Sushi lovers in the cities of Los Angeles and New York are you in for a treat! KazuNori is one of the hottest and most delicious new sushi chains. Before the pandemic there were only 3 locations in LA, and now in 2022 you have a choice of 6 locations from West to Mid LA, and two locations in New York City.
What makes KazuNori so great?
The restaurant is strictly a handroll bar. When you arrive you’ll pick between 3 and 6 hand roll combinations. Choices from toro, yellowtail, salmon, crab meat, several options are available to you.
How is it unique?
Instead of being seated at a regular table, you and your party will join the bar along and you only stay as long as you eat. Once you’re done, they can move the next party in. This Round Robin set up keeps the traffic quickly flowing so that even if the sushi bar is busy, you won’t be waiting too long. On that note, this truly is a dine-in spot rather than to-go. During the pandemic when restaurants were given the go-ahead to reopen, KazuNori locations resumed back to normal.
Foodie Goodie
The sushi rolls are made fresh and warm. A light sauce is trickled on the rice and fish tastes fresh from the sea. Each combo has set options, however, additional options are available as well. Sapporo, sake, green tea, and sodas also available upon request.
How’s the service?
The staff is always kind and the restaurants are kept clean. There are never an issues when I visit. Bathrooms are even stocked with scented soap for after eating sushi and unscented soap for washing hands before your meal.
Health
Sushi is rich in Omega3 fish oils, therefore it reduces high cholesterol levels, the risk of heart disease and overall inflammation, as well as lowering blood pressure, triglycerides and maintaining heart rhythm.
