Definitely a must try type of place have been a couple times, really enjoyed their fries, their salmon roll aswell, Dragon roll was ok and Rainbow roll was ok, both missing something, unsure what though

We always enjoy our meals here. The dragon rolls were to die for and the karaage chicken was delicious. The sashimi could have been a bit fresher but all in all, another good experience.

Pretty good. Nice Decor. Not a lot of pickled ginger given.

Food was above average. Service was very good.  The dragon roll was good. I particularly liked it.

The salmon sashimi was very nice as well.

Came here to get some Japanese for lunch- there were very few Japanese places to choose from in Palmy and this one looked promising.
I ordered a salmon and avocado maki shushi to takeaway- cost $12.50 for pack of 8 pieces. The wait was only about 5-10 minutes and I could smell it even when it was still inside the packet.
When I got back I was pleasantly surprised to find it was made fresh, you know it's freshly made to order because the seaweed was still crispy.
The fish was delicious and fresh and the avocado was a decent amount.
Overall a good lunch, even though it's on the pricier side but at least they deliver on quality.

I've eaten here three times and wanted to give it a fair crack before I reviewed - with so many positive reviews I didn't want to rush it. 

To be frank I can't add that much to the other reviews, it's good, consistent, but a tad over priced on some dishes. 

Be a little careful with some of the Bento boxes, I got one that had three very chewy things in it, which I'm not a fan of (like Octopus). 

The Tuna Salsa while to die for is a bit pricy, but wow it does taste great. The sushi is generally very good. I've also had a few soups and they were good also, however I was not a fan of their Tom Yum, not my style, I prefer Thai style and hot (spicy hot).

Good food, give it a go, you'd could do a lot worse in Palmy. Bit $$ for every day lunch or dinner, e.g. for us a family of four (two adults, two under 6's it's easy $50 to $60 for a good feed).

Went here for a late dinner tonight , was still quite buzy but service was still great. Ordering was done at the counter. There was a new dessert dish (either green tea or raspberry panna cotta) which I had to try. The setting was slightly dim lighting plus soft music which made it a great place to be able to still talk without yelling or whispering. 
It wasn't long for my Bento Set A to come out, it doesn't look a lot but was pretty filling. Taste was good, salad could have done with a bit more sauce. Partner had a Tom Yum Chicken Ramen in mild, was still pretty spicy for us though but the flavor was just too good and ended finishing it. 
Had about a 10 minutes wait before they brought out our Green Tea Panna Cotta which was the new dessert item they had. It was really amazing, the green tea flavor was strong which i loveeee!! but for the price of 9.50 didn't feel like it was worth it, but maybe its a hard dish to make so costs more? who knows? :D but overall I was very satisfied with my meal of the night.

My favorite japanese place in palmy! They absolutely nail their tempura! Fast service and its always a satisfying meal! For a relatively cheap Japanese meal, I'd say wabisabi is the place to go

Has always served consistently good quality food with reasonable prices. This is my favourite Japanese restaurant in town! Very good service, clean environment and efficient in bringing their dishes up. I'm sure they will continue to do well 😃

Fantastic Japanese restaurant. I'm a big fan of their bento box style meals but everything else I have had is wonderful. They are very polite and the food is always freshly cooked and served pretty quickly. The worst thing is having to look at the Thai restaurant next to it as it is just as good.

The experience and the food were brilliant, and my girlfriend and I ordered an entree each and the same main each, the Japanese beer was superb and the meal was very tasty and fresh! The staff were very friendly and were always very happy and smiling authentically. Well done to Wabi Sabi!

We booked here to eat after our late flight got in. It ended up running late, but staff were so understanding and served us anyway, even though they were about to close the kitchen. We loved it so much, we went back for lunch the next day. Vegetable Tempura, Ramen and bento boxes, particularly delicious 😁

Superbly presented, and great tasting. Add to that friendly service with a smile, what more could you ask for? We've been a few times, and we'll definitely be back.

The ramen was good but we didn't like the gyoza and they have no meat option, just the vegetarian one. Overall the food was great though.

Having dined at Wabi Sabi many times, I can say that the service is efficient and the food is delicious, authentic and always fresh. I had dinner there tonight. The yakisoba chicken noodle dish was tasty and generous in portion. Same with the bento box, and the fruit bubble fizzy was so good that we ordered another! There's something for everyone at Wabi Sabi. I'd definitely recommend it for dates, family outings or just for a quick meal anytime. Thank you, Wabi Sabi manager and staff!
