Reviews for Watami in Sikeston, MO
I entered front door alone and stood at host stand for about 5 minutes while 3 employees also stood there ignoring me. One woman... was on the phone taking a to go order and 2 young men standing there waiting on her to ask questions. In the meantime, 2 otherpeople enter and stand behind me to in the same general area. By the time lady on phone gets off (we're all waiting on her), shelooks up and says, "party of 3?" No, no! I'm here on my own, not with them. So, apparently only one person is trained to seatcustomers and only she is allowed to greet customers, as the 2 guys didn't acknowledge my presence - incredibly bad firstimpression. I guess Missouri Health Department doesn't care if serving dishes are chipped. 2 of mine were chipped - the bowl themiso soup was in had a huge obvious chip and the little dish one mixes wasabi and soy in was chipped. This next part is ageneral complaint applicable anywhere - I wish parents would train kids not to screech in eardrum piercing screams in publicplaces. There were 2 tables with 2 young kids doing exactly that. The food itself was good and decent, no complaintsthere. Waitstaff needs to be trained in table etiquette - such as not setting down the bill on a table full of dirty, unbusseddishes. My empty, chipped miso soup bowl sat on the table the whole entire meal - bad! When waiter came to set down bill hewalked off not caring about my empty, dirty sushi plate. I gestured for him to take it away and he did, but I shouldn't have hadto do that. Mediocrity reigns in Missouri! Read more
My first time eating at this establishment. The spring rolls were delicious. The fried rice was good as well. I wasn't too big... of a fan of the alcoholic drinks. I tasted more syrup, than liquor. I will try Watami again, but probably will not order anydrinks. Read more

Great place in Sikeston. It has a large menu and plenty of sushi items. I ordered the orange chicken which lacked a bit of... flavor but portion size was huge. Great service as well Read more
Great place to go for Hibachi. Nice staff. Great drinks and HUGE portions
Overall it was a good experience. The sushi was absolutely fantastic. The calamari appetizer was very disappointing, it was... like eating rubber. The sesame chicken on the other hand was disappointing. The flavor was good but the chicken was dry andhard. The salad was fair and the onion soup was very tasty. The next time I will only order the sushi. Read more
I ate at the hibachi grill during my visit to Watami a few days ago. I ordered the volcano roll and fried rice. The sushi was... tasty and the fried rice was exceptional. I ate a few bites of the steak my friend ordered, and it was really good. The portionsare generous sizes. Read more
We had a good experience. We did hibachi for two. The portions were very generous and tasty. The only thing is that the meat,... chicken, shrimp, scallops, and lobster were seasoned with the same sauces. It would have been nicer if there was more varietyin the flavoring. The chef was very entertaining. We ordered a martini and that was very disappointing. It was watered downand would not order any more cocktails there. Otherwise, food was good, place clean, excellent service and friendly staff. Read more
