Best Dried Seaweed & Nori of 2025

“I've tried several brands of sushi nori, and CHOI's Daechun Roasted Seaweed is the best! The sheets are large, fresh, and perfectly crisp. They have a superior flavor profile—rich and savory. I've used them for sushi rolls and as a snack, and they've held up beautifully every time. The vegan nature and absence of artificial flavors are huge pluses for me. With 50 full sheets, it's a great value!”

“I recently tried CHOI's roasted seaweed gim, and I'm really impressed with the quality! These full-size nori sheets are perfect for sushi rolls at home. The gold-grade quality is evident—they're thick and don't tear easily. Plus, they're vegan and keto-friendly. The taste is fresh with a slight roasted flavor, making them great for snacking too! I’ll definitely be buying again!”

“I bought the DAECHUN Sushi Nori to make sushi at home and the quality is excellent. The sheets are thin yet strong, rolling easily without breaking. The flavor is delicate and authentic, perfect for homemade sushi. The resealable packaging is very practical, keeping the product fresh. The only reason for not giving 5 stars is the higher price compared to other nori, but the superior quality makes it worth it!”

"I'm a huge fan of this seaweed. I use it for everything from sushi to soup. It's a product of South Korea, and while the sheets aren't always perfect, that's common with many brands. I always keep this on hand and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys seaweed."

"Incredibly fresh and tasty! I love it so much that I keep two packs in the freezer for whenever I crave it. The only downside is that it's a bit thinner than regular nori, which makes it prone to tearing. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with this purchase and highly recommend it!"

"As a busy sushi chef with over 30 years of experience, I made a mistake and ran out of seaweed right before a class. I ordered this online, but the quality was disappointing. The sheets were too thin and had many holes, resembling Swiss cheese. Many were missing large corners, leading to embarrassment during my class. This product isn’t suitable for sushi and will mostly go to waste."

"I've tried various nori brands, but I found this one on Amazon at a great price. After opening, I store the sheets in a tight, airtight container to keep them fresh for a long time. I love the slightly salty flavor and the fact that it's organic. I rate this product 5 stars!"

"We made our own sushi rolls for the first time using this nori, and it was delicious! I appreciate that it's organic and the 50 sheets last a long time. Sushi-making turned out to be a fun date night activity!"

"I mainly use this for snacking to keep my kids' iron levels up. They love it, and it seems to help them avoid getting sick. It's a natural source of iodine as well!"

"I'm absolutely hooked on this Seaweed Sushi Nori! The fact that it's 100% organic and roasted makes it even better—it tastes fresh and natural, with the perfect balance of crispiness and flavor. Whether I'm rolling sushi, making kimbap, or just snacking on it straight from the pack (no shame!), it never disappoints. The resealable container is a total game changer, keeping the sheets fresh and crunchy. Plus, the pack of 50 lasts me quite a while—great value for the price! I highly recommend this for anyone looking to elevate their meals with a touch of deliciousness!"

"I recently purchased the 50 pack and made sushi with 5 sheets that same day. The taste and texture were great, and I didn't encounter any broken sheets. I will definitely be buying this again!"

"I've tried many brands, but this one is the best. I make sushi at least four times a week, and the quality has been excellent. The packaging protects the sheets from breakage, and they taste fantastic!"

"I've been buying these for almost three years, and they're perfect for making Noris, Onigiris, and more. They taste great, and the price is unbeatable."

"Our family loves kimbap and we eat it almost once a week. I have to pay at least $20 for 100 sheets, so $14 is a steal! And quality is great too. Very fresh and crispy til last sheet."

"These are very brittle and break apart easily. It took some adjusting to get used to making sushi with them, but once we figured out how to handle them carefully, they worked well. Good flavor. They become supple and strong as soon as they are moist from the sushi rice."

"I honestly didn't expect so much wakame for the price. After trying it, I was pleasantly surprised by the fantastic and rich flavor. The only downside is that with so much wakame, I will have to find more recipes beyond just miso soup. Highly recommend this product!"

"I think my kids ended up eating this stuff dry—they believe it's the best ever! I love it in our soups; it's very tasty and I find it to be a good deal for what you get."

"I recently tried the Shirakiku Cut Wakame Dried Seaweed and had a mixed experience. The seaweed rehydrates quickly and has a nice texture, which is crucial for any dish. However, the flavor wasn't as rich as other brands I've tried, which was a bit disappointing. Plus, the packaging could be improved to keep it fresh."

"I can test the seaweed, and it's not too thick so when I make gimbop, it doesn't break when I roll it. Plus, it's not chewy at all."

"We don't have an Hmart nearby, and this product is a better deal than what I find in the Asian grocery store here."

"There are pros and cons to this seaweed. Great quantity for the price, although it has a strong seaweed taste. The chemical warning does give me pause, but I've seen it on other products too. Also, the packaging was a bit concerning as it arrived without protective packaging."

"I hadn't used it for a while, but while making a big pot of beef and vegetable stew, I decided to add some kelp. It turned out super tender, and I cut it into small pieces, so it blended right in. The mild taste was great, and the next day, I had an excellent bowel movement. I believe it has the nutrients they claim."

"I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of YUHO Kombu. It's sun-dried and truly free from preservatives and grit. The flavor it adds to my dishes is remarkable. It’s like a whole new taste experience! The texture holds up well when cooked, and it becomes tender without falling apart. I feel great adding such a wholesome ingredient to my meals."

"I bought this because I was low in thyroid, thinking kelp would help. However, I found the sheets quite rubbery and tough, needing cooking to soften. I used it in my crockpot with bone broth and veggies, but the flavor was a bit fishy and salty for my liking. The value for the amount is good, but it may not suit my tastes."

"This has become my go-to for sushi parties. Always fresh, tasty, and easy to use!"

"I was pleased to find this package of dried seaweed. It was packaged very well and arrived intact. The sheets are a nice size and offer 20 sheets of quality seaweed—perfect for sushi and ramen!"

"As a novice sushi maker, I found the nori to be fresh and ready to use. Each sheet had consistent texture and thickness, making it easy to roll with rice and fillings."

"I enjoy using these sheets in miso soup and appreciate their organic quality and great price. My dogs love them too!"

"After taking a Japanese cooking class, I’ve tried many Nori brands, but this one is my go-to for sushi. It’s flexible and tastes really good!"

"Finding organic seaweed sheets at a good price is tough, but these are great! They’re a bit crispy, which makes them a little crumbly, but my daughter loves them!"
