    Recently, while exploring near Times Square, we stumbled upon Wabi Nori, and it was such a pleasant surprise! We ordered the Gyoza and the Rainbow Roll—both were absolutely delicious. Thanks for the quick and friendly service

    I’ve tried many sushi spots in New York, but Wabi Nori truly won me over. The moment you step in, you’re greeted by a spacious and modern ambiance. The menu is incredibly diverse, ranging from classic rolls to unique flavors in their specialty rolls. I highly recommend the Truffle Avocado Roll and the Soft Shell Crab Hand Roll. Don’t forget to grab a Miso Soup on the side—it’s super fresh and perfectly balanced. The staff is very professional and friendly, answering all my questions in detail. The prices might be a bit high, but it’s not easy to find this level of quality in New York. I will definitely be back

    Last weekend, I visited Wabi Nori with my sister. It was great to escape Midtown’s hustle and enjoy a meal in a calm setting. My favorite was the Seared Salmon Roll, while my sister tried the Boston Hand Roll and really liked it. From the Appetizers section, we had Edamame, which was warm and just right. The staff is courteous, and the service is prompt. Prices are slightly above average, but well worth it

    My friends and I took a break at Wabi Nori after a long walk in Central Park. I definitely recommend the Spicy Crunchy Tuna Roll from their Signature Rolls—it was presented beautifully, and the service was quick.

    During a business trip, I was staying near Midtown and tried Wabi Nori for dinner. The Sushi & Sashimi Combo on the menu was a feast. I was genuinely surprised by the freshness of the fish, and the presentation was very elegant. The staff was attentive, offering plenty of suggestions. The atmosphere is calm and modern. Prices are standard for New York, in my opinion

    I went to Wabi Nori with some friends last week, and we absolutely loved it! Both the décor and the service were top-notch. The Spicy Crunchy Tuna Roll was our favorite—you could really taste the freshness. I’ll definitely be back.

    After strolling through Central Park, we dropped by Wabi Nori, and it was the perfect pit stop. We had the Rainbow Roll and the Soft Shell Crab Hand Roll—both were really tasty. The service was impressively quick, too.

    I live in New York and consider myself quite picky when it comes to sushi. The first time I visited Wabi Nori, I was so impressed that I immediately recommended it to my friends. First off, the interior design is very soothing; the tables aren’t too close together, and the lighting is pleasantly soft. I absolutely loved the Hand Rolls section on the menu! I tried the Lobster Hand Roll, while my friend had the King Crab Hand Roll—both were incredibly delicious. We shared some Edamame and Shrimp Shumai as starters, which were also excellent. The staff is very polite and clearly knows what they’re doing. The prices are reasonable for New York, especially for such a high-quality experience. It’s now one of my go-to sushi spots.

    Last night, my family and I went to Wabi Nori, and it turned out to be a much more enjoyable experience than I had anticipated. The restaurant’s minimalist design and soft lighting create a peaceful and welcoming atmosphere. From the moment we walked in, the staff was very helpful; they even suggested some kid-friendly options. Our favorites were the crab roll and dragon roll, and you could really taste the freshness in every bite. For dessert, we tried the matcha cheesecakes, which provided a sweet end to our evening. It was a wonderful night out for the whole family, and I highly recommend it.
