    We went to Wabi Nori last Friday night with a large group of friends. We had a reservation, but if we’d been any later, we might’ve missed out on a table because it was quite packed. The décor, soft lighting, and gentle Japanese music really enchanted us. We started with Chicken Gyoza and Edamame; the gyoza filling was super tasty. Then we tried the Volcano Roll and Seared Salmon Roll from the menu—I’ve gotta say, the freshness of the fish really stood out. Service was pretty fast, though there were some minor delays when it got really busy. Still, the friendly staff made up for it. Prices are normal for New York, not cheap but not outrageous either. We had a wonderful evening

    The wait staff was very attentive. I love a restaurant where I never have to ask for refills of water or alcohol. I had not been to Blue Ribbon in quite some time, it did not disappoint. The fish was very fresh. We had been going to Bond Street because a little more of a scene, but the food here is so much better. Will be going back soon for sure.
