    We 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 back

    Well below average food for the price. Poor service and not worth wasting a meal over. Ample better options in LES

    It was great and they were super accommodating. I loved the Japanese beer selection too, had a couple of n different ones than the standards I always see when I’m out for sushi

    If you think sushi can't get any better, you haven't tried Wabi Nori yet! Their hand rolls are like little hugs for your taste buds—fresh, flavorful, and made with love. The vibe? Cozy yet lively, just like your favorite playlist. Don't forget to try the spicy tuna roll; it’s worth writing home about (or at least posting on Instagram). Sushi dreams come true here!
