I def recommend getting the 3 Handroll set for a filling lunch, very worth it as you get 3 handrolls (1 premium), your choice of sashimi, and edamame. I got the Spicy Eggplant Onigiri, Negi Toro Handroll, and Blue Crab Handroll. My favorites were the handrolls....Read More

Pretty nice spot here! We enjoyed the salmon handrolls, and salmon nigiri. There is a parking lot, and some street parking. Cool interior with plenty of seating. There is also about 4 outdoor tables. Kid and dog friendly outside. Salmon was tasty, and everything...Read More

Rice & Nori is a great spot esp. for lunch. It’s like casual sushi but at poor people prices. Instead of spending $30 on a couple sushi rolls, I can spend $13 on three onigiri and be perfectly content with the world. Making it a...Read More

What an absolute shame that I haven't found this place sooner. Originally craving Chipotle, I instead went to The Habit. Upon passing by, I saw this store and peeked through the window to observe the menu from afar. I saw some plant-based options and swore...Read More

I'm of mixed opinions here. The restaurant was modern and clean. Went at 1700 on a Wednesday and there were only 2 other parties in front of me. I waited maybe 30 seconds in line. Ordered the beef onigiri, salmon onigiri, as well as the temaki combos. Overall,...Read More
