NORI Sushi & Izakaya serves Japanese sushi alongside an izakaya-style menu of small plates, so a meal can be built from several dishes shared across the table. Popular choices include vegetable gyoza, a tempura platter, glazed chicken wings with a house sweet and spicy sauce, and salmon teriyaki. The menu also lists boneless short ribs braised in house-made teriyaki sauce, and a sake selection is meant to pair with the food.

Orders can be placed online, and a lunch menu is offered alongside dinner. The restaurant is in Medford, Oregon, in the Rogue Valley, and it suits a group that wants to try a bit of everything. The site does not spell out reservation or walk-in policies, so the phone line is the best way to ask about larger parties.
