Noriko is the best handroll restaurant in probably the country. Nothing comes close to the quality and flavor of their pieces.
Obsessed with their unique options, the lychee martini is so well balanced and delicious, great sake options ( I recommend the flight), the ambiance is elevated, and the service is top tier.
This was hard to choose, but here are my top five menu items:
Hotate Crudo (think about an elevated experience of agua chile)
Nori Chips & Dip (the creamiest and most flavorful edamame)
Bluefin Tuna Akami (still daydreaming about this handroll- mouth watering)
Bluefin Toro Caviar (yes, please)
A5 Wagyu Tataki (buttery- melts in your mouth- just wow)
