"We believe that the experience of eating hand rolls is truly something special and worthy of its own restaurant, so we created KazuNori -- The Original Hand Roll Bar.(r) At KazuNori, our commitment to quality is unwavering, just as it is at SUGARFISH. We serve only the freshest fish, along with specially harvested seaweed, housemade sauces, and our signature warm rice. KazuNori is the first restaurant of its kind, and we think that eating one of our just-made hand rolls, with its crispy nori, warm rice, and delectable ingredients, will redefine what you think about sushi."

β€œI ordered the $36 set menu + Sapporo (ordered some sake for some friends) I arrived around 8 pm and got sat immediately. They were very attentive and I enjoyed the pace of when the next hand roll was being served. The set menu is a great idea if you want to explore. The lobster and crab were my fave so I ended up ordering extra of that + salmon sashimi afterwards. This place is located inside The Hugh food hall. I had a hard time finding it but once I looped around I found the entrance to the hall by the subway stairs. Forgive me, I'm new to the city. Haha. Overall I had a great experience.”

β€œThis is my 2nd time here, I love these hand rolls. They were so delicious. I choosing 6 hand roll set. They were including with Toro / Yellowtail/ Salmon/ Bay Scallops(my favorite)/Crab/ Lobster. They were so good and fresh. I was so full by the 4th one already but still excited for the rest 2. They take no reservation but people don't spend too long there so the wait wasn't that too bad. Staff is good service and food are running fast ! Good timing. I would come back for sure.”

β€œThis was my first time at this location while visiting New York City, and it came highly recommended by a few friends. It's run by the same owners as Sugarfish, for anyone familiar with that spot in LA or here in NYC. The menu is simple and easy to follow, with lots of hand roll options. I went with the six-roll combination to try a variety of flavors, and it did not disappoint for $36. They also offer three, four, and five-roll sets. Beer and sake are available too. The wait was about 20 to 30 minutes when we arrived around 8 PM, with roughly 15 people ahead of us. It's first come, first served, so expect a short wait, especially if you have a larger group. We had five people and got lucky, but smaller groups will likely be seated faster. The seating area is small, fitting around 20 people total, so ordering to-go is a good alternative. The restaurant is inside an indoor food hall on the first floor of a building. It's cozy and compact, but clean and welcoming. Staff were friendly, and I'd definitely come back next time I'm in New York.”
