My favorite sushi place in the whole world so far! It must be always a Friday sushi night when I think in this place. Owners are extremely nice and kind. I absolutely recommend Nori Roll, you will love it! read more

The best sushi ever! Never disappointed, always fresh and great service. Just plan to eat elsewhere.

I got some take out from Nori the other day - chicken karaage and chirashi. The chirashi was a pretty good deal, hit the sashimi craving spot and was fresh, and had a good balance of fish to rice. I'd try more items from here. read more

I've been coming here over 5 years everything is Delicious, and fresh, I have never been disappointed the owners are Great too

First timer here! We were looking for some decent priced sushi for takeout to eat at home and found this on Yelp and were pleasantly surprised. Everything we got was delicious and flavorful- miso soup, Play Boy, Baby Dragon, and tempura. The sushi portion was huge, fish was fresh, and just the right amount of sauce. For the price we paid, it was totally worth it. We found our new sushi spot in the area! read more

What a treat! Picked up from Nori Roll on my way home from work on a Friday evening, the place was running to-go orders only and seemed busy. Totally worth the minor wait, I got an order of Gyoza, Philly roll, California roll, Tomago & Maguro nigiri, seaweed salad. All was so fresh, the fish sashimi grade and smooth, avocado creamy and crab savory. This is a local spot, family run, I'll be returning for more! read more

They're all so nice and always busy when we go. It's a small restaurant not to sit in but take out food. We had the Bento Box and the Chicken it's good. And my husband had the Crispy Roll which he enjoyed. The portions are big compare to other places I had. read more

The vegan options are really limited. I was only able to get Avocado/Cucumber & Sweet Potato rolls Although, the rolls themselves are very simplistic, they were so yummy! In total, I got three rolls and it only totaled to $13! I was surprisingly full. I really did wish that they would provide more vegan options. I would also like to note that my three rolls took about 30 minutes to finish. I thought the wait time was a bit long. read more

Totally solid sushi for a really good price that enables my side to have a sushi habit, hopefully this can be a new go to.

It's just my luck that as I'm preparing to move out of the El Cerrito area due to life changes that another amazing eatery like Nori Roll pops up. I don't hear as much buzz around this city as Oakland, but there's been so much to embrace within just a few miles' radius around here and I feel they just deserve way more credit than what I'm seeing. It wasn't my first time ordering takeout last night but after attending a pickup game on a Sunday evening I didn't feel much like cooking so I ordered a dragon roll as I was doing grocery shopping at the nearby Sprouts Market. The roll was ready and still hot when I picked it up, and 5 minutes later I was at home wolfing down the most satisfying roll I've had in awhile. Ordering thru the Yelp app was easy as pie, the pick up was ready when I got there, and the fresh avocado mingling with juicy eel on a perfectly crisped tempura shrimp-filled roll was just the thing I needed to end the weekend. Nori Roll makes regular takeout sushi an affordable luxury, and you can't ever go wrong with healthy fresh fish. read more

Got the spicy tuna roll and 6 piece nigiri. Amazing deal, great price for super fresh and generous amount of sushi. Can't wait to come back when I'm in the area. Highly recommend! read more

After hiking in Tilden, we were starving for good food but knew that we had to get something quick because we had a pottery class to attend to right after. My friend found this place on Yelp as it had a pretty good rating even though it didn't have a lot of reviews (I always try to find a good balance between number of reviews and overall star ratings because I want to minimize my risk of having a subpar meal!). Since it was sushi, I was of course down to try it, since sushi is my favorite food to eat at any time of the day or night. I was really pleased with my experience here at Nori Roll! What I liked was how quick the service was - granted there weren't many people in the restaurant at the time, but I was still impressed by how quickly the food came out. Even the Lion King roll came out quickly despite it being a baked roll. I also liked all the food items I ordered: the Philly roll components tasted really fresh, and I liked the added touch of roe on the outside of the roll. The Lion King roll was also delicious; my worry sometimes with baked salmon rolls is that the salmon can get overcooked and become chewy, but the salmon in this roll was perfectly cooked. I also liked that our meal came with a complementary dish of edamame and miso soups for both of our meals. Oh, and the prices of the food were really reasonable as well! There isn't much that I don't like about Nori Roll; the only thing I would say is that it is a small space so there is a danger of having to wait depending on what time of day you go. Other than that, Nori Roll is a solid place for some good sushi, and I'd definitely make a return trip! read more

I told myself that 2021 would be the year of more cheap-ish sushi rolls and I put this plan into motion starting at Nori Roll. The rolls I got (one was like a caterpillar roll and the other some sort of spicy crab one, i forget the names) were both fine but the rice was kinda bad. It was mushy and had too much vinegar on it. Kind of inari amounts. But speaking of amounts, these rolls are pretty huge and finishing both took some stubbornness on my part (def should have saved some for an afternoon snack). read more

Just tried this place out 5/13. Placed an order at the shop and it was about 15 minutes for a huge order (so pretty fast). Portions are big, fish is fresh. We had nigiri and rolls. All were delicious. Note that they put wasabi in the nigiri (as you should under the fish). Just an FYI for those who don't like wasabi. Also this is a take away place. No seating. Will definitely return. read more

We randomly stumbled upon Nori Roll during a recent stop in El Cerrito, but I will 100% be back to Nori Roll soon! We had the chirashi bowl, Lion King roll, and rainbow roll. I was extremely hungry, but we still had some leftovers because the portion sizes were very generous. The meal also came with a large box of edamame, miso soup, and salad. The raw fish was very fresh and delicious. Much better than many places I've been to in San Francisco and the East Bay. The rolls had really good ratios of fish/rice, and I especially enjoyed the sauce on the Lion King roll. Super affordable, too - the chirashi bowl was ~$16 for a hearty serving, and each roll was $10.99. We'll definitely be back very soon, even if we have to make a special trip to El Cerrito just for Nori Roll! read more

Solid, Affordable, Fresh and Good Customer Service! Big fan of the Dragon Roll and Spicy Tuna Roll. If you like warm sushi, a lot of people like the Lion King Roll w/ baked salmon on top. The rolls are really affordable and worth the price for the quality. I've only ordered takeout and they're always incredibly nice. They've also never messed up my order(s) and don't come cheap on the wasabi, soy sauce and ginger. read more

The rolls are so good. What can I say FRESH is what this place is all about. The quality of the fish is also stellar. The seaweed in the roles is still crispy this so hard to achieve with takeout. Please make sure you give them a lot of time to make it. I show up in my time slot and always need to wait 10 -15 minutes longer but it is so worth it! read more

Small spot in El Cerrito with big value. Only three bales, they do a lot of takeout but worth a stop whether you stay or go. Fresh fish, decent length to menus, rolls, nigiri, sashimi, combo plates. Their lunch specials are a great deal, two item choice for $9.95! Check it! read more

Nori Roll - Great quality and value! - Sushi Bars Near Me - El Cerrito, California

My fave place for reasonably priced fresh sushi. Great variety as well. Try 49ers role.

Definitely recommend this place. This sushi place is inexpensive, hence we usually order more than we can eat. It is very delicious. My picky eater child who won't touch sushi would eat the sushi from here. read more

Perfect take out, they have a table set up with social distancing enforced. Staff was very friendly! We spent a total of 60 dollars which fed a group of 4. Their basic rolls were a highlight. They took a staple roll like the California roll and reinvigorated it with simple and fresh ingredients. Definitely will come back to try other rolls. read more

Always on the prowl for good soosh. I saw this newish place opened, so clean and promising. I Decided to order through yelp and run a couple of errands. When I showed up a few folks were doing the same aka preordered and paid. So they actually hadn't finished my order. This place is really designed to take out, even though that have modest sitting area. Rolls were tasty but poorly constructed. Rice was too dry and thick. However if you want soosh without waiting, it's a much better choice that that place on the other end of San Pablo's Bezerkely and Albany boarder. read more

I've come here multiple times when I'm in the area to visit my grandmother and I really love coming here! Staff are so, so friendly and they're always cheerful! Service is great! Food is DELICIOUS! I got katsu bento box and it is just mouth watering! I also like eating their sushi like tamago and I highly recommend the lion king roll! Really full of flavor and very filling! I also like the salmon teriyaki! Good portion, filling, and it honestly tastes like home! Would definitely recommend this place :) read more

I have been wanting to try both roll for a while as there are not that many good sushi joint in West Berkeley AKA kiku sushi (food poisoning flashback). I do like kirala and mama to, but they are kinda far from my place unless I am in the area. I tried a while back through grubhub, but they never dropped off my food (uninstall grubhub after that) I was hanging out with friends and a local bar for garden and I walked over to get some to go. I ordered a hamachi roll, Hawaiian roll (tuna and avo), California roll and a chirashi meal. For $30, it is a new favorite spot when I am in the mood for sushi. The quality is average, but for the price, it is not bad. The rice could use a bit more vinegar, but the rolls were good. Since I could not have california roll or the shrimp in the chirashi bowl due to a allergy, I was told that they tasted good. The avo was fresh and the fish was tasty. The chirashi bowl came with a miso soup and side salad. The dressing, I could do without, it was like a yuzu miso, which tasted like jam mixed with miso dressing. The miso soup was good, but I would have prefer they use soft tofu instead of firm, but that is just my preference. The overall bowl was tasty, but I wish there was more fish variety. The salmon, tuna, tamago & white tuna were nice big slices, but the mackerel was overly firm and fishy (most likely formerly frozen). This place is owned by chinese family and seems to be a place that people order out more than dine in, as there are only a few tables. Parking is available in the free lot outside. Would come back and try the speciality rolls. read more

Just want to say THANK YOU! During COVID 19 lockdown, this business kept pumping out the to-go orders making my daughter's birthday special. She knew her party was cancelled, all she wanted was her favorite food - salmon sushi! It was also very fresh and delicious. We will be ordering from them again! read more

I am quite picky when it comes to sushi; fresh fish and good rice is very important. But we were thoroughly impressed with our experience at Nori Roll! I had the "playboy roll" and my mom had the "caterpillar roll." They were both delicious and had the perfect rice in the rolls! The service was great too, which added to the experience. I am looking forward to my next stop at Nori Roll! read more

Nori Roll is consistently good. It's always hard to find good sushi but for this place to be in El Cerrito I can't complain. It's always fresh and worth the price you pay (which isn't bad.) If you're looking for quality sushi in this area this is definitely a must try. read more

This is hands down the best sushi joint around. Not only is it affordable, but the quality of fish is insane. Everything is always fresh and you can tell they care about the food they're putting out. My go-tos are the Angry Bird, Dragon, and Tiger rolls. And their miso soup is great too. Service is fast and everyone has always been friendly. This to-go only "hole in the wall" is some of the best sushi and I'm so glad it's nearby. read more

Family run business. Tiny spot, mostly for take out and delivery orders. They have bento boxes and many variety for sushi. I came closer to closing and since they didn't have two pieces for scallop they ended up giving me their last piece for free. The sushi itself is okay- it's your neighborhood family run sushi joint. The seaweed wasn't as crunchy or the rice was falling apart, but you really can't expect too much. Cute little place, will def return if I have a craving! read more

Very fast and very delicious! Takeout available during the COVID-19 pandemic, with pick up being just outside their front door. I got a bento box with gyoza and tonkatsu, everything was very flavorful. We also got the veggie tempura which tasted fresh and had a nice variety of vegetables. My husband enjoyed his rolls, everything seemed fresh and well put together. We'll be back! read more

I travel a lot and i need good sushi places and this is my go to when i'm in berkeley california!

Service has always been great and they're very accommodating to our needs. There aren't any authentic sushi places here so please don't expect authentic sushi. It's quality sushi at a wonderful price. And the customer service is friendly and on point. Our family orders at least once a month. read more

Came her for lunch because of near my house. The service was good, the people are nice. The business is very generous. They gave free salad, free soup, and free tea. I've never been to a sushi restaurant that was so giving to their customers. As far as the quality of food, you won't be disappointed. Worth the try and worth the stay. read more

Because of the pandemic (and how lazy I am), Nori Roll was the choice for delivery. We ordered three rolls and one of those crabs salads. I'm having a hard time writing this review because the food was very average--just another sushi joint. However, I'll give this place a second chance when I can come in and try everything. read more

Our go-to sushi takeout spot. Mom and pop business that always delivers quality meals. I'd recommend the Rainbow Roll, the Potato Croquettes, Miso Soup, and the Tempura roll. read more
