Tang, the owner and founder of Pink Nori picked Astoria for its lively dining scene and abundance of young professionals with money to burn. “People are always out and about,” he said. “People around here like to go to bars and try different foods.”

Pink Nori is the brainchild of Jesse Tang, a recent grad of Stony Brook University who won the $10,000 Long Island Youth Entrepreneur Challenge with his restaurant idea, which includes a make-it-yourself sushi menu. Winning the award not only meant receiving startup cash, but also entrepreneurial help, like a press assistant, along the way.

Tang and his family live in Fresh Meadows — they picked this space in Astoria because of the neighborhood’s rapid growth and the abundance of businesses along 30th Avenue. The spot was formerly a grocery store; the family took on a total renovation to turn it into a sleek sushi joint. Tang picked a main chef who cooked at both Morimoto and Nobu, recognized sushi restaurants in Manhattan.

While the make-your-own-sushi option was inspired by Tang’s distaste for shrimp, and his desire for a menu that could be customized based on preference, he encouraged the chef to be creative with other menu items. Besides the make-your-own-sushi options, the menu features rolls and sashimi with unique flavors like guacamole, anchovies, taro chips, jalapeños and potato chips. There’s also a selection of traditional rolls as well as hot meals from the kitchen.

Blah

The sushi here is bland. I thought the prices were too high for the quality. Oh well I tried them but won't go back. Just doesn't feel like an authentic Sushi restaurant.

Just Ok

Everything about this place except the décor is just ok. A bit on the expensive side also. Watawa is much better in my opinion.
