WATAMI Sushi & Grill in Gersthofen

They've been going for years with consistently good quality. Previous reviews about poor quality and service definitely can't be confirmed. Of course, guests with high gourmet expectations are out of place at a 3-star restaurant.

Overpriced for what it is. Tap water for 4€ 😅 food was okay, sadly everything had the same sauce on top which made it taste the same and it was really greasy. Wouldn’t go again..

Very friendly and polite service staff. Good and fast service. Delicious freshly prepared food.

A flawless visit, with super tasty and fresh food. The restaurant is absolutely clean and the employees are incredibly friendly, especially towards children. Definitely recommended and it wasn't the last time we were there.

The service is always nice and we visit this place almost every month. The only minimal complaint I have is the fact that they change the recipes a bit every now and then

I've been going there for a long time because I like the sushi. Unfortunately, all you can eat is becoming more and more expensive. The quality has also deteriorated somewhat. Some foods tasted better in the past and some foods took forever. Noodles from round 1 were not delivered until after round 4. Stupid because you don't dare to order again because you don't know whether you'll be able to do everything when it comes at some point. Everything was ok and still very, very tasty, but given the price, the whole thing should have been quicker, especially since the place wasn't overcrowded. And a little more selection outside of sushi would also be nice.

Everything was delicious and the staff was very friendly

I can only recommend this really great shop. The service is quick and very friendly. The food was very good.

Anyone who praises the food here generally eats very below average. We were very disappointed. There are 2-3 things that taste pretty good (meat) but the sushi... Really the worst sushi we've ever eaten. A lot of rice, hardly any filling and then unfortunately the filling wasn't very good either. The rice was completely overcooked and wasn't pressed properly when rolling, and the sushi kept falling apart. Generally very little choice, we have already eaten several tablet all-you-can-eats. As an example: there are only 2 types of ice cream for dessert - and that is sesame and green tea. We had seen great food photos here on Google and also a long menu. But that must have been years ago... The price is also a bit too expensive. The service was at least super fast and very friendly. Unfortunately we won't be coming back.

Very good food. Tapas in Japanese, very sociable. Unfortunately, a point is deducted from the service, as you only get two hours at lunchtime.

A nice place in itself and if you like it technically fun but impersonal then this is definitely the right place. Everything looks nice but the taste is not convincing.

A bit expensive, but the food is really tasty! 🍱🍣

Very tasty food. As always, we had all you can eat. Individual portions come quickly, very friendly staff. The restaurant is on two floors, connected by a spiral staircase. Toilet is upstairs. There is an elevator.

Excellent quality sushi. Easy ordering via tray with super fast and friendly service. You can sit comfortably after your meal and not be asked out after 2 hours (like in many other restaurants). We always enjoy coming as a family and even in small groups.

Everything was great and delicious. Gladly again at any time! :)

Great restaurant! Good sushi quality, we like to come here regularly!

You're an interesting principle that convinced me. I'll be happy to recommend you.

Unfortunately, I didn't manage to take photos of the food in time, we were too fast, but everything was great!

My favorite restaurant for years. Everything was great, nothing negative. Hopefully everything stays as it is.

Great “all you can eat” concept. 10 rounds with up to 5 little things each are possible. Nice service and tastes excellent.

Highly recommended. Delicious. All-you-can-eat. It was a fun evening.

A nice restaurant, here you can order individual dishes from the menu or all you can eat from a tray. Unfortunately, the dishes are always the same and never change! You can order up to 5 small portions every 10 minutes. Unfortunately, some things that were ordered in the first round only arrive in the third round or even later or not at all! The coconut balls are very tasty, but last time they weren't crispy but similar to mocci, which was disgusting. Outside the door there is a large parking lot with tall trees in which flocks of crows nest all year round. The whole parking lot is covered in dirt and you have to be careful not to get shot while walking through it.

Very tasty and really quick delivery to the table

Ate sushi here for the first time. It was amazing.

I haven't eaten so much or so well in a long time.... Staff friendly, nice, accommodating and keep it up quickly!

We have eaten here many times and every time it has been very good. It's a bit drafty in the window seats, but the rest is really fine. Fast service, very friendly and very good food. We'd love to come back every time!

Food was great, only a few orders waited 30 minutes. Otherwise there is a need for improvement here.

A new experience. Order via tablet. The food came super quickly and was also very good. Great environment. Definitely again soon.

Delicious food, fast service, large selection from sushi to salad to delicious dessert, I'll always come back

All you can eat, order food via I pad - a great entertaining experience. Food is very tasty! Service very friendly and fast! Highly recommended for large groups or celebrations.

Very great, everything was great😍

This is by far one of the best all you can eat sushi restaurants we have visited so far. You get a tablet at the table and can order 5 dishes per person over several rounds. The selection is really large and there are several dishes to order in different directions. From sushi to salads and bowls, seafood, fried dishes, rice meat, soups and desserts. The drinks cost extra, but the selection is very large. After round 3 or 4 we were already more than full and then only ordered individual dishes or dessert. A really cool restaurant, the atmosphere is really nice and the food tasted good.

All in all ok. The salads and fried dishes were delicious. Unfortunately, the fried salmon was a bit dry and the sushi was below average. For €35 I would have expected a little more quality, especially with the sushi. The service, however, was top.

Unfortunately, the noodle “ramen” takes a long time to be delivered. You've already gotten everything else and ordered something for the second time until the noodles finally show up. Otherwise everything was very fresh and super tasty.

I used to enjoy coming here regularly. Unfortunately the quality of the food has deteriorated. Is it cheaper to buy? Would like to come back more often.

Fast and friendly service. The food is delicious and arrives quickly😊😊 P.S the waiters are hot 🤭

Very nice Sushi Temple, with great staff and ambience. The Sunday brunch is particularly recommended

Simply wonderful! Great service, great team and very good food. Ambiance is a dream!

Always worth a visit 👌 Food is super delicious Simply perfect 👍🏻👍🏻

At first the music was very loud. After I told the waiter this, they immediately turned back. The food was very good as always! ☺️

Fantastic sushi experience at Watami! I was recently in the restaurant in Gersthofen and was completely impressed. The sushi was simply incredibly delicious – fresh, perfectly prepared and of excellent quality. The selection of sushi variations was huge, and there were also many other Japanese dishes to choose from, so there was something for every taste. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive and we received a very warm welcome. The waiting times for our food were short, even though the restaurant was busy. The atmosphere in the restaurant was very pleasant and inviting. The atmosphere was stylish and cozy, so you could feel really comfortable. I can only warmly recommend Watami and am already looking forward to my next visit!

The food was simply top 👍 and always there quickly! The chef was like David Copperfield!

We've been going there since it opened. The staff is super nice and polite and just great. The food is amazing and of high quality. Price performance appropriate. Ordering the buffet conveniently via tablet is brilliant. I can only recommend it. There are endless parking spaces and barrier-free. Also no problem going to dinner with a stroller👍🏻

Nice atmosphere, staff really nice. Ordering via tablet is unusual at first, but very pleasant. The portions are really small, so you can try a lot. Since the same orders arrive together on one plate, you have to talk to each other, which I think is great. It was a very fun evening. Thanks to the whole team.

Modern restaurant with friendly staff and good food. Ordering via tablet is a great concept. Unfortunately, some sushi orders didn't come at all. Without a reservation you probably won't get a seat on Saturday. Booking time of 2 hours is a bit short if you want to spend the evening comfortably.

Delicious food and cozy atmosphere (the chairs could be a little higher and some tables wobble). I thought the concept of ordering with a tablet was really great.

The law has little to do with Japanese, 3-4 ready-made sauces that are everywhere, far too salty and sweet, overall, the subtle aromas of Japanese cuisine cannot be found, tastes more like the run-of-the-mill Chinese

As always, great service, friendly staff. We go there often and always enjoy coming back.

It just doesn't get any better. Food extremely fresh, value for money very good, service top… Ambience great. I'm definitely going there again

The food is excellent and comes super quickly. Ordering via tablet is new at first, but very pleasant because you have time to look at everything at your leisure.

We've been going to you for a really long time. The quality of the food was really great throughout. The staff and service are always very courteous and extremely friendly. The food comes very quickly after you place your order and there is always a short waiting time. The only thing that could possibly be improved is that we are a bit cold. But don't worry, we will continue to come to you 😉

It's a very good restaurant. You don't have to wait long for your food, but the portions are very small.

Nice service, fast table service and very tasty food

Food is very tasty. The children love special gyoza.

Always nice here. The food tastes really delicious and the service is really friendly and nice.

Nice ambience, friendly service, although the tablet concept is very much in keeping with cost-cutting measures. Ultimately, the orders do not come in the desired order and are also mixed up with the dining partner. If it's two people it's okay, if it's three or more it's stupid. Basically, all can you eat is only for those who are very hungry; women often have less and could eat much more economically by ordering individually. Overall the quality is averagely good, the service instead of the usual carousels makes it a bit more upscale but not in the quality of the food. Therefore, we can easily recommend that authentic Japanese is something else.

There were three of us there and we were more than thrilled. Easy to order via a tray, fast and very friendly service and super delicious food. An absolutely successful and tasty evening. Absolute recommendation.

Food was very tasty, aromatic and beautifully prepared. Ordering via tray also worked well and the food came very quickly despite the restaurant being full. Our children also enjoyed it.

Unfortunately, the food and service have declined somewhat in recent years

The food and service were great.

If sushi then just go to Watami. Great quality of the products. Ordering system via tablet - works 90% of the time. Aisles that are not too narrow. Toilets can be reached via elevator or stairs. Thanks for that New Year's Eve special 2024/25 😍

Completely satisfied, it was a great visit. We always! The food is fresh and tastes excellent The service is simply top

Disappointing experience (again). We visited Watami for the last time a year ago and were already disappointed by the declining quality. We returned last night hoping for improvement, but unfortunately we were disappointed again. The quality of the food was shockingly low. Not only did the salmon seem inferior and the seaweed paper was unpleasantly thick and tough, the frying fat also tasted old and rancid. Many dishes seemed as if they had just been thawed and reheated. The consequences of this culinary faux pas were not long in coming: I had a headache the next morning. We paid 130 euros for four people. A price that would be quite reasonable if the quality of the food had been right. However, there are comparable restaurants in Augsburg that offer a significantly better dining experience for this price. What dismays me most, however, is the seeming indifference of many diners to the quality of the ingredients. The main thing is that your stomach is full and your wallet is spared. No wonder that there are fewer and fewer restaurants that value high-quality ingredients and careful preparation. Despite the disappointing food, I would like to highlight the courteous service that made our stay a pleasant one. For this reason I give it two stars. Recommendation: It is better to look for alternatives in the Augsburg area that offer a better price-performance ratio.

Good selection of food. The salmon nigiris are an absolute dream. Many other dishes were also very tasty, such as shrimp, beef and mushrooms. Only the duck was weak here. The service is very friendly and quick. The ambience is pleasant and modern.

Well, I think after as many years as this restaurant has existed, the menu could be changed. There is only a small selection and the food looks completely different than what is offered. The quality is also relatively poor, the sushi tastes very rubbery and you can tell that it has been sitting there all day. The waiters themselves were all very nice. So we definitely won't come back because the price-performance ratio just doesn't fit.

Leckeres All-you-can-eat Konzept

Anyone who likes sushi or Japanese cuisine is definitely in good hands at Watami. They have by far the best and tastiest sushi around and the other dishes are also very tasty. Everyone can really find something there. The service and the atmosphere there are really good. What I can recommend is the all you can eat offer, which is really well set up in the restaurant with ordering via a tablet. In addition, price-performance ratio is absolutely fine.

Well, the impressions of a restaurant/local are always subjective. The waiter was professional and friendly. The food was good. Not 5 stars, but GOOD! To get to the toilet corridor, you overcome a "rondel staircase". For wheelchair users...Well yes. The price for 2 people was €64.10!! Now we have one more experience...

We were there for my parents' 40th wedding anniversary and even my dad, a skeptic of sushi and Japanese food, was very pleased and happy at the end :)

Great restaurant 👍 very good food, great taste. will come again.👍👍

Always good. The waitresses were very on the ball today. Only the used dishes would have to be cleared away more quickly to make space on the table. The range has now been reduced, but the price has increased. Doesn't fit together... Other providers in Augsburg, for example, also include beef fillet etc. for the same price.

As always, a great visit, fast and friendly service, delicious food and a great ambience

The food is super tasty and the pill ordering is really innovative. The service is super nice and very attentive. The ambience is nice, I personally don't like the high room but that's complaining on a high level.

Was here twice and was totally satisfied again. The service staff are super nice and very quick. The quality of the food is of course top. Update: I think quality has totally deteriorated. Sushi wasn't good at all and criticism wasn't well received either. Price performance is simply no longer right. It's all quite greasy and you'll get full quickly.

We always like to go here because EVERYTHING fits

Very good restaurant. Sushi in all variations. Duck, beef and fish are highly recommended.

Extremely delicious. Everything served quickly. Very friendly

I was there with my wife and she had a panic attack as soon as we decided on the all you can eat. She had ordered one thing and we still had to pay the full price, even though we were there for a maximum of 15 minutes.

A top restaurant. I'm here often too. Price performance top 👍 Employees are always friendly and the food is great

We were there for All You Can Eat Sushi. The food was really satisfying. The service was excellent! Very friendly, quick, polite. I can also highly recommend the green tea ice cream. Definitely not the last time there!

A great atmosphere, attentive and nice staff

Very tasty food, large selection, reasonably priced - especially if you're very hungry. Top service! Happy to come back!

The food is very good, the quality (in my opinion) is not exceptional, which would justify the price. The selection is also rather average but the service is on point. As I said, the price is so high that it is something very special to eat here.

Always very tasty food, but prices in the upper segment

All in all great! Had nothing to complain about, had a lovely birthday evening there :) would be happy to come back

It's to expensive. Could u make a black friday sale down?

Always nice, always tasty, something for everyone

Very very tasty food All you can eat works great, you order on a tray and it is delivered to the table very quickly You can order 5 dishes every 5 minutes There is a lot of choice in salads, meat and sushi

A must for all all you can eat lovers

My expectations were not disappointed. The food was good, it just lacked the aha effect. We chose the “all you can eat” option to order via tablet. The restaurant is clean and the toilets are also very clean.

Very good service and the food was very tasty and clean

Food was very good, unfortunately the selection has become smaller over the years. Still really excellent food. In any case you can't complain. Cheaper prices at lunchtime/more expensive in the evening.

Perfect, nothing more could be possible. Extremely high quality dishes even at all you can eat. Prompt and friendly service, appropriate price and a tablet-based menu that works without any problems. One of the best Asians in Augsburg and the surrounding area.

Watami Restaurant – Great food but room for improvement in serving Watami Restaurant is a great address for anyone who loves Asian cuisine. The food is fresh and of high quality, and the selection on the menu leaves nothing to be desired - from sushi to hot dishes and delicious desserts, there is something for every taste. The flavors are authentic and every dish is prepared with attention to detail. The only drawback: orders from different people are often served on a common plate, which unfortunately leads to confusion. This makes it difficult to know who ordered which dish, which is particularly difficult for larger groups or individual preferences. Here I would like to see a clear separation of the dishes so that everyone gets exactly what they ordered. Overall, Watami is a highly recommended restaurant with a great ambience and friendly staff - with a small adjustment to the serving, the experience could be perfect!

Very friendly, bright atmosphere, service very accommodating and always with a smile on your face, super delicious food, all orders came very quickly, price/performance absolutely top, definitely back soon!

So the rice is really good. The rest isn't worth €35. In addition, there is hardly any choice... they should improve and expand the quality and selection.

Super satisfied They're super fast and the food is great 👍 I can only recommend it ☺️

For me it was the first visit and I found the way of ordering (all-you-can-eat) very original 👍🏻 The food came very quickly and was delicious. I'm already looking forward to the next visit, even though I won't feel hungry for a few more days 😜👍🏻

I can only recommend the restaurant for All You Can Eat if you are a good eater. A la carte, well: The Japanese curry was a little unimaginative. The rice was not washed well and there was too much starch left. The miso soup also has more water than tasty umami. I know it differently. And ginseng ginger tea is incorrectly offered on the menu, but you are served a flavored green tea. I assumed that I would get ginger root as a tea, as is usual for Asians. Green tea with caffeine and bag already steeping in the water which is not necessarily suitable in the evening as some people want to sleep. It's also bagged tea from Dallmayr, which at EUR 4.50 doesn't do justice to the price. As an upscale restaurant I would have expected a little more.

Very modern restaurant built over two floors. The food is chosen from “all you can eat” using the tab handed out by the waitress. Very tasty food the <Fish while the sushi is fresh For those with a sweet tooth, both the macha ice cream and the black sesame ice cream are mega delicious
