    Had a great time. The waitress was more than patient with friends and I. One of them had diet restrictions and she patiently gave us time to figure out how the menu would work for her. The seating and lights where stunning and food was really good. To our surprise, we came on a day they did karaoke and had a lot of fun before heading out. We stayed much longer than we thought we would. Love the free parking. Cute little quaint area. Would definitely go back for the try all menu.

    Nigiri and sashimi is top quality. Every else was surprisingly pretty bad. Pad Thai, Rick James roll, even the baked crab roll suffered…and so did we.

    Overall, it's a really cute little date spot with lovely ambiance and decor. However, it falls short in the food category, which, to me, is the most important. We ordered several different entrees, as well as an appetizer and dessert. The best items for me were the steak skewers and the Japanese whiskey pudding. They were delicious but indicative of a larger issue. If my favorite dishes at a sushi restaurant were non-sushi items, what does that say about the sushi? Not to mention, of course, the food was priced fairly heavily especially relative to its average quality. I will say the service was wonderful, and both the server and hostess were very kind. However, overall, Wabi on Rose represents an issue I have with many "cute" restaurants in LA, particularly on the west side—they're all style and no substance.
