NORI Sushi&Thai in Bee Ridge - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Food was good. Making It one of my favorites.

While is started a bit rocky with a couple eating sushi while taking a telephone call on their speaker phone while us trying to enjoy the vibe had to ask them to shut it down but once we did it all fell into place. We started with some cold sake and ordered everything was delish and while it was our first time here I’m certain this will become our go to spot. The sashimi was a good portion not paper thin and everything was on par for fresh crisp taste 👍🏻🍣🍱

We loved the different types of rolls with cooked meat. Fresh and delicious. The kids love it—friendly stuff that are kind to children.

Best place to try my first sushi! Highly recommend the spider sushi rolls! Will come again!!

Unfortunately, I had to give one star to write this review. This restaurant doesn't deserve any stars. I took my Mom out to lunch to get sushi because we absolutely love sushi. This was the worst experience I have ever had. The quality of the sushi was beyond disappointing. The fish was definitely not fresh. I literally almost got sick right at the table after eating my first bite of a spicy tuna roll. After explaining how terrible the sushi tasted, the waitress argued with me that it was fine. I told her that the rolls we ordered did not taste fresh and left a sick feeling in my stomach and that I was ready for the check. She never tried to make anything right. And to make things worse she charged me for the rolls we were afraid to eat because we thought we would get sick. I didn't mind paying for our drinks and the rolls we did eat, but to pay for food that made us feel sick after having one bite and leaving everything untouched because we started feeling sick immediately, was by far the worst customer service I have ever experienced in all of my years. I have worked in hospitality and I would never have handled this situation the way our waitress handled it, nor would any manager I have ever worked with. Our check was $61.90 and we left with an empty stomach, along with feeling sick from the pieces of sushi that we did eat. There are lots of sushi places and I am leaving this review so others choose a different place and experience than the one my Mom and I just had.

We absolutely LOVE Nori!! Thank you, Nori family, for always taking care of us!

Best Sushi in Sarasota. We come here consistently and have never been disappointed. Not only is the food amazing but we have always had great service as well.

Now I get why this place was so busy on a Tuesday night. 😍 We ordered both from the sushi menu and the Thai menu and both were very yummy! I especially loved the volcano roll and the shrimp summer rolls. The peanut dressing that came with them was very flavorful and delicious. Will definitely be back 👌🏼

Sushi was great. Panang was mediocre.

The culinary experience was truly exceptional! The sushi, crafted with precision, showcased unparalleled freshness. Nestled in a cozy, intimate setting, this small gem offers a personalized touch – the staff not only remembers your name and face after just two visits but also anticipates and fulfills your preferences flawlessly. Simply amazing.

Good sushi in a cozy environment.

5/5 crab rangoons 5/5 basic avocado roll 1/5 massaman curry- this was actually hard to eat and would have been tossed if I had another dish to eat for dinner. The sauce was thin and watery, the flavors were not cohesive or balanced at all. I’m very surprised because curries are usually boring at worst but this was unusual and tasted like a bunch of ingredients thrown together at my order. Makes me wonder if they ran out and rushed something together kind of situation. I’ll still give them a 2nd chance and see if this was a one off but disappointing first experience.

Best sushi in town without a doubt !

Wonderful atmosphere with kind and attentive service. Excellent portion size and great depth of flavor. The Thai Iced Tea is out of this world too! Wonderful place to go for dinner! The lunch specials are affordable and high quality. Lots of vegetarian options.

Really good krab Rangoon and loved the drunken noodles. Thai tea was delish and would recommend. Service was fast. The air conditioning seemed like it was set at 78, just a little warm in there.

Disappointing. Tiny portions. Thai Red Curry lunch special had about 4 or 5 very small strips of beef, and a handful of chopped vegetables. For the price you should be getting an entire white pail of rice and an entire pail of curry, not a few bites wrapped in aluminum foil.

I recently had a takeout experience at Nori Japanese and Thai on Clark Rd in Sarasota, and I must say it left me with mixed feelings. While there were certain aspects of the meal that I enjoyed, there were also elements that left me disappointed. Upon receiving my order, the first thing that caught my attention was the sushi. Unfortunately, the initial impression was not a positive one. The fish used for the sushi did not look or smell fresh; all three types of fish had a slimy texture that immediately raised concerns about their quality. Despite the short time it took for me to get from the restaurant to my eating location, the condition of the fish was off-putting and gave me reservations about its freshness. On a more positive note, the Bento Box that I ordered did offer some variety, and there were components of the meal that I found enjoyable. The California roll was a highlight, with its pleasing combination of flavors and textures. Additionally, the Chicken Teriyaki and rice were well-prepared and satisfying. These components of the meal were certainly redeeming factors that showcased the potential for quality dishes at Nori Japanese and Thai. The service and the ease of the takeout experience were also commendable. The staff was friendly and efficient, ensuring that my order was ready in a timely manner and that I encountered no issues during the process. However, it was the quality of the sushi that ultimately shaped my overall impression of the meal. The unappealing condition of the fish detracted from what could have been a more positive dining experience. As someone who values the freshness and quality of ingredients, the disappointment I felt in this aspect makes it unlikely that I will return to Nori Japanese and Thai specifically for sushi. In conclusion, my experience at Nori Japanese and Thai on Clark Rd in Sarasota left me with mixed feelings. While there were elements of the meal that I enjoyed, such as the Chicken Teriyaki, California roll, and rice, the condition of the fish used for the sushi was a significant drawback. The slimy texture and lack of freshness detracted from what could have been a more satisfying meal. The service and takeout process were positives, but the subpar quality of the sushi is likely to prevent me from returning for sushi in the future.

These are probably the skinniest sushi rolls I've ever eaten anywhere. I ordered two kinds of sushi rolls and neither one of them hardly had anything in them. The one with the shrimp I hardly tasted shrimp in it at all except the first two pieces. The other one had tuna in it and I barely tasted it and could barely see it in the sushi roll. The quality of the other food items in the sushi roll just tasted pretty mediocre. The only thing I have to say good about it was the service and waitresses.

We have mostly ordered take away for years from NORI. The food is always good and service is excellent. Highly recommend.

Дуже все смачно, швидко і організовано.

The food is always good, service as well. A tiny bit pricy, but as I said - the food is very good.

Went in for lunch Saturday ordered a spicy tuna roll that had hardly any tuna in it with too much rice around it. The roll tasted like cleaning chemicals. The shrimp fresh roll I ordered had hardly any shrimp in it and stuffed with not so fresh tasting veggies, when I told the waitress how the tuna roll tasted, she acted like I didn’t say anything and just gave me the bill. I have two starts bc the dumplings that I ordered were fine. I don’t know what happened to this place but I won’t be returning. They really are cheating their customers of quality

Know how you wonder about where to go for sushi? Just go to Nori, great sushi every time. My kids love the Thai.

Food was delicious and fresh, stuff was very friendly service was great!!! Highly recommend this sushi place!

Absolutely love this place. Delicious and fresh food every time. Great service.

Ive had Thai in both NY and in at least three counties all over Florida. Only two places out of probably 50 have stood out to me. This is one of them. My family and I got take out this evening because we still havent found decent Thai in the Sarasota area and had gotten bored quickly with our last one. Nori did not disappoint. We had six people eating and we all raved about how good it is. Even our three small children devoured their meals and they can be picky at times. The veggies are crisp, the meat is fresh and not chewy, etc like many restaurants are serving now. Is it really chicken? Lol I often wonder at some places but not this one! The portion sizes are great, the order was correct, the flavors are robust. I am excited to try more on their menu in the near future. Im so thankful to have a great Thai place not so far from me. Id been traveling two counties over to get highly quality Thai food or eating subpar nearby whenever I wanted it. No more! This is close and we will be regulars now. A+

Very good spot for great Sushi and Thai. I eat lunch here at least one a week.

Delicious Sushi, servers were fantastic! Highly recommend if you are in the Sarasota Fl area.

The food, presentation, and service were all amazing!!! We had the Crab Rangoon to start which had a great filling ratio and the Rangoon was fried to crunchy perfection! We followed that up with the Volcano, J.B Tempura, and Cheesy Shrimp rolls- we loved them all and couldn't choose our favorite!! We will be back and definitely recommend Nori!

Cute little place. Excellent food. Our waitress was sweet and gorgeous. The value for the lunch special is excellent. I will definitely go back and recommend to friends. Ordered Tofu Pad Thai, which came with Miso soup and an egg roll. The dipping sauce for the egg roll was delicious.

Staff are friendly, service is great, food is incredible! A lot like Drunken Poet in downtown SRQ. What more can one ask for?!

Great sushi, tempura, and noodles. Really kind, friendly staff. Reasonable prices. Met a friend for lunch, we really enjoyed it.

wonderful place. a very delicious japanese cuisine, fast, clean, fresh and cozy. and absolutely affordable. i would recommend the LUNCH menu that has everything U need with only $15 in price

best japanese business lunch in sarasota

Phenomenal food. Everything here is terrific quality. My personal favorite is the Orange Blossom roll.

Favorite sushi place in Sarasota.

One of the best places in Sarasota. Great sushi and Pad Thai. Great service. Highly recommended.

Some of the best sushi and Asian food around!

Always great food and kind service. We have over 20 meals here and each time been impressed with the quality and portion size. A great go to place for a casual, enjoyable meal or takeout.

A friend's favorite that I finally got to. Good call. An intimate location that is, thankfully, not scary bright like too many other restaurants. I think it makes for a more relaxing time. The service is quick & friendly. The menu is well laid out. And the food is tasty, well presented & exactly as ordered. What more can you ask for? I will most assuredly be back.
