Reviews of Wabi Sabi

F.

Superbly presented, and great tasting. Add to that friendly service with a smile, what more could you ask for? We've been a few times, and we'll definitely be back.

s.

OVERALL: 10 / 10. VALUE: fair portions, average price range. SERVICE: friendly and prompt. FOOD: excellent, good flavour, fresh ingredients, slightly salty. AMBIENCE: very relaxing, quiet, good for a date. *Reviewed dine-in ramen and sushi.

G.

Our favourite restaurant, love the staff! Great food, great presentation, super friendly service, they know our order as soon as we walk in the door!

D.

Food was beautifully presented. Great selection and prices. Decor and ambiance very calming. Will definitely be back

M.

The food was great and the service.. definitely recommended 👌

A.

Had dinner here tonight. Absolutely fantastic service, very quick entree and mains! The food was absolutely delicious! Hot and fresh! We will be back

A.

Really nice quality, authentic Japanese restaurant. The okonomiyaki and unagi maki sushi are a must to try. Staff are friendly and attentive and the restaurant itself has a sleek yet casual vibe. The food is also great value for money and great for sharing.

M.

Customer service was on point. had takeaways of some sashimi and it was super good will definitely come back for some more coz I couldn't get enough forgot to take some photos of the presentation but I definitely will next time

S.

My favourite restaurant! So many healthy and delicious options and caters for everyone. The staff are very straight forward and friendly, and help make for a great experience. Pricing is fantastic for the quality of the food. The general vibe of the restaurant is very chill and relaxing, with order - eating times being shorter than most places. I would definitely recommend for anyone not wanting to break the bank, but wanting a lovely dinner out.

M.

Good for a coffee and cake. There were lots of good choices on the menu.

V.

Very nice fresh Japanese food. Loved the drinks too, including matcha milk tea and a various flavours of blooming tea served in wine glass.

V.

Friendly service and a tasty affordable menu. Enjoyed my dinner, but dessert was a let down. I ordered the green tea ice cream with the red bean but wasn't told that the kitchen had run out of red beans. The ice cream was also very icy and sticky like it had thawed and refrozen. It also had a weird aftertaste. They discounted my ice cream slightly because of this.

G.

Great menu, nicely presented, tastes authentic, staff are very friendly.

C.

Clean, nice modern decor, meals reasonably priced and good quality. Tasty. Kids loved it too.

L.

Great service and excellent, fresh, beautifully presented food

N.

Thank you for comfortable and welcoming service, cozy and clean space, tasty fried octopus 🐙 and beautiful food presentation. I always go out from the restaurant stuffed 😄 Natasha

T.

Best Japanese restaurant in Palmy! Absolutely delicious!! All ingredients are very fresh and tasty!! Highly recommend!

C.

This by far exceeded my expectations! The food was amazing. I'd highly recommend the teriyaki chicken.

L.

Great fresh food, quick service and lovely presentation. Yum!

G.

Delicious food at a great price. Would definitely recommend

L.

Lovely place with beautifully presented food that tastes good too. Can be a nice fast lunch spot. Dinner is good too. The tea is really good, especially fun to get the flowering tea

P.

Yummy food, friendly staff and well presented. Will be back for sure

S.

The atmosphere, service and food were great. There is enough variety for everyone to enjoy. The menu supports the true sushi lovers and those members of your family that may not be believers just yet! We went with the kids and for the first times it was a great introduction. The fact that there are several preset orders in bento boxes make ordering easy if the whole table is not going to share. Highly recommended.

c.

Bento was fresh and tasty. Tried 2 types of Ramen - pork and duck didn’t taste fresh and soup was boring. Calamari was hard and chewy but batter was nice. Staff was very polite and lovely.

K.

Fantastic food. Appetizers were served quickly, and given time to enjoy before mains came out. Absolutely delicious. Enjoyed seafood dishes, ramen and stir fry, all was delicious and very well presented. Pricing is fair for the quality of the dishes. 10/10

s.

Reasonable price. Miso soup was absolutely delicious. All plates were beautifully presented and price was great compared to the amazing food.

L.

Best sushi restaurant I've been to and I've been to many! Service was great. I got to take away and they were fast and accommodating. Great selection including a GF option. It seems on the pricey side but for the quality it's worth it! Totally recommend if you have a sushi need! I ate it all before I remembered to take a photo... But go try it!!

M.

Good pies, sandwiches and ecles cakes.

B.

Excellent sushi! Comes out of tge kitchen within 10 minutes with 4 of us seated at a table. Has a decent selection as well drinks to cater for most.

R.

It's food is consistently delicious and served in a timely manner. The service is reasonable, not flashy, not over the top or perfect, but they're polite enough. The food is the draw card, I think if you dine here you'll get the rustic pork cutlet style, or noodle style quick fix type meals. And if you're after something a bit fancy, they have that too. What I enjoy is their ability to cater to a wide range of apetites- gluten free, children, and fussy eaters.They're really well priced too. Love this place.

A.

So yummy, I have never ordered something from here I haven't loved and I have been ordering food here for years! The staff are wonderful and the restaurant is fab. 5 stars.

C.

Great food and service! Would definitely go again.

K.

Perfect place for yummy food !!! Lovely food (Excellent food) fantastic service, table setting looks very casual ,very tidy an clean thou and comfortable , but the food is 5 Star ☆☆☆☆☆ Price is low cost ... parking in underground car park or out front of Restaurant, it is right in the city and movie theaters are just a few doors down ... would make a lovely evening!! Even let us take a doggy bag home ,as was to much food , good size main meals about $19.50

G.

Atmosphere was nice and peaceful, service was excellent and the food was delicious. Prices were middle off the road. We will go back again.

A.

Great service, fast and tasty food

C.

Delicious Japanese food at very reasonable prices. A little bit of everything offered on the menu, from sashimi, sushi, Japanese entrees like takoyaki, gyoza, tempura etc., bento boxes, rice and noodle dishes. Can recommend the cheese karage and unadon, both were delicious. Friendly and fast service. Would definitely go again.

A.

Sensational. Couldn't fault any dish.

L.

Service timely and superb really. Clean and well presented although I was slightly disappointed with my food the vege tempura was oozing oil and the karaage chicken had a taste I didn't like. They weren't prepared to swap out the tuna for the tempura in the bento box so a little more expensive. Last time the meal I had was amazing so maybe just a little tweaking required.

I.

Very cosy, nice atmosphere, great food and service! Will definitely visit again when I'm in Palmerston North.

d.

Great Japanese restaurant. Have a great selection of bentos that we usually order takeaway for. Have recently had a significant upgrade inside. Looks very nice and are now licensed and even have some craft beer (parrotdog) on offer which is excellent. Very reasonably priced also.

A.

One of my favourite places to eat in Palmy. Had the Oyakodon today for lunch, and though I've never tried the dish in the past I was extremely impressed. The staff are always polite and friendly and the food is quick to arrive. Also try the tempura roll and gyoza.

Great duck ramen have been there a few times over the years for it. Not many complaints from friends eating other dishes.

B.

Super yummy food, I love the Takoyaki Octopus balls! Also, the bento boxes ate great value, getting a variety of tastes without having to buy one of everything.

h.

Very good service! A bit expensive but worth it!

B.
