Hello Nori is a unique dining experience with rolls made in front of you one at a time with warm rice to be consumed immediately while the seaweed (Nori) stays crispy. It's also one of the rare places that serves real wasabi.

If you're a hiker (hike is steep, not for beginners!), take the Grouse Grind trail up to the top (Free). Otherwise take the gondola to the top for great views. In Winter, it's also a ski hill.
