Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Wabi Nori Hand Roll Bar offers a serene escape with its "pure zen" ambiance, reminiscent of "a hidden alley in Tokyo." Delight in the "luxurious" Bluefin Chutoro and "addictive" Unagi handrolls. The staff is "super chill" and make you feel at home. Perfect for a memorable dining experience.

I made eye contact with the chef after finishing my Toro Toast. We didn’t speak—but we understood each other.

There was a moment of silence at our table after the first bite of Scallop. We were grieving the fact that it would eventually be over.

I ordered the A5 Miyazaki Wagyu handroll and suddenly felt underdressed. That’s how elegant it was.

The server smiled and said, “Trust me on the Crispy Rice.” I did. I now trust him with naming my future children.

I brought my mom here for her birthday. She said it was “the fanciest fish she’s ever met.” She named the lobster roll "Greg."

My toddler ate an entire mochi without blinking. I’ve never been more proud.

The way the Karaage crunched? Cinematic. I half expected dramatic background music to play.

Took one bite of the Salmon Nigiri, closed my eyes, and forgot my ex's name for 7 whole seconds. Healing is real.

I came in hangry. I left enlightened. The sushi didn’t just feed me—it forgave me.
