Kazunori: The Original Hand Roll

My last visit to KazuNori was back in 2019, and I'm so happy to be back to find that the food is still as good as I last remembered it.AMBIANCEAs for this hand roll bar, it's still on a first come, first service basis. I waited around 10 minutes for a table on a weeknight at 5:30pm, however after 6pm it got super busy with the line extending outside the street. There is a long bar, with some hooks underneath to hang your personal belongings.FOODThey have some specials, which I did get to try the sea bass hamachi $9) that was very refreshing. I also got the Nozawa's 6 Hand Roll order $35) where some of the standouts I loved were the lobster and eel. Everything is so fresh, the rice is warm and the fish just melts in your mouth.SERVICEService was efficient and waiters were friendly. It's also a no tipping restaurant gratuity is already included in the prices.Definitely recommend coming in for the dine in experience!

The price is unbeatable for good quality hand rolls. Do I think it's worth the hype not really. It's good don't get me wrong it's just not something to do a crazy line for. The toro and yellow tail is my favorite. The service is impeccable and the ambiance is fun and unique.

Best hand rolls in the city!! I came alone on a Saturday afternoon, the line was out the door but I went directly to the front and they seated me right away since I was by myself and sat me at the bar. I got the six piece for $34 which is not bad for nyc and sushi prices. The rolls were so good, the rice was still warm too everything blended so perfectly.The service was amazing too, servers were super nice. Definitely recommend this place, this was an awesome eat alone place in nyc!

No Apple Pay!!Genuinely some of my favorite sushi in the city! They are a restaurant focused on amazing food, there is sometimes a long line but it goes super fast! Service is great! Just keep in mind that this restaurant is not a place that you sit down for hours. My usual 4-5 hand roll meal will take 30-45 minutes. Be respectful of the staff and chefs! They are so sweet and are really doing their best to serve everyone top notch sushi!

Solid hand rolls and affordable NYC spot! Got six rolls and they came out with crispy seaweed and quality fish. We waited about 45 minutes on a Friday night and it was really busy. They have super long tables and the whole atmosphere is cute and enjoyable. Will definitely come back!
