“Just get the Black spider maki and Red zebra maki you can’t go wrong. Okay this is something I noticed the server was busy but he tried the best to get to us. Such a hard working individual. The sushi was to die for not sure how we ended up choosing this place but no regrets! Don’t forgot to try the Lava Stone appetizer just deliciously crunchy and warm! You’ll love it here just be patient with staff..”
“Great experience! Food was great and service was also! Definitely coming back!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wabi Sabi is such a solid spot for Japanese comfort food. The crispy fried sushi bites are amazing—crunchy outside, soft inside, with a perfectly balanced spicy topping. The ramen is rich, creamy, and super satisfying, with tender pork and great depth of flavor. Everything feels well-made and thoughtfully put together. Definitely a place I’d come back to. Highly recommend 🍜🍣”
“The food was delicious! They accommodated my food allergy without compromising on the taste or appearance of the meal. The waitress was attentive and kind and overall we had a great time and a delicious filling meal! Will be back!”
“Had a nice little lunch here by myself! There have lunch specials but I didn't get it this time around. I got a Spicy Tonkotsu ramen and it was very yummy and a simple crab meat roll. Both were excellent and fresh and exactly the pick me up I needed! I wanna come back and try more from the menu!”
“THIS IS THE MOST UNDERRATED RAMEN PLACE IN CHICAGO!!! So good, you have to order the spicy garlic miso ramen and shrimp tempura rolls. One of the best rolls I have ever tried. I cannot stop eating from here 🤣🤣🤣”
“I couldn't breathe after devouring my ramen. In a good way.”
“If you need a quick ramen and sushi fix, this place can do it. You don't need to go somewhere trendy and over price. Wabi Sabi food is tasty and reasonably priced. I've tried the shoyu and tonkotsu ramen and various nirgir and maki. They were all delicious.”
