Warabi

🎄I was excited to try Warabi’s weekday omakase ($185pp) during the 6 PM session on Christmas Eve, but unfortunately, the experience fell short of expectations. 🍣The entire dinner felt very rushed—we started promptly at 6 PM and were done around 7PM. With two chefs presenting dishes simultaneously, it felt chaotic. Before I could fully savor or appreciate the flavors, the next piece of sushi was already served. Additionally, the setup made it difficult to see what the second chef was doing, which detracted from the experience. 🌟On the positive side, the ingredients were fresh, but the flavors didn’t particularly stand out. My favorite dish was the eel hand roll, which was genuinely enjoyable. As for the optional add-ons, no one from our session opted for them, as they didn’t seem enticing enough to justify the extra cost. In comparison, I’ve had much better experiences at similar price points, such as at Ronin, which I would recommend over this. I’ve heard good things about Warabi’s weekend omakase, maybe that is something that we could consider in the future 😆

Warabi has been on my must-visit list for quite some time. I finally decided to give it a shot. I was torn between the ‘Impression’ menu at $285 pp on Fridays and Saturdays and the ‘Sushi Omakase’ option available from Tuesday to Thursday for $185. The price difference was significant, and I didn’t have much information to guide my decision, but when I saw an opening for a Saturday evening, I took the plunge. I believe the Impression menu features more unique dishes, while the Omakase focuses on sushi. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed the Impression menu, which included a variety of dishes beyond just sushi, showcasing a diverse range of flavours. The sushi itself was fresh and generously portioned. The only minor downside was the steep price, and I found myself wishing for a bit more. Additionally, we had to wait for latecomers, which isn’t typical for an omakase experience. Usually, the meal starts at a set time, and late arrivals are served the dish that everyone else is up to. However, we had to wait for them, which pushed our meal quite late into the night.

Absolutely loved the experience We did the fine dining option and it was definitely worth it. Had a variety of different selected foods made right in front of us and enjoyed every moment. Beautiful food, amazing experience

Intimate omakase dining where the chef interacts and showcases their knife skills . There is no a la carte menu , just a set menu . If I compare the price to Minamishima , Warabi has more courses and you are full and don’t need to have supper.
