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

    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!

    I visited Wabi Nori Hand Roll yesterday, and it was an unforgettable experience. The hand rolls were incredibly fresh, with perfectly balanced flavors and textures. The service was impeccable, and the staff made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. The ambiance is cozy yet modern, creating the perfect setting for a relaxing meal. I highly recommend the spicy tuna roll—it’s a must-try! Can’t wait to visit again.
