The place is over rated. Waited 45 mins for food to be served. Ordered Ramen but it didn’t taste like ramen. The salmon sashimi was good and the grilled wagyu from set dinner was good, but side dishes didn’t go well with each other as well as seasoning

Overall a really nice dinner at wabi sabi. Never been before I decided to book outside dining as online and their Instagram it looks like you sit in a garden courtyard. Unfortunately we were a table on the front foot path walkway. So ambience wasn’t good due to people walking past, trams, cars ect. Wish I booked inside. Food was good, and service was good. I would come back to try more of their menu!

Food is always amazing. Been here a few times but love it every time. The service was great too but it was hard to get the server’s attention as it’s very busy. As it was usually packed, making a booking is recommended. Will come back for sure.

This restaurant used to be excellent, however the service isn’t what it used to be. Perhaps it has changed hands in the last few years? Despite there being 4 wait staff, we had to wait quite a while for service (and the waiter forgot my drink). Food was delicious, however this restaurant could improve on service.
