We visited WABI SABI a week ago expecting a delicious meal. What we actually got was extraordinary.
Melt-in-your-mouth wagyu beef, a seabed sculpture made from tempura langoustines, delicate clams in an exquisite broth, and then the best part of all...miso-glazed black cod. Sweet, smoky, meaty - we all agreed (even our chef friend), that it was one of the best things we'd ever tasted. Then for dessert we had an incredible matcha tiramisu with fermented rice ice cream that I'm still dreaming about.
Perfect service, the finest ingredients and Michelin quality food. We will be talking about this place for many years to come.
Brilliant restaurant..exceptionally friendly, fantastic food the 'chrystalised' chilli oil is unique to this place...would buy it by the jar if I could...and they're so dog friendly...brought our pooch a couple of biscuits on a plate with napkin & her own water bowl...lovely touch. Highly recommend it.
Visited Wabi Sabi for my birthday on the 6th April and had such a lovely evening. We had the tasting menu which was just amazing and so beautifully presented - well worth the price. The atmosphere and music was relaxing and the waitress was brilliant!
With out a doubt the most enjoyable meal out I have ever experienced.
Can’t wait to go back 😊Thank you
Every time we visit Lake District we always pay Wabi Sabi a visit. The food and service is fantastic and it’s an absolute incredible experience. I can’t recommend this place enough.
An absolutely fantastic addition to the Ambleside restaurant scene. We make regular trips to the Lake District from London and I can honestly say that the ramen we had is better that any ramen I've ever had in London - and I've tried many places! The ramen stocks are out of this world. Also had amazing sake cocktails which you must try. Free noodle and soup refills too. Absolutely our best meal this time. Good choice for veggies too.
We live locally and Wabi Sabi Noodle Bar is the most wonderful addition to the South lakes restaurant scene. Totally amazing ramen - fantastic broth! Yesterday we also had the sushi platter, out of this world, so much better than any I've had in the UK. The lovely waitress even grated the wasabi root at the table. LOVE this place. My ten year old son is possibly more hooked than I am.
Excellent! The waitress was wonderful - very friendly and welcoming. The food was exquisite. Especially the homemade "secret recipe" crackers - one of the best things that I have ever tasted. I wish they were available to buy in boxes! The little surprise elements brought to our table in between meals was a great touch, and very well thought out. Thanks again!
A fantastic place to eat in Ambleside, we had a lovely meal, food was top notch and lovely authentic feel to the place. We will definitely be visiting again!

One of the best Japanese food experiences I've ever had and I've been eating sushi since 1978. Even my dog was welcome. Really special place. Many Thanks
Fabulous food and the staff are amazing,very helpful choosing your meal.polite and friendly. The sushi was delicious and ramen was too ! Will definitely be back
Wabi Sabi is spectacular. The sushi is fresh, considered and flavoursome. Presentation and experience is perfect. We actually visit Ambleside just so we can dine at Wabi Sabi because there is nothing else like it in Manchester.
How to make fresh Wasabi � Highly recommended Japanese Restaurant � Please do make a reservation in advance, they don’t take you in, even the restaurant have no customers! �They don’t do business for money � Confidence here is in different level � happily ever after 3hrs drive � #wabisabi �
Absolutely blown away by our dining experience here last night. We both agreed it was the best meal out we've *ever* had. Attention to detail, mix of intense and subtle flavours and textures, the home grown leaves and shoots, the care taken over presentation and delivery (home grown wasabi grated at the table for us, a true delight!), all beyond expectations. So glad we live within driving distance and can visit often!
Blown away by this place, amazing attention to detail. Superb service, talked through the menu and made some amazing recommendations. And the food itself was unbelievably tasty! Best ramen ever!!
We had Absolutely amazing dinner , perfect service and attention to details. Highly recommend � Thank you!
What an absolutely outstanding gem of a restaurant. One of the best meals we have enjoyed in a long time. Service was flawless and thoughtful. The setting unexpected. If you find yourself in Ambleside be sure to stop in. The only slight flaw was the ramen noodles were too salty but that did not stop us from enjoying the meal immensely.
The plating was beautiful, with much thought and preparation for each dish.
They even brought over fresh wasabi and grated it tableside. I honestly have not been this taken aback at a restaurant in some major cities. If I could I would give them 10 stars.
The most exquisite 4 course meal I have ever eaten. Immense compliments to the chef, the presentation of every single item placed infront of us was divine and satisfied the aptly named 'Wabi-Sabi' (meaning natural imperfect beauty) aesthetic that they promote. A wonderful atmosphere paired with fantastic food in every aspect leaves me yearning for more. I will definately be back to Ambleside possibly just for this resturant.
Wow! What a find! We bounced from place to ever increasingly busy place in Ambleside in January and had no luck finding a table, but then we spotted an open sign on an unassuming restaurant. Hungry and hopeless we stepped in a quiet and intimate eatery and had one of the best plates of food I’ve had in a long time. The beef ramen was rich and full of flavour. The black lager too was super tasty. Well worth a visit
Sensational experience. We had the Imagination tasting menu which was one of the most amazing meals i have ever had - beautiful presentation, divine flavours and incredible imaginative dishes. Can't wait to return and perhaps try their Ramen! Such a talented chef and his lovely wife is the most attentive and wonderful host. Best restaurant in Cumbria.
Absolutely beautiful! Absolutely faultless!! We had sushi and our friends had the ramen which was also extremely tasty! Can't wait to come back for another fantastic meal!
A HIDDEN GEM!!! We had an amazing experience on both of our visits on consecutive days. First, we had the imagination sample menu which is a 5-course dinner. The taste and presentation was out of this world! Second, we had the winter ramen menu. Two of us ended up ordering total 3 ramen because it was so delicious! Service was outstanding. Thank you for the wonderful dining experience we will never forget :)
Excellent food, beautifully presented. Service impeccable. Highly recommend for a special occasion. Reservation in advance essential as the food is freshly prepared to your pre-chosen tasting menu.
Everything was great, the waitress was really kind and polite, food was amazing amd the atmosfere is really relaxing! Good job
Absolutely amazing, we had such an lovely evening and the food is out of this world. Everything has been thought of down to the last detail and it was such a fantastic experience - especially the surprise dessert! ありがとうございます Wabi Sabi!
Absolutely amazing food, service, everything. Best meal I've had in a long time
