This is one of those restaurants that I am constantly getting mixed up with Sushi Mura. Anyways, my fav go to is their lunch combos. For $27 I got their sushi and sashimi lunch combo. That came with Sushi, sashimi, tempura, spicy salmon roll, Korean style gyoza, green salad, sunomono salad and miso soup. Portion size was pretty good for the price. B got the spicy salamon roll, spicy salmon crunch roll and the unagi roll. He said the spicy salmon crunch roll was spectacular delicious. We both enjoyed our food. Service was great. The restaurant was ok. We went during Sunday lunch time and it wasn't that busy at all. The decor of the place was ok as well. It is nothing fancy looking. Just a typical sushi restaurant that may need some renovations in the near future. There are plenty of street parking in the hood.

For $26, you receive six large pieces of California Roll, eight small pieces of Dynamite Roll, three salmon maki and three tuna maki, chicken karaage and mini salad. The sushi was of good quality and had a good taste in my opinion. The salad was seasoned with a nice dressing but I passed on the chicken Karaage because I'm eating gluten free. Bonus-The restaurant had GF soy sauce! Yay! For this price point, at dinnertime, I thought this was a steal of a deal!

I really like their teishoku (set meal) options! I got a combo set that comes with both chirashi don and udon, plus a small side salad and three pieces of tempura for $27.95. The sashimi was super fresh, and even the salad greens were crisp with zero bad leaves. The rice in the chirashi don was delicious, it's sprinkled with a layer of furikake which makes it so easy to eat. The fish slices were a bit thin, but since you get 5 or 6 different kinds plus some fish roe, I can't complain. The presentation of the whole chirashi don was adorable, complete with a tiny edible (?) flower on top! The interior is super comfortable and feels spacious, even though seating is a bit limited. They were doing great business for lunch, literally packed the entire time! This was my first visit, but I definitely wouldn't mind stopping by again if I'm in the area to try their other dishes. Recommended!

Very happy with our dining experience. Came in for dinner…read more Nicely lit, clean restaurant. The servers were friendly and helped when we asked a few questions about the menu . We got a total of 3 boxes. Beef teriyaki, chicken teriyaki, and salmon sashimi donburi. All three of them were great. They had a variety of sides some differing from box to box. This made it harder to choose what we wanted, but ordering all 3 allowed us to try a little from each box. There wasn't an item that was not good. Loved the variety, freshness, and flavours. The most difficult part of coming to this restaurant is parking. However, that won't discourage us from coming again.

This place is located in the heart of New Westminster. It's right behind a busy stop. Once we got…read morein, the place is clean and spacious. We ordered some rolls and sashimi to share. The niche of this place is they used different color of rice, it's slightly pink but tastes just as the normal sushi rice. Apparently it's mixed with different kind of vinegar when mixing the rice. The sashimis are super fresh, salmon toro and tuna toro are both delicious. The shrimp tempura was freshly cooked, very crunchy. Salmon Oshi was nicely seared on the top. If I have to pick, the salmon toro sashimi was my favorite. The service was standard and friendly. They informed us about the last calls, and wasn't rushing us out when it was time to close. The price is reasonable and affordable. Overall, I've had a great experience with this place. when I'm around this area, I will come back and visit again.

My meal was simple but still got to try new stuff that I hadn't tried before. I went Vegan for this meal. Ordered a Kanpyo roll, one piece of Avocado Nigiri, one piece of Asparagus Nigiri, and a miso soup. My friend ordered a Nigiri Sushi Lunch Box special. Kanpyo roll and Asparagus Nigiri were both new to me. Don't see either of them on restaurant menus much, if ever. I enjoyed them both and while I have always enjoyed the taste of tuna or salmon sushi (and all the other raw fishes that are served in Japanese restaurants), I really didn't miss the fish at all. Very much enjoyed my meal here, and so happy to see these Vegan options on the menu!

My friend and I were intrigued by the Watashi Special One Meter Roll Combo for Two and also ordered the Assorted Sashimi. For 28.95, the one meter roll was visually impressive - we each got to try one piece of 10 different rolls (chef's choice of chef special rolls and aburi). And it wasn't like they were lazy and chose rolls with the same fillings and just changed the toppings - there was a nice variety of both the sushi and topping. My only feedback would be for them to explain or provide an explanation of which rolls were provided so next time I can order them directly! The assorted sashimi (also chef choice) were delish as well - I believe we got walu/butterfish, salmon toro, ika slices, along with the usual salmon, two types of tuna, hamachi and hokkigai. Both of these dishes were about $30 each and amazing value. These days I'm less about the quantity consumed and more about variety, which generally comes with a higher price tag. At watashi, I was equal parts full and satisfied by the different flavours at a very reasonable price tag. Hidden gem for sure! One uncomfortable observation was a customer on the other side of the store talking on the phone and cutting her fingernails at her dining table.... I feel like the employees should have stopped that behaviour because its quite unsanitary. Luckily we had already finished eating at that point.

A very nice hole-in-the-wall sushi restaurant worth trying. Besides the familial energy and…read moreservice, we really enjoyed the different kind of dishes from traditional nigiri, their specialty rolls, especially the sakura flower shaped ikoi roll, and various tasty cooked dishes. They even have fried oysters, which is always a yummy treat, with its tender richness offset by a great crunch and natto roll, which is definitely worth a try at any sushi restaurant.

Tried out a bunch of their aburi sushi, maple roll and their udon carbonara…read more I think the udon carbonara would have been much better if it was served at the restaurant because once the noodles cool, the cheese does not stretch as much and the dish isn't as creamy as it would have been. Still good, just would have been better at the restaurant. The aburi sushi on the other hand was super tasty. The rice wasn't as packed as it could have been so they fell apart but it didn't bother me too much. The maple roll was pretty fresh as well. Will be back.

Heard about this place so my partner and I finally decided to try it!…read more We ordered the Daily Tray and that day featured the Truffle Mushroom Udon and we chose the Salmon Zuke for the bowl. In addition, we tried their Tomato Prawn and the Matcha Strawberry Swirl. The tomato Prawn dish was hands down the best dish. The Truffle Mushroom Udon had a lot of umami flavour which I didn't mind, but my partner found it a bit overpowering. All the other side dishes on the tray were great. The Matcha Strawberry Swirl was quite sweet in my partner's opinion, but I didn't mind the sweetness. There was definitely more strawberry flavour than matcha which was unfortunate because we really wanted the taste the matcha as well. Overall, staff was very nice and service was quick. It was very cozy, warm, open concept where you can see the chef, and a welcoming environment.
