" This place is a gem! I stumbled upon KazuNori while looking for a quick lunch and was blown away by the taste of the hand rolls. The fish was incredibly fresh and the nori was crispy, which made for a delightful experience. I ordered the toro and the scallop rolls, both were divine! The service was friendly, and I appreciated the no-tipping policy, which just made the experience more seamless. I highly recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" Hands down, the best place I have tried for hand rolls! The tuna and scallop were particularly exceptional; I'm still dreaming about them. It’s a cozy space, ideal for grabbing a quick meal. I adore that there are no tips required, just pay and enjoy! The only downside is that it gets crowded quickly, but the high-quality sushi is worth the wait! I'll definitely be returning soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for KazuNori given its reputation, but I left feeling slightly disappointed. The rolls were tasty, don't get me wrong, but I felt that my specific order had quite a bit of rice compared to the amount of fish. I also wished for a more diverse menu – some of the rolls felt similar in taste. Service was quick and the staff friendly, which was a plus. Overall, it's decent, but maybe not the best. " (*Curated Review*)

" KazuNori lives up to the hype! The freshness of the fish is something I haven't found in many places, and the rolls are perfectly made. I had a salmon roll and a lobster roll, both of which I would recommend. The wait time was not too long for a Friday evening and I was treated to fantastic service throughout my meal. It's a little cramped, but the quality of food makes it worth it. Definitely planning to return with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is the best sushi place I have been to! The rice was warm, the seafood fresh and perfectly seasoned. I especially enjoyed the unique flavors of the hand rolls. The service was fast and friendly. It can get really busy, so expect to wait during peak times, but if you're patient, it’s so worth it! The atmosphere is cozy and lively, making it a great spot for a quick bite anytime. I'm already planning my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" KazuNori has been my go-to for hand rolls, and it never disappoints. The quality of the fish is always fresh, and the combinations are delightful. The no-tipping policy gives it a unique touch that's refreshing. Although it can get crowded, the service is quick and efficient. I have introduced many friends to this spot, and they all agree it’s fantastic. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" I really wanted to love KazuNori, but my experience fell short. The rolls were fine, but I had better sushi before elsewhere. The flavor didn't quite pop for me, and I expected more from their reputation. The service was smooth, so that was a plus. The vibe was fun, but I felt the portions were just slightly small for the price. It has potential, but I might try elsewhere next time. " (*Curated Review*)
