    We went to try this restaurant when it was relatively new, about a month old. We ordered the lunch specials and the salmon sashimi that came with it was just amazing. It was a thick piece of fish that melted in our mouths. We were quite amused because it was the first time that we had such amazing sashimi. We went back about a month later, the sashimi pieces were smaller and thinner, but still top quality, melt-in-your-mouth goodness.

    Overall, you get seated quite quickly and the prices aren't too bad. We prefer going during lunch time to get the cheaper deals though just because we are poor students. I wouldn't recommend ordering the party trays though...unless you love all sushi. I ordered a party tray and a sashimi set last time and found myself not liking a lot of the fish. They give you a lot of the less popular fish that has an overwhelming fish-taste to it. But that is just personal preferences.

    I think this could be one of the best places to get sushi in Waterloo. The restaurant itself was very nice and. Enjoyed the food.

    For the past few years I have been getting my sushi/sashimi fix from all you can eat joints. Knowing the quality of those joints, I knew I was in for a huge treat by coming to a legitimate sushi bar.

    The atmosphere is very intimate and is great for date nights and small group get togethers.

    Onto the main course:
    - 24 piece sashimi
    - summer roll
    - scallop roll
    - wasabi ginger roll

    All of the rolls were fantastic and the sushi chefs here are top notch!

    4 Stars, though I almost wish they hadn't been so successful...I will never look at AYCE the same way ever again =P

    There's a second Watami Sushi just north of Toronto, in Markham. The family expanded here to try and attract Waterloo students. And I must say, thank god they chose here.

    Anyway, where do I start...everything is simply outstanding. The ambience, environment, FOOD!, service. Definitely try the Las Vegas Roll and Watami on King, the creativity is out of this world. Easily, and I mean EASILY the best sushi bar in Waterloo.

    PS: Waterloo students get 10% discount. Notify the waiter/resses beforehand though.

    Went here the other night, excited to see another sushi place in KW. On the whole, Watami is ok. The TexMex roll is interesting. Service and ambiance was quite good. We were a little disappointed with the overall quality of the fish, though. Especially the tuna. Better than places like Ye's or Sushi 99, but no where near as good as Tomu.
