What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Watashi Sushi & Wok offers a diverse range of Asian dishes, with many diners praising the freshness and quality of their sushi and poke bowls. While the food is a strong highlight, some customers have noted exceptionally slow service and occasionally inconsistent quality, particularly with the 'all you can eat' option. The ambiance is described as pleasant and the staff friendly, making it a recommended spot for those seeking flavors beyond local cuisine.
"We came in around 11pm kitchen closes at 11:50 that day. Super good food and I can’t believe nobody in the joint but us. Extremely nice service and the place is pretty and in a great location. Definitely recommend this place if you’re in the mood for sushi. Looks like a hidden gem!"

"Nice and fresh sushi! One of the few spots that offers sushi for lunch. Nice poke and entrees as well."
Silvana Avalos
"I only took one “premium” roll and mine was decent. But my partner decided to go for the “all you can eat” formula and, ofc, they only gave him basic rolls and as the very last dish they gave him a “premium” roll.
If you know about sushi, or can recognize high quality fish, this place is not for you.
I truly advised you not to take the AYCE formula, rather order a la carte 2 special rolls and take advantage of the Itaú discount (not applicable on AYCE).
Lastly, the slowest service I’ve experienced in my entire life, and the restaurant wasn’t even busy (I really hope they don’t do it on purpose so you get fuller faster when dining with the AYCE formula).
I wouldn’t come back :("
