Reviews for KazuNori: The Original Hand Roll Bar in Santa Monica, CA

KazuNori makes you feel clean and refreshed. It looks so simplistic yet tastes so intricate. That?s what I love about good... sushi, and KazuNori and Nozawa?s original restaurant, Sugarfish, deliver this in a delightful experience. It?s obviously muchbetter to order at the restaurant, as they pride themself on freshness. That said, they present their Norimaki in a special boxwhen you order to-go. I ordered the 16 piece with NZ Sea Bream. The Sea Bream itself was so delicate and fresh. I?ve lived inNew Zealand for years and this comes close to the fresh caught Sea Bream I?ve had. The rest of the sushi, while generic, tastedtop tier compared to other sushi spots. The salmon sashimi was also fire! If you are a sushi connoisseur, then you must go hereor Sugarfish. It?s not cheap, but the quality is 100% worth it. Read more

Had a quick and easy lunch here. Made the mistake of ordering the 6 roll combo without looking at the specials, so ended up... with the combo and both specials. Highlights of the combo were the toro, scallop, and yellowtail. I think the lobster and crabhad hints of Mayo, but I could be wrong. I really enjoyed the uni handroll special. The uni was rich, creamy, and sweet. Itwas the perfect counterpart to the expertly seasoned and cooked rice and roasted nori. Definitely worth a visit! Read more

Was thinking some snacks before bedtime and then "bang" I was more awake as it's soooooo good that I wanted more. I did take out... and this place you need to wait for seat. I will try dine in next time and do hand rolls that is famous for and a bottle ofsake. Read more

Get their sake it's really good, service is a bit odd, very professional but they give the name of the rolls but don't speak... out, so you don't hear it and end up eating something delicious but not sure what it is ... Read more

The hand rolls here are awesome. It can be a bit of a wait to get seated but it's worth the wait. Staff is super friendly and it... has a cool communal vibe. Everything is super fresh tasting too. I'd 100% go back Read more

Value for price definitely. Quality is of rolls are good and it gives an asian vibe by the chefs doing the rolls in front of you... and serving it to you. Their take out is also pretty decent as you can see in the picture Read more

This was my first visit and I really enjoyed the simplicity of the handroll idea. You get delicious almost crunchy nori wrapped... around still warm perfect rice with a great sushi. put on a bit of wasabi and a light drip of soy to get a wonderful tastethat's different from normal rolls I usually have elsewhere.

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 rollswere simple and tasted great. The house saki was good as well. We?ll be back! Read more
