Hello Nori, Canada’s top Japanese hand roll bar, famous for delicious hand rolls and fresh sushi, recently opened a new location in the Financial District and plans to open another site by the end of the year.
The company opened its sixth location in the Financial District at 70 York Street on March 13, just 5 months after debuting its first flagship on King West. In keeping with the Hello Nori tradition, the new space features the restaurant’s signature wood ceiling design and pays homage to the Vancouver flagship location on Robson Street. The modern, warm ambiance is complemented by pillars inspired by Vancouver’s architectural elegance, which blend perfectly with the style of Toronto’s Financial District. This is just the beginning for the company, as a representative from the company tells What Now Toronto that they are opening a third Toronto location in the Yorkville neighborhood near the end of the year and are also working on a few West Coast locations.
Hello Nori is a unique Japanese dining experience with fresh fish and the finest ingredients. Whether looking for a quick lunch or a cozy meal, customers can expect an exceptional hand-roll experience and an intimate atmosphere. The restaurant uses the traditional Japanese cuisine style of Temaki, which is based on its time-honored traditions of serving only the highest quality fresh seasonal seafood. The restaurant’s sushi chefs redefine the hand roll dining experience by making it a memorable occasion each and every time with Neta (ingredients) that changes according to the season and sustainable sourcing of local suppliers.
“Our progressive approach to creating delicious hand rolls comes from a desire to elevate, create, and inspire modern takes on traditional Japanese cuisine,” according to the company’s website. “We carefully selected a modest menu that focuses on using only the best Neta (ingredients) from in and around Vancouver, supplemented by select imported products. We are proud partners with Ocean Wise, which certifies the sourcing and quality of our Ora King Salmon, Toro, Scallops, and Shrimp. We bring that love for details to each of our delicious offerings.”
