    I stopped by after work with a friend and had a better experience than I expected. The menu offers a wide variety, from classic sushi to more unique flavors. You have to try the spicy tuna roll. The atmosphere is calm, and the music is low enough not to be distracting. The waitstaff was very attentive and helped us with all of our questions. It’s a great spot to unwind after a long day at work

    Last weekend, my friends and I dropped by Wabi Nori and were very impressed. The spacious ambiance and simple decor immediately caught our eye. The sushi was incredibly fresh and delicious, with the avocado roll being our favorite. The service was fast and friendly. In short, it was a great experience

    I recently visited Wabi Nori with a large group of friends, and since we all ordered different dishes, we ended up sampling almost the entire menu! We loved the modern and stylish design, complete with wooden tables, Japanese-inspired art, and elegant lighting that truly pleased the eye. As for the food, our favorite sushi items were the spicy shrimp roll and the California roll. The crab tempura was also quite delicious. The staff was very friendly and patient; despite our large group, they met all our requests without hesitation. Prices are on the higher side, but the quality of the food and service definitely make it worth it. Wabi Nori is now on our list of ‘places to visit for special occasions

    My partner and I wanted a special date night, and Wabi Nori delivered! The Omakase set was incredible, with every roll telling a story of perfection. The intimate atmosphere made it even more memorable. Highly recommended for couples

    Our group came here to celebrate a friend’s promotion, and it turned into a night we’ll never forget. The hand roll sets were not just food but a full sensory experience. The Salmon and Yellowtail were crowd favorites. Wabi Nori knows how to create magic!

    The Wabi Nori experience is unforgettable! As a first-timer, I was a bit hesitant, but the Spicy Tuna Hand Roll blew my mind. Perfectly balanced flavors, fresh ingredients, and the umami burst were just heavenly. Can’t wait to bring my friends next time

    I went with my friends for dinner, and we had such a great time. The food was incredibly delicious, especially the tuna tataki, which was my favorite. The service was quick, and the cozy atmosphere left an impression on us. I definitely recommend it

    I went to Wabi Nori with my family, and we had an amazing experience. The interior design of the restaurant is truly elegant and beautifully reflects modern Japanese aesthetics. The minimalist artwork on the walls and the warm lighting immediately made us feel comfortable. The menu had so many options that it was hard to choose, but the staff were incredibly helpful. We ordered salmon sashimi, dragon roll, and crab nigiri. The dragon roll, in particular, might be the best sushi I’ve ever had! The flavors were so well-balanced, and the freshness was undeniable. The yuzu lemonade they recommended was a delightful surprise as well. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive; we felt truly special. Wabi Nori has definitely become a place we’ll visit frequently
