Kazunori: The Original Hand Roll

Great simple sushi, cool space, no nonsense. Stopped by late night on a Saturday for a bite. There was a queue but it moved quickly and the overall atmosphere was really chill. The fish was great and service was fast and pretty friendly. The hand rolls were simple and tasted great. The house saki was good as well. We’ll be back!

I recently visited this restaurant for the first time and was impressed by the simplicity of the handroll concept. The combination of crunchy nori, warm rice, and fresh sushi made for a delicious and unique taste. Adding a touch of wasabi and soy sauce enhanced the flavor, creating a distinct experience compared to traditional sushi rolls I have tried elsewhere.

Damn, this place slaps. I also love how the tip is included in the bill. Rest of the US needs to adopt this practice. Lobster roll is fire. Everything here is just superb. Loved the friendly and hospitable staff. They forgot to bring us our tea until we prompted them so they didn’t end up charging us and all the rolls were damn delicious.

I liked it. Great hand rolls that didn 't break the bank. Definitely a cut above the normal neighborhood sushi joint. The fish is chopped up so don 't expect the texture you would get with nigiri but excellent clean and fresh tasting rolls. The rolls are made to order and brought to you one at a time. Loved that touch. They also automatically add a 16% 'tip ' to your bill so no additional tip is needed. Toro roll was smooth and very fresh tasting. Not your normal smashed up left overs from the previous day. Lol. The nori (seaweed wrap) used had a flavor to it that was pleasant. The rice flavoring was subtle and didn 't over power the fish. The yellowtail roll was also nicely done with a good 1:1 fish to rice ratio. The fish was sweet tasting and not strong. There was chopped chives added to the roll but didn 't seem to add much to the taste if eaten with soy sauce. It was just noticeable if eaten plain. The salmon roll had some sesame seeds added that was a nice addition. The freshness of this was excellent as well. The scallop roll is made with scallop pieces, mayonnaise and some tobiko added on for texture. The mayonnaise was not my favorite and slightly overpowered the scallops natural sweetness when eaten plain. With soy sauce it was better. The crab roll was made with real blue crab with the same mayonnaise the the scallop roll used. This time it melded quite well together and tempered the fishiness of the crab. The second to the last roll I tried was the lobster roll. It was good with lobster and mayonnaise mixed. Similar to the crab with a mix of claw and tail meat. The LAST roll was the eel roll. Lol. I was pretty stuffed by this time but I took one for the team for this review.....it was good but the flavored rice did not complement the eel. The sauce added to the roll was spot on and didn 't drown the eel like some places do. Overall a great place but I would personally stick with the fish choices rather than the shellfish.

I absolutely adored it. The sushi was some of the most delicious I've had in a while.
