​​Sushi Nori | A Bittersweet Farewell to a Seattle Institution 🍣🥢​​

Our recent visit to ​​Sushi Nori​​ (formerly Pomodoro) on East Lake was a poignant reminder of how quickly Seattle's dining landscape evolves. What once felt like a familiar Italian haven now stands transformed into a modern sushi spot, leaving us with mixed emotions. 📍 ​​Location & History:​​ Sushi Nori, 123 Main St, Seattle, WA (Former home of Pomodoro - a beloved Italian restaurant that served the community for over 20 years) 💫 ​​Our Experience:​​ 🍱 ​​What We Ordered:​​ • ​​Signature Temaki Set (30)∗∗−Acuratedselectionofhandrolls•∗∗ChirashiBowl(45)​​ - Scattered sushi over rice • ​​Spicy Tuna Chips ($15)​​ - Crunchy appetizer 💰 ​​Total:​​ $99 (including tax) 🐟 ​​Highlights:​​ • Exceptionally fresh tuna toro with rich marbling • Thoughtful details like moisture-proof nori wrappers • Retained some original architectural elements (bar counter, open kitchen) ☹️ ​​Areas for Improvement:​​ • Noticeable cooking oil aroma in the dining area • Some menu items combine fish with mayo (not for everyone) • Premium pricing ($45 chirashi is steep by Seattle standards) 💌 ​​The Emotional Side:​​ The space still holds echoes of its past - from the familiar layout to the remnants of Italian decor. The owner's simple farewell letter on the website spoke volumes about the bittersweet nature of change. #SeattleChange #FarewellPomodoro #SushiNoriReview #CapitolHillEats #RestaurantEvolution #SeattleFoodScene #NostalgicDining #JapaneseCuisine #WeekendBrunch #DiningInSeattle
