What people say, in short
Many diners recommend Wabi Sabi, one praises the sashimi, and another says the fish is fresh. One describes it as a tiny spot, while another loves the traditional nigiri, inventive rolls and chirashi bowls. One calls the lunch special a strong value, and another says it costs more but overdelivers for sushi. One mentions a newer Nob Hill branch, and one diner who did not much enjoy it suggests it may have been an off night.
