Nori Japanese Steakhouse

I ordered the kids meal NY strip hibachi and I am not impressed. I was NOT expecting the steak in a kids meal to be basically RARE, that makes me sick. The steak was also extremely chewy and the meal lacked flavor. Even for $16, I’m very disappointed. This was my first time trying Nori, and I will not be returning.

If I could give zero stars for food and service, I would. My family and I have dined here many times in the past and have generally had good experiences. Unfortunately, today’s visit was extremely disappointing. I stopped in during my lunch break and ordered the hibachi steak meal with added noodles. While eating, I discovered a piece of metal stuck to my rice. I immediately returned inside to show the staff member. She apologized and told then quickly took the food to the back and asked if I wanted it remade, which I declined. I then requested a refund and was told she needed to contact a manager. A male staff member informed me they were short-staffed and that no manager was on-site. When the staff member contacted the manager by phone, I overheard her say “the metal may have come from

We tried to plan ahead by sending an email for a reservation—complete radio silence, no response whatsoever. When we called instead, the host casually assured us we “wouldn’t need one,” so we showed up expecting a smooth evening. Big mistake. Once seated (at a regular table, not hibachi—because apparently that matters for service level here), we waited quite a while just to be acknowledged. When drinks finally arrived, our beers were warm—seriously. Things went downhill from there. We ordered soup, only to be told they were completely out of spoons - they told us we could either sip it if we wanted or wait for the next dishwasher load of spoons. We also never received utensils of any kind despite asking. We found chopsticks ourselves at a side station and asked for silverware only to be to

Actually so amazing came here for my brothers birthday and they not only congratulated him but got him a small free cake! Got me and my friend to buy one. Great advertising, great environment, friendly staff. Our waitress was super helpful, always refilling our drinks and taking out dishes. My favorite place to eat.

The atmosphere was underwhelming and lacked flare and energy. We were seated in the back dining area. When we first arrived at our table, it was as dirty and had rice all over it. The room was loud and hot; at one point it reached 83 degrees (we could see that on the thermostat on the wall). The chairs were too short for the height of the table and some people in our party were not comfortable and could not reach to eat properly. I ordered a shrimp tempura appetizer and did not receive it until I was almost done with my meal. They advised that the kitchen was behind. I understand that does happen, but they should have advised us of the delay. We were never asked if we wanted additional drinks and were not offered water refills until the end of our dinner/when the check was brought to us. T
