I just had a really bad experience in this restaurant and I will make sure to spread my review anywhere I can. They are very disrespectful to families with kids with disabilities. You should close your restaurant and open another business where you don't ever have to deal with kids. You guys make me sick to my stomach. The service overall is just a disgrace. read more

Good sushi, very high price for what is offered. Got their version of omakase which means we basically ordered off the sushi side menu. Whole the selections were good, but really expensive. Can actually get same and better quality sushi in NYC for same same process paid there's. But I guess you can do that when you are the only nice sushi restaurants for miles. Service was great and very sweet team, but won't be back because I have far better sushi near home in Hoboken/JC/NYC area. read more

Went to this charming restaurant yesterday with my family. The interior is very classy, dim lights with candles on table. It is definitely a good place for a romantic date. Our appetizers: smoke duck and rock shrimp all tasted wonderful. Rock shrimp is spicy so my kids couldn't have it. My husband is allergic to shrimp so I get to eat it all up. Yay. Smoke duck is very tasty. Like a very good quality smoke ham, full of apple wood smokiness. Wonderful way to start our meal. The grilled squid, however on the dry side. The seasoning is good just a little hard to chew for the kids. The sashimi in my Chirashi are very fresh. I added an order of California Uni onto my chirashi. It tasted very sweet and fresh! It was a good decision. Besides fresh raw fish, the rice is also very yummy. However there is too much rice I got filled up pretty quick so I have to leave some unfinished in the bowl. Dragon rolls for my kids are very good. There is sliced avocado on top of shrimp tempura rice roll with abundant eel sauce. My kids finished it up in a snap. That says something. Miso glazed seabass entree from their kitchen is a wonderful meal for a non-sushi eater like my husband. He likes it all: the tender seabass, the mashed potato, and the crunchy asparagus. My husband never eat asparagus and he cleared everything in the plate. It says something. As for the special japanese whole grilled fish, my husband who is a very picky eater especially fish, cleared everything so fast that I could not believe my eyes. Usually I am the one who clear the boney part of the fish. This time he cleared all up so clean before I got any chance..lol that also says something. We were all so full before we got any chance to try any dessert. Oh well maybe next time! Darn, that was a great dinner. Highly recommend! I think this restaurant is BYOB. So bring some beer and go try it yourself ! It won't disappoint! read more

The staff were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

After the fiasco that was lunch at Diesel and Duke in Montclair (that god-awful sloppy mess) it was so good to spend some proper coin on a delicious, fresh and filling sashimi and sushi platter for two (yes there were two of us, I didn't eat the whole thing myself) at this Bloomfield gem. The service is attentive, friendly and focused. They were slammed last night and there was a wait, but the staff kept it moving. Astonishingly good read more

Great food and good service. I've never had a bad meal at Wabi Sabi. Highly recommend this restaurant.

It's my husband's birthday and we drove half an hour for a lunch date because of all the 5-star- reviews on yelp and we are so pleased with everything. The food was fresh and tasty , otoro and hamachi were sweet, clean and buttery. My husband went out to buy some liquor and I heard the chef and the waitress were discussing that they would rather wait for a bit to prepare the otoro so we can have the food with its best quality, not a second earlier, not a second later. That's professionalism! Alice is the waitress and she is friendly and warm, she knows everything about the menu and she helped us pick and choose what's best for our occasion. They send us a free birthday dessert on top of everything. It was such a pleasant birthday lunch. We will definitely be back! Thank you. read more

This is truly a hidden gem in Bloomfield. I've had Wabi Sabi bookmarked for quite a while so when my friend suggested we meet here I was all over it. The restaurant itself is trendy and very well decorated. My friend and I were sat near the front window in a cute corner of the restaurant. They have a wide variety of food in the menu. I was so focused on having sushi I didn't even read it all throughly! They have a ton of really neat sushi rolls, something for everyone. I had spicy salmon rolls and a fancier shrimp tempura roll with tuna on top. My friend went more outside the box with her roll choices. Overall, everything was fresh and felicitous. The prices are a little high but you're getting good quality stuff. We also split the cheesecake and it was heavenly. It came with a side of black sesame ice cream - I could have eaten a gallon of that alone! I can't want to come back and try something new. I would suggest calling and try to make a reservation for Friday nights and weekends. read more

Another remarkable meal at Wabi Sabi! They never cease to deliver a top-notch dine-in experience--cozy, classy ambiance, attentive staff, high-quality ingredients, and, most notably, an ever evolving menu. Their experimental, advanced selection of seafood arguably surpasses the majority of introductory-level sushi restaurants there are in New Jersey. Ankimo, Cod Milt, Kinme-dai, grilled Ayu for summertime, hamachi-kama, kumamoto oysters, and many more-- each of these delicacies is handpicked seasonally with care, impressive knowledge, and undeniable passion for what they do. If you are tired of seeing the same dull choices and ready to move up to the next class of enjoying Japanese cuisine, WabiSabi is undoubtedly a must-visit. read more

Wabi Sabi exceeded my expectations. I did not think I could find this quality of Japanese food so close by. For starters I shared: - Clam sake soup - delicious light soup with a surprising twist of heat - Hamachi Yuzu - fresh slices of hamachi in a lemony dressing - grilled octopus - tender and grilled perfectly For my entree, I had the seafood uni pasta with shrimp and scallops. The pasta was slightly al dente and had plenty of seafood. The sauce was creamy with uni blended in. I would have liked a stronger uni flavor but I enjoyed the dish overall. I also sampled my husband's roasted duck confit mushroom risotto. The duck was cooked nicely with crispy skin and the risotto complemented it well. Service was very friendly and hospitable. The ambiance was zen like (for a Thurs evening). My hub and I are so thrilled we discovered this local spot for quality Japanese food. Def will be returning. read more

Fresh and generous sushi portions in an intimate setting. We shared the Sushi for Two (chef's choice) and were very pleasantly surprised by how filling it was. Certain types of fish (as well as scallops and uni) are not available as part of this entree, but if you are a fan of tuna, yellowtail and salmon, this is a great choice. The tuna at Wabi Sabi deserves special mention - we had at least three different types of tuna in our Sushi for Two entree. Our service was very attentive and enjoyable to interact with. The only thing I would suggest is more space for each party... the restaurant is a bit tight with its table arrangements, and we ended up accidentally listening in on other tables' conversation and vice versa. BYOB. read more

My sister brought me here for omakase and I was REALLY impressed. First off, it's a cute little place in Bloomfield's downtown area. I wasn't expecting too much but was actually blown away. First time I ever tried truffle edamame. It was AMAZING. And SO SO ADDICTING! I was so into it I forgot to take a pic until I was 3/4 done with it. They also had truffle fries on their menu which was also very good. Only thing is I wish they used the thinner type of fries. Nonetheless, still super delish. We each got the omakase, around $80. They serve it sashimi style with a side of rice ball. Fish was extremely fresh & they give you some really good stuff! Toro, goldeneye snapper, uni, sweet shrimp to name a few. The rice ball was phenomenal. Brought back great childhood memories for me. It was so good I literally gulped it down super fast. Will def come back next time I'm in town. read more

Wabi Sabi this Tumiii This place surpassed my expectations. First impressions: service was very attentive, menu is pretty aesthetic with that Calibri font, and the decor really compliments the dining space. Maybe because we sat next to a tall plant and I'm delusional, who knows.. Anywaysss, the Sashimi Deluxe for two is a killer deal, and I always appreciate sushi places that give an 8 piece hand roll rather than 6. Wabi Sabi was very appreciated after serving amazingly fresh and tasty fish. That salmon will really melt in your mouth. And seriously, leave it up to the chefs to choose the two accompanying rolls, because I was going to substitute and I am so glad I didn't. The whole plate worked really nicely together, ate the sashimi then the nigiri then the rolls. With such great sushi, it was a perfect sequence of events if you ask me. Very worth the prices and very worth the drive that I will be making quite often :) read more

Truly excellent food. Extremely nice service staff,. Welcoming environment, food is extremely fresh

Came here at 5pm on a Tuesday. First customers inside, so we were seated quickly. First impression, the restaurant is decorated nicely and the ambiance is very relaxing - perfect for a date or a quiet dinner. Service was very quick and attentive - making sure our meal was up to expectations. Started off with the salmon carpaccio which was very fresh. Unfortunately, they were not serving otoro yet but can't wait to return to try it. For entrees, we tried their hot stone angus steak (cooked tableside), seafood udon soup, and the sashimi deluxe. Highly recommend the Angus steak - it's tender and can be cooked to your preference. Sashimi was very fresh, a nice variety of fish to try. Overall, will return to try more items from the menu, particularly their sushi. Whilst it's advertised as Japanese/French fusion, there weren't many French items elements to choose from, other than the duck confit and escargot. Probably not the go to place if you're craving French. read more

Followed Chef Nelson over here since he left the little spot in Newark (which, by the way, isn't as good as it used to be anymore..) Wabi Sabi is a cute restaurant in Bloomfield that has Japanese/French and Asian fusion influence. It's BYOB, but still a nice date night restaurant. It's kind of catered to the people who live in north jersey with special rolls and Asian fusion foods, but they still do have really fresh fish and some more purist sushi pieces (of toro, uni, king salmon, botan ebi, etc.) for those who are a fan. Those are priced high at $10+ per piece of sushi though. I've had a little bit of everything. From japanese influenced appetizers, to sushi, to Americanized special rolls, to entrees and steak on a stone. My favorite entrée was the scallop with uni mushroom risotto-- really perfectly done. The steak on a stone is a little bland in my opinion, even with the ponzu type of sauce it comes with. I loved the Bob's roll because it had a lot of really fresh salmon belly in it. I'd def say it's pricier than the two $$ suggests.. maybe 3 $$$. Overall, it's one of the few places in Jersey that actually has really really fresh fish and some of the better stuff. Doesn't disappoint. read more

I wanted to like Wabi Sabi. The decor and service is nice. Food is good... but not great for the expensive prices. We went for lunch on a weekend and it was not busy. The peanut butter dumplings lends an interesting flavor profile but the presentation was just boiled dumplings with sauce globbed on top, wasn't exactly the most appetizing but it tasted good. Rolls were a little small, noodles were okay. The biggest problem we had was the ridiculous noise that came from the kitchen. They were cleaning with a water vac I think but it was pretty terrible that a couple tables that came in ended up leaving before ordering. We also ordered food to go and it wasn't until 20 mins later that they told us that there was an incident in the kitchen so it would take another 15 minutes if we were okay with waiting because they were still cleaning up. read more

I seriously LOVE this place. Wabi Sabi has some of the best, freshest sushi I have ever had. I used to live really close to the restaurant and would order from there about once a week. I have now moved a little bit further away, but am more than happy to make the ~30 minute drive over to Bloomfield for their sushi. I have made every person who has come to visit me, go to Wabi Sabi, because of how amazing their sushi is. This sounds dramatic but I found Wabi Sabi during the pandemic and I would really look forward to eating there every week... the staff is so personable as well!! I have nothing but amazing things to say about Wabi Sabi. I saw that they are currently closed because of Ida and I am really really hoping that they are able to re-open soon. read more

Food is amazing with fresh tasting rolls. Service was a bit slow but very nice. Very quiet setting.

I climbed out of my Yelp coffin just to write this review and also to dream about taking a bath in Wabi Sabi's Pork Peanut Butter Dumplings. I know it doesn't sound very hygienic, but after making it through COVID, I really don't care. Fill the tub with the peanut butter sauce and toss the pork in, pronto! The service here is phenomenal - great food recommendations, extremely friendly, and highly attentive. And after not being inside of a restaurant for 18 months (I know, I have scaredy-cat issues), I would have taken just a warm sneer. The grilled squid with "let me drink this when I am done" dipping sauce was excellent, as was the real miso soup and the fresh toro. Real miso soup, meaning not your usual brand of dishwater you get served as an afterthought. The Sandwich ~ Smk/ Salmon, Crab, & Cracker was legit and that cracker is crispy rice. But the best of the night, and that's a tall order, was Bob's Roll (Spicy Salmon topped w/ Salmon Belly, Avocado, & Seared Salmon Belly) because of the texture, taste combo and just because...give me all the salmon belly, all day, every day. Although I was lost in a restaurant after being away for so long, Wabi Sabi coached me back to normalcy with open arms, friendliness, and food that I am still thinking about. read more

Lost for words on how incredibly well done the sushi and sashimi was made. Imports from Japan like the o toro and the specials like the sunflower roll are created like art pieces that will have you closest to what we can only imagine is fine Japanese cuisine. The hostess // waitress also made our experience that more pleasant and enjoyable than it already was. The miso soup is strong and flavorful as a it should be with the beautiful taste of added mushrooms . Highly recommended due to the fact my girlfriend and I left high off of the experience with literally a great taste left in our mouths. Bravo Wani Sabi. read more

An interesting fusion of Japanese and French cuisine. Really fresh and well-prepared sushi and sashimi, probably the best I've had in north Jersey. Their varied executions of escargot is a must try.
