Dropped in to Nori for a Friday night dinner at the bar. It’s just north of the Drag at 33rd & Guadalupe, in the former Five Guys spot. I think I’ve been to every restaurant on the Drag and I’ve been meaning to get around to this place. I believe it’s only open dinner hours, and has been there almost a year.
Only sushi place I know of that exclusively serves vegan rolls and noodle dishes. Some maki & nigiri have marinated vegetables that substitute for fish, called no-tuna, no-salmon.
I love sushi and fish in general so I wasn’t necessarily lured by the concept but open to trying it.
Didn’t want to rack up a big bill (so I thought), so the only roll I ordered was an appetizer spicy ponzu spring roll.
Also, got miso soup, the yakisoba noodles (very filling, two could split), an off-menu key lime cheesecake and an $8 house sake.
Still totaled $62 + T/T, so $80 out the door for everything pictured.
Bartender said they are grateful to be in business considering the difficulties for niche restaurants like this. They also recommend coming for happy hour, Tue-Thur to try rolls and drinks at discounted prices. Looking across the bar the rolls and ramen seemed popular with the crowd, the crew seemed to be running a smooth dinner service.

Overall I liked it. It is pricey though.
I love that place so much. I never cared about sushi before that place. I’ve tried all of their rolls and a number of their other dishes. I have loved everything they have made me to eat. Even my partner who loves the more traditional fish sushi has like everything there we’ve had
