Chicken Bento Box
Irving R.

This was a good spot. I got the chicken bento box with the chicken dumplings instead of California rolls. The chicken had a good char on it that is so necessary for that wok hei. The dumplings were tasty too. I'd come back to this place for sure.

Sashimi Combo
Nephthalie E.

This review is based on ordering out through delivery apps such as Uber eats and door dash. I have ordered from here and the location in Harrison quite a few times over the past year and usually order the chicken or shrimp teriyaki. I have no complaints regarding those meals! The portions are very generous! I usually have left overs for the next days. I've never had issues with my order. My order always comes correct and I'm the estimated time. Today I ordered the 16 piece sashimi combo that come with a side of miso soup. I also got a side of eel sauce because what's sushi without delicious eel sauce?!? The combo includes yellowtail, tuna, salmon, and octopus, squid and white fish. The miso was really good and tasted fresh. The sashimi was really good as well. No complaints. Everything was delicious!

Shrimp Roll
Cynthia A.

Wanted a quick afternoon bite and I was already in the plaza so I decided to try Sakura. The first thing that I noticed was that it was a beautiful, new and modern venue. It was not busy at all, I immediately got to order my food as soon as walked in. I walked in with the intention of ordering the spicy shrimp roll from browsing through the menu on Yelp but was told they don't sell that. So I would advise they update their menu. I ended up ordering a regular shrimp roll and (keep in mind I'm not sushi expert ) but I thought it was good. Nothing too special. The place was very clean. They stocked one corner with plenty of utensils, hot sauce, and to go condiment containers so that was very convenient. There's plenty of parking because it's in a large plaza shared by other businesses and Shoprite

The teriyaki here is delicious and eve portions are nice. You can get chicken, tofu, shirt or beef for $5.59 a $6.59 or combo them up to about $10.50, so not a bad deal. Great smoothies and you can mix the flavors. The place is really inviting with big windows in the front, so when you're sitting down the place is well lit without a lot of artificial light during the day. There's stool seating right near the window, a long bench along the right wall under some nice ethnic set work, and small tables that seat 4 scattered throughout the place. As soon as you walk in you can see fresh sushi being made and then the grill is right behind that to the right of the register. The one thing that I have always loved about this place is that you get to see your food, and everyone else's being prepared. For a place that doesn't wait tables, the tables are always clean the staff is really nice. As far as the food goes, the taste is spot on and filling. All the dishes come with rice or noodles and a side of veggies if you'd like, so it's very well balanced. It is teriyaki and sushi, a really simple menu, so if you're looking for more, you gotta go elsewhere. I love it, it's worth it and the smoothies are very good as well.

They deliver!
Lauren S.

This place deserves 10 stars for their super fast delivery. We ordered online from Grub Hub, and it told us to expect an hour wait. Our door bell rang just 20 minutes later! Is this an independent sushi restaurant, or Jimmy Johns? My roommates wanted to go out for sushi, but I had the flu, and they didn't want to leave me, so they looked up sushi places that deliver. We had never heard of this place, and the fact that they had bubble tea sealed the deal. Being sick, I obviously had no desire for sushi, but bubble tea? Yes please. The best part of the bubble tea is that they let you mix flavors, which is always a plus. I got coconut-mango with tapioca pearls, and it was one of the best bubble teas I've ever had (almost as good as The Tea Garden in St. Paul, MN). Not too sweet, but exploding with flavor. The tapioca pearls were the perfect texture, too. I'd order from here again just for the tea. (Note that all their bubble teas use dairy.)

EMT Roll
Camille N.

I literally live right by this place so when I do go is quick and easy. The food here is nothing special really. I usually grab a bite here when theres nothing in the house mainly or I don't feel like cooking. I have to say the EMT rolls from here are actually pretty good , they are just very pricey so I don't get them very often. Other than the rolls I come here for chicken teriyaki or shrimp teriyaki which is decent just like the rest of sakura japan's i've been to in new jersey. The place is is always clean and organized so that's a plus and they're quick with the orders. I have this place 3 stars because of the food , which I think is decent to me.

A coworker of mine is good friends with the owners and has been raving about Wabi Sabi for quite…read moresome time. I finally had the chance to visit with him, and wow, was I impressed! The sushi and sashimi were incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. The staff was just as impressive, offering warm, attentive service that made the entire experience feel special. I also love that it is BYOB. The dining room is thoughtfully designed, comfortable, and inviting, creating the perfect atmosphere for a relaxed meal. Wabi Sabi completely lived up to the recommendation, and I am already looking forward to bringing my wife there!

The fish was incredibly fresh, the rolls were well balanced, and everything came out looking as good as it tasted. What stood out to me most was the consistency and attention to detail. The staff was friendly, service flowed smoothly, and the atmosphere made it easy to relax and enjoy the meal. It's always nice to support places that clearly care about their craft. If you love good sushi, this restaurant is absolutely worth a visit. I'm already looking forward to coming back.

The town it self was having some pavement work being done and it was difficult to find parking. I was driving away when I eventually found a spot and walked about 6 minutes to the location. As I got there I could see that the restaurant was full and lively. The hostess was friendly and communicated our wait well. It did look like that they were struggling a bit with tables staying longer than they expected which caused a few reservations to be backed up while we were the walkins. I do recommend getting reservations here. I/we ordered a ramen, the cola wings, and the detroit style pizza. They were nice enough to separate the single serving of ramen into two bowls which was really nice of them. The Ramen was good but a bit salty. The cola wings were alright I wouldn't say they were the best I ever had. As for the pizza it was good, however when comparing with similar offerings in the area, Buckys in Chatam, NJ is superior for Detroit style. While, the this particular place did not meet MY standards I would still recommend as a nice date spot!

It's an intimate dining setting, and perfect place to take to impress a date. The service was immaculate. The servers were kind and knowledgeable when I was asking about a few things on the menu cause there was too many good options to pick I needed help lol. Food was insanely good. and the black sesame bubble tea was also so good I'm pretty sure it's all locally sourced and you can tell in the taste. Can't believe it took me this long to finally try this spot. They've got a new regular in me!!! Plus the lunch specials look way too good to pass up I need to try one week! Overall, I loved everything but I would say standouts for us were the love boat (that damn fried avocado was insanely good), the seared salmon (10000/10), and the salmon sashimi. As well as any of the specialty rolls you're in for a treat. and if you like swiss cheese try the OMG roll!! it comes out in a swan on fire heard it's poppin here on the weekends. expect a wait or come during the week to be sat immediately!! we came on a wednesday night and there was no wait.

If you eat in, you'll notice they still do a huge takeout business. I've used them for take-out and delivery, but eating is better. So, consider getting a reservation. You won't be disappointed. The sushi is as good as many of those that are highly on the various "best sushi lists". It is very good sushi. Plus the prices are moderate. And the presentation is attractive with flowers and small little bird statues on tiny baskets. A few real standouts: the Tuna Mango Tartar topped with a quail egg, which was fresh, light and tasty was actually the best I've ever had and I always order it. The miso soup, which comes with dinner, was light and flavorful. Even the tea was unusually good. The raw sushi dishes are very good, well presented and fresh. There's a variety of vegetarian and cooked sushi also well executed. Just remember if you are eating in, it's a small place.
