Sushi Qu is amazing! Their service I always impeccable and friendly. The portions are large and always very tasty! Not a single item I've tried that was bad! We love the veggie ramen, spicy tuna rolls and Saba. read more

Arrived as soon as they opened. Be prepared to wait 1 hour for your sushi while the cooks and employees warm up. My food was take-out and people dining in ate and left while I still waited for an order of 4 rolls. Never coming back. read more

Giving them a one star for horrible customer service. I placed an order for a sushi roll and I didn't realize they wrote it wrong on the receipt, called them and said to take them back the roll and they would make us the one we ordered, after a minute I received a call back from rep and manager saying that it was too expensive to remake a roll and that we should have caught it earlier as the receipt is on the bag. If we wanted the roll we needed to pay again. We even checked our ring camera to make sure we ordered correctly and as we stated to them we did. This is ridiculous, took them back their roll and left. Never going back to this place again! read more

Went there tonight on a recommendation of a co worker, food was okay lacked flavor. Unfortunately customer service was the worst I have ever experienced, we got there right at 5 waitress already seemed irritated that we wanted to sit inside, we sat down. We kindly asked if we could close the door cause obviously it was freezing we were told multiple times NO we talked to other patrons there they also said it was so cold that they asked to be moved. We weren't given that option. The waitress there is RUDE, there is no service with a smile, obviously she is unhappy that is working on a Saturday night. Food took 45-50mins to come out one by one I was already done by the time my sister in law got her food. Safe to say this place was one and done. Save yourself the trip and go elsewhere. read more

I know its quarantine and hours are rocky! But its very annoying when you call to ask for closing hours and they say one thing and when you go to place an order "oh im sorry we're closing a little early today" well guess what! No! If you have a business stick to your word. Reason why i always go to Imuras but the day i decide to try something local this bs happens! read more

Very friendly customer service & appreciated your longer serving hours. Got a take out late-lunch. Tasty, but tempura didn't travel very well. Lost it's crunch. Would try again, certainly when dine-in returns. Thanks. read more

Love their CA roll sushi. Went there on a Sat. 1:15 pm, no customers, waited for "25 minutes" for 3 CA rolls to be made. Everyone was standing around including the sushi chef's. There was no rush, no customer service. Isn't this why you're in business? No matter how good I think this sushi is, we won't come back. read more

If you like RICE buy your sushi rolls at Sushi Q I took three rolls home, the rolls of mainly Rice!! and a small amount of salmon and avocado were so big I could not get them in my mouth after removing enough rice to make them a reasonable size I had over 15 Oz of left over rice. Not the way to sell sushi read more

We come here whenever we are in town 3-4 times a year. Sushi is always fresh and very filling. I love the chicken teriyaki dinner box. Always go home stuffed Great customer service. read more

These sushi's are delicious! I really recommend trying them. They have great customer service too.

This place is so clean, the service is wonderful and the food is great! They have good portions, and the fish tastes very fresh!

Fantastic Sunomono, fresh sushi, perfect chicken udon soup, the owner talked to the kids and put on their show on the TV. Fast service and clean restrooms. Can't recommend this place enough. read more

Food is inconsistent. Sometimes it's okay and there's other days that are just underwhelming. The rice is hard and the variety of sushi is bad compared to IMURAS which is better. The lady owner is very rude and employees have expressed how underpaid they are while serving me food. Which threw me off. Anyway please avoid coming into this establishment read more

Great sushi and fantastic people. Our favorite neighborhood spot to make our bellies and our hearts full.

My 1st experience was excellent. The service was quick and efficient. My 2 combo meal, was more than enough. Crab and shrimp tempura was perfect. Our meal was hot and the little extras, were a nice surprise. Consider this my favorite now. Plus, a 1st at a Japanese restaurant, I had leftovers. Tomorrow's treat. Enjoy! read more

Excellent quality of sashimi. Thick slices of hamachi. Soooo fresh. Wait staff is very nice and friendly. Highly recommend.

The sashimi is fresh and tastes great! I really come here for the ramen especially on cold nights. I always order the "hang over" ramen. It has beef broth with beef and an egg. Best ramen in Watsonville!! The owners are very nice people and they take care of their customers. read more

Came on recommendation from friends. It's a new place so I hope they take this as feedback to improve their service and food. In all fairness, I heard they heard they just moved so hopefully they work out their kinks. 1. Sushi rice - semi crunchy and fell apart 2. Ordered one of their "popular" rolls. Rice made it messy to eat. Lacked flavor. Coursely cut fish which you'd expect more refinement in their sushi cutting skills 3. Waitress took ordered but not knowledgeable of what's available. 3 items ordered they were out of 4. Bathrooms - bathroom outside the venue, needed directions to get access. No direction sign anywhere. Everyone looking for it. People in the back eating had to help people come in and out of the back door to the bathroom. Key that was needed to use the bathroom did not work. 5. Miso soup - weak taste, lacked richness of miso flavor. My 9 year old daughter who loves miso couldn't finish hers. 6. Unagi hand roll, only top half had unagi, 2nd half filled with rice filler. Almost $10 for half full hand roll. 7. Ikura handroll - couldn't make it. First time in a sushi shop not able to make it. Niguri only. Came back to say they were out of it. 8. Ordered okonomiyaki- Japanese pancake. Waitress wasn't familiar with it. Ordered it. And it was out. 9. Ordered water but it was brought out after the food. Waited a while for it. 10. Service friendly and nice though. Coming back in 6 months. Hope it's improved! Going to Miyuki's down the road until then. read more

(April 2021) Worst sushi I've ever had in my life. So I called to place a pickup order and they immediately asked to put me on hold, fine no big deal, but they never muted the phone so I heard everything that was going on for about 10 mintues. I heard them say that they thought it was a wrong number...I'm still on the line. After 10 minutes of waiting I decided to hang up and call back again and they begrudgingly answered and immediately questioned.. "yeah it's for takeout"? No 'hello' or anything. I gave them my order for 2 rolls and they said it'd be 40-45 minutes. That seemed like a long time for 2 rolls but I thought maybe they were busy, maybe a good sign? My bf got there a little early (maybe 30 mins later) and the cook/chef was sitting down at a table conversing what seemed to be his family or friends. When he said he was there to pick up said order the cook/chef seemed annoyed that he had to 'get back to work'. One of the rolls I got was a deep fried roll and it was so disgusting. It looked huge like a burrito but it was all rice with maybe (and I want to emphasize MAYBE) a nickle size amout of filling. Also the ends of the roll were not enclosed so the filling that was spilling out burnt to a black crisp making the ends of that roll completely inedible. I've never throw sushi away until I went here. The reviews about how much rice they put into their rolls is correct. Also the fish smelled bad and not fresh at all. I feel like you could get better quality at the Staff of Life next door. OR drive a couple blocks and go to miyuki. You'll pay the same but for better quality fish and better customer service. read more

Sushi Qu is has the best tasting tempura, rice, miso soup, beef teriyaki and salmon teriyaki in Watsonville or Santa Cruz and Monterey county at an affordable price. As for the raw sushi and rolls fresh good quality and not smelly. I would totally recommend this place yum'o. read more

This review is long overdue, we went here after we found out it had just open for business sp we decided to give it a try. Long story short we didn't finish it, fish tasted like it has been sitting out for a while not fresh, every bite was a struggle. we tipped then left feeling like I wanted to vomit. Well my gf actually did get sick and ended up throwing up after eating there..that was our experience so you be the judge and decide to try it yourself or skip and go somewhere else.... read more

Sushi Qu - Yup not worth the $60+ bill in my opinion - Sushi Bars Near Me - Watsonville, California

Wow! Such good food! Went in for lunch (1:30pm ish). Tiny place for a more intimate dining experience! Though not sure what dinner time looks like. Was my first time, definitely won't be my last! Cannot wait to try the ramen, which smelled delicious! If I wasn't stuffed on delicious sushi!! I would have ordered it! Patrons ordered ramen, spicy with egg! Waitress was super helpful and answered all questions! Cannot wait to skip sushi garden for this wonderful establishment again! Compliments to the Chef! YUM! read more

First time at Sushi QU with my love one, we had heard the food was good and the price was better than other sushi places in Watsonville which are now ridiculous high. We were optimistic which usually tends to be a let down, but let me tell you this want the case this time. Service was friendly and professional and place was very clean. We highly recommend this new place to all or fellow sushi lovers. Food is fresh, rolls are big and tasty. We enjoyed a complete dinner for $22, last time we had dinner at another sushi place in Watsonville the tab was about $48 for the same amount of foods. read more

I really enjoy this cozy place. It's our go to datenight restaurant. The food is tasty, the staff is very friendly and the service is great. If you like jalepenos I recommend the "Calmate Roll", yumm! The fried sushi rolls are a bit heavy for my taste but don't let that stop you from trying it out for yourself, it might be your favorite fried roll yet. (p.s. mixing sriracha with soy sauce is an excellent dip) read more

I went here awhile ago and I did get sick from the food here that night. As much as I did love the service from our friendly server the food wasn't up there. I wish it was. The sushi tasted like it was sitting out awhile. The crab tasted very fishy in a bad way. Like it had been marinating in a fish juice. I didn't finish my sushi because I felt like I would get sick, which I did that night. I've never had this experience at other sushi places I've been to, so it took my by surprise when this happened. Honestly I hope this place does better in the future but for now I would not come back unless I know the food is really fresh. read more

Tried this place out since it is a newer restaurant in Watsonville. Nothing exciting going on here, but wasn't bad. We had a total of 4 rolls and a teriyaki chicken/rice bowl. It was all fresh enough and tasted ok. The place is clean and the waitress was reAlly friendly. Bottom line if Imura's is closed then I would come here, otherwise I'd pass. read more

Poor customer service, wife of the owner was rude!! I was trying to support their business by buying local but after my visit I am not coming back anymore or my family!! I rather go to Imuras!!! read more

Came here to try it out. The sushi location is cute and it's really small in there made me feel like I was back in Japan. The sushi was a whole different story though. To be honest it was a bit pricey and it wasn't good. I took my order to go and when I got home to eat it it was awful! They put mayo which over powered everything. I would not come here again. Sorry sushi Q Xoxo GG read more

This place is a quaint little spot, tucked in the corner of the East Lake village shopping center, next to Super Max. The wait staff was super friendly and attentive. Everything we tried was excellent. The fish was super fresh. They have an excellent assortment of specialty rolls. read more

Great fresh sushi, generous helpings and reasonable prices. What more can you ask for? Especially in comparison to the more upscale Kauboi's in Aptos. read more

I went in for the first time the other day - excited to cross this place off my list! Was not very impressed. I ordered the G-Roll and was left desiring more. The rice was cold and hard, like when you refrigerate sticky rice. The crab tasted wayyyy too much like imitation crab. Sauces were okay. I would rate it a few steps higher than Safeway, many many steps lower than Imuras. My husband had a lunch box and I tasted the chicken teriyaki and tempura. Also wasn't amazing but it wasn't bad. The teriyaki sauce is a thick sauce, versus other places where they marinate the chicken in teriyaki and THEN cooked. Staff is friendly. Ambiance is cute. Price is great! (Lunch box, G-Roll + Tip = $30 total) I'm guessing if you like simple easy rolls, Qu is your place! For something a little more dynamic (but also pricier) head over to Imuras. read more

They now have outside sitting which was a great experience on a perfect night like today!!Enjoyed my dinner special plus u cant go wrong with the large sake bomb which comes with large warm Sake and a ur choice of large beer ...it was enough for two of us We shall return again!! read more

Best sushi spot in the county! Always fresh and creative. The dining room is clean and everyone is friendly. Highly recommend!

Rolls were really good. The only complain would be that the rice needs to be more sticky. We had a hard time eating the rolls due to it falling apart. Overall a good little place to have dinner and the price is just right for sushi. read more

This is REALLY good sushi: a small, new place in the East Lake shopping center. Smaller than nearby Miyuki's and Sushi Garden, they are trying hard and really deliver great service and EXCELLENT sushi: better than the competition. Give it a try and support them! read more

I love love love this place! This is my go to place for the Hawaiian poke! The fish just seems more fresh there then any other sushi place here in Watsonville. And the sushi chef is funny and friendly! The only down side is the place. It's kinda small but I don't mind. read more

The Best! We always have a wonderful experience here. Jun,Jenny,and staff are always friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is great- it's a cozy little spot with outside seating as well.

Everything I've tried on the menu has been really tasty. read more

Wish I could give less stars! WORST DINING EXPERIENCE EVER! Arrived after trying out Fruition. The place was a little crowded inside, but they had adequate servers, so we decided to give it a try. We were seated right away and our drink order was taken at the same time. Drinks arrived quickly, plus! I ordered my son's food straight away and it came within minute, again plus! Then the whole dining experience went to garbage :( We ordered a few rolls and 45min later, BUT ONLY AFTER confronting the staff did, they finally arrive. Plus side, the rolls seem to be made with real crab (huge plus!) and the fish does seem fresh. However, if you want to eat the roll, good luck! As soon as you grab it, it turns to mush. In addition to the "mush roll issue," the "$13.50 special" roll we ordered was covered in SO much sriracha we couldn't even eat it (& we LOVE SPICE!!). NEVER EVER WILL COME BACK. Are you on the fence on trying it? DON'T!! There are far better sushi places that are close. read more
