I tried the 6 Handroll Set at Wabi Nori. The freshness of the ingredients and the harmony of flavors were impressive. The Lobster and Crab especially stood out; it’s a true seafood feast. The service was also quick and very friendly.

Today I ordered the 3 Handroll Set, and wow, the Spicy Tuna was really spicy! My mouth is on fire, but it was worth it. 😅 Next time, I might bring yogurt with me. Salmon and Yellowtail were like comfort food after the fire... they just burned me gently

Today I had the Bluefin Otoro handroll. I felt like a goldfish while eating it, so fancy. 🐟 Not just Bluefin, I think I became premium too! Jokes aside, the flavor was amazing

Today I tried the A5 Miyazaki Wagyu from your Specialty Handroll menu. The texture and presentation of the meat were first-class. I would like to commend such a thoughtfully prepared menu. It was truly a perfect gastronomic experience

I thought I knew sushi until I had the Bluefin Otoro handroll. Now I know I've been living a lie. 😂 Wabi Nori, you’ve spoiled me for life. Nothing else will compare

Who knew Oyster Mushroom handrolls could be this good? I came for sushi, but this might be my new favorite. Wabi Nori, you’re full of surprises

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
