This is my second time dining at this fabulous midtown omakase spot. The 19 course counter menu is my go-to and everything is delicious. You start with about 6 appetizers, followed by nigiri, a few hand rolls, soup and dessert. Every dish was creative and so flavorful. A few of the appetizers and the nigiri were my favorite, but none of the courses were just "meh" to me which can be rare even at a good omakase spot. The sushi chefs are friendly, explain every dish and would love to chat sushi if you have any questions (or just want to chat generally). Service was great as well. I will be back again soon!

Known for Chicago’s Michelin-starred omakase Mako, neighborhood sushi temple Juno and the multi-concept hand roll and omakase restaurant Tamu, Chef BK Park now brings his expertise and passion to Shaver Hall’s Norihana in the heart of Midtown, NYC. Combining nori (のり) which means seaweed and hana (はな) which means flower, Norihana is a concept driven by the idea of hand rolls as carefully crafted bouquets presented to guests. Imagined as a counter service hand roll bar, guest are welcome to stop by for a quick bite or settle in for a longer dining experience with beer, cocktails and wine.
