    Fatty tuna maki
    Helen R.

    Unbelievably amazing food, even better service. I loved the space it was so tranquil, while being elevated. Can't recommend it enough -- perfect for a girls night or date night.

    Good quality sushi - but way overpriced in my opinion. More for ambience. it is a beautifully decorated restaurant. They have the standard 'lux' sushi items such as toro and uni, but overall its too much fusion items such as spicy tuna, California roll that you can get at other sushi spot , though an effort was put in to differentiate themself - such as the the California roll is made with 'wild blue crab' its not a return for me.

    Wabi Sabi Bowl
    Ray S.

    This place is special. Drive slow or you might zoom right pass it. But, when you find it, you will fall in love. This is not a place for drenching your "poke bowls" in spicy Mayo. The Wabi Sabi Bowl is for those who truly want to experience the delicate yet complex flavors in each bite. Each ingredient has purpose and is plated as such. The plating and service dishes are artful without trying hard. The service is non intrusive yet attentive. The ambiance is simple and minimal, wabi sabi at its best, allowing you to peacefully enjoy what's in front of you.

    Fresh, high quality, but pricey Wabi Sabi popped into my radar a few weeks ago so we decided to give it a try. Just a recommendation, the seating is limited, the restaurant is popular, so a reservation is highly recommended. The experience starts the moment you walk in. The environment is perfect to enjoy a meal, balanced music, welcoming decoration, and seating arrangements for different party sizes. But let's talk about the food. The menu is basically split into 2, a selection of bowls that go for around ~20, and different sushi variations. The bowls are decently portioned, with a delicious mix of ingredients. As for the sushi, all the pieces that we tried felt fresh, high quality, delicious... but portions are small (around 40-60 per person). So if you are someone who truly values fresh high quality fish and you do not mind the price, Wabi Sabi is great. On the other hand you can always go for a bowl and have a great experience. My Criteria 5 stars: The best food I have ever had, or an excellent option given the price. 4 stars: Good food, a restaurant I look forward to trying again. 3 stars: Good food, a restaurant that I am indifferent to. 2 stars: Below average experience, will not go again. 1 stars: This restaurant should be closed.

    I give this spot 4.5 stars. Going with 4 on yelp though because of price for value. Great: - Hotate nigiri, absolutely mouthwatering - Hamachi bowl with the grain mix - Spicy tuna maki - Cool atmosphere Solid: - wabi sabi bowl and maki - negitoro maki, good but the spicy tuna was surprisingly better Bad: - Steep price tag, for leaving barely full - California Maki, very plain especially for $16 *ouch* have had much better blue crab from blue ribbon I'd be curious to try an omakase here eventually, but it's not top of my list. Will definitely come back to try the rolls and bowls we loved.

    What a fantastic meal. The food, service and ambiance is perfect in my book. Our Waiter Bruno was professional, polite and explained the menu and all the fish they were serving us. If you know seafood and love excellent imported fish this is the place to go. We started off with the spicy tuna roll, California roll and the scallops with a cold draft Asahi beer. The rolls were very good and the scallop dish was fantastic. For our main course we had the Wabi Sabi bowl and the Omakase nigiri dish. The fish selection prepared by the Chef on the Omakase nigiri plate was fantastic. The assortment of fresh imported fish from Japan was exceptional. I never cared for sea urchin but when you have good quality imported sea urchin you will never care for the local sea urchin. I was fortunate that the chef served a combination of Ikura and sea urchin sushi that was incredible. Another nigiri piece served on the dish was fluke fine and I have never had a piece like that. For desert we tried the Japanese cheesecake with a warm strawberry sauce on top that was real good. What a great place for Japanese sushi.

    Nigiri in all seasonal varieties
    Alexa C.

    First of all, this has to be one of the best sushi experiences I've ever had in my life. It came highly recommended from a chef friend of mine so I traversed you the NBV neighborhood to indulge. While it might be hard to find (and park at) the quality is certainly worth the hunt. The interior is designed with an uplifting and minimalist trend focusing on their decorative wall. We grabbed the high top seating and commenced our nigiri tour as we drank a bottle of the Sleeping Angel sake. While the variety is limited, they've managed to properly procure the finest sushi-grade fish and roe to truly make the menu the perfect mix of Japanese heaven. I started off with a wakame salad as I sipped on sake. We ordered most of the nigiri rolls on their menu in efforts to take a tour of seasonal Japanese fishes. I'll admit the mackerel nigiri was quite scary at first with its silver skin resembling a piece of leather but the taste ended up proving it was actually one of my favorites. The salmon roe roll had a instant taste on my palette of what a Malta tastes like as the mixture of the soy sauce and wasabi coating the roll took the flavors to another dimension. I've always been a fan of uní and they served a nice hefty portion on their nigiri roll. We had an extra carafe of the sake after the bottle was done since it was so delicious. I'd highly recommend this fine restaurant for those seeking high quality sushi. Explore the menu and order outside of your comfort zone, you'll see how eclectic your meal can get.

    Salmon avocado roll and Nigori Sake.

    My favorite restaurant in the whole world. The fish is always fresh and the service is fantastic. My husband and I come here when we want to spoil ourselves. Worth every dollar. Totally recommend the salmon avocado, eel roll, wabi sabi roll and nigori sake.

    salmon bowl
    Jaime L.

    Not easy to find. Expansive dining room that seats perhaps 25 people. The menu is mostly bowls with Japanese inspired toppings, and sushi by the piece. Service was awkward yet attentive. Very limited selection of sakes and beers. Ordered the salmon bowl and yasai (vegetable) bowls. Tasty but not very memorable. Prices are okay.

    This gem of a spot was tough to find, and parking was also a bit challenging (street only), but none of those count against my amazing experience here. When I first walked in, the server and the head chef greeted me with warmth and excellent smiles. The decor was charming and cute, like a modern Japanese coffee shop. The service was excellent, fast, and friendly, and the shop was spotlessly clean. Onto the food- The chirashi was the best bang for your buck in my opinion. It had the standard three in top notch quality- salmon, tuna (which I got a fattier cut than normal Akami), and yellowtail. It also came with sea bream (one of my fav) and Japanese snapper, which are both usually pricier fish in the US. I got an additional order of the uni and scallop tamaki/sashimi, which I feel like were a bit more overpriced. They were great quality, and the nori was perfect, but I personally don't think tamaki should ever cost that much... I wish they would get rid of their poke' bowl menu and expand the other menu. Will definitely be back to try more!

We started with the hamachi, which was beautifully balanced with truffle-ponzu, jalapeño, wakame, cucumber, carrots, masago, and just the right touch of heat. The spicy edamame with chili garlic sauce was addictive and came out hot and perfectly seasoned. For rolls, we ordered the Crunchy Joy (shrimp tempura, chopped crabstick, tempura flakes, topped with avocado, yellow chili sauce, and eel sauce), which had such a satisfying texture and flavor combo, and the spicy hamachi roll, which was fresh, flavorful, and well-executed without being overpowering. One of the surprises of the night was the salmon burger with fries -- genuinely so good. The salmon patty was juicy, the avocado portion was generous, and the dressing tied everything together really nicely. We also tried their ramen, which is new to the menu, and it did not disappoint. The broth was deeply flavorful and comforting, with a soft-boiled egg, edamame, and mushrooms. You can tell a lot of thought went into it. We finished with the biscoff cake, which was the perfect ending to the meal. The restaurant itself is modern, clean, and inviting, with a lovely outdoor patio option as well. Overall, this place feels like a true neighborhood gem -- great food, warm hospitality, and an atmosphere that makes you want to come back. I'll definitely be returning.

This has been one of my top go-to spots to bring my family, so it was disappointing to have a different experience this time. We ordered a variety of dishes, including some of our usual favorites. I got the spicy edamame, which unfortunately seemed a bit overcooked--the beans were much softer than I prefer. My daughter ordered a chicken dish that ended up being mostly breading with very little chicken inside. I also ordered my usual salmon teriyaki, but this time the sauce tasted overcooked, almost burnt, which made it difficult to enjoy. I even had my daughter and her boyfriend try it to make sure it wasn't just me, and they both agreed. That said, not everything missed. The service was amazing. My daughter liked the miso soup. The Crunchy Joy roll (I believe that's the name) was very good, and the deep-fried pork gyoza was amazing as always. Overall, I was very disappointed since this place has consistently been one of my favorites. I'm hoping this was just an off day and that my next visit is back to the quality I'm used to. This is the reason for my three stars.

The smell when I first walked in was atrocious. It smelled like they cleaned everything with sanitizer water that had been sitting and reused for multiple days. WTF - I work at a sushi restaurant and this is insane. The appearance was great but the taste was horrible. I ordered the Hokkaido scallop roll and it was insanely fishy. There also was initiation crab inside (really bad quality one) that wasn't even mentioned on the menu to be apart of this roll. Not to mention the size of the rolls are giant and couldn't be eaten with one bite. Might as well be a burrito. Their "moshi moshi" roll was fine but again giant and the server said it was wrapped with seaweed as well as soy paper but that was not true. The wagyu roll was OK- but for $30 I am so upset. Over $100 for two people for lunch. Our server didn't even ask us how the food was. She was nice but she clearly didn't know what was in the rolls or ensure we enjoyed it. The lychee sake cocktail was undrinkable, it was too sweet but also too strong. How do you mess up a happy hour drink?? I called them and let them know I got food poisoning and they asked me if I was "allergic to anything" which is silly because I mentioned the extreme fishiness and mentioned I work with fish, the answer is no. He responded with "our food is super fresh", no the hell it isn't. Don't come here unless you want to waste your money. A million other sushi places I could go to for a better experience.

    Absolutely phenomenal meal from start to finish!…read more Service was great I ordered a Coke Zero and as soon as she opened the can she heard how flat it sounded and took it and brought me a new one right away. We ordered the crispy tuna rice, dynamite shrimp, truffle salmon roll, and beef noodles and every single dish delivered. The crispy tuna rice was perfectly crunchy on the outside with melt-in-your-mouth tuna on top, balanced beautifully with just the right amount of sauce. Easily one of the best bites of the night. The dynamite shrimp were addictive crispy, juicy, and coated in a creamy, spicy-sweet sauce that had just enough kick without overpowering the shrimp. A little hesitant at first being almost $30 but it was worth it! The truffle salmon roll was rich and buttery. The truffle flavor was subtle but elevated the salmon perfectly without being too heavy. Super fresh and beautifully presented. And the beef noodles were comforting and packed with flavor. The noodles were perfectly chewy, the beef was tender, and the sauce tied everything together with a deep, savory richness. On top of the amazing food, the presentation was gorgeous and the atmosphere was warm and stylish perfect for a date night or dinner with friends. Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu.

That said, a couple of items felt a bit underwhelming compared to the price point--good, but not quite memorable. Portions also lean on the smaller side, so it can add up quickly. All in all, it's a great spot with a cool vibe and very good food. Not flawless, but definitely worth going--especially if you're in the area and want a stylish dinner with consistently good quality.

I was actually pretty steamed all night; the point of spending money on restaurant food is to save me the work of cooking. So we spent money AND I cooked. Lose-lose. The interior of the restaurant is clean and fresh; the quality of the ingredients is good and the staff is super friendly, but the pricing is just way too high for what you get. The rolls were seriously not any better than Publix $5 sushi when the volume of rice is taken into account. We don't eat out much anymore so to try a new place and have it be disappointing is really a bummer.
