The sashimi is really good here with lots of harder-to-get choices available. Not cheap, but definitely a place to check out for unique fish options. Not a fan of their pressed sushi - too much rice and not very appetizing.It has also been very hit and miss with the cooked foods. The pork cheek appetizer was really good (a bit too salty for my wife) but the Shioyaki Set (grilled salmon and chicken dinner) was really dry and bland.

Went to Watami on a whim for a late lunch. The restaurant vibes was intimate and I can imagine at night would feel like an authentic izakaya. Ingredients were fresh, excellent rice to fish ratio, and complimentary green tea is offered. Would love to return!b

Food comes very quickly and servers are really friendly and nice. Atmosphere is nice, lively but not too loud. Food itself was really good, fresh and rolls are well made and stay together. Also try the entrees they are delicious. Able to do separate bills which is nice too. Highly recommended, will be back!

I love everything we ordered. Sashimi tasted really fresh. Especially otoro sashimi. Chicken karage and miso soup were just okay. However, Watami is my favourite restaurant in uptown Waterloo!

This place is unassuming from the outside, but be prepared to be delightfully surprised. The atmosphere: though small, the layout of the tables is so carefully considered to create intimate nooks for every patron. The lighting is moody and perfect. The bathroom is even a delight, and along with everything else in this place, it makes you feel like you've stepped out of Canada and into Japan momentarily. The servers are attentive, polite, and kind of sweet. Don't get me started on the food. There's not enough room here. It was all so fresh and absolutely delicious. Nothing disappointed. The avocado salad and tempura were my faves, but it was all delicious. I'm not an expert on Japanese cuisine, but this place makes me want to become one. I'm definitely going back as soon as I can. Enjoy!

I came here half an hour before lunch ended. It wasn't very busy. The place was small, but quaint. I loved the atmosphere and decor. The food and service was good. The fish was fresh. The pieces of chicken were big. I would go back again.

Sushi and grilled kama are very delicious, and the ingredients are very fresh. It may be that we were busy during our visit, so there was no service available. Wagyu and tempura are not so delicious, and Wagyu is not worth the price. Tempura have a strong oily taste.

I've heard that just like any other craft, great sushi requires precision and passion. Emulating both these values, Watami Sushi brings forward vibrant plates of carefully constructed sushi rolls. Hoping to try a few of these plates, I paid them a visit.Onto what I ordered! Translucent, thinly sliced pieces of salmon on the sushi made for a delicious dish, with the citrusy dressing drizzled making it even more refreshing. Furthermore, the futo maki, known for its generous filling and bold flavors, the dish was a mosaic of colors and textures, with an earthy taste. The rice paper roll and the ice and fire roll were the perfect complements to the other dishes - with their varied spices and tastes, the resulting dish was an explosion of flavors in my mouth. If you're looking for good sushi with a classy ambience, visiting them is highly recommended!To hear about this review, follow us @eatinontario on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook.

Jade rolls with cucumber exterior was a unique experience! Other rolls had yummy creamy toppings (like scallops and mushrooms). Hearty katsudon. Lovely ambiance.

I was invited here by a friend and thank God that I was introduced to this place. We got waygu which was the best I've had in the city, specialty tuna and other fancy fish that we were recommended and felt like trying. I have never been a fan of sashimi until this place. The quality of the fish, the presentation of the sushi rolls and overall atmosphere was such high quality that it's changed the sushi game for me. So glad I tried Watami and I'll keep coming back
