Customer Review Summary
Diners most often praise the sushi itself, describing it as freshly made and great quality, with one reviewer calling the nigiri the best they have had. Good selection and good value come close behind, and several describe the service as friendly and efficient. One group of five friends notes that only two staff were working yet they had a great time, and that the man handling their payment as a group of teenagers was quite funny. Another reviewer calls the place clean. A takeout customer says the restaurant looks still in the midst of being set up and suggests takeout until the renovation works are completed, though the food was unaffected. Two reviewers were disappointed. One found the chicken ramen soup heavily spicy and different from what was advertised, and the avocado nigiri too hard, leaving only rice to eat. Another says the rolls came with poor salmon, so they were little more than rice. Both say they will not order again.

“Order sushi, but get some rolls with rice only don't get salmon. Not putting good salmon. Very bad sushi. I will never again order here sushi.”

“I have never had any big issues with Watling Sushi as my nearest sushi place is Yo! Sushi at Bluewater. But this time round, I am highly disappointed. My chicken ramen soup has had a complete face lift to when I used to have and what is advertised on Just Eat. Heavily spicy, way too spicy for me to eat, so I couldn't. The avocado nigri... the avocado was too hard... so all I've had to eat is rice this evening. Because of his experience, I won't be eating there again, and that's £20 down the drain :(”

“The sushi was great and freshly made. Ordered online and then went to pickup myself. The restaurant looks new and still in the midst of being built and set up however that didn't affect the food at all. Would recommend to get take out until all the renovation works are completed. However once completed I wouldn't hesitate to eat in with the family.”
