Norijapan

I LOVE the food at this place. HOWEVER I am giving one star because the OWNER takes ALL of the TIPS and the employees are left with NOTHING! How is this fair?

Food is very blan. Cross contamination between Chicken and Beef. Customer service is not so pleasent. You feel your waiting in a soup kitchen line. The overall is as equivalent to a hometown buffet.

I am not a fan of mall food– I try to avoid eating at the mall if I can help it. For some reason, we were at the mall and my husband was starving, so we somehow came to the conclusion that we should eat something from Nori Japan.
I suppose if you have to eat anything at the mall, this place would be an acceptable solution. We stuck with teriyaki chicken and rice-​which was served immediately after we ordered… I was suspicious.
The food was ok, not overly salty like Panda Express. The chicken tasted like chicken and the rice was steamed and not too mushy or sticky. I was also very happy to see a handful of veggies in the dish too, not drenched in sauce.
This is probably one of the healthier places to eat at the mall and its not a bad option.

Portion is great and food is really good!

I don’t know where the previous reviewer ate, but this place is awesome. I asked around to all of the other Asian food places and they all put sugar in their food, in the rice. I’m not talking about the terriaki sauce. They just add sugar to the food. This one, however, does not. I always get the terriyaki chicken. The portions are good and so is the price. If you are a panda express type person try this, the food is fresher, less salt, less sugar.

I sort of disagree with the previous reviewer; I didn’t think Nori Japan was really bad. It certainly wasn’t the best food I’ve ever eaten, but it wasn’t bad. I would never, ever get sushi from a mall food court — that’s just asking for trouble; maybe that was her mistake. But teriyaki, sure. This place is nearly identical to Sarku Japan, which I’ve had many times in California malls. Maybe the lack of Japanese cooks is what made it different, I’m not sure. My chicken teriyaki didn’t have a ton of flavor, and they left many of the chicken pieces too large to eat without a knife. That means that some of those pieces weren’t cooked all the way through. Decent prices, but there are a bazillion teriyaki joints in the Portland metro area that there really is no reason to go to Nori — unless you just can’t stomach another taco from Taco Time or tepid pizza from Sbarro. 2 ½ stars for this place is the best I can do.

Really, really bad. Cheap ingredients and bad customer service. Their menu shows a beautiful California Roll, but they do not serve this type of sushi, they’ll give you something else. When I asked about the discrepancy, the guy said «My boss is too CHEAP to serve real California Rolls.» Yuck.
