Wabi Nori

Wabi Nori puts the W in WOW! My boyfriend had been saying that we needed to try Wabi Nori for quite sometime and I was blown away! Everything from the service to the food was impeccable!! Upon entering the beautifully designed restaurant we were greeted by the host who promptly sat us at our table.Once sat the server came over to take our drink order, we both had dirty martinis which were so good and chilled perfectly! From there we put in our food order and this is what we had:Starters:- Crispy Rice Tuna (omg!! This was so good!! Little bite size deliciousness!)- Spicy Tuna Truffle (by far the best tuna I have ever had!) Main course (shared hand rolls):- 6 hand roll set (our favorite was the lobster roll)The server was super attentive through out our visit! I am so excited to come back and try other items on the menu! :)

- overall rating: 3.5- came for a friend's birthday and had the 5 handroll set ($32) with the addition of an uni handroll and we shared the crispy rice spicy tuna appetizer - I had alerted the staff that it was her birthday and they brought out dessert for us (which we didn't order and were charged for, we both assumed it was going to be comp'd until I saw the bill) matcha tiramisu which we both found overly sweet and tasted nothing like tiramisu (we left over half of it, $12) - I generally only use soy sauce/Wasabi for take out sushi but we both found a few of the rolls fresh tho a bit flavorless and needed a bit of help - the cocktails were probably the most enjoyable part of the meal, well balanced and not too sweet - we were both enamored by the panda chopstick holders (featured in the dessert photo)

This place is not it. They missed the mark on so many things. First of all, the service was super slow. Second, It's a small place so every time someone walked behind me they hit my chair or my coat. Third, the music is super loud, couldn't really have a convo with the people sitting across from me. They only have 1 bathroom so there was a line every time someone from our party went to use it. Once you enter the bathroom it was so big I felt like they could've just made 2 or 3 smaller bathrooms instead. There were 4 of us and we ordered a bunch of things to share. My first issue was that we received some of the food before any drinks. We also waited way too long between ordering food and receiving our apps. We ordered 4 rolls (4 of each) for everyone to try. We received 2 of the rolls and then received the other 2 about 20 minutes later. Honestly everything tasted good, but nothing stood out. We were still hungry after our meal and wanted to order more but didn't want to continue dining here so we went to another sushi place for more food. This place was also super over priced on some items. Just not worth it. Wouldn't recommend.

Came for lunch and was trying to keep it reasonable so stuck to hand rolls. Great value for a handroll set; left full and the quality was very good. Definitely want to return to try the apps which look amazing.

Amazing attentive service, super friendly chefs and food is just 10/10. The vibes in here are perfect for date night or low key gno. Hands down my favorite hand roll spot in the city.

Service fantastic. Sushi is great, ambiance unbeatable. We got the squid 7/10, coconut cocktail 10/10, crispy rice 9/10, shishito peppers 9/10, we got the biggest hand roll combo and then added ottoro to it. We loved the ottoro and lobster 10/10, yellow tail 9/10, tuna and salmon 7.5/10, scallop 4/10.lol I would come back , Hannah waitress 10/10

OK I'm going to be honest, I'm perhaps getting a a little tired of the plethora of hand roll restaurants located in the city. However, where does Wabi Nori stack up? Overall, kinda average. Certainly not bad, and it makes for a great date spot in a pinch, but it doesn't really stand out to me.The ambiance is great, with a modern, moody interior. It makes Wabi Nori great for a date or post-work snack/drinks. Where the restaurant falls off a bit, I think, is the food. Perhaps I came in on an off day, but the fish was a bit too cold for my taste. To the point where it was a little distracting. Additionally, I didn't think the sushi rice was particularly well made, as it didn't quite have the right texture and the balance of seasoning was a bit off. Still, the service was nice and the staff seem great, so I still think this spot is worth a stop. Perhaps it just wasn't my taste.

It was an ok experience, the ambiance is beautiful and decor was lovely. Service was really friendly and quick! The crispy tuna rice was super crispy and loaded with flavor. But our handrolls were all soggy and lacked flavor for handrolls these were not enjoyable, possibly an off day.

We loved wabi nori, we went today first the first time and had an great time and really amazing food, super fresh!! we loved and we definitely will be coming back!

Nice cute place that has delicious hand rolls. They've got a nice happy hour menu but it's too bad none of the hand rolls are on that menu. The toro hand roll is delicious so definitely try that when you come here. Service here is very nice and friendly. Once you go in, they are very attentive and do check if you're all good which is nice. I will be visiting again and so should you.
