The perfect combination of high-quality sushi and expertly crafted cocktails. I had the Haku Colado, and it paired beautifully with the Bluefin Tuna handroll. This place truly understands how to elevate flavors

What sets Wabi Nori apart is their attention to detail. The rice was at the perfect temperature, the seaweed was crisp, and every ingredient tasted incredibly fresh. On top of that, the staff made us feel like VIP guests. A must-visit spot
