This place is really terrific. A small yet efficient staff that put out great food with consistency. I've been a customer since they first opened and have watched the business grow in popularity and style. Surprised to see it isn't as busy as some of the other sushi joints in town. Sushi Qu is a must visit. Try the Angry Bird Roll! read more

Fresh, quality, and everything is always prepared with creativity & skill. The owners and staff are warm and welcoming and they keep the restaurant very clean. I appreciate the fact that they take pride in every detail; the miso soup is hands-down the best I've ever had and same goes for the miso dressing on the house salad (literally licked the bowl, sorry). Best sushi ever! read more

My first review of this place was a 5/5. The servers were nice, had edemame on the house and the meal was delicious & cheap. With such a great first experience I obviously strived to go back. But the service this time was disappointing. We didn't get our drinks or order taken until at least 15 minutes after being seated and once my food was ordered the waiter kept missing parts of the meal. We literally had to remind him 4 times because he missed our soups, our salad, then we didn't get utensils and at the end he forgot to bring half of my entree. Was disappointed with the service. I felt as if the waiter was not 100% there, probably high or something. Will return because the food is still amazing and cheap but if that waiter is there I won't step in the door. If you're curious which waiter you should avoid, he has a bowl haircut. read more

I went in specifically for the okonomiyaki and I was told I was a day too late. No longer available! This was the first and last visit for me. Sorry. read more

Great sushi! Small place if you have a bigger party def call ahead. Made a reservation for 7 and they had it ready for us. Sake on the house and green tea ice cream. I would definitely come again! read more

This is my favorite restaurant in Watsonville! Jun and Jenny and the waitstaff gals treat us like family and always go the extra mile to make sure we're happy and well fed. The fish is always fresh, the ramen spicy, the soju cold, and the staff friendly. For years and years I was a die hard fan of one of the other sushi spots in town and then we tried this place and I ultimately decided the food was equally good but the prices and service are better so I'm a full Sushi Qu convert now! read more

Most amazing sushi Grate price big and I mean huge sushi rolls and there ramen is amazing too will make this my favorite sushi place in town read more

I don't usually venture outside of my favorite Sushi restaurants but this place recently opened near my house. It's a small little place but you could tell the other customers were regulars. We ordered 4 rolls 2 miso soups and edamame. Everything was fresh and delicious. Great service too! read more

Sushi Qu - Moonlight roll, sooo good!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Watsonville, California

Very good sushi, and better than other places in Watsonville. Reasonably priced with great combo/bento meals and sushi combos. I have really liked everything I've ordered over numerous visits. read more

Food is good. Service is not. I went to Sushi Qu with some friends, as soon as the guy took our order and dropped it off he never came back to check up on us. I noticed they didn't check up on anyone else at the restaurant. Also, they forgot to make my sushi roll, this was all caused when the chefs friends came in and got distracted. I told him about it and he gave me attitude. The food tasting good is very important, obviously, but service is just as important. I had to get up my seat 3 times to ask for water. A friend of mine warned me about this place being terrible at customer service, but I wanted to see for myself. And it's true. If you plan to eat somewhere where they never check up on you, and give you attitude when you confront them, this is the perfect place to go. read more

I went here before with a friend and the rolls were quite tasty. The price is around the average for a sushi place. Today I was craving for a baked roll and called in California Gate roll. The roll was tasty but the salmon was a little under cooked and the roll was not tightly wrapped. The service was good the staff was friendly. read more

Sushi Qu - California Gate roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Watsonville, California

See all

I live next door to Sushi Qu. They see me walking to the supermarket almost every day. I've only been in to eat a few times a month but they always wave and say hi to my 3yo. Service is fantastic and the food is great. My favorite sushi in Watsonville. read more

Love, love, love sushi! if you love spicy food try their habanero sauce on top of your rolls. The rolls were fresh and a good size too. The host/waitress had fantastic customer service. She was very knowledgable with the menu and her recommendations were tasty! I didn't get her name, but thank you for your help! read more

My wife and I knew about this place but until today never tried it out. We'll after today it is safe to say we will be going back. The combo dinners were awesome. Great flavor and big servings. The sushi is awesome we had the crab city and the snowball rolls. They were very big and had lot's of flavor. This place is tucked into a little corner of older strip mall but don't let that deter you from eating there. Place is small but I like it feels more intimate. Plus they have a few tables for outdoor seating. The staff was very nice and we're very attentive. Prices are average for a sushi place. read more

OK , No idea why this place has No reviews, the lunch combos and specials are really good. the prices are even better. people lets lets the secret out. read more

Great little spot. They handled a broken sake glass and an 18 month old like pros. Server was quick to provide coloring pad and crayons without being asked, and when our little one had enough of the place and demanded we leave they were kind enough to box up $60 worth of nigiri and were nothing but kind a about it. Thank you for treating us so well. If we are in the area again we would return in a heart beat! read more

Food was good... the rolls were substantial and had great flavor, but we're not wrapped tightly enough. I had the Angry Bird roll which was the spicy and delicious. Our waitress forgot one of our rolls and it took 30 min for it to finally show up when we were all done. read more

Just finished my take out roll. Pleasantly surprised and immediately had to go on Yelp to see if anyone has realized how good it is. Had the greenfield roll- the mango inside was ripe yet not mushy.l- almost candied. The crab salad was tangy and full flavored. Tasted like it was caught today and pulled off the vine at sunset. Really impressed with the flavor. Sat outside and had a drink while waiting- waitress was great. This is my new favorite place in shopping center for take away. read more

Ok, only 1 guest in there when I walked in. Both waitresses looked at me as if I walked in to the wrong place. I had to ask them if it was cool if I can grab a menu and eat here since they didn't offer. I sat myself and after a few minutes waitress came over and asked if I was ready, I said sure, whatever you recommend, I'll take it. Her reply was everything is good. I order from a huge selection of menu items without being able to get any consensus from the waitress. Food comes, a few more people come in. I'm almost done eating and would really appreciate a glass of water or some more hot tea, something. I've got two bites left and waitress finally comes over and asks if I can move to another table so a group that wasn't even all in the door yet, can sit down. In my head, I'm thinking she should be asking me how everything is and telling the group it'll be about 5 minute wait. Not. I just asked for the check instead. Lame. Most of my food that they gave me time to eat was good. read more

First time here. Place is small, some outside seating. Sushi chef was friendly, but that is where it ends. Wait staff needs a lot of help in becoming more efficient. They weren't friendly, lacked in getting orders out in order (soup before beverage) not bring out plates for sushi and not checking on guest. We had to ask for stuff and heard other tables doing the same. It's not a very big place so I wouldn't expect this to be hard. One good wait staff could handle it with ease. Now, the sushi we had was good. Everything tasted fresh, generous serving and was plated nicely. Pricing was good. read more

the owner was very rude & after she realized she snapped on me she tried to cover it up by smiling and telling me to have a good day but that didn't work out. the food is a solid 4.5 stars but the attitude and customer service is 1. couldn't make the bad taste in my mouth go away read more

Fabulous place! The sushi is fresh and delicious, and the prices are very reasonable. We were amazed to find such a great place so close to home, and will be going back many more times. Highly recommended. read more

Good food. Great prices. Generous portions. We usually get the combo plate; sashimi and teriyaki chicken. We always have leftovers. Which isn't a bad thing. read more

We visited on Mother's Day afternoon- sat at one of the outside tables and it was a really nice afternoon. We arrived about 5:30 - so there was a crush of patrons right after opening, so it took a while to get our food but like I said- it was nice to sit outside. We started with a large sake, and the deep fried golden Ahi and Tempura roll, another large sake and a combo tempura plate. Like others say, generous portions and decent service for 66.00 including tip for the two of us. Had enough to take home too! read more

Great albacore tuna and a wonderful place to unwind. Owners are great and the sushi is always fresh and yummy!

This is the worst sushi I have ever had, I got the golden philly roll and it tasted like cat food. The place is nice I really wanted to like it but unfortunately won't be returning. And the waitress kept telling us that they were about to close and didn't allow us to eat inside there was still half and hour from when our food arrived. read more

My favorite sushi place in Watsonville. They also serve Ramen and other specials. The priced are great and the staff is friendly.

great customer service but the rolls are extremely big if you get them fried as well my rolls had no flavor nor did they make them how i asked read more

first time at sushi qu.......very good sushi and salmon for the price we'll definitely be back ....we had california roll, miso soup and salmon as takeout..........i would recommend to everyone mickey read more

I have debated writing a review on this place because I am fearful that my hidden gem will not be so hidden anymore, but I have to give credit where due. This place is awesome! Fresh fish, kind staff and wonderfully competitive prices as well as generous portions. A must go to for any Watsonville resident or visitor. read more

Husband & I have been waiting a while to give this place a try. It's very close to our house so we've been chomping at the bit, but we wanted to wait for all the kinks to get worked out, and let more positive reviews roll in before we took a chance. We placed a to-go order last night so I can't speak to the service, but can definitely rate the food. Let me just say, coming from two VERY snobby-ish sushi lovers....the food was SPECTACULAR. The rolls were not only beautiful, but had LARGE chunks of fish in each. They definitely didn't skimp on the fresh fish, which makes their prices totally fair and completely worth it. The combination of flavors was absolutely incredible. The Geisha roll was probably my favorite! Thanks Sushi Qu! We will absolutely be back very soon :) read more

I ordered to go and it took literally an hour! We thought it was because they were busy but it we went in there and no one was around.. Also they got our orders wrong.. Completely wrong same concept of a roll but different things inside we know wasn't in that roll. Not wasting 45 bucks on two rolls again read more

First visit here. Small little place but seemed pleasant. My wife and l ordered several rolls to try. We liked them all! They come with a kind of sauce over and next to the rolls which was interesting. I don't think it added much to the flavor but made the plate look more interesting. We had the Mochi for dessert which were as yummy as always. We will be going back again soon. read more

We love this restaurant. Its our Friday night spot. Fish is always fresh. It's nice that it's small and you get to know the owner and staff. Huge menu if you like that. We see all sorts of wonderful dishes go by. Super creative rolls. Our favorite is Nigiri/sashimi dinner and chicken teriyaki/sashimi dinner.We're not that creative ourselves but we aways leave happy and full. read more

my new favorite sushi spot in watsonville! the menu has lots of excellent choices and the sushi is fresh and very well made. i was being a little bit picky and the cook came out to suggest what he felt would best fit my taste buds and he was right on point! soup is also amazing! also priced very well read more

First time eating here. I liked it. Flavors were good and everything tasted fresh. My only issue was the two rolls i got weren't wrapped tight enough. They fell apart really easily...but even fallen apart, they tasted good! read more

I go to this place once a week and have never been anything but beyond satisfied. I LOVE THIS PLACE! Great food, great prices and such nice staff. I order take out most of the time and yes, sometimes the wait is long (very, very rare and only really on Friday/ Saturday nights), but it is soooooo worth it and only means they are obviously the best!! I will never go to any other place. Ever. Sushi Qu is the BEST!!!! read more

I love this place. It's very reasonably priced. The food is always good. The servings are just the right size. It's close to my neighborhood and really cute. Never disappointed when we eat there. read more

Sushi Qu is located next to a small grocery store just a few blocks up the street from Miyuki. With about 12 tables, including several on a nice-sized covered patio, it's a hole-in-the-wall in the best sense of the term. The sushi chef is both affable and talented. His rice was cooked perfectly, served in perfect proportion and temperature beneath generous slices of fresh fish. While the selection of fish seems to be somewhat limited (no salmon eggs or skin) they do offer a large selection of creative, well-priced rolls. I wasn't sure what to get so I went conservative and ordered a rainbow roll. Formed perfectly, the nigiri was huge and the fish tasted awesome. The roll was absolutely huge. An app of veggie tempura was f'ing great. The batter was thin but crispy, just the way I like it, and the portion was huge. Quite a deal. I intended to order a hand roll or two but I was too full!. I've now been to the 3 top Watsonville sushi restaurants in the past 2 weeks and I'd rank this as my all around favorite. read more

Hate to leave a 3 star, but the wait staff are clearly not trained and service was completely lacking and slow. The sashimi wasn't fresh - and you could tell it had been frozen and unfrozen multiple times from the texture. I'm sure the staff is trying, but ownership needs to step up. read more
