Wabi Sabi

Came here for our anniversary… It was an ok experience, the food wasn’t the best, the chef wasn’t entertaining at all, very boring and disappointing.

The only thing I don’t like about tepanyaki places, is that they wait to fill the table before the chef comes out to start preparing your meal. The food itself was great, I’d definitely come back. The shrimp were kind of small, but the serving sizes of everything was very generous. We tried a few rolls which were also very good. Located in a strip mall, like most places in Rancho so lots of parking available. They have a bar section as well with a TV for sports if that’s something you look for.

Great food cooked in front of you. Our chef (William) was talkative and had a flare that made the experience wonderful. Our waitress Victoria) could not of been nicer. She was super fast and was telling jokes the whole time. We will be back.

Sushi was okay. Nothing that was a wow factor. The cooking in front of you is cool.you feel the heat for sure. Service was okay. Waitress could have asked if we wanted alcohol drinks after we just asked for water first. Oh well.

The staff was very kind. I ordered an entrée to share with my friend, we had just got off work, next-door. they separated it on two plates for us. the Chicken and Scallops were really good. I also ordered a couple of sushi rolls. I found a hair on one of them so it turned my appetite off. I enjoyed the soup though and my friends said the salad and beer was really good.

We went with a large party after a UCR graduation. They were absolutely amazing! We were seated early and had drinks before the graduate arrived. Food and performance was appropriate for our crowd. Our server's son graduated from UCR and truly enhanced our experience.

Went to Wabi Sabi for my friends Birthday lunch .... this was my first time. It was a fun time. Our margaritas were good to start. Then we had the salad ... it was ok but maybe a few more choices for dressing ... Our Chef was entertaining but as I looked over at another chef he seemed to have a better presentation... the food was good and tender .. had good flavor. .. portions were good ... took some home... I had steak and swordfish , fried rice ,and vegetables. Will most likely go back.

It was a good place but unfortunately since I went to another one a year ago this one came out short to be honest. The entertainment was the same but as the food comes out it gets cold and my previous place same scenario better location and better set up as well as the food coming out hot hot. Would I come a second time no to be honest it was overpriced for cold food.
