“ Best late night happy hour! The food & bartender Michael were amazing! The owner Andy is great! Definitely my spot! Love it here ”
“ Everything was phenomenal. We tried two appetizers- bacon wrapped chicken thighs and the octopus balls - both were AMAZING, also ordered the sashimi plate, and a noodle entree. Everything was great - vibe and restaurant atmosphere was on point. Server Jason was fantastic. Will come again! ”
“ We dined for dinner on a relaxing Sunday. The staff was friendly and helpful to us and the other customers. We ordered the grilled octopus skewers which were awesome. They had the flavor from the grill and were cooked perfectly so they were not dry nor tough. They were my favorite. We also had red clam nigiri, shrimp tempura don, and yakiudon. All were great and there were alot of interesting cocktails. Update: We have been back to Wabi Sabi three times and everything has been excellent. The staff is great and chatting at the bar was interesting to hear about the cocktails. Also the first time I didn't notice the chili powder and it was a great addition to some of our food choices. ”
“ What an amazing little place. Amazing service, an eclectic menu with a plethora of choices. And I'm happy to say I was the first person to order and eat the A5 waygu skewers (spoiler: it was REALLY good). ”

From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with a warm, inviting ambiance that makes you feel right at home. The owners and servers are some of the friendliest people you’ll ever meet—they always remember me and make every visit feel personal. But the real star here is the food. Every dish is prepared with such care and precision that it’s impossible to leave disappointed. Whether it’s their incredibly fresh sushi, flavorful ramen, or perfectly balanced small plates, everything is consistently top-tier. I’ve recommended this place to countless friends and family, and they all rave about it just as much as I do. If you haven’t been to Wabi Sabi yet, you are seriously missing out.

“ Atmosphere was ambient, chill, and with good music. A great casual date spot away from the hustle and bustle of Blue Back. The food was also great! We loved the Pork Gyoza. The chicken bacon and pork belly skewers were good. We also had two rice bowls, the Fried Pork Katsu and the Kaisen Don. They were both amazing. Would definitely recommend!!! Servers were so nice and very attentive! Kaisen Don pictured ”
