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

    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.

    We had a reservation early evening and when we arrived were promptly greeted by a server. She…read moreseated is and gave us menus and informed us of any special items they had atm. She then left to let us peruse the menu. We took awhile to look so we were asked at once point if we were ready and we sis we needed a bit more time so the server was delightfully accommodating and said whenever we were ready to give a server a call. Later on when we were ready our order was taken by a male staff member. We ordered a decent amount. Miso cheese eggplant, chawan-mushi, fried fish collar served in some kind of broth, 8pc nigiri omakase, blue fin tuna&uni hand cone, another hand cone but I can't remember what was in it..wifey ordered it, vegetable tempura and a black truffle dynamite roll. The highlight for me was the black truffle dynamite roll, it's taste was perfect. The right amount of truffle used and not over powering like I've had at so many other venues. I was pleasantly surprised and delighted. It was smokey, earthy and tasted wonderful. The miso cheese eggplant was delicious, slightly salty from the miso and wonderfully roasted soft eggplant. The fish colar in broth was light and delicate, beautiful flavor and texture. Chawanmushi was soft and delicate, excellently flavored. The omakase which had fish from Japan was delicious, super fresh and masterfully prepared! The tempura came with a green tea seasalt which was different but very nice. For dessert we had the green tea tiramisu which was very tasty. The restaurant itself is small but cozy and wonderfully decorated. My wife and I had a wonderful meal and I would go back for special occasions.

    We love the food. Gohan and the miso eggplant were our favorite; the kids menu is a boon too.read more

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.

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!

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 went here for a special occasion dinner. Reservations are highly recommended because they are…read morevery small - 12 diners per sitting and 2 sittings per night. I made reservations about 4 months in advance. Upon arrival, one of the hostesses opened the door for us, and asked us to wait in a very ornate waiting area. We only waited a couple of minutes before another hostess seated us at the main seating area. The space is very dark, and only lit with candles while the rest of the diners trickled in. During that time they take drink orders, which is limited to sake, wine, beer and a few non-alcoholic drinks. Of note, they don't provide a drink menu, so we were a little surprised by the cost - the yuzu sake and the plum wine were $30 each. My non-alcoholic drink was $12, but a fair size. The theatrical portion started a few minutes later than the official start time - closer to 6pm. The shades lifted, the lights turned on, and the chefs introduced themselves. And from that moment on, they immediately went to work preparing our meal. They operate like clockwork to show the ingredients whole to the diners, and then preparing them, and serving them. Soon as the one dish was completed by all the diners, the next round came shortly after. Over 20+ dishes, there was very little wait time in between each. Each time a dish was served, a hostess was there to describe the dish and provided tips on how best to eat it. The food was overall was very good. I thought a few items were very average, most of them were very good, and a select few were truly outstanding. Most of the ingredients are imported from Japan, so I would imagine that it's part of the reason it's so expensive. This is definitely a splurge meal. I think half the diners at our sitting was celebrating a birthday. On the most part, the food is very good, watching the chefs at work is part of the entertainment, and the service is excellent. It's not some place I could afford to go to often, but glad to do it at least this one time.

You start in a small waiting room thoughtfully decorated with cultural touches before being welcomed into an intimate dining area that seats only about 12-14 people. The service was attentive and personal throughout. When it came to drinks, they first asked what we generally enjoyed rather than immediately pushing specific options. Once we narrowed it down to dry sake, our server kindly brought over several bottles and gave us a detailed explanation of each one before we made our choice. Lunch consisted of around 15 courses, with most served nigiri-style. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and I loved the thoughtful combinations of flavors and textures throughout the progression. Each piece felt distinct without trying too hard to be complicated.The experience finished beautifully with ice cream and matcha--a simple, elegant ending to a memorable meal. Absolutely worth the drive from Seattle. This wasn't just lunch; the intimate setting, pacing, presentation, and hospitality made the whole experience feel special from beginning to end.
