Review Watami Japanese Restaurant - Eunice

Watami use to be a favorite place for take out for us. This new Zi Watami, the staff is friendlier but the food was a huge disappointment. We ordered steak and chicken habachi. The meat tasted boiled and had no flavor. The steak was covered in black pepper. The vegetables were even bland. LSU roll was kind of ok but that spicy mayo 👎🏼 Waste of $$ Will not be going back. First pic is what use to be. Second is what we got tonight

Always delicious food. Friendly service. Recommend the LSU roll all day

Weirdest experience I’ve ever had at a restaurant. I got at 12:30PM, a typical lunch hour, and the place was empty. I was literally the only customer there. I ordered one sushi roll, and although I mentioned I’m dining in, I received it in an aluminum plate, with a fork (!!). When I asked for chopsticks, the worker sent me to the table to get the chopsticks myself. The fish wasn’t fresh, and the overall taste was no more than fine.

Cheaper than other Japanese places I’ve been to and the food is quick and delicious. Definitely recommend.

The food is actually good to me. I want to update my review. I had one bad experience, but the rest were really good. I have had mostly great experiences here with the food and the service. I know we are dealing with challenges.

Great place to eat. Sushi is great. Friendly people.

I have never tasted great Sushi, until me and my daughter went to Watami's. Now I know what real Sushi is supposed to taste like. Some of the reviews I will agree with. The utensils they supply are extremely thin plastic, and makes it somewhat hard to eat your meal. They do supply chopsticks as well, if you choose to use them. The prices are a bit "high". For me and my daughter, the bill was $50+. It's so much cheaper to eat at an all you could eat buffet. Not sure if it's always as warm as it was this day when we went. But this particular day, it's was a bit stuffy and caused us to bring our food home and finish later that night. Over all, I really enjoyed the food. The foods have a wonderful flavor with all the different spices used on each particular dish. Yes, I will be going back to eat, but I will be ordering take out this time. I also will watch what I order so not to have an expensive bill as I did this day.

I used to get sushi almost 4 times a week. I was a very valuable customer. They messed up my order 1 night and I tried returning it the next morning "was at work before I noticed my order was wrong so had to wait until I got off to bring it back". When trying to speak to the lady she got rude with me and started arguing and getting loud. The sushi is great but just make sure they give you the right food. I will not be ordering any sushi from here again.
