- GGraceNew York City •1 review5.0Dined 6 days agoI went to Wabi Nori with my family, and we had an amazing experience. The interior design of the restaurant is truly elegant and beautifully reflects modern Japanese aesthetics. The minimalist artwork on the walls and the warm lighting immediately made us feel comfortable. The menu had so many options that it was hard to choose, but the staff were incredibly helpful. We ordered salmon sashimi, dragon roll, and crab nigiri. The dragon roll, in particular, might be the best sushi I’ve ever had! The flavors were so well-balanced, and the freshness was undeniable. The yuzu lemonade they recommended was a delightful surprise as well. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive; we felt truly special. Wabi Nori has definitely become a place we’ll visit frequentlyMore infoWabi Nori Hand Roll BarPrice: Expensive• Sushi• Lower East Side•4.5

- MMarcVIPNew York City •3 reviews5.0Dined on 5 Dec 2024I’ve been going to Yopparai for nearly fifteen years. It’s a perfect combination of both familiar and inventive izakaya food — with, of course, great pairings of sake, shochu, and other beverages. The staff, chefs, and owners are always attentive and go the extra mile. Excited to see an old favorite still going strong!More infoYopparaiPrice: Very Expensive• Izakaya• Lower East Side•4.6
