Watami Sushi & Hibachi Steakhouse (Poplar Bluff)

Great customer service amazing food and very clean nice diner experience!!

Food was AMAZING! A lot of food for the price. Went in with a family of four and not one of us finished our plate. The robot was very cute and our server went above and beyond what was expected of him. We will defiantly be going back. Thank you guys for the awesome experience. Very fancy up to date place.

It's really nice on the inside. The food is too pricey for me. The chef was friendly and very good at his job.

Food was good but the veggies were frozen and this took away from the overall meal.
Had the soft shell crab and spicy tuna tartar appetizer and these were both phenomenal. I would come back again. Beautiful restaurant and lovely ambiance too.

I arrived at the restaurant at 5:45 and ended up waiting until 8:00 with no food. Despite being told three different times that our food was on the way, it never arrived. We finally just paid for our drinks and left. The service was unacceptable—if you’re looking for a place to eat, avoid this one unless you have hours to spare. I believe the delay was due to our waiter not even putting in our order, rather than an issue with the kitchen. Either way, this was the worst dining experience I’ve had. Please address these issues to make the experience more professional for future customers. That won’t be me and my family

We were on our way home and saw this restaurant in Poplar Bluff.

Decided to give it a shot and we were really surprised but how good the restaurant overall.

Was greeted warmly by the Hostess, and served by the kind and nimble Andrew, we felt the sincere service from him.

Really amazed by all the foods we ordered, from appetizers to sushis, and hibachi as well.

We didnt take many pictures since we stuffed ourselves with all the delicious foods.

The way they plate the foods was out of our expectations, and the taste was perfect.

The service from the server, Andrew, was perfect as well.
He knows all the stuffs from A to Z, answered all our questions patiently, and paid a lot of attention to our situation, timely to refill our drink, and gave us napkins at the right time.

We sat at the bar to pay attention to how the sushi chef handled our sushi rolls, and he handled our rolls with precision and speed of a master.

Really, really an amusing experience, seeing a master at work up close.

If you wanna pay a visit, please treat yourself to sit at the sushi bar, and request to be served by Andrew.

You will enjoy a comfortable dining experience with exquisite and extraordinary foods from the best sushi chef.

Didnt try the hibachi show since we loved quiet situation, but the hibachi sounds really lively, will try next time when we are in town.

See you again, Watami Poplar Bluff.

Ordered the chirashi, with extra white tuna on the side.

The sushi master chef William prepared our chirashi thoughtfully, with all his heart put into the food.
The best chirashi we have ever tried, very lucky that we stumbled on this place and will be loyal customer from here on.

The lightly scorched white tuna tasted amazing, very slight burnt aroma, but fresh on the first bite, combined with heavenly sauce, make perfect combination.

He even gave me special sauce only for the sliced octopus on the chirashi.

With one meal only, I was given the experiences of trying 3 different combination.

For new customers who want to try their sashimi, I strongly recommend their chirashi, with special request for their slightly flamed white tuna.
The little extra add on was really really worth it, for a special taste and experience.

Dont forget to tip him (William the sushi master) at the end since he always make every visit memorable.

One person had Teriyaki chicken. Ate about 10%. Too tough to eat.
One had general Tsao's. Small, cheap cuts of chicken that was cut with the grain. Most pieces were 90% batter but the ones with meat in them were so tough it was like chewing a mouthful of rubber bands.
Maybe their hibachi and sushi are good but I won't be back.

First-time customer. The food was very good and good portions. We had the chicken teriyaki and the steak and chicken with fried rice. The steak was cooked perfectly and eveyrhing had a good flavor. Our waiter was pleasant and checked on the table frequently. Will go back again to try the grill.

Kid-friendliness: There was a table having a toddlers birthday party and the staff was very sweet with giving them kid friendly foods.

Unfortunately this restaurant continues to decline in its service. The previous visit they took a while to get to our table.

Tonight we walked out because we had no waiter even approach our table after 8 minutes with a practically empty restaurant.

Then as we walked out the hostess was sitting talking to a sushi chef completely unaware of the customers she sat.

Hopefully management reads this and addresses the issue of service.
