- AArvenNew York City •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoWe visited Wabi Nori with friends, and we were all very satisfied with the experience. The hand rolls were both delicious and incredibly fresh; the salmon one was our favorite. The atmosphere was warm and peaceful, and the service was fast and friendly. It’s hard to find a place that offers Japanese cuisine this high in quality. We’ll definitely come backMore infoWabi Nori Hand Roll BarPrice: Expensive• Sushi• Lower East Side•4.2
- MMichaelvipNew York City •13 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoYopparai is one of my two favorite Japanese restaurants in New York and I’ve been going there about 15 years. Yopparai (which means “a drunk” in Japanese because of its great sake list) is simple, excellent Japanese home cooking. The counter seats are for 2 people and that’s the best way to eat there if it’s just 2. The staff is outstanding and quality is excellent. They always have specials so it never gets old. My favorites are the sashimi sampler where the only use the best fish and great variety, karaage (fried chicken), kanuni (pork belly in dashi broth), tsukune (a chicken meatball patty topped with a raw egg yolk you mix together) and grilled squid! Love this place. Always feel like home!More infoYopparaiPrice: Very Expensive• Izakaya• Lower East Side•4.6
