Description

In a neighborhood where artists once rented studios for pittances, a sleek commercial district of antique stores, design offices and high-end restaurants is now entrenched — including Wabi Sabi, a skinny storefront refashioned into a Matsuhisa-derived sushi bar/Pacific Rim dinner house. Drop in for a big bowl of Cal-Asian style “bouillabaisse,? or linger through a multicourse meal of small plates (including standbys like miso-marinated cod or eggplant). But sushi, here, is the real stunner — which, given the prices, it should be. Don’t miss the lobster roll. Pacific Rim.
