Wabi Sabi Santa Barbara

The Best Sushi in Santa Barbara, According to a Local Writer | Eater LA

"One of the staples in Santa Barbara’s Public Market, Wabi Sabi Sushi Bar offers fresh, meticulously made sushi in a casual, open setting. An alumnus of Santa Barbara’s longtime sushi spot Arigato, owner Buck Thananaken helped his wife open Santa Barbara Public Market’s Empty Bowl before returning to his beloved craft. Wabi Sabi Sushi Bar serves simple rolls like the rainbow roll, rice bowls with chicken katsu, and a tuna poke salad topped with crispy rice noodles. Try the sashimi bowl, where he combines a donburi-style dish with fresh fish for a hearty meal priced at $30." - Meaghan Clark Tiernan
