    The Yellowtail Handroll was so soft, so fresh, and so perfectly balanced that I actually whispered “thank you” before taking my last bite.

    I took one bite of my Spicy Tuna Handroll, and the nori crackled so perfectly, I swear it could be used in ASMR videos. Every sushi chef in the world should take notes.

    I came in thinking I’d have a light meal. I left full, slightly broke, and completely in love. The Bluefin Otoro Handroll? Pure magic. The Toro Toast? Life-changing. Someone, please take my credit card away

    Forget coffee. Forget sugar. Forget anything else you thought you were addicted to. Once you take a bite of Wabi Nori’s Lobster Handroll, there’s no going back.

    Some people fall in love with people. I fall in love with handrolls. The Unagi Handroll treats me better than any of my exes ever did

    I was trying to be good. I really was. Then I saw the Toro Toast, and all my willpower disappeared. No regrets

    I came here once. Then I came again. Now the staff knows my name, and I have a “usual order.” This is fine. Everything is fine

    I’ve been to fancy omakase restaurants. I’ve had high-end sushi. And yet, nothing has impressed me quite like Wabi Nori’s Unagi Handroll. Someone, please give them a star
