Wabi Sabi

This was a great Chinese restaurant! I loved their lunch specials. Unfortunately I think they are closed. They haven’t been open since this past November. I go to the CVS next to it all the time and its never open. Sad to see it go. Hopefully something else great will fill this location.

they have good lunch specials and the place is nice if you go to eat in, solid portions and the food tastes fresher than other similar places in the area. Every time i have been they have been friendly to me.

This place was just OK up until they lost their liquor license a year or so ago. Inside it’s dingy and the tables aren’t clean. The wait staff can barely speak English. I’ve been here four times in the past five years and each time its been out of sheer convenience since its so close to my brothers house. I would recommend you avoid this place.

This WAS the best Chinese in Paoli.
I think they are no longer there. No one answers either
Of their numbers

What a true Gem! A great Japanese Steakhouse. Myself, my husband, and our son decided on Hibachi. It was wonderful, I had the Chicken & Shrimp, my husband had Filet & Shrimp, our son had the Filet & Red Snapper, all were delicious and start off with a nice salad with that deliciously amazing creamy ginger dressing, fried rice and shrimp appetizer. Our Chef Sam was outstanding and so was the nice and attentive staff. We surely will return to this great establishment. Give Wabi Sabi a try you will not be disappointed! They have a great menu of Japanese Cuisine and Chinese Cuisine. It’s Highly Recommended.

The best sushi ever. Ichiban and Godzila rolls are out of this world. Great BYOB place

Ok… just your ordinary wasabi restaurant. Nothing special except that if you want Chinese, the other part of the restaurant serves Chinese

I ordered takeout of soup and eggrolls. the eggrolls were soooooo greasy there was ½ «of grease at the bottom of the little bag they were in~ in addition to the grease that seaped through the paper delivery bag. the soup was good, when i picked it up i asked if there was a spoon with soup and was told, «yes»…nope, no spoon inside. The greasiness of the eggrolls was the 2^nd and last time that has happened… i’m done with Wabi Sabi, there are other more consistent and better restaurants in the local area.

This is the third hibachi place I have tried since moving to PA and they are all so mediocre! My daughter and I came during the week and it was dead. We were the only 2 at the hibachi table. The cook was very nice and would make jokes with my daughter. The food was average… not bad but not great either. The server was very quiet and a little creepy. I’m just glad I used a BOGO coupon from the Entertainment book. That was an odd coupon too. It was BOGO for the hibachi dinners only but the max value was $ 12. All of the dinners were $ 18 or more. So, not really free, huh? I wouldn’t go back. I tried it and could have loved it. But I didn’t.

It’s been a Paoli staple for years, but has changed a lot over the past two years. Different faces appear when you show up. The service is off. The food quality is down.
Having dined at wabi for many years, I hope they can turn it around.

A very nice surprise in the food desert. We’re vegetarian and ordered the edamame, Agedashe tofu, Mock General Tso’s, and Mock Chicken with Peanuts. The Agedashe and the Mock Chicken were lightly battered tofu, delicately fried. Very tasty. The Mock General is very well done fried seitan. The sauces were not too heavy or sweet. They didn’t overwhelm you with too much rice on the side. We’ll definitely be going back to try more from the vegetarian menu.

2 — 3 star sushi (and teppanyaki/​hibachi tables in the back) with over-​load of sauces (get the sauce on the side) and mediocre fish. Seemed fresh enough but obviously frozen tamago and others. I actually got sick after I ate it. This might go to a 1 star review if I can figure out for sure that my gastric distress was from the fish.
Not a holy grail — but for $ 8.95 ($ 1 extra for ONE specialy maki) for the 2 maki lunch — with Miso Soup and Salad — it’s OK.
I had a yellowtail scallion roll and the «Rose» roll — spicy tuna inside with tuna on top.
Not Great.
In my opinion, Sushi Nami down the street is better.
And the place was so cold inside. (Hot green tea helped warm us up.)

I almost didn’t want to give this place a chance at first and I’ll tell you why.
So there is a lot more sushi competition nearby now, especially since Wegmans opened and Sushi Nami opened, along with other local places. I had been here once before years ago and liked it. I decided to give them a lunch try today just because.
I looked for the sushi lunch special. They offer two rolls from a select list for $ 8.95 with soup and salad. They let you substitute a specialty roll from another select list for $ 1 more. But the menu is confusing because they write it as «rolls» making me think that you could make two substitutions for $ 2 more.
Nope, I was told I could only substitute one. It’s not clear on the menu. I was slightly disappointed.
So at this point, leaving here and going up the street to Sushi Nami crossed my mind because there I could get the 3 roll deal for $ 11.95. I knew I could fill up there. I don’t mind spending a couple more bucks. I just like getting more value for it.
But I decided to stay, and I went for their special. Chose a spicy tuna roll, and a Wabi Sabi roll, which had both salmon and spicy tuna with crab stick and avocado. The deal was $ 9.95.
I now see their side of it. The opportunity to get one specialty roll like the Wabi Sabi at lunch for $ 9.95 with the other additions is worth it.
As far as the overall quality of the sushi, it’s as good as anything I’ve had. That Wabi Sabi roll was bigger than I thought it would be and satisfied me more than I thought. The flavor combo was perfect for my tastes. The spicy tuna roll itself could be a little more spicy for my tastes, but still very good. Salad and soup both had quality flavor. I have no complaints.
To think I almost left, and they won me over. Well played, Wabi Sabi. Well played!

We come here for thehomemade ginger dressing. Its the best EVER! All other dishes we get are fresh flavorful and yummy! Tepenyaki is also fun w a group!

Good sushi, decent prices. If you’ve got that sushi craving, this will definitely do.

I’ve been to Wabi Sabi a handful of times. I want to give this place the benefit of the doubt since both the Chinese and Japanese food is fine, but the service is terrible. The last time I was there, our party of five waited fifteen minutes for glasses of water. The waitress messed up our order twice, first bringing out the wrong dish, and then bringing out an extra sushi roll that she claimed we ordered. The waitress didn’t return to refill our waters and I ended up going to the service station to get the water pitcher myself. I asked twice for spicy sauce and never got it. We also wanted plates for our entrees, but we gave up on the idea.

The service was good, but i was disappointed with their lunch menu. Their sushi was way over priced so we didn’t even bother ordering any. Nice feel to the restaurant but no music. I felt like all the customers could listen to what i was talking about. Good bento box prices though. Maybe just stick to take out.

Sushi isn’t bad at all. I really liked the American Dream with avocado, shrimp tempura and eel and the spicy king crab roll (love the crunch!). I wouldn’t put them on the same par as Bluefin or Ajihei but it’s a good option for sushi if you are close by. They also have Chinese but I have never tried that. Service was very fast.

Wabi Sabi is kindof like two restaurants in one. When you walk in, you’re asked if you’re here for Chinese or Hibachi. We were seated in the regular Chinese section. It’s nice that you can order alcohol, the house Pinot Nior was decent.
For dinner I had miso soup, a salad and two sushi rolls. The miso soup and salad were average. The Spicy King King Crab Maki was very tasty, although it wasn’t spicy at all. The shrimp and cucumber roll was ok. I probably wouldn’t order that again, it didn’t taste like much. The atmosphere is ok, except for all the cheers and yelling coming over from the hibachi area. Not where I would take a date for a quiet romantic dinner.
Being relatively close to my house, I would probably come back here for takeout in the future. For dining in I prefer East Cuisine in Ambler.

Wabi-​Sabi is a Japanese steakhouse and sushi bar, open seven days a week. There’s lots of seating and they’re pleasantly decorated. Their menu offers a lot of plates, including hibachi, sashimi, teriyaki, and tempura. They serve Chinese cuisine too, but I’ve only had their Japanese dishes. Last I was here, I had their beef and scallops with vegetables which were delicious. Since it was lunchtime, I didn’t get any cocktails (sake is also available). Service is fast.
Recommended for a tasty, reasonably-​priced lunch. Find them on Route 30 in Paoli.
