    The quality of the ingredients at Wabi Nori is exceptional. The A5 Miyazaki Wagyu roll was a culinary masterpiece. Paired with the Sayuri Nigori sake, it created an unforgettable dining experience

    I came here starving, but after the 6 Handroll Set, I’m officially full and in love. The lobster roll? Chef’s kiss! I almost ordered a 7th roll, but I need to fit in my jeans tomorrow. 😂 Definitely coming back

    The Miso Soup paired with the Toro Toast was an exceptional start to my dinner. The richness of the soup complemented the delicacy of the Bluefin tuna. I’m definitely coming back.

    I tried the Spicy Tuna handroll today, and it was so good I almost cried. But then I realized I had wasabi on my fingers and touched my eye. Lesson learned: never eat sushi with emotions.

    The 4 Handroll Set was an excellent choice for lunch. The flavors of the salmon, yellowtail, and scallops were well-balanced, and the quality of the ingredients was evident. Highly recommended

    The warm, inviting atmosphere of Wabi Nori makes it perfect for a casual night out. The lighting is soft, and the wooden interiors create a relaxing vibe. Pair that with a Matcha Gimlet, and it’s a match made in heaven.

    The staff is like sushi itself—efficient, clean, and bursting with character! They made sure every detail of my dining experience was flawless. A special thank you to the server who recommended the A5 Miyazaki Wagyu handroll. It was divine!
