I'll start off with the parking. There's plenty of parking in the shopping center if you get there early enough. The decor was on par with the theme. The place is not big but every inch of this place was decorated. Definitely gave a Halloween vibe. My husband and I wanted to try the food. At the entrance I was told to ask a waitress about a table. Some were reserved already so we waited a little while. Paola hooked us up with a table about 10 minutes later. We ordered our food and some drinks and within 10 minutes we were eating. We ordered some wings a burger and Cajun fries. Everything was delicious and although the drinks are kind of pricey they were delicious. Paola kept checking in on us and once we were ready to close the tab, she got us a high top table by the area where people were dancing. She still would check in on us from time to time and even brought us some water. So shout out to her! The dj played good music and the whole place was vibing. Everyone was having a good time. They played music that made me reminisce of my high school days as well as current music. The only thing I was not to fond of was the bathroom. Only two stalls for the women's restroom and a bathroom for either gender. At times the line would be long. My husband and I enjoyed ourselves very much and would definitely go back next year if they do it again.

    This small spot is located in a slice of Costa Mesa that should be renamed Tiny Tokyo. It is O.C.'s…read moreversion of Sawtelle Blvd in WLA. Wabi Sabi is in a strip mall with mostly J-eats from Tofu to Tonkatsu. The decor is spartan and all Sushi. And don't ask for a pitcher of Soy Sauce or a knob of fakey Wasabi along with committing a long laundry list of Sushi sins. ie; pointing the hardwood (no cheesy plastic chopsticks) or stabbing a lobe of Uni with them. The Chopsticks are solely a vehicle for delivering each bite to your lips and then your hips. There are only 15 seats in the place. Most of them at the horseshoe Sushi Bar. There are two four tops plus one two top. That's it. My Dorm Room was bigger. But cozy is good for such a place as it creates conviviality. Shushi Chef Makoto-san holds court and Kampachi. He serves a curated variety of Ikajime, (aged Fish), fresh fish flown in from sources in Japan, and some local fish when it meets his requirements along with 45 different Sake choices. Just ask Akira-san, the Sake Somm, for suggestions. Despite it's size, Wabi Sabi offers an auspicious and ambitious menu. Sushi etiquette dictates that you eat exactly as it arrives. No bottle of Soy Sauce or a knob of fakey Wasabi (Horseradish with food coloring). There are three levels of Omakase from $85 per person to $180 per person. For my first time I opted for the Sushi 101 version ($85) and planned to supplement that with ala carte plates until I could enjoy no more. The Omakase featured six Nigiri, (Vinegared Rice and fish), one small mystery Bowl and a Hand Roll all up to Chef Makoto. I lost count and I think Chef Makoto did to as we were having a grand ole time. First you will be asked questions. "Anything you don't eat? Anything you must eat? Any allergies?" "No Chef", I replied. "I eat everything alive or dead. Cat Hair, Puppy Pimples, Dust Bunnies, Bee's Knees, and Roasted House Mouse. You decide. (Probably a good thing that didn't translate well). That issue having been resolved the party started. Akira-san brought a flight of thee Sakes. All lovely and unique. The first dish was a lightly Vinegared Half Avocado with shredded Hanakatsuo (Bonito Flakes). The cuts in the sliced Avocado were so precise Sweeney Todd would have approved the presentation. Plus it was bright, delicious, simple and elegant. Next came Crispy Unagi (Fresh Water Eel) intertwined with Baby Corn inside a crunchy wrapper to hot to touch. Talk Politics while it cools. Add some Pickled Ginger that packs a pickled punch to the plate and move on to something less derisive...Religion. House Made Corn Tofu was really interesting and terrific. It was as thick as a Lemon Curd settled into a shallow pool of Sweetened Dashi topped with Hokkaido Uni and a dot of real Wasabi. Machigainaku ichiban. Out came a bisected bivalve (Dry Day Boat Scallop) also from Hokkaido served with Seasonal Rice. The Scallop was firm but not chewy and as good as this dish can be. Buri (Yellowtail) with House Made Corn Sauce, Daikon Radish with a dot of Tobiko (Flying Fish Roe). Hard enough to harvest such a delicacy when they're flying let alone when they are swimming. It's Tuna time. Otoro, fully fatty style with a paint brush of Soy Sauce lightly applied and as soft as Butter. Then there was Medium Fatty Toro. Both were wonderful. Having worked my way through the fatty scale it was a fatty on the scale in the morning. How about some Salmon on Rice with a dot of Basil Paste. Doesn't that sound divine? Well, it was. Buri (Amberjack) with a drop of Green Peppercorn Sauce was spiritual as well. I began to think about tapping out and then I asked for chopped Buri, a dash of Chili Powder and Chopped Shiso Leaves, a brush of Soy Sauce all neatly loaded into a Nori Square Hand Roll. Finally, I encouraged Chef Makoto to go to the edge and make a last Roll of his choice. It was just Chopped Toro and Pickles. Ooh Baby, was that perfect. A true perfect Happy Ending. Sushi Wabi Sabi you're my new hobby.

    Really nice omakase experience! The sushi was super fresh, and the chef was friendly and welcoming…read more My favorite course was definitely the crab hand roll. The matcha sake and plum wine are a must try! We chose the Wabi Sabi course, which included an appetizer, six pieces of sushi, a hand roll, mini bowl, miso soup, and dessert. My only caveat was the pacing. The experience lasted about two hours, and unfortunately, they forgot our dessert. I didn't realize it until after we had already left. Despite that, everything we tried was delicious, and overall, I really enjoyed the experience! PP: $120

We stopped by here on my birthday for a nice evening dinner. Got there a little before sunset. There's just something magical about eating outside during a sunset, especially at the Orange Plaza. The restaurant has such a cool look and vibe! We started off with the Hamachi crudo, salmon ceviche, and a bowl of clam "chowdah". The crudo was absolutely delicious, highly recommend. The salmon ceviche was really good but a bit heavy on the sauce for me. The clam chowder had whole clams in the shell throughout. That was fun to pick them out! For entrees we got the lean and mean plate with sea bass. It comes with salad and rice, we substituted the rice for black beans. We also got the skirt steak "bulgogi" which was served on top of mushrooms and bok choy with a sweet soy sauce. They accidentally brought out salmon instead of sea bass, but were very apologetic. They brought out a sea bass on the side and comped the entree to make up for it. Great service right there! The salmon and seabass were both delicious and cooked perfectly. The steak was tender and juicy, full of flavor. As a birthday gift they brought out a thai milk tea blondie sundae which was soooo good! Get it if you like sweets. I wish the owners all the best in their future endeavors, they created a great restaurant that many will miss. Thanks to all the servers, hostesses, cooks, and bussers as well for making my birthday dinner so special!

We came here four or five times with our book club, and the service has always been friendly. The owner was always awesome and let us have our annual Girl Scout Cookies and wine pairings here, along with some Conqueror challenge celebration lunches. The food was delicious.
