"Wabi-Sabi is a tiny sushi spot with a lot going on. Chefs work just steps away from your plate, assembling pristine nigiri while waitstaff field takeout orders and phone calls. It’s hectic, but the $49 moriawase—a rotating 11-piece set that’s often upgraded with a bonus bite or two—is one of the best sushi deals in SF. Grab a bar seat and hope for salmon with lemon zest or a shiso and amberjack combo." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
