Sushi, poke bowls, and omakase with fresh fish
"Yes, we know Wabi Sabi is actually in the Upper East Side, but sometimes we like to break the rules. And Wabi Sabi is certainly worth knowing about if you're in the area. The casual Japanese restaurant works for takeout, but it’s even better for a relaxing, leisurely meal consisting of some of Miami’s best sushi. They serve that sushi in a few different forms. Their donburi bowls are excellent and filling, with a base of sushi rice, cha-soba noodles, or greens. They offer maki as well as a la carte nigiri, sashimi, and very good hand rolls. They also have nigiri, sashimi, and chirashi omakase options. The chirashi is the most affordable (about $40) and filling of the three, thanks to the delicious pile of sushi rice the sashimi sits atop of." - ryan pfeffer
"Most folks know Wabi Sabi, an excellent Japanese restaurant in the Upper East Side, for its donburi bowls. 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 that hover at or just below $100. The nigiri omakase comes with 12 pieces and one maki. The sashimi omakase comes with 12 pieces of fish. And the chirashi omakase (the cheapest at $50) is 12 pieces of sashimi served over a lovely bed of sushi rice. You can enjoy all of the above in Wabi Sabi’s quiet, lowkey dining room, but they’re all available for takeout as well." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
"While Wabi Sabi may be known for its pristine donburi bowls, but sushi lovers can indulge in a la carte pieces of fish or opt for the Wabi Sabi Omakase with 12 pieces of nigiri and one maki of the chef’s choice." - Olee Fowler
"Wabi Sabi is a great Japanese restaurant, and is also generally quiet enough to read a book or bring a sleeping baby you’re not trying to wake up. They serve sushi in a few different forms. Their bowls are excellent and filling, with a base of sushi rice, cha-soba noodles, or greens. They offer maki as well as a la carte nigiri, sashimi, and very good hand rolls. Their location just off 79th Street causeway should keep you far from central’s Miami’s very bad traffic, which will have both babies and adults crying within five minutes." - ryan pfeffer
"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
