$4.75/per.  Shrimp good, but shrimp head slightly too much of a flour taste (vs batter). Still edible.
Robert C.

Return or not return? 100% return. One of my rare 5-star reviews. No brainer based on value and service! Was in the area at lunch time and paid a random visit. Mainland Chinese owned sushi cheap eats, but so what!!! Too many people have stereotypes about having the staff be the same ethnicity as the cuisine. This is Chinese owned and they are not pretending to be something they are not. This is price/value. Nothing more. How many Italians own pizza restaurants in Vancouver? Ever been to Los Angeles where arguably has the best Korean restaurants in North America. How many Koreans you see in the kitchen? This is among the best cheap Japanese eats, and here's why they "win". 1. Cleanest bathroom I've recently seen in a restaurant 2. Server and sushi chef, polite and soft spoken (and camera shy) 3. Good presentation 4. Food is great value. Not about Michelin ratings here, but where can you find price/quality relationship like this? Only criticism is amaebi fried shrimp heads slightly too much flour. Would return and hope they do well.

This place used to be a restaurant called Y Sushi. It was just sometime earlier this year that it changed into Watashi Sushi & Kitchen. I've had my eye on this place for quite some time. Finally got around to trying it. Food was pretty good. Our miso soups were nice and hot. The one complaint would be the prawn tempura. Our daughter said it was a bit too greasy. She ate a few pieces of fruit from my Tofu Teriyaki lunch box to help cut the grease in her system. I like how the lunch boxes come with pieces of Aburi sushi. That's kinda different and a welcome change of pace from always getting just standard stuff like california rolls or regular tuna/salmon nigiri. My brother ordered an Aburi Sushi combo. It came on this long plank and was quite an impressive sight. He said the food was quite good too. I enjoyed my Tofu Teriyaki lunch box but couldn't finish it so I packed it and brought it home. We managed to snag a 1 hr free parking spot one block before the restaurant. More free parking can be found on some of the side streets, off of Edmonds.

Watashi is a convenient sushi restaurant in the Burnaby Edmond area that's great for a sushi stop. We came here for lunch and tried out their bento and a few a la carte items - prawn tempura, house roll and negihamachi roll. The prawn tempura was very fresh and crispy! We must had came at a good time where it was a fresh batch of oil early in the day. The house roll is very generous in size and it was different from other places where it is wrapped with soy paper as well. The bento hasa good variety with your standard items like teriyaki chicken, salad, California to, tempura and the addition of two pieces salmon Aburi sushi as well. Service was friendly. The restaurant wasn't too busy and had a good number of tables available. A nice spot for sushi for a pretty good value.

Chinese sushi place on Edmonds. Don't let the Japanese themed interior or Japanese music fool you. Parking is available on the side streets. The place definitely looks Japanese. Pretty colourful umbrellas all over the ceiling. Staff are friendly and attentive. The chirashi don here is pretty solid. I'm guessing some 12 pieces/servings of seafood. Bowl is a bit deeper than expected (the rim looks shallow), which they packed full of rice. This is nice, since I leave hungry when having this dish at most other places. Definitely looks great in terms of presentation. The only complaint was that the scoop of chopped scallop tasted really fishy and off. Knock 1 star off. However, my friend who ordered the same dish after me said his was fine. Not sure what to think. Oh yeah, this dish comes with miso soup. Other than the chopped scallop issue and the fact that the staff aren't actually Japanese, the place is a decent choice. I'd probably be back at some point to try their bento box or other sushi dishes.

One Metre Combo For 2

The one meter combo was freshly prepared and the it was absolutely delicious unfortunately the soft shell crab tasted a bit bland.

Hidden gem in New West. One of the best sushi places I've been to. Cozy decor and delicious sushi.

Sushi-lonesome... First time coming here since the new ownership took over. Both the outside and inside were renovated, simple clean modern design and furnishings. Its physical layout and appearance is better than before. I believe quite a bit of thoughts and work were put into maximizing the limited space it had to work with during the renovation process. Good job! Once again, I am dining solo after a long day so don't judge me if it seems like I am pigging out. Here were the food I ordered; 1. Toro, unagi, foie gras. Salmon toro, chopped scallops, uni nigiris. Could be a little more generous on the uni, toro wasn't too fresh, salmon toro was buttery, foie gras was too dry, unagi was okay, personally preferred chopped scallops premixed with the masago. Overall, rice ratio was too much. 2. Scorpio roll. A little too much pressure on the rice resulting in it becoming mushy and lost its texture. I personally think a stingy mashed jalapeño taste is more suitable to match the name of this roll rather than the sweet mustard taste. 3. BBQ saba. Very nicely grilled, tasty and went well with the sake. 4. Deep fried soft shell crab. Just the way a deep fried soft shell crab should be; light gentle crisp all around, tasty and retaining its appearance. 5. Appetizer tempura. Light crisp with a nice clean taste and without any excessive oil. 6. Mini assorted sashimi. Great little sashimi platter for solo diners like me. Everything was fresh and tasty. I came here twice when its used to be Y Sushi and it was okay to satisfy your basic sushi cravings. Now with the new ownership, the menu has expanded. (Wished they added oyster mototaki). The place had that small cozy atmosphere therefore solo dining wasn't so awkward and intimidating. The service was very friendly, attentive and accommodating from the start till the end. As for the food, it's mostly okay. The main thing it should be more aware of is the tuna toro and the sushi rice, less pressure on the rolls and when forming the rice for the nigiris. I will come back to try other dishes. I wish this business much success! Good luck! Mutual 3 stars for now...

good food, friendly service and cozy atmosphere. I just found this newly opened sushi restaurant near my place. I will definitely come back with my family.

The food here was really good. I had the sashimi and sushi roll combo and it was very tasty. The fish tasted fresh and was full of flavour and the rolls were made very well.

What a great sushi spot! They're actually Japanese too, which I prefer…read more Our party of 11 stayed at a big Airbnb nearby after our Alaskan cruise & we were craving sushi. We ordered the bigger party platter, a bunch of tempura shrimp, specialty rolls, all almost $200 & it was Delicious & totally hit the spot! 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.

Our sushi was definitely signed and autographed. We ordered their volcano roll, Alaska Roll, Collingwood roll and Scallop Tataki roll. Service was great from beginning to end. It was pretty quiet with soft music in the background. Several of the rolls had this toasted yam which decorated and gave the rolls their "signature ". 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.

I got the mother's day special to share with another person. It was on the more expensive side, and for the amount of food you get, it didn't feel like it was worth the $90, but I really enjoyed the dish. Everything was very fresh and tasted lovely. 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.

I like the food here as it has a wide variety and is not just about the fancy or specialty rolls. Instead it is a bit fusion with pasta and soufflé. The highlight is their oshi platter. I have yet to try it as it's too much for 1-2 people. I think tou will need more people to share as there are like 6 different oshi. I like the Green Leafer which is a combo with sashimi, tempura and oshi. The basic rolls are also good and have lots of filling. Recently I had the tuna and avocado roll, and I was surprised to see plenty of avocado and tuna in it. So good. My friend had the tonkatsu and it was a generous portion. More meat than rice. There are also ramen, udon, donburi, rice in hot stone bowl and teppan meat. The place is pretty spacious and I usually manage to get a table on weeknights which is like 80% full. There are always people waiting to get their take out too.
