    Recently, my family and I had dinner at Wabi Nori, and it was truly an impressive experience. The dim lighting and wooden accents created a peaceful atmosphere as soon as we stepped inside. We were pleasantly surprised by the variety of the menu, which includes both traditional and fusion-style sushi. Our favorites were the dragon roll and unagi nigiri. Even the kids loved the tempura shrimp! The staff was quick and polite, and our orders arrived without delay. The freshness of the food and the high-quality service justify the prices. In short, I highly recommend it for anyone looking to spend a delightful evening with their family

    Last weekend, I stopped by Wabi Nori with some friends, and it was an excellent experience. We loved the spacious décor and subtle Japanese-inspired design. The sushi was incredibly fresh and beautifully presented—especially the spicy tuna roll, which we adored! The friendly staff was a big plus as well

    Last week, I met my coworkers at Wabi Nori after work. The décor is very chic, and the minimal Japanese artwork on the walls gives the place a special vibe. The sushi menu is quite extensive; I tried the volcano roll and absolutely loved it. Also, the service staff was polite and efficient. My friends left the place feeling quite satisfied as well

    The sushi is legendary! I went there with my girlfriend, the atmosphere was super relaxed, and the service was pretty fast. Prices are a bit high but totally worth it

    I stopped by after work with a friend and had a better experience than I expected. The menu offers a wide variety, from classic sushi to more unique flavors. You have to try the spicy tuna roll. The atmosphere is calm, and the music is low enough not to be distracting. The waitstaff was very attentive and helped us with all of our questions. It’s a great spot to unwind after a long day at work

    I recently visited Wabi Nori with a large group of friends, and since we all ordered different dishes, we ended up sampling almost the entire menu! We loved the modern and stylish design, complete with wooden tables, Japanese-inspired art, and elegant lighting that truly pleased the eye. As for the food, our favorite sushi items were the spicy shrimp roll and the California roll. The crab tempura was also quite delicious. The staff was very friendly and patient; despite our large group, they met all our requests without hesitation. Prices are on the higher side, but the quality of the food and service definitely make it worth it. Wabi Nori is now on our list of ‘places to visit for special occasions

    My partner and I wanted a special date night, and Wabi Nori delivered! The Omakase set was incredible, with every roll telling a story of perfection. The intimate atmosphere made it even more memorable. Highly recommended for couples
