So we ordered crab Rangoon and spicy chicken appetizers. The apps were good; however, I could have done with less cream cheese. There was so much cream cheese in the crab Rangoon that you couldn't really taste the crab. I love the decor. The restaurant is decorated nicely but not over the top. For our entrees, my wife ordered the steak and shrimp hibachi, and I ordered the Incredible Roll and the King Dragon Roll. The entrees were perfect. Great service, reasonably priced, and great food. My wife and I are excited to return so we can try other items on the menu.

However, having had many versions of these dishes now in my life, the takoyaki was undercooked and there was hardly any filling. Felt like I was eating a hushpuppy. The katsu rice bowl was disappointing and I'm almost certain I bit on an eggshell eating it. The katsu was soggy, very disappointing. The sushi was alright but the rice was actually a little crunchy. Just overall, wouldn't recommend.

The staff here are fantastic / super nice. It's often busy but not crowded when I am there. The vibe - it's clean / casual, contemporary.

The Soloist's Symphony: A Quiet Triumph at Wabi Sabi In the…read morelandscape of Rochester's culinary scene, where sprawling dining rooms and corporate gloss often dominate, Wabi Sabi offers a radical and refreshing contrast. This is a "quaint" location in the truest sense of the word--a small, intimate space where the distractions of the outside world fall away, leaving only the focused craft of the kitchen. Visiting during the mid-afternoon lull, I found myself the sole patron in the house, a circumstance that afforded a rare and friendly dialogue with the man behind the curtain. The owner here is a true culinary soloist, operating as chef, waiter, and proprietor all at once. It is a one-man show executed with a quiet pride that is palpable the moment you strike up a conversation. The meal began with an appetizer of calamari that can only be described as a masterclass in texture. Cooked to absolute perfection and served piping hot, it was finished with a sophisticated drizzle that provided a balanced, nuanced counterpoint to the crisp exterior. It was a promising overture to the main event: a special Poke bowl. This was a vibrant assembly of tuna, cucumber, carrots, and avocado over rice--a dish that relied on the pristine quality of its ingredients and the precision of its assembly. It was, quite simply, delicious. The seating here is limited, a physical constraint that suggests the owner values quality over sheer volume. While I can easily see the room reaching capacity during peak hours, Wabi Sabi is perfectly positioned as a premier destination for those looking to take a high-caliber lunch or dinner to go. "In the Japanese tea ceremony, 'Wabi-Sabi' is the art of finding beauty in imperfection and profundity in nature." -- Unknown The owner of this establishment should be deeply proud of the standard he has set. For the locals of Rochester who have yet to discover this gem, I offer a high recommendation. It is a reminder that some of the most profound culinary experiences aren't found in grand halls, but in small rooms where the chef is close enough to tell you his story.

However, I was a bit underwhelmed with the quality of tuna. There wasn't much complexity to the dish. The place is known for their ramen. So I would go for that next. Ambience is like a vintage oriental hut. Not much seating but a good place to do a casual date.
