text: I went to Watami on a Thursday night (October 30th) with my friend. We usually don't venture down to Uptown for Sushi for two reasons: we are broke university students and there is an AYCE sushi right across the street from our campus. Now, the reason why we ventured out to Watami was 1. The reviews seemed solid 2. I hated the service of the AYCE sushi (they get so many students they really don't care about service). We had salmon sashimi and dragon rolls (I believe, can't remember exactly about the rolls). The wait was 45 mins because they \"couldn't serve us\" and had to \"set up our table\" we gladly waited just because I needed to go pick up some stuff down the street. When we got back we got seated and had to wait an additional 30 minutes - the server was very passive about our presence (we didn't even get a glass of water). My friend and I did not get served until that initial 30 minutes was up. I wanted to get just a full plater of salmon sashimi and not mixed - we were told it would cost an extra 5 dollars because it was salmon from Norway (like I really care?), and honestly my friend would have fought it but I was already in a horrible mood from my day and the wait I just let it go...I just wanted my sushi. It took 45 minutes to get our 2 orders...2 orders I repeat. The restaurant was so consumed with serving the big table they forgot they had other patrons as well. The food was great but my experience was horrible. What was supposed to be an hour/hour and a half dinner turned into a 3 hour nightmare. Great sushi, but if that's how they treat students - I won't be going back.
