| - As I sit at Nori sushi on a Saturday night, people watching and taking myself out on a date... I figured I'd write my review.
Let me start off by saying that damn I'm one good date! I mean, I picked Nori sushi... And their sushi is pretty bomb! This date went so well, I think there's gonna be a second one. Haha.
So I walked in, and was greeted by a super awesome waiter. It wasn't too busy and was told I'd be helped quickly... Well, I wasn't in a rush but cool. I walked inside and immediately another gentleman (who I found out later was actually the GM -- his name is Kevin) came over and was extremely friendly and hospitable and asked me about my night. Very genuine and kind. I asked if I could sit outside and he told me that I could even pick me own table... Yay! (My date with myself started off well).
Kevin then brought over a menu and asked me if I wanted something to drink. Not knowing what amazing drinks they had on their menu, I asked for a water. Kevin was hesitant to walk away and asked what kind of drink I'd like... So I gave him my usual response, "surprise me". He asked what my poison of choice was (tonight I decided on vodka), and he told me he'd have a drink for me. He brought me out a fancy shmansy martini (see pic I posted), and told me it was the "Praying Mantis" although he modified it to make it with vodka rather than gin. On a hot summer night in Phoenix, you GOTTA have a refreshing drink -- and Praying Mantis hit the spot! It was made with cucumber vodka (super refreshing), and some other yumminess; not to sweet either. (Order it! You won't be sorry.)
I couldn't decide on what kind of sushi I wanted so of course I asked Kevin what he recommended -- he said the Hamachi Fire roll. Done and done!
**Side note: I also checked into Nori off Yelp and got a free edamame. Woohoo!!!**
While I waited for my sushi, I munched on steaming hot and fresh edamame and sipped on my fancy martini.
Then my sushi roll came out... And wow! It was an explosion of flavors bite after bite! The sushi was so tender it melted in my mouth; and each piece had the perfect kick to it... Enough to add spice, but not to overpower the other flavors of the roll. So so good!
As I was sitting by myself, Kevin came over and chit-chatted with me. I gotta say, it's nice to have management come and just say hello and get to know their customers just because -- not just when there's a complaint. It was so awesome to have Kevin come over and chat; it's nice to see that there still are genuine, humble people in the world nowadays. Thanks, Kevin, you made my night that much better!
Overall, I really enjoyed Nori -- the customer service is above and beyond what I've experienced at other places around the valley, and the food is incredible! I will definitely be back again... And soon!
