Absolutely outstanding experience.
From the moment you walk in, everything feels right: great location, perfect temperature, and a beautiful interior that’s elegant and welcoming ideal for special occasions like birthdays or anniversaries.
The food is exceptional. The sushi shows real expertise, freshness, and excellent presentation. The chicken and meat dishes are equally impressive, prepared with precision and deep respect for Japanese cuisine.
The customer service is outstanding: attentive, professional, and genuinely kind. Overall, the experience is so well done that it truly feels like being in Japan.
Highly recommended.

Watawa is really a great local sushi spot that everyone clearly knows about. It keeps busy throughout the night with a continuous flow of people dining in and picking-up takeout orders.
The portion sizes are much larger than other places and very easy to share. We ordered sushi and sashimi for 2 and it was plenty for the three of us.
They have a full bar plus speciality drinks.
We all opted for the saketini.
The servers work in conjunction with one another so there is always someone around if you need anything.
It features multiple seating areas to choose from. It’s great for large parties as well as an intimate date night if you are able to score a table around the water pond.
Reservations are not required unless you are a party of 5 or more.

Found this gem randomly while craving sushi. Definitely a spot we’d like to visit again. The atmosphere felt really welcoming, you could tell some guests were regulars there and it became evident why once we tried the crispy rice. The first bite was truly an orgasmic burst of flavor! The ginger margarita was good as well!

A friend of mine recommended this place to celebrate my birthday, so I went to Watawa Sushi and it was a great location to celebrate. Very friendly staff, Sushi is to die for and they have plenty of drinks options. The menu is extremely good and complete with multiple options to choose from. If you are a sushi lover like me, please give it a try. If you are in the Astoria area you won’t regret. I am
definitely returning for more yummy sushi!

Watawa Sushi used to be my favorite sushi restaurant on Ditmars Blvd. I’ve dined there many times – alone, with friends and family. The food and service were great, and I always left satisfied… until my most recent visit.
I went back one evening with my mom, expecting the same amazing experience. We politely asked to sit by the window since there weren’t many people inside. Although they agreed, it felt like our request wasn’t well received. We waited a long time for our food, while people who arrived after us were served first. When our food finally came, it was nothing like before.
The shrimp tempura sushi and fried calamari, which used be my favorites – tasted bad… like the oil hadn’t been changed for a while… Unfortunately, both the food and the experience were disappointing. Even worse, I had stomach issues later that night, and my mom didn’t feel well for almost a week. It was really upsetting, especially since this place used to be a favorite.
Maybe I’ll give it another try someday – but definitely not anytime soon.

This sushi spot offers fresh, delicious sushi with great service. The price is a bit on the higher side but the quality is worth it, making it a must-visit spot. The location is great the atmosphere is nice and the vibe is fresh feeling. Excellent service.

I don’t go often but wife and I have been coming here for years and it’s been a 5 star till my last visit. The fried rice was always tasty. Rather with shrimp or something else never had to use soy sauce. My last visit the rice was very disappointing. Very bland and mushy. Wife and I hope this was just a fluke. Is it just us? Or they change the way they make the rice…

Best sushi spot in Astoria by far! The staff is so attentive and friendly. The food is AMAZING! It’s a very nice atmosphere as well. I’ve also had very good delivery experiences with them. It’s not cheap but it’s worth every penny! The best Kani salad in the world!
