Hello Nori

What is Hello Nori? Perched at 650 King St W in the vibrant Wellington Place, Hello Nori is a sleek hand roll bar that's brought its Vancouver concept to Toronto's discerning sushi crowd. Stepping inside reveals a minimalist design featuring natural wood, stone, and water elements, all centered around an immersive 36-seat circular bar where chefs craft each hand roll before your eyes. The interior's swirling wooden ceiling is a subtle nod to King West's heritage as the city's fashion and textile district.

Hello Nori Menu & What to Order The menu here is focused, highlighting exceptionally fresh, Ocean Wise-certified seafood served in warm, crisp nori. The Truffle Lobster Hand Roll is a must-order, delivering buttery lobster with a delicate truffle hint, a consistent crowd-favourite. Don't skip the Salmon Oshi Sushi, torched with Japanese oak charcoal for a smoky, rich finish, or the Bluefin Tuna Hand Roll for its premium, melt-in-your-mouth quality. Pair your meal with a unique Hello Sake, a local Izumi Brewery collaboration, or the refreshing Nitro Matcha Brew.
