Watami Sushi offers a variety of delicious rolls like the King roll, Jade roll, and the popular Ice and Fire roll. The main entrees have generous portions, and some dishes are larger than expected, such as the 9 pieces of sashimi, which actually includes more than nine pieces. While the sushi rolls are tasty, some found them a bit small for the price. The salmon crunch roll and Las Vegas roll are popular choices, and the Ice and Fire roll is decent. The restaurant has a clean and quiet environment with friendly service, though there are occasional moments where service can feel a little rushed, especially during dinner hours. The food quality is high, with fresh fish that can be tasted in the sashimi. The chicken karage has good seasoning, but is served without a side lemon. Appetizers like takoyaki and shrimp tempura sometimes lack flavor, and the baked scallop roll was disappointing, with small scallops mixed with mushrooms. Despite these minor issues, the atmosphere remains pleasant, and the staff is generally attentive and apologetic when mistakes happen, such as a hair found in the food. Overall, Watami Sushi is a hidden gem that offers a good dining experience with delicious food and attentive service.
