Reviews
The food presentation and taste was good. Recommend separating the vinaigrette from the squid salad as it tend to concentrate at the bottom. Their other salad had this thick paste that tasted good.
Staff was helpful. The ambience has good vibe. The facade, however, requires some work.

This is by far my fave sushi spot in Huntsville - I always order the Hawaiian roll & the mango roll.
Fun Japanese restaurant. Inventive desserts. The sushi is pretty standard fare to please some palates, and full of things like crab and fried bits.
I LOVE this place!! My wife's favorite fried rice in town and I can't get enough of their ginger dressing. The sushi is a must as well.
There are plenty of options on the menu to choose. I opted to try a poke bowl. I tried one with multiple types of protein. Overall, the flavor was pretty good. The sushi looked good too, so I will have to try that another time.
The food was great like every time we go. Lets start of with the good things food is great bathrooms are super clean and people are nice but one. He has said multiple racist comments to the other people working and has said un appropriate stuff to my family that was a while back ago before I got into leaving reviews. Every time my family goes we hope we don’t get this guy he is that bad.
Exploring for good Japanese or Asian food and came across this place in Huntsville! I ordered a Nabeyaki Udon soup and my friend got shrimp bento box. The flavor was good overall. The service was exceptional and the bathrooms are very clean and spacious. (Not sure why this means a lot to me but considering most Asian places even Mexican bathrooms in this area needed more up-keeping I guess)
If you ORDER ONLINE, they do not cook your food UNTIL YOU GET THERE. So, they rush. I ordered Mongolian Beef w/fried rice. Not only did the give me a half onion, it wasn't even half way cooked. The beef should have been strips of flank steak. Instead, I got cubes of beef. It didn't taste like Mongolian beef, just beef in onions. Food was hot but it's not what I ordered.
Service is always too notch foods always fresh best Chinese food in town
Great experience here, food was great, service was great. We will come back for more.
Went with family for Hibachi. 5 others sitting at table. We were treated like an after thought. We were the last served and given the least. I will not be back. The cook never made eye contact the whole time and totally ignored us. I wonder why we were treated that way. Would not go again.
The atmosphere isn't bad. There is plenty of seating for big parties. The service was ok. It wasn't bad, I just think they should have been more patient with us asking about items on the menu. We came from out of town and weren't familiar with the menu. I got sushi and chicken tempura. The sushi was ok. I asked for white sauce and eel sauce. The white said had a flavor that I'm not familiar with. The eel sauce tastes like soy sauce.
This is a very nice restaurant with a lot of options on the menu. The chicken lettuce wraps were delicious. I had the chicken with garlic sauce which had a wonderful flavor but at the upper level of my heat tolerance. My friend had the basil chicken which he said was very good. Prices were reasonable and they give you a large portion.
No dining room. Personally, I didn't like it. My sister and her sister-in-law said it was fine. Might've been better if we could eat it fresh there!!
I had a remarkable experience here. My party had an amazing server, the food came out quick and everything was delicious!
We used to love coming here, but our last 2 visits have been pretty bad. The meat has been very undercooked, to include pink chicken. During this recent visit, no one came to refill our drinks until someone at the table asked. We waited about 20 minutes just for someone to collect our payment. Sadly, this place has really gone down hill lately.
My family and I ate dinner at this restaurant for the first time last night to celebrate my niece 's birthday. The food, service and atmosphere we're great! The chefs we're fantastic! I applaud the job they do. The meat, veggies ard rice all had the same flavor. I loved it but would have liked some pineapples or something to give chicken a different taste. The salad was great and the soup wasn't bad either. The large portions were great and I was stuffed when I left.🙂 The prices were reasonable and the chef's tip is added into the ticket so there's no need to leave a tip on the table. Yes, I would recommend this restaurant for any smaller large group and the kids would love it too!
Good Asian restaurant! I tried Korean Seafood noodle soup! And Tea was great as well. We enjoyed our dinner :)
This place is excellent all the way around. The atmosphere is very relaxing, the service is great, and the food is delicious.
My favorite is the Thai Basil Chicken. It’s very tasty. If you don’t like spicy foods, ask them to hold the peppers.
Great place, great food!

10/10!! There are so many options on the menu! The Pink Lady Roll was light in flavor and honestly really cute. The Sparkling Sake is really good too! The staff was lovely. Would definitely come back!
I had ended up going there on July 15 around about 8:30 PM to the driveway was trying to place my order
the employee is the little short guy that always be up there mad all the time like if he don’t want to come to work he always be rude and ugly
But this time he cross the line with me as I was placing my order, he kept on interrupting me, and as I was trying to give him my order, he just close the window in my face and had the nerve to tell me that he don’t talk a lot, so I guess in other words, he was trying to tell me to shut up.
That will be my last time going there. I will not go back there again because that was totally disrespectful and I’m not gonna keep you in business like that. Not with my hard working money

Aki is by far the best Japanese restaurant in Huntsville, Alabama! The staff are amazing, the food is beyond delicious and comforting and the restaurant is welcoming, neat and clean! Today was our second time there and we are definitely going to be eating here more often!
Been going here for over ten years. Always love the food and the service. They will get you whatever you need and they will get it as fast as possible! The best clear soup and ginger salad I have had in Huntsville! Either get it to go or sit at a big table. Don’t know why this place doesn’t have more stars!
Food was good, and came out without a long wait. Nice staff. Had the king roll and beef negimaki
I love the veggies on fried rice with teriyaki sauce.
No frills, no flavor, not coming back. Food took a very long time to prepare in the back, and we were the first table there. The chef must have been new or just didn’t care. He was very unorganized, slinging rice around everywhere, left large chunks of undercooked eggs in the rice, and didn’t put on any show or have any real personality whatsoever. It’s not like they were slammed and trying to catch up…we were the first and only table there. Food had zero flavor, and i didn’t have a lot of confidence in the chicken being cooked and they forgot to even serve to me, I told them not to worry about going to the back for more.
Sauces were not very good. The yum yum was a thick mayo sauce, and everything else was watery and had almost no flavor, so there’s no point.
Will not be back to this establishment. Seems good hibachi is hard to come by in Huntsville.

Food was pretty good. Employees did a decent job making sure that we were all served. Good family outing
I love this place. Been here too many times to count. I don't understand why the negative reviews here are so negative, perhaps those people were just salty and having a bad day. These people at Nori are on point. And always hook it up hot and fresh.
The food was amazing. I ordered the teriyaki beef bento box, they got it out very fast with a lot of meat. In my opinion, best food in the mall.
The food was amazing, The service was really good,the people were very friendly ,My cook Sam was very interactive and talented,I will definitely be returning.
I ordered delivery. I was hungry so I ordered chicken, shrimp and steak fried rice. The only semi good thing was the steak. Shrimp tasted funny and so did the chicken. I couldn’t stomach it. I also ordered the strawberry smoothie and that was good! I’m just mad I wasted 29.06 on the main course. Now I have to find something good to eat instead.
Went there last night and order and shrimp and shrimp hibachi with no veggie . Called him n told him there was no sympathy at ALL!!! Got the reorder of the food and it still the same way!!! When I told him I was on my way he seem so rude and very unprofessional!!! This place should b shut dwn immediately with the lack of customer service!! His exact words “he doesn’t care bout his customers it just business “
PHENOMENAL food!! I got the build your Poke Bowl with three proteins and it was excellent. Everything our group had looked good and nobody had any complaints. The service could’ve been a little faster and half of the food came out before the rest but I’ll give them benefit of the doubt this time around.
This is the best Sushi in Huntsville.
My absolute favorite is the Hot Moma, fire dragon and shrimp tempura. 🍤
You can't beat the price of the food here. 50$ with drinks and more food than you can eat for two people. Also, the miso soup here is AMAZING 👏
The interior has been updated finally after all these years.

Grade a+ people and food. Owned by small family they do an amazing job to get you delicious quick accurate food. Good place with wholesome people.
Very nice place to eat. Not super pricy and you get loaded up with portions sizes. The guy at the window was very professional
I ordered chicken hibachi and only received small amounts of veggies and chicken, but an entire plate of rice. I removed the chicken and veggies to show the amount of rice given
It doesn't look like much but almost all their business is carry out and through the drive-thru. I like the food especially the combo fried rice and hot and sour soup.
I love the Chicken Teriyaki, but on my last two orders they gave me a plate of rice with very little chicken and vegetables. I was very disappointed. Will be looking for a new place to order from.
I called and ordered food. The guy took my order and said okay but neglected to mention it was only a drive through. I waited 10 minutes in a halted line before pulling out, parking, and trying to go inside only for the doors to be locked. The workers looked up and then quickly looked away, trying to not make eye contact. Unprofessional waste of time. You couldve just told me over the phone
The place was awesome. Had the aki buns and dumplings for app as well as miso soup and salad. Their ginger dressing was delicious. Their miso soup had little chunks of tofu in it as well as seaweed. It was great. We got beef ramen and tongotsu ramen. Once you have this type of ramen it will change you. It's so good
Wonderful Asian cuisine with a good mix and large menu. I had the spicy edamame, snow white sushi roll, miso soup, and the chef's special clay pot coconut red curry seafood. There is so much amazing seafood in this clay pot. It has mussels, lobster, shrimp, scallops, calamari, and plenty of vegetables and tofu. This is a LARGE portion, and I will have my leftovers for lunch the next couple of days! The atmosphere was more upscale than I expected and still very welcoming. My server, Abby, was truly delightful and it was a great dining experience. If you haven't tried Four Leaves Asian Restaurant, you need to! Delicious 😋
The food is delicious. I mostly get the spring rolls (#6 count) with "red sauce", soy sauce and they automatically gives me duck sauce. I add on the cold green tea and coca cola zero sugar as well and I've never been disappointed. For this ain't it rings up around $13+. The man that works here is so nice and the atmosphere is ok. I like the service they provide. Be I always come back for more because of how kind he is and I know what to expect. They haven't messed up an order yet. I definitely recommend. Although it does look like the place is shut down, even when going through the drive thru. But the inside is actually shut down.
First time here. Evelina provided great customer service. Kind and Very attentive. I ordered off their lunch specials menu. The steak teriyaki with the fried rice was delicious as well as the ginger salad and vegetable medley with broccoli. I also ordered the egg roll. It was ok but sauce was great. Bathroom was good. Recommend and will return.
Used to be my go to at the mall but today my shrimp is cold. They used to cook it after you order. Six small cold shrimp. Chicken is mostly warm. Yum yum sauce is watered down. Yuck
My son turned me on to the combination steak shrimp and chicken was eating twice a week. Great food and plenty. Don't take all day to cook it hot n fresh. Fried Rice combo with extra yum yum sauce WoW try it.
This location is way better than the one on University dr. It doesn’t have bugs like they do. The food is wonderful and you get so much! I got the Hibachi chicken and it cost me $11-12 dollars a plate. It’s so much food an sooo good! The service is excellent and I will be back
Have been here numerous times but todays meal was unanimously subpar for our party of four. Definitely different from previous (no vegetables on teriyaki lunch, no dimsum/ overseasoned rice/ watered down salad, with miniscule tempura shrimps on bento boxes, etc).
We don’t mind paying for good food but not poor quality like we all had today.
Will not recommend going back.

Sure, the place is not fine dining, but giving this establishment less than 5 stars is pathetic. Don't go to Nori Japan expecting Ramsey; in some ways, it is even better. The environment, the sheer amount of food, the yelling back and forth in order to understand each other over the noise of the mall. The terriyaki chicken is fantastic and the experience only compliments the dish. If you dislike Nori Japan, you are part of the problem and don't deserve happiness.
We are Sushi lovers!!! We went to eat on Saturday because this restaurant popped out on What’s Happening in Huntsville Facebook page. First impression of the place it looks like a diner or a fast food. When you come in the first thing you see is a pile of to go plates. The decoration and atmosphere it not Japanese at all. The lay out is awful, we were seated in the only table in the middle of all boosters. Service was terrible, the girl passed by us many times and didn’t asked if we were ready to order, she never came to ask if everything was ok or to ask if we wanted refills. Let’s talked about food! The Clear mushroom soup was delicious, so flavorful! Spring rolls spot on. The Egg rolls had good flavor but over fried. The “Spicy Maki Combo” was nothing spicy, the only spicy thing on the plate was the wasabi. In this plate the Salmon was our least favorite, no flavor, in the other hand the Tuna roll and Yellowtail roll were delicious. The Rainbow Roll is a rock star! Everything was excellent in this last plate. The Crazy Salmon roll was very flavorful. I didn’t get to taste the Tokyo Chicken Ramen but he loved it, the only thing left was some broth.
Very good overall! My husband got the tuna hibachi. The tuna was overcooked. Would probably choose a different meat next time. I had the American dream roll. We will go back, enjoyed everything else about the meal.
An awesome sushi experience that’s in a rarely visited area — you won’t know it exists unless you’re looking for it. Miyako has the largest variety of specialty rolls I’ve seen in the area and all of the rolls are mindfully crafted. The Lobster roll is THE best sushi roll I’ve had in Huntsville as of August 2022 and looking forward to many more visits!
first, fish its not worth it for the price... sashimi was always my fave. thick cut worth the price... the rolls is so so... the egg drop soup were delicious!! very busy specially during lunch time...
Beautiful place. Great food. Great service. I loved the Hibachi Scallops. With 14 of us from our Church friendship group, we had great food and drinks. I can't wait to come again.
The $12.95 sushi lunch combo was tasty. Friendly servers and quality sushi every time we have visited over the past two months. Do yourself a favor and stop here for lunch during the week. Definitely a hidden treasure in the Huntsville area.
This was not our first trip to 4 leaves, but the quality and atmosphere are not what they used to be. Another casualty of COVID. Our server Dwayne was okay. He didn't introduce himself and spoke very quietly. We were here for lunch. I had the steak habachi, my oldest had a chicken bento box, and the youngest has sweet and sour chicken (subbed lo mein). The ginger salad was one of the best I have ever had, my oldest liked the soup, and the youngest loved the lo mein. My steak was over cooked, and there was a hair on the sweet and sour chicken plate. The current food score is an 82.
I read the reviews before I went and I think it is just a cultural barrier, but I found just communicating my wants everything was okay. It was a different experience the food was not bad, If I was invited to an event there I would go, but just to dine in because I wanted to grab a bite to eat no, not my scene.💜💜
Easily one of the absolute BEST places to get Hibachi food in Huntsville. Always good, always fresh, and the cooks are always so friendly. The best part, if you share a drink; two people can eat here for less than 25 bucks!
The staff was great. Unfortunately, the food was subpar. The sauces were heavily diluted; the ginger dressing was mayo with a tiny hint of ginger. I could have lived with these if it weren't for the "yum yum" sauce, which apparently was also mayo. Everything off the grill tasted exactly the same, bland and boring.
I would like to give this place a chance because the staff were so pleasant. I just won't waste money here.

Delicious! Chicken and Shrimp Teriyaki with extra Teriyaki and a Lemonade. $11.**
We sat at the Hibachi Grill for dinner on a Friday night. My daughter and I had the Hibachi steak and chicken and my husband had sushi 🍣. The sushi presentation and taste was outstanding! The Hibachi experience was great.. no complaints at all. The chef was engaging, cooked everything very well and paid good attention to everyone's wishes. The waited was very attentive on filling out drinks and making sure we had everything we needed. It was really good! If I could say one thing I wish I could change is how salty the food is... but that's a personal preference thing! Great job and I'm sure we will be back!
Called the restaurant, asked to speak to a manager and wanted to tell them that sushi was made incorrectly and not as described or shown in pictures in the menu. The manager I spoke to kept saying “if you didn’t like the food you can request a refund through door dash”
I have reached out to door dash for a refund but what the manager didn’t understand was it wasn’t a matter of if we didn’t like the food, I just wanted him to know it was made incorrectly.
Eel roll - supposed to be just eel and avocado. Roll was loaded with cucumber and almost no eel meat or avocado.
Spider roll - supposed to be a rice roll. Received seaweed wrapped roll loaded with cucumber and so little rice it wasn’t even completely around the roll.
Godzilla roll - roll was so messy it was just fell apart, and had almost no spicy tuna in it (which was supposed to be one of the primary ingredients).
Your sushi chef needs additional training and needs to make the items as described in your menu.

The food is ok. I had the steak and chicken and my friend had salmon and shrimp. Both meals were good. The salmon you will have to ask to be taken off the grill at your liking other wish he will cook it dry. We asked the guy if he could take it off it was nice and crispy but had we not said something it would of been well over cooked. The atmosphere was decent. They fill the tables up to capacity so no social distance from ppl you don't know. Thankfully Noone was sick or coughing at our table.
0 stars! I do not recommend this place to anyone. I found this worm in my food while I was eating, very disgusting!!! they should close this place, they have no customer service, they have no courtesy, my experience was very unpleasant and the Alabama Dept. Of Public Health should inspect them.
