    I went to Wabi Nori for a quick bite and ended up having a full-on handroll feast. The Bay Scallop roll is so good; I might have to move in. Do they offer long-term leases?

    As a sushi enthusiast, I can confidently say that the Yellowtail handroll at Wabi Nori is unparalleled. The balance of flavors and textures is a testament to their dedication to quality

    I tried the Spicy Tuna handroll at Wabi Nori, and I think my taste buds just did a happy dance. Is it normal to want to high-five the chef? Asking for a friend

    The Crispy Rice Spicy Tuna was a perfect choice as a starter. Then I tried the Spicy Tuna and Yellowtail handrolls. The flavors were very balanced, and the presentation was flawless. I ordered the Matcha Gimlet alongside, and it paired wonderfully

    I ordered the Salmon Sashimi and Spicy Tuna Truffle. Both were so fresh, they literally melted in my mouth! I had it with the Truth Be Told Sauvignon Blanc, and the flavors complemented each other perfectly. Highly recommended for sashimi lovers

    I ordered the 6-handroll set at Wabi Nori. The Lobster and Crab rolls were my absolute favorites. I tried it with the Kyoto White Yuzu beer, and it was a perfect pairing. It’s hard to find flavors like these anywhere else!

    I tried the A5 Miyazaki Wagyu handroll at Wabi Nori, and I’ve never tasted anything like it! The quality of the meat and its balance with the rice were perfect. I paired it with the Japanese Dream cocktail, and it was an amazing match. This experience was absolutely unforgettable

    We went with friends, and everyone was very happy. The variety on the menu was amazing, and everything was super fresh. The Volcano Roll and Oaxacan Sunset cocktail were our favorites. We will definitely come back
