    We loved our dinner! Everything was excellent. Highly recommend: the crispy rice cakes, beef filet, tropical salmon, and the yuzu sake. My husband said his spicy tuna temaki was the best he's ever eaten and the lobster temaki was equally delicious. High points for service and in general, a team of warm, friendly people.

    The GM (Ray?), hostess, and servers were super nice! They checked up on us but just enough times to let us enjoy the food and restaurant. I would say our favorite was the beef fillet, grilled baby corn, furikake fries, & pop rockin blue crab hand roll. You also can’t go wrong with salmon, yellowtail, or strawberry unagi hand roll. Lastly I enjoyed their House Sake. Enjoy!

    This restaurant is amazing. The food, service, value and ambiance was top notch. I actually said “mmmmmm” after every bite. I haven’t done that in a long time. We will be back soon.

    Dining experience was fantastic. Had valet parking, which is not all that common in Ktown. The restaurant is beautifully designed, very cool and edgy. The staff is very friendly and courteous, and very informed on the food, recommending delicious food choices. The manager Ray is great, he was very helpful in also advising us of food choices. Enjoyed our night there; will definitely return soon.

    Norikaya is a new restaurant located in Koreatown. It’s a twist on your traditional handroll restaurant. The restaurant is bar seating and has a really chic and quiet interior design. We were warmly greeted by Ashley and taken to our seats. The manager Ray also came by a couple times to ask us about our dining experience and make sure that all the food was good. My favorite bites were probably the scallops (both in handroll and as a separate dish), the seam lobster, and the strawberry unagi. Will definitely come back for another visit. FYI, if you come on a lucky night, you might encounter a visiting celebrity.

    I recently visited this restaurant to celebrate my anniversary. The experience was well worth it. We ordered about 10 items off the menu and were extremely satisfied. The tropical salmon was by far my favorite dish we had. Highly recommend this place. The prices are amazing for the service and food.
