Coast-to-coast expansion
Having already built a strong following in Vancouver with successful spots on Robson, Brentwood, and Richmond Centre, Hello Nori is expanding its presence with the goal of adding three more Toronto locations by the end of 2025. Partnering with Ocean Wise, the restaurant emphasizes the responsible sourcing of top-tier ingredients, such as Ora King Salmon and delicate Toro, ensuring every dish reflects a commitment to both taste and environmental stewardship.
Central to Hello Nori’s allure is its dedication to the craft of individually prepared hand rolls. Each roll is assembled on-demand, preserving the crispy texture of the nori and maintaining the warm, perfectly seasoned rice. This approach ensures that every bite is fresh and flavourful, showcasing the finest Neta (sushi ingredients) from both local suppliers and selected imports from Japan.

Aesthetic
The first thing that stands out upon entering the venue at the King Street flagship is the contemporary design that blends natural materials like wood and stone, echoing the aesthetic diversity of Toronto’s architecture. The restaurant’s ambiance is tailoured to provide a sophisticated backdrop for an experience where the art of sushi-making is as prominent as the food itself. This attention to architectural detail highlights Hello Nori’s aim of making each visit memorable, whether guests come for an evening out or a casual lunch.
With aspirations to grow the brand to 100 outlets worldwide, this launch represents more than just an opening; it marks a significant step toward becoming a global name in Japanese dining. The King Street location serves as the starting point for this vision, aiming to introduce more guests to the simplicity and refined techniques that define Hello Nori.
