Wabi Sabi Sushi@Santa Ana ★★

Omakase Pop-Up sold out within 2 hours. Nice Omakase course. Nice & friendly people. Enjoyed the Anikimo Monaka. Monaka is trending in Japanese cuisines. Tai Carpaccio was served on a fun bendable plate, which we were encouraged to be creative with the shape. Enjoyed the creative Matcha Affogato. I met Sushi Chef Mako-san at Gokumi grand opening sake event. He specialized in "Homakase" (hired omakase at home) and now operates a togo pickup spot in Santa Ana. Glad to finally try his pop-up. 8 seats only. $150 per person. First 2 hours free parking at lot. Paid $0.75 for additional time. Alcohol and corkage cannot be served at this moment because of alcohol license restrictions.
