Went to the place and got the staff recommended Wabi Sabi Poke Bowl. The appetizer was cream cheese fried wontons. Loved how they made them fresh! The poke bowl did have some good flavor. However, I was a bit underwhelmed with the quality of tuna. There wasn't much complexity to the dish. The place is known for their ramen. So I would go for that next. Ambience is like a vintage oriental hut. Not much seating but a good place to do a casual date. read more

Wabi Sabi - Wabi sabi poke bowl - Sushi Bars Near Me - Rochester, Minnesota

I still think about this spot! I wish I could have ate at the location as it was well decorated. Unfortunately, they were only doing take-out due to being under staffed. It was a really cold evening and I wasn't sure where to go, I'm not from the area so I looked up where to grab something warm. No regrets, it was delicious. I ordered a ramen bowl and Thai bubble tea, both items were good and price was reasonable. The person that took my order was so friendly and we had a quick convo while he prepared my ramen. I loved everything about this little spot, if I'm ever in Rochester again I'll definitely stop by. read more

We Went to Wabi Sabi for Korean Chicken 8/12/2025 12:15 Lunch Jadon waited on us. He made the experience really lovely. He described the Korean chicken sauces, as we were not sure which ones we would prefer. Our three hosts were all so very welcoming. Auntie seated us. Nephew came to the table to ask how we liked our meal, we talked with him at length. Jadon was so polite and gracious, he really made the whole experience shine. The food was delicious! We looked up Korean Chicken in Rochester, not expecting to find any locations. As recently, having enjoyed Korean Chicken at several well-known Korean chains locations in Naperville, with heavy Asian population, and a west suburb of Chicago. The Wabi Sabi menu was really extensive for soups, Pho, the house known locally for their Ramen, Spring rolls and egg rolls, potstickers, Katsu, fried rices, bowls, Chinese dishes, and combinations thereof, a very long detailed four-page menu. I could eat here many times, trying delicious and different dishes each time. They also offered boba drinks of many fruit flavors. The dining area is small, quaint, and beautifully decorated...three tables and six additional individual counter seats, and also take out. We enjoyed eating there very much. I recommend you to try this spot. Wabi Sabi will become a favorite dining location. We found a spot that we will return to. read more

Excellent and interesting food and reasonable prices for a nice Asian Fusion meal. Worth the drive to the east end of town.

Hot and sour soup is the best in town! I have had it several times and it is always very good. I stopped in today to get some for takeout and he made it fresh while I was waiting. read more

Hidden gem. It's across the street from Cub Foods. I had the (choose two) sushi bowl - I chose avocado tofu and smoked salmon It was delicious! Husband had fried sesame tofu with rice and broccoli on the side-also yum. We went at 1 o'clock, so it was after the lunch rush. It's a smaller place, very clean and the host/chef/waiter was so friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back read more

As soon as I saw the cook I knew the meal was going to be authentic ... and it was marvelous. Totally recommend anything you can't go wrong with any of the flavor ...Service was very warm and welcoming and the host was very attentive to our needs. Very quaint and cozy wish I saw more people because it deserves to be dined in. read more

Went to the skyway location. Ahi tuna poke bowl was mostly shredded carrots, radish, and cabbage. Not very many ingredients. If i wanted a salad i would've gone to Salad Brothers. Staff was nice and food came out reasonably quickly. Maybe their other food is good. read more

Blown away by there spicy seafood noodles everything was so fresh and delicious also ordered a dragon roll and it was massive and tasted great (no way I can finish it by myself) highly recommend read more

There's a wonderful selection of different poke bowls. Both my husband's & mine, Wabi Sabi Poke Bowl and Ahi Poke Sushi Rice Bowl, were delicious! Our comparison is with Crave's which is good but institutional in comparison. Miso soup was perfect comfort food. The tofu was fresh. We will return. read more

New to town and have been trying to find a great sushi spot, and have found it! The kindest of service from a family run business, awesome menu selection that was so hard to choose from all the great looking options. Definitely will become a regular here given everything I want to still try. read more

Wabi Sabi - Salmon Avocado poke bowl - Sushi Bars Near Me - Rochester, Minnesota

We drove 60 miles to try this ramen. The seafood ramen didn't disappoint! The broth was very flavorful. The veggies and seafood were a perfect match! We did go for the "make it spicy" option. The chili oil topped it off well. Oh! And the egg rolls!!! Chef's kiss! Hands down best flavor-bursting egg rolls we have ever had! Would, honestly, go back just for the egg rolls! The service was commendable. Very nice, courteous, and happy to have us try their food. We ordered take-out, but they do have a few tables inside as well as outside. Sorry we didn't take photos. We were too excited and hungry to get the phones out! read more

I cant even say how excited I was to see this open on the SE side of Rochester. A great addition to the area. The menu has Noodle Soups to Sushi Rice Bowl. Plenty of different appetizers. From Wings to Fried Tofu and Egg Roll Lettuce Wraps . They also have Healthy Salad Bowls, Stir Fry's and different Fried Rices combinations. They offer 5 different types of Ramen Noodle Soups from Miso to Shoyu . Even the Pho Noodle Sou has 5 different variations. On my first visit I enjoyed the Egg Roll Lettuce Wraps . Seems a fusion to two great starters. They were crunch and had great flavor . The duck dipping sauce was a great pair. I also enjoyed the Spicy Tuna Rice Bowl $9. It had plenty of Tuna, lots of Rice , Carrots and cabbage . The Rice was Perfectly cooked . This place is very small and I could see filling up quick . I ordered out which might also be a great idea. I look forward to bringing my wife next time . read more

Great food. Friendly service. Good variety. Small cozy restaurant I will definitely go back.

Delicious meal! We had the tofu pho, Korean wings, and tempura shrimp rice bowl. Highly recommended! The owner was welcoming and attentive. I was especially impressed with the wings which were hot from the cooker and super fresh. We will certainly be back to this spot. read more

If you are reading this right now trying to decide where to eat, ponder your decision no more. The most delicious Asian food I have had in a long time. Will not disappoint, huge but flavorful portions for cheap. We started our meal with the egg roll lettuce wraps which is essentially two egg rolls cut in half ($4) and they were amazing, served on a leaf of romaine and with sweet chili dipping sauce. I ordered a Thai bubble tea, also delicious ($4) For our mains I had the pork ramen and my boyfriend had the sweet soy chicken ramen. Massive bowls, one serving could feed two people or one large man. Each only $10 packed with an assortment of marinated ramen eggs, mushrooms, carrots etc. Delicious chewy noodles and broths you want to bathe in. We also ordered some chicken fried rice, with amazing flavor profile of a well seasoned wok, the Smokey aromatic rice with plenty of vegetables and tender chicken. Amazing. Massive portion enough to have as a side for 5 adults. Only $10. Our bill came to $39 with enough leftovers for an entire other meal. Service was amazing. The atmosphere is cozy, small dining space perfect for a noodle shop. On the south side of town in a rougher area (as rough as rochester can get which isn't bad at all) The ramen we had was perfect for the negative degree weather we were having. Will have to come back for more and also try out the poké bowls and healthy bowls. We ate up the food so fast I didn't even get pictures of it all. Do not skip this place. Amazing amazing amazing. read more

Wabi Sabi - Tonkotsu (pork) Ramen, amazing. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Rochester, Minnesota

Not much for atmosphere, but the food is good. I had the beef fo, delish. Service was very attentive too.

The food here is fresh and delicious. We get takeout from here every time we're at Mayo, after trying many restaurants in Rochester. We've seen the owner cook the food from scratch., which was entertaining. He puts a lot of love into cooking and pride in serving good food. We like both the sushi and vegetarian options. read more

We stopped here for lunch while waiting on a family member to come out of surgery at the Mayo Clinic. It was a delicious meal, and the service was wonderful. If I lived in Rochester, I would come here ALL THE TIME. I got the spicy yellow tail salad bowl, and it was perfection. My dad got the beef with broccoli and also really liked it--very fresh and not overly salty like this dish can sometimes be. read more

The go to pho place. I'd write a review about something else, but in 3 meals in 3 weeks, all I had was the beef pho, it was just that good. The owner is super cool and solicitous of the wellbeing of his dinners. Great little place for lunch or dinner. read more

This place, it is a noodle place and a poke bowl place all wrapped up into one tiny little shop. We have been 3 times in 3 weeks. Udon? Yes! Pho? Yes! Spicy salmon sushi bowl? Yes!! And the prices? Amazing! Seriously the size of the dishes are large, very large and the prices are stellar, you should go, and go now! read more

My boyfriend and I went to Wabi Sabi for the first time. It was absolutely DELICIOUS!! The people there are so friendly! We will definitely be going back!! read more

I've ordered food from wabi-sabi (takeout) Beef Fried Riceand it's delicious, I definitely recommend it!

We were in the mood for sushi but found this place and realized we were in the mood for rice bowls! We enjoyed spicy shrimp and the spicy yellowtail rice bowls. We also had the egg roll lettuce wrap. Everything was fresh and delicious. The fresh coconut was prepared when my husband picked up the order. If you are a fan of fresh, raw coconut juice - you must get one here. Reminds me of our trip to Indonesia years ago where we drank fresh coconut juice on the beach! read more

We were looking for a really good ramen in town and We found this place. WoW, the ramen my wife had was so good. She loves it. And I had the bowl with spicy tuna and tofu avocado, love it. The hot and sour soup they make, very different from the on we had, love it also. The chicken is so crunchy and delicious even without the sweet and sour sauce. We will definitely be back to taste the rest. Their ramen is the real ramen not like what we had in some places here that has no flavor at all. Their service is good. Not gonna say fast because you gotta understand, they are preparing the food. It's not a long wait donn't worry. Decent price, not gonna complain. From the North side and we will come back read more

I usually will look up reviews before I eat anywhere. I look for allot of reviews with a 4-5 star value and usually will go there. This day, I chose because I liked the name ( Wabi Sabi...that's catchy) and the pictures that were shown from another review. I can't tell you how glad I am that we did that. There were 4 of us and each of us tried something different. The owner was on site. He was very friendly and able to tell us about each menu item that we inquired about. The owner on site was definitely a 5 Star treat. He was also Very Apologetic that each menu item would cost an additional $1 over the menu price. He explained about rising costs and not being able to get the new menus yet. Definitely not an issue and understandable. I ordered a ramen white soup with Pork...do not remember the name. So flavorful. I loved the eggs in it and just the broth on its own was quite tasty. The veggies were perfect as well, not over cooked as in some soups. I also ordered the appetizer of spicy chicken jalapeños. Hopefully that was the name. OMGOSH...so good! I would give anything to have the sauce recipe. Nom! The chicken was not overcooked nor undercooked. My husband had a seafood dish with the mound of rice. The Scallops and Calamari were again cooked to perfection! 2 items that are quite often overcooked and then are chewy. He liked the sauce because it wasn't a sweet sauce. Our son had the potstickers with chicken. Sorry, I didn't ask much about his, but the presentation definitely a 5 Star presentation. Our daughter-in-law had a rice bowl with tempura dipped shrimp. I did taste the shrimp from her dish and again, cooked perfectly. Another item that can easily become chewy if overcooked. I would just like to say the pictures I saw on the review that LURED me out of my comfort zone were very accurate along with their review! Presentation 5 Star Friendliness of Staff 5 Star Consistency from other reviews 5 Star Cleanliness 5 Star Execution of the cook: 5 Star plus! read more

The best sushi bowl, myself and my fiancé have ever had in our lives. The ambiance is very intimate and the restaurant is very small, but don't let that dissuade you. The server was super friendly, knowledgeable and the owner is so friendly and thanked us several times for coming. I recommend the shrimp tempura bowl and the spicy jalapeño wings are to die for as well. My fiancé had the Wabi Sabi bowl and he can't stop talking about it . LOL read more
