowl if you traded the ramen and the broth for rice. And you have that beef and the egg and a couple of other accompaniments, but it's really good or very far too. I kind of a brown sugar teriyaki kind of blend and if you want to know the flavor profile. Spicy chicken ramen - was good. I got it spicy but it's another level above that. If you want more heat. It comes with two chicken in it, and plenty of very good news. The broth is super savory and it will make you tingle a little bit LOL. French fries - The fries are shoestring fries and they're okay. They tell me the sauce. I'm not sure what it is though. But they are decent, nothing pretty out of the box. Even though it's a chain, the ramen is totally worth it.
