    I didn’t expect to be this satisfied when coming to Wabi Nori. The variety on the menu and the freshness of everything were incredible. The Dragon Roll is truly a masterpiece! The cocktails are also delicious; we especially loved the Tokyo Breeze

    Sitting at the bar and watching the chefs work was so enjoyable. The service team was very kind and answered all our questions in detail. The Salmon Avocado Roll is a must-try! The decor is simple yet very elegant.

    Wabi Nori is definitely number one for sushi in New York! It was both fresh and incredibly tasty. But the portions felt a little small to me. Anyway, it's great for the price/performance

    I took a friend who doesn’t like sushi, and now she wants to go all the time! The service was very fast, and the cocktails were a masterpiece. Our favorite was the Volcano Roll. The vibe of the place is also great, we loved it

    "It was our first time at Wabi Nori, and it was truly amazing. The menu has so much variety, it was hard to choose! The Shrimp Tempura Roll was my favorite, but the Dragon Roll was also incredible. The staff were very helpfull. Highly recommend

    We went without a reservation, but we found a spot right away. Maybe we were lucky, but everything was so fast. The Spicy Tuna Roll was amazing; I’ve never tasted anything like it! We heard their desserts are also great, so we’ll definitely try them next time.
