"Most folks know Wabi Sabi, an excellent Japanese restaurant in the Upper East Side, for its donburi bowls. Those are still a great order here, but the menu has expanded over the years, and now they offer maki, nigiri, and sashimi—and it's all really good. You can order nigiri and handrolls by the piece, but they also have several omakase options—all under $100. Plus, you can enjoy all of the above in Wabi Sabi’s lovely little dining room, which is the ideal setting for a non-screamy meal." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
