“ Still the same great flavors! Wabi Sabi has been a long time favorite hibachi restaurant. There are others in the nearby vicinity with extra long wait times compared to Wabi Sabi. On the evening of Sunday 12/29/24 it was practically empty. The food was fresh and the server was on point with every detail to make our dining experience special (and fast). Parking is free in the adjacent lot. Easy access from foothill blvd and the 210 freeway. ”
