Was going to an italian spot nearby, but couldnt accept credit. Saw this spot decided to come in. Meet by a great waitress and hostess, Summer. Bright, polite, professional, great recommendations, checked on an entree item to see the ingredients of 4oz vegan steak. We opted for tempura string beans (got to say with southern accent). Cavatelli alfredo pasta no meat. Meet the chef, Dominique who represented the culinary art well. Remoulade sauce was good on string beans. The art decour and ambiance are beautiful. read more

When i came to pick up the food, they were nice! Everything was ready and there were no issues. I ordered the crab catch, dragon roll, sabi roll and crab ragoons. I paid 78.61 for it all.... And i will say that over all i dont think it was worth that amount. The crab catch was okay, my favorite thing that i ate was the dragon roll. It was good. However the sabi roll did not have much flavor. Now i did pick up my order like 20 mins late! So im not sure if that plays a roll but over all the flavor for things wasnt there. The crab ragoons were okay as well. For the price, i dont see myself eating anything else from here. There are better sushi options out there, but they were nice and im definantly not trying to bash them! Maybe it was just an off day? read more

The best thing about this place is the decor, the vibe is great. On a Tuesday night, it was quiet and cozy. We had a party of 7 and we all ordered different things from pasta to sandwiches and sushi. 1. The Cajun pasta was ordered and served without the chicken. We brought it to the waiters attention and he checked the kitchen and came back with the chicken and apologized saying they forgot to add it. 2. We ordered 2 martinis and they were mediocre. Can't say much about it except the espresso martini was not like others I've had in the past. 3. A total of 3 sushi rolls were ordered and 2 came out at the same time. The last roll was the last plate to arrive at our table about 10 mins after the very first plate arrived. As a family we usually don't eat unless everyone has their food first, this was a minor inconvenience for us. 4. I personally ate the kickin salmon and manhattan rolls. Something wasn't right as 15 mins after leaving the restaurant it all came back up. I mention those 2 rolls specifically because I'm the only one that ate those and the only one who got sick. 5. If you order any meal that has rice, be warned they use sushi rich for their regular dishes too. Two people ordered one chicken dish and one fish dish and both were served with sushi rice. 6. THEY DO NOT HAVE SUSHI SALMON. They use SMOKED salmon. As a salmon sushi lover that was the most disappointing part. Overall, not authentic sushi. Kitchen is hit or miss apparently. The only ones who enjoyed their meals were the people who got sandwiches. Waiter was attentive but did need to be called over a few times. He got his 18% automatically for the size of our party. Also bring cash, there is a percentage based fee for card transactions, about $6 for our $132 bill. read more

Came here really looking forward to trying a specific sushi roll, but unfortunately, they didn't have it. They did have a nice wine selection, which I enjoyed. The menu had limited vegetarian options, which was a bit disappointing. The highlight of the visit was definitely the service, our waiter was super friendly and attentive. Overall, it was just okay. Not bad, but not in a rush to come back. read more

Food service was excellent our server was summer she provided excellent customer service and great hospitality... food presentation was good ... seating was good only flaw I have is the soil sauce is very salty read more

Went here with a friend for the first time. There are two sides to sit on in this restaurant, and we sat on the side by the entrance. We were greeted promptly and drink orders taken. Our waitress was nice and pleasant. I ordered the Philly steak wrap with fries covered in crab dip. MDP ordered a Poké bowl with tuna. He said it was really good. The steak wrap was ok. However, it lacked cheese and any type of sauce. It seems the menu doesn't specify. It comes with cheese, but when you read Philly steak you just assume cheese as well and it was pretty dry. The fries were delicious. I couldn't taste any crab in the crab dip that was poured over the fries, but I loved the sauce that also accompanied the crab dip. I believe the waitress said it was a Thai chili sauce or something. She even gave me a little cup of it to take home. It was delicious. But the fries almost had too much crab dip on top of it, and the fries became too mushy to eat. It was like eating a little bit of fry with a lot of dip Overall, it was a nice experience. I think I would just get something else next time. read more

Great Service and Excellent Food. My family and I always enjoy going here. Highly recommend.

This place has really gone downhill. Ordered a few starters to split including salads , potstickers , and loaded crab fries. Potsticker and LCF came out first , both were completely cold. Flagged down the gentleman who had initially brung the items to our table and informed him of the issue. He ask if we would like the dishes remade after he has touched the food to feel how cold the items were. About ten mins or less the plates are returned to our table , it is obvious the plates have both been placed in the microwave. When asking this question of the staff we didn't really receive a response our waitress came shortly after questioning if our food had been remade or resolved. Instead of offering solution or explanation we just sat there disgusted and our issues unacknowledged. We requested our check , paid $26 for 2 sodas and a salad and left to never return again. Let's not forget the tables are not even or study any slight tilt of table and there goes your anything on the table. If I could leave negative stars I would. read more

Have been there a few times. Open mic nights are usually good. However the greatest band ever Sick Of Society Plays there from time to time. So make sure to catch them, I hear they amplify the taste of the food there. service is good too, and the food comes out nice and hot, just like Elijah Sick Of Society's drummer ;). read more

We came to Wabi Sabi for lunch yesterday. Everything we order was great we order the loaded crab fries (soooo good) & several sushi rolls. The sushi was creative & delivious. The customer service was great everyone was very nice & the atmosphere was great. I love that the old buildings are being redone & used. read more

Food, service, MIXED DRINKS and ambience was very good. It does have a great energy and vibe. Their mixed drink menu is fantastic- unique and creative. I am not a big sushi eater, but I would try it there since the variety looked incredible. It all sounded like chef-created specialties- normally sushi seems to have the same old types, but the combinations on the menu looked creative. (If I recall correctly, and again- I don't normally eat sushi!!!) I could have sworn there were some sushi with fruit in it? I will check the menu and verify, lol). It was obvious that all the sushi was being prepared fresh and to order. We appreciated that when we walked in the sushi chef told us that the kitchen and sushi bar was running behind, she said the sushi bar was an hour and a half behind because they had run out of rice. She said the kitchen was slightly behind. I appreciated the transparency! Some places don't tell you what is going on and pretend everything is fine while you wait and wait. I appreciated the ability to make that choice for ourselves. We were fine with the kitchen said to be running behind, but by the time I decided to order, we didn't notice any delay- the dishes came up promptly. The food was very good- I had the lamb chops that seemed to have a citrus rice (and there was some kiwi puree somewhere in the rice or lamb chops. My significant other got the andouille sausage pasta tasted really, really rich and heavy, (it was too much for me( but the finely, thinly cut "lollipop style" lamb chops were nicely braised (?) in herbs with the citrus rice, and felt light and tasty. The lobster/crab fries were great, too. read more

Came to this hole in the wall on a total whim and couldn't stop discussing over dinner how rare it is to like a restaurant that we choose randomly. Our server Peter was super friendly and knowledgeable. He let us know the restaurant was out of some things from the holiday weekend, which I took to be a good sign and it was! At his recommendation we got the Korean BBQ for our appetizer and loved it. It was literally so delicious-- we got a lot of smaller-sized but crisp-ily delicious bone-in wings (over 10) for $13. I got a shrimp tempura roll with cucumber and loved it, although they did fall apart easily. My guess is because I only got two items, so it was abnormally small. My boyfriend got the ss tuna roll deep fried and thought it was amazing. Also at Peter's suggestion we ordered the apple cheesecake and although we haven't eaten it yet, it looks amazing and smells even better . read more

Wabi Sabi - Tempura Shrimp roll with cucumber and SS tuna roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Petersburg, Virginia

This place was a train wreck. Fish quality was extremely poor. I had salmon and yellowtail sashimi and both were slimy, the roll was small and barely held together. The waitress first brought me smoked salmon sashimi, instead of fresh like I ordered. I asked for no onions on the roll, of course there was onions. The craziest part is that this place was very expensive! I am really praying I do not get sick. I had high hopes but was extremely disappointed. You couldn't pay me to come back here. Ive been to Japan 4 times and eat sushi on a more than weekly basis, this is the worst I have ever had. Wish 0 stars was an option. read more

I called to see when they closed ..they said 9:00 walked through the door after driving 275 miles at 8:46 and they wouldn't serve us...

This is a great place to stop and get a drink and get your sushi fix. We ordered the She Crab Soup, edamame, seaweed salad, salt and pepper calamari and ahi tuna entrée. read more

My party of ten had a decent time at Wabi Sabi. The building is older and has a quaint aesthetic. There are multiple areas that have many options to dine in including a Martini Bar with live music, downstairs has a bar and quieter ambiance. The service was decent. The drinks came but took a while to get together. The food was served to us slowly and each diner had to wait several minutes in between drop-offs. Several hot dishes were served Luke warm to cold. We had to send the lamb chop Lollie's back because they were cold. The sushi is delicious but it was all delivered near the end of the meal. Overall drinks were great, food was decent but cold, and the service could have been more organized. read more

The most unique sushi rolls in the Petersburg area! My daughter and I were told to give this place a chance and it didn't disappoint! Narita (Chester) USED to be my fave, but Wabi Sabi has officially blown that out of the water! The variety and creativity in their rolls are top tier. Also. the spicy injection of Cajun fare is inspired! We purchased eight different rolls based in the recommendation of our server. Each one was fantastic! You will not be disappointed! read more

I always order the lollipop lambchops here and some sushi but I was shocked when they brought this out... never again as these where way smaller than they usually are and they where not nearly as thick.. when I say small I mean like thin porkchops... shame on them. Cost going up and quality going way down. First the shrinking crab dip portion size now the lambchops. Save yourself time and eat somewhere else. read more

Really enjoyed coming here for my first time eating sushi. I'm not really a fan of undercooked anything so I tried The Who Dat Roll with tilapia, crawfish, asparagus and spicy Mayo... SO GOOD! Will come back to try more. Will say, my friend tried the curry and was not a fan at all. Very bland. Ambience was great, our service was poor. The waitress came to our table of 3 maybe once and the place barely had people in it. We had to wave down one of the men to take our order after waiting forever. read more

Absolutely the best hot lump crab dip!! You have to try it. Love their spicy tuna roll

The food doesn't taste good and is expensive. The rice was hard the cucumber was also hard to the point it was hard to chew. I got two rolls, on both rolls you could tell which pieces were the ends because those pieces were just rice and seaweed. Very disappointing. read more

So disappointed in this place. I had a craving for sushi, and after choosing Wabi Sabi, I definitely should have gone somewhere else! It was one customer seated when we walked in, so there was no wait. It smelled like vinegar as soon as we hit the door. We sat and ordered our drinks. I had the shrimp tempura roll and the spicy crab roll along with the crab dip appetizer. The sushi was not good! It was bland and very chewy. The spicy crab wasn't spicy at all and the shrimp tempura ''twas kind of soggy. The crab dip was good (hence the one star). The waitress wasn't too friendly, and quite frankly a bit rude. My friend got 3 refills of her tea before I got a refill of my water, which I had to ask for! I probably won't ever go back and don't recommend this place. read more

The service was great and the draft selection was great, the sushi was so so at beast, the ambiance is off, it's dark and weird seating. I got the spicy salmon roll and it was so over loaded with spicy Mayo you couldn't taste anything else. It's very important that Nigiri is super cold in my opinion and I was off put by the temperature of the salmon. read more

So the ratings are pretty fair for this place. It has a lot going for it. Nice ambiance, friendly staff, and good service. The food was just ok and unremarkable. On the downside, the value is very poor. For instance, I ordered hamachi rolls and for $7 they were so small there was hardly anything there to eat. Also, for the few items we ordered, it took forever for food to come out. They admitted they forgot to put our order in the computer. "Sorry!" was about all they could do. Not enough positives for a repeat trip. read more

Would put 0 stars if I could. Do NOT come here for food or water. Water has the weirdest after-taste and present-taste. Taste like they sprinkle raw ass flakes in the water prior to serving. The Bagel Roll we ordered was okay I guess, DO NOT ORDER THE EEL SAUCE. It tastes sour when, if you know what eel sauce tastes like, SHOULD NOT BE SOUR. Spicy Tuna Roll was not spicy and didnt have any flavor what so ever, even after they add seasoning on top of it! Im scared for my stomach post-consumption and Im warning yall stay away from this joint. They're live band was lit tho, but they look creepy as hell. read more

First time at Wabi-Sabi, my new favorite place. The presentation of the food was excellent, compliments to the chef, Tempura, Sabi, Smoked Salmon and Ahi Tuna rolls were mind blowing good. We enjoyed the Fuji Apple and Peach Blossom Sake. We had two servers and they were both excellent, Christopher stood out more so, he was so accommodating we thought he was Management. And the price for everything was value added for how much we ordered. read more

So we just got out, and the place is really cute, like hole in the wall typeshit. When you search it up on google it says sushi but going inside that's not their specialty at all. We order it anyways and it is good sushi wise, but we waited for our food for like two HOURS. Our waiter I believe mentioned he said he was new but like no sushi should take two hours to prepare it wasn't THAT good. The place was empty, I think he mentioned saying he hadn't put in our order and I did try being as nice as possible but when I saw a table who came in way after us I got pissed off for real I'm not sure again it wasn't bad just wouldn't go again. read more

Service was slow, never refilled water and sushi was meh... Lots of rice, not much fish. Not recommended unless you're dying for some sushi and you have no other options. read more

After reading through some of the reviews and being in the area I thought I would stop by to check out this place. I chose a time when I thought that it would not be busy and so my service was quick. Wait staff was somewhat pleasant though they could've been a little bit more happy. Sushi was on par with what I get at Kroger, but for 3x the cost. The exception to this was the tuna which itself would have been a 4/5 stars, and the only reason this review is a three instead of a two star review. Looks like on weekends it might be a fun hipster bar but I'll probably check out another sushi place if I'm in the area again. Note that if you get water with your meal, it tastes as if they went out back and got it from the river, but with ice. read more

Sat down at restaurant and had water brought to the table, both glasses has black specs floating around in them. I am assuming it is from not cleaning their ice machine. We brought it to the waitresses attention and she didn't even apologize, we promptly left. Can't speak to her the quality or cleanliness of the food. read more

If I could give a 0 I could . The waitress was rude and over charged me for items . The spicy sushi was so spicy my throat was on fire and then she refused to take it off my tab . She wasn't attentive and didn't give us our food that we had set aside to go . She then read more

Really great sushi! Tempura spicy tuna and surf and turf rolls are to die for. A great spot to eat in or pick up takeout!
