    We chose this place for a family dinner, and it was an incredible experience. The decor was very elegant; it has a minimalist design but creates a very warm atmosphere. Even the kids loved sushi! The spicy shrimp roll, in particular, was a masterpiece. The waiters made special menu suggestions for the kids, and everyone was very happy. The warm towels and Japanese tea served after the meal were a lovely touch."

    Last week, I went to Wabi Nori with my sister, and we were completely enchanted! The atmosphere was so peaceful that we felt like we were in Japan. The wooden details on the walls and the traditional Japanese lamps were stunning. As for the food, the sweet soy shrimp tempura roll was our absolute favorite. The staff was very kind and provided detailed information about the dishes. Service was incredibly fast. The green tea mochi balls we had for dessert were also perfect. I will definitely come back

    My husband and I went to Wabi Nori to celebrate our anniversary. The ambiance was so romantic that everything went perfectly. I loved the Japanese calligraphy details on the walls. As for the food, the avocado salmon roll and shrimp tempura were a feast of flavors. The staff was very polite and very helpful with our orders. The mango mochi we had for dessert crowned the evening.

    I came here with my colleagues after a meeting, and we were all very satisfied. The place has a modern and elegant design while also offering a comfortable atmosphere. The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. The seaweed salad and sweet soy salmon roll were incredible. Additionally, small but impressive details like the Japanese tea ceremony made the night even more special.

    My sibling and I went to Wabi Nori, and we both loved it! The minimalist decor of the place allows the food to take center stage. The salmon sashimi was so fresh that every bite was delightful. The warm towels provided by the waiters were a nice touch.

    We went to Wabi Nori as a group of friends for a birthday celebration. The atmosphere was energetic and perfect for a celebration. The menu was so extensive that everyone found something they liked. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive. The special sushi platter was the highlight of our table

    My girlfriend and I chose this place for a romantic evening, and it was a fantastic choice. The place is very calm, with dim lighting that creates a wonderful ambiance. The food was truly a work of art. The avocado hand roll and sweet crab roll were our favorites. The mochi balls we had for dessert crowned the evening

    After work, my friends and I went to Wabi Nori for a bite, and we didn’t regret it. The spacious feel of the place and the great music really impressed us. The shrimp tempura roll and spicy tuna roll are must-tries. The staff was cheerful, and their energy was contagious

    We chose this place for my birthday, and it turned out to be the perfect choice. The lighting of the venue is dim but not dark at all, creating a very pleasant ambiance. The staff was extremely helpful with everything. The mochi balls we tried for dessert were the best surprise of the day.
