Awesome Food and Chef!
My experience at this restaurant was awesome. I always return for the food, and a significant part of that is their chef, who is a kiwi. He is very kind and consistently ensures we are happy with our meals. The food quality is excellent, and the service, particularly from the chef, is outstanding.

Expensive but Worth Every Penny
My experience at this restaurant was definitely not cheap, but it was absolutely worth every penny. When I asked about local specials, they informed me that the fish was from Japan. The food was exceptional, and the service was top-notch, though the atmosphere was a bit lacking.

Excellent Sushi and Value
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had great sushi and would highly recommend the tuna belly sashimi and the wabi sabi roll. The restaurant also offered great value for money compared to other options. The food was rated a 5, and the atmosphere and service were also excellent, both rated at 5. I dined alone for dinner and spent between $20-30 per person.

Neighborhood Gem with Top-Tier Service!
Wabi-sabi is a true neighborhood gem! Aside from the thick slices and amazing rolls, the service was top tier and left us feeling elated. We would highly recommend! Specifically, the Wabi-sabi roll was recommended and we loved the seared scallop. The hotto-sake was another delicious roll. The 6pcs sashimi featured thick cuts and fresh fish, which we thoroughly enjoyed!

Terrible Food and Drafty Atmosphere
My experience at this restaurant was overwhelmingly negative. The food was really bad, and the atmosphere was unpleasant due to the door constantly being left open. I also suspect they are deleting negative reviews.

Yummy food, but confusing pickup location
My experience was a bit confusing initially due to the website not clearly indicating the pickup location. However, the staff quickly remade my order at the correct branch, which was appreciated. The food was yummy. 🙏

Fantastic Experience with Delicious Food!
What a fantastic and highly recommended place! The staff were incredibly kind and attentive. The dishes were delicious, featuring fresh fish and excellent combinations. We particularly enjoyed the aka-doragon sushi rolls. Thank you so much for the wonderful evening!

Great Food, Friendly Staff, New Alcohol Option!
My experience at this restaurant was overwhelmingly positive. The food was excellent, and the staff were incredibly friendly. I also enjoyed their happy hour. It's great that they now serve alcohol, as I anticipate we'll become regulars. The service was rated a 5, and the food a 5, indicating a high level of satisfaction with both aspects.
