- EErikaVIPSouth Carolina •8 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoBONDST was one of the most incredible meals I've ever had. I had two of the Shishito Pepper Margaritas which had the perfect spice level. They were so good. I split with my daughter the Wagyu Carpaccio, Toro Tartare with Caviar, Seared Salmon sushi roll, Spicy Tuna sushi roll, Tuna Tarts, Spicy Shrimp, and the Hot Scallop dish. Seriously incredible. Found out the next day that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were eating there at the same time too!!! Such a cool spot. The vibes were immaculate and the food was absolutely incredible.More infoBONDSTPrice: Very Expensive• Japanese• NoHo•4.8

I have celiac disease and they had gluten free soy sauce and made sure everything was safe for me.

- IIsabellaNew York City •1 review5.0Dined on Dec 25, 2024While searching for a high-quality sushi restaurant in New York, I stumbled upon Wabi Nori, and I'm so glad I did! The place has a chic, modern vibe, and the tables aren’t too close together, so you can enjoy a relaxed conversation. I was intrigued by their Hand Rolls section on the menu; the Lobster Hand Roll in particular offers an amazing flavor. We also shared Edamame and Wakame Salad from the Appetizers, both of which were super fresh. The Sashimi Combo we tried on my friend’s recommendation was the star of the evening. The service is quick, and the staff is kind and attentive. Prices might seem a bit high for New York, but they absolutely match the quality and experience you get. In short, once you try Wabi Nori, you might not want sushi from anywhere elseMore infoWabi Nori Hand Roll BarPrice: Expensive• Sushi• Lower East Side•4.6
- MMarcVIPNew York City •3 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 5, 2024I’ve been going to Yopparai for nearly fifteen years. It’s a perfect combination of both familiar and inventive izakaya food — with, of course, great pairings of sake, shochu, and other beverages. The staff, chefs, and owners are always attentive and go the extra mile. Excited to see an old favorite still going strong!More infoYopparaiPrice: Very Expensive• Japanese (Izakaya)• Lower East Side•4.6
