Noodles were a good texture - Edit
We had the Ramen Noodles 🍜 and Dragon Sushi 🍣 The wife loved the Sushi 🍣 😋 liked the Ramen a lot. On the drive back to the house, she noticed that she had to drink a lot of water and thought they may have used a lot of MSG. I didn't get that feeling, myself.
Read moreAnastasio suggested we try one type of the Sushi, but we had already thought we'd get the Dragon. Next time I will go with the waitress Suggestions.

Go Here Now! - Edit
An amazing experience with both amazing alc and non-alc cocktails in addition to the outstanding vegan Japanese food. We sat at the bar and received great recos and guidance from the mixologists. The hardest part was not ordering everything off the menu.

Amazing - Edit
First time at Nori. What a joy to have so many vegan/plant-based options. Everything was beautifully presented and tasted wonderful. They have a new zero proof cocktail selection. I enjoyed a hibiscus berry mule. Dessert finished us out with a fishy brownie with ice cream and strawberries. Can’t wait to come back.

Exquisite - Edit
This place is incredible! I had a cocktail, the nigiri sampler and a spider roll and it was all delicious. One little gripe is that the texture of the Just Egg in the tamago nigiri was off and kind of mealy. I’ll definitely go out of my way to come back here next time I’m in Austin.

Perfect for a date night - Edit
I went with my partner to celebrate our aniversary. During the night, Nori feels like an intimate and warm place. We had the Creamy Crunchy and the California. Food was great as well as the dessert and sake. I would say is a little bit expensive, but worth it.

Nice - Edit
I was so excited to find a vegan sushi restaurant in Austin. Nori has a plethora of options to satisfy everyone’s taste buds. We started with Chick’n Kaarage and it was my very good and full of flavor. The volcano sushi was good, but not my favorite. The Katsu Curry Dish was a bit too thick for me, but my husband loved it and he’s not a vegan. The Lion Mane Steak was a good and hearty dish; however, I didn’t care too much for the mashed potatoes, but the lion’s mane steak was my favorite! The steak was juicy, bursting with flavor and the texture was perfect! We had dinner here on a busy night, so I understand that there’s a possibility that things will not run smoothly, but the service here has room for improvement.

Delicious plant based sushi - Edit
Really enjoyed the sunflower roll. Spicy toona was tasty but not mind blowing. Thought the service was a bit u friendly but maybe that was just the timing I was there. Would def come back again.

✨ Absolutely Fantastic ✨ - Edit
Wow. This vegan restaurant really stood out to me! It's super rare to find really good vegan sushi in my area. The food was phenomenal! It had a semi fine dining flare which is also difficult to find. I was delighted that it had so many appealing offerings. We ordered the shiitake gyozas, volcano, texan, and spider. The volcano stood out and the gyozas were memorable. I enjoyed my meal so much that I didn't even think about taking photos. On top of all that our server, Forest, was the bomb and such a delight.

I had the Spicy Toona and Sunflower roll and it was a flavor explosion! Absolutely phenomenal dinner. Definitely come during happy hour for some reduced price rolls. But for a sushi place it’s pretty affordable.

Great taste and presentation - Edit
We got the dragon roll, the spicy tuna roll, the tuna nigiri, and the catsu chicken nigiri. Everything was delicious. The tuna nigiri was a tuna product I hadn't tried, so that was neat, although I probably wouldn't eat it regularly. The other ones were really good.

Best Sushi Experience - Edit
I am a big fan of sushi. And as a benefit, there is often a guarantee that if I pick a Japanese restaurant there will be a few "veggie roll" options to choose within the corner of the menu. Nori in Austin, TX says let us take that sidebar veggie paragraph and make an upscale dining experience of it. Nori is the best sushi experience I have ever had. From henceforth, all other Japanese restaurants will be held to Nori's high standard in my mind.
Read moreThis restaurant really is an experience. I have been to Michelin star restaurants that do not compare to Nori. The artistry Nori manifests in utilizing vegetables to mimic the look, taste, and mouthfeel of seafood is unmatched, and truly not even attempted anywhere else. They can take a tomato and make you swear you are eating salmon. This is the best Japanese restaurant I have ever visited.
I have no complaints or critiques. This restaurant was perfection. This is an amazing example of an upscale vegan restaurant. I would brag to any of my omnivore friends about this restaurant. This is the restaurant to bring your Japanese loving friends when you want to convince them that vegan food really is just as good (if not better) than an omnivore diet.
I think Austinites already know about this gem. But for an visitor to Austin, whether for vacation or for its many conventions, Nori is a necessity to adventure.
Pros: Entirely Vegan, Artistic Interpretations, Best Japanese Restaurant
