To all of my loyal Sugar Fish fans, you must try their new hand roll bar in downtown LA. It’s called KazuNori | The Original Hand Roll Bar. This hot spot is a hand roll lover’s dream and is served authentic Japanese style. The small countertop restaurant seats around 20 people. We went late on a Tuesday night (around 10pm) and had no problem finding a seat. You’re given an order form and small pencil to choose from the pre-made hand roll menu which comes in options of 3-5 or you can order à la carte. Each option comes with their daily special and two other specialty rolls (i.e. scallop, yellowtail, tuna, lobster etc.) The preset combination is a bit cheaper than ordering à la carte and is similar to the style of the Sugar Fish menu. KazuNori serves it exactly the same too! You can see the chef preparing your hand rolls fresh in front of you and they serve them one at a time. The best part, the taste…cold fresh fish on warm rice with a crunchy nori (seaweed) wrapper. My mouth waters just writing this post!
In addition, they serve hand cut rolls and have to-go options!
