Wabi Sabi Leuven

I went for dinner not so long ago in Wabi Sabi Leuven located in the Muntstraat. We normally go to the Bonheiden location but this time I went with some colleagues so Leuven was closer. The quality of the food is very similar between both locations but in Leuven the restaurant is located in an old house which has a lot more charm and character compared to the Bonheiden prefab bungalow. As a result, going for dinner in Leuven feels a lot more as an evening out than just plainly having dinner. If both locations would be equally far from where I live I would go for the Leuven location for sure. As we were with quite a hungry group we had a couple of the large boats. Compared to the boat we normally take when we go as a family of four the large boats have a bit more variety but apart from that they are quite the same. Apart from the location there is really not much difference in the food so if you like Sushi and are not a purist then Wabi Sabi is a good place to go. Not too expensive and the rice isn’t sweetened too much. In the past we used to go to Sikinoya in the Tiensestraat in Leuven and which had more authentic food according to my Japanese colleagues but I believe this restaurant didn’t survive the corona pandemic and doesn’t exist anymore. There are obviously better sushi places but in the price range of Wabi Sabi it is fine for me.
