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.

I got their Chirashi Lunch which came with Miso Soup and at just $15, this was well topped bowl of fresh tuna, salmon, white fish, tamago and Ebi. The rice underneath was well flavoured and had a small drizzle of teriyaki sauce to bring it a little extra flavour. Although I arrived at around two, they were happy to serve us and did not rush us to leave when they closed for a break at three. It was not very full, service was quick and friendly and they came by to refill our tea multiple times. Highly recommended for a good sushi meal near Brentwood area.

The service is great everytime I came they always greeted me, and they gave me water even when I didn't ask. My only complaint is time. Usually I come at 4 pm on a Sunday but then all of a sudden they are on break and I totally respect that but make the break time at 3 pm instead because most people come at 4. Other than that I really recommend trying the place out just make sure to research for time they open.

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!

It's a tiny but cozy sushi spot with maybe 4-5 tables at the end of a tiny section of maybe 3 shops, in a residential area. Our order was ready when we got there and I don't know they even were able to make all the food for our order! We're from California and I've never seen a sushi roll with sweet potato in it. It wasn't my favorite but it was interesting and food for vegans, I guess. It was part of the big party platter. The wait staff were super nice and Japanese from their accents, which I prefer getting Japanese food from Japanese shop owners and workers. They threw in complimentary edamame. Would probably be a regular there, if I lived nearby.

Ingredients were fresh and plentiful in several of them. We also had their seaweed salad which was also good. It was a hole in the wall that was a diamond in the rough.

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.

The scallop melted in your mouth and was slightly sweet. The citrus dipping sauce that came with the dish was refreshing. I ordered two additional rolls as I wasn't full.

In addition, I had my usual sweetened nitro matcha and my boyfriend had a Sapporo beer (bottle). The negitoro was okay, not my favourite but yellowtail, chopped scallop, and snow crab rolls were solid. My absolute favourite is the truffle lobster roll, which I ordered an extra roll as one is never enough! Unfortunately, there was a miscommunication with my extra truffle lobster roll and after waiting 10 to 15 minutes, I had to inquire about it. The staff apologized for the error and due to the wait, gave me the extra truffle lobster roll on the house. With an additional spicy shrimp roll, our bill total was $57.60 including taxes and excluding tip. We had a promo $10 credit to use so our total came to $47.60 plus tip. *Pro tip: the Nitro matcha drink comes with unlimited refills and I managed to drink 3 glasses of it - yum! **The new Happy Hour here is now with the purchase of a 4 roll ($30), 5 roll ($34), or 6 roll ($39) combo, you get a free drink from a list to choose from that includes alcoholic and non-alcoholic options that typically range from $5 to $14 each.

First off, always bring a jacket here even if it's hot outside. The AC here is terribly cold. As regulars here for decades, sometimes with mild turbulent experiences, this specific visit highlighted a real decline in how the restaurant operates. We arrived close to sunset on a cool evening, yet the dining room was uncomfortably cold with air blowing directly on our backs. Staff can be seen to the side rubbing their upper arms trying to warm themselves. Patrons near us (tables really close) also expressed discontent with the chilly air and food. I asked a server if they could adjust the temperature twice. Finally, I got up and went to the counter and in broken English, the younger woman just shrugged and muttered that the AC was off, even though cold air was clearly still blowing--surely their HVAC system has a heater. After sitting there in a really cold dining room freezing and hearing other diners continue to complain, we decided to walk out without ordering. The cashier gave a completely scripted, insincere apology on our way out. It feels like they simply do not care about the dine-in experience or the tips customers leave anymore. I feel customers need to be more vocal and use their wallets as a method of approval. I also noticed a newly posted sign saying they now close between 3 and 4 pm for staff breaks, which seems to point to obvious staffing issues. There's way too many Sushi restaurants competing for business in the Highgate Metrotown area, this one has fallen off the rails. And I can't imagine how bad management is with these kinds of working conditions.
