NYC: Norikoh in Flatiron – The Grand Opening Party

Bonito flakes and shishito peppers at Norikoh, Flatiron, New York City

I was invited to the Grand Opening Party at Norikoh in Flatiron District, but I am in Denmark, getting my annual dose of Danish Christmas, so I couldn’t make it. I therefore sent my friend Sue and asked her to share her thoughts about the event. Sue loves good food just as much as I do, and we usually have the same taste in restaurants. Here are her comments:

Food and drinks

The sushi was good but no mind-blowing, very standard NYC sushi. We had started eating, when I remembered that f••k, I have to take photos! That explains why the sushi plate looks a bit empty in the photo:) Overall, the food reminded me of what you get at SushiSamba. My favorite dish was the shishito peppers with bonito flakes, and a zest of lemon to bring out the flavor of the dish. It was nice. The sangria from the happy hour menu was delicious, but hey what’s up with that oversized pineapple in a weird shape? hee-hee. We arrived a little late, and they were out of chicken wings and vegetable gyoza by then, so we did not get to taste these dishes.

The restaurant and the vibe

Norikoh felt very Midtown, with the simple, corporate set-up. The vibe was pretty casual with upbeat, club-like music, a bit like the restaurants on Lincoln Road in Miami Beach. It was a nice evening and I am glad that we went. Afterwards, we continued the evening at the bar at NoMad, which is only a short walk away.

Ninja Air Fryer 4-in-1 Pro
$119.99

I’ve had really good experiences with the Ninja air fryers. They're easy to use, the quality feels solid, and the results are consistently great. I’ve had really good experiences with the Ninja air fryers. They’re easy to use, the quality feels solid, and the results are consistently great. I like that you don’t have to fuss around with settings to get good food out of it. Vegetables turn out crisp without drying out, and chicken comes out juicy with a nice golden crust. It’s one of those kitchen gadgets that actually lives up to the hype and ends up being used all the time.

Ninja NC301 CREAMi Ice Cream Maker
$199.95

The Ninja CREAMi is hands down the best ice cream maker I’ve tried. What I really like is the texture. The ice cream comes out so smooth and creamy, better than anything I’ve managed with other machines. It’s also incredibly easy to use: you prep your base, freeze it overnight, and then let the CREAMi do the rest. With several one-touch programs, you can make ice cream, sorbet, gelato, milkshakes, or even smoothie bowls, and the re-spin function lets you make your batch softer if you prefer. You can go all in with decadent gelato, or make lighter, low-sugar or dairy-free versions. You can even add your favorite mix-ins like chocolate, nuts, or fruit to make it your own. It’s a fun, reliable machine that makes experimenting with flavors at home so much more exciting.
