I saw this restaurant online and wanted to try because i have never been. I took my lil niece. I immediately wanted to try their sushi i have heard such good things. I ordered the Godzilla rolls. They were so good. I love the sauce on top. They were fresh and tasty. 10/10. I then ordered fried vegetables with teriyaki chicken along with a side salad and miso soup. The soup wasn’t the best it was a lil cold. The salad was really good my niece even loved it. The vegetables and the chicken was good. I didn’t know they didn’t cook fried rice they only offer white rice. So i decided not to get none. I ordered my niece teriyaki chicken as-well but the kids portion. I thought it was so cute how they have a kids plate and fork. My niece loved it. I will definitely go back for the sushi alone or the salad because they stood out. The waiter was very nice aswell. She helped me with the menu. So i will def go back and try something else.

Best sushi in town. Pleasant staff and was a great experience. A bit crowded for my taste, but that should be expected given the quality and that we went on a Sat night.

Great dining experience and great food! It gets crowded early, so its best to get there as soon as possible, especially if you want a seat at the sushi bar!

Absolutely love this place. If you want actual Japanese food and good sushi this is one of two places in town to get it. Don’t waste your time with other sushi places, “sushi bars” or hibachi places. Come here and get the good stuff. This place is Japanese owned and has been for years and it shows in what they make and how they make it.

Got the spicy tuna and the Philadelphia roll and they were both incredible. Haven’t been here in years and it’s still the best sushi in town.

Great Japanese restaurant. The best Sushi Nigiri in town. After a small mistake in the order, the owner didn’t hesitate to correct it. I vote Inakaya Watanabe #1 in my book.

I can’t believe I’ve been a loyal customer for over 20 years and never reviewed. Wow! Sorry Ryo!

Excellent sushi bar. Has about a dozen seats or so. Fast service, fresh ingredients, our server was friendly and polite. Wontons are delicious if you want a hot appetizer. The Happy roll and Crunch roll were great, couldn’t eat it all.

Disappointed! We went and got the Omazake boat which is the most expensive boat there and we got TWO!! The chefs didn’t even give us fatty tuna, uni etc. Won’t come back! Waste of money for mediocre fish.
