The quality-to-price ratio of Wabi-Sabi’s sushi is unmatched - Review - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"You’re in the middle of it all at Wabi-Sabi. The 12-seat dining room shares the same tiny space as the open kitchen. A meal at this cramped SoMa Japanese restaurant is far from relaxing, but it’s entirely worth it for their consistently impeccable sushi. To see the full array of their raw fish mastery, go with the moriawase. The $49 pre-set selection comes with 11 pieces of nigiri—an unbeatable deal in SF—and will often include a bonus piece or two and some fruit to end the meal. Small plates like the gyoza aren’t on the same tier as the sushi and only worth getting if you’re extra hungry. Wabi-Sabi runs a high-volume takeout operation, so there’s usually at least one free seat anytime on weekdays, but on weekends, call ahead and make a reservation. photo credit: Melissa Zink Food Rundown Moriawase The selection of fish changes near daily, but you’re guaranteed nigiri that are so well-seasoned that even one extra dab of soy sauce or smear of wasabi would throw them off-balance. For your sake, we hope they have the salmon with lemon zest and the amberjack with a hit of shiso. And if you see uni on their specials board, order it immediately. photo credit: Melissa Zink Gyoza The moriawase is plenty, but if you think you’ll need a bit more, the chicken gyoza are fine to fill in any gaps. Otherwise, you can skip this. photo credit: Patrick Wong" - Patrick Wong
