Sushi Work by Chef Zar in Pangasinan

"Unbeknownst to people, chef Zar is the original Japanese chef in Dagupan. So the food there definitely tastes authentic!"

"Best sushi and sashimi place I’ve tried so far. The restaurant has a clean Japanese vibe and the displays are really cool. I love sushi, but theirs hits different. It’s so good, and the portions are big with plenty of toppings. I don’t usually eat raw salmon, but this place changed that for me. I could eat their salmon every day. It melts in your mouth—soft, buttery, no weird smell or taste at all. The other dishes are just as good, especially the salmon salad. Overall, I really enjoy this place. Every time we go to S&R Calasiao, we end up having dinner here after. If I’m right, this is already my fifth time. And just yesterday (Nov 15, 2025), we even got them to cater for my Tita’s 60th birthday. As expected, their food presentation was top tier, but the sushi and sashimi stole the show. I swear, the sashimi was so good I practically died. The best!"

"A wonderful sushi place in Dagupan City! For my sashimi cravings and japanese snackies - this place has everything! And not too pricey! Truly value for your money! Clean, cold, comfy and staff is remarkably friendly! Didn’t have time for dine in so i had mine to go - and it was packed great! Was able to enjoy my sashimi at home! Will definitely go back! Try everything on their menu! They have Carmen’s Best, too! Yum!"

"This place truly delivers an authentic Japanese dining experience. Every dish was rich in flavor and clearly made with fresh ingredients. The restaurant is spotless and well-kept, with a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that made us feel right at home. Plus, the open parking was a big bonus—no stress looking for a spot. We'll definitely be coming back."

"Food is great! We always go here whenever we'd like authentic Japanese food for dinner. Their ramen is very very good, as well as the gyoza and the sushi. Service is superb! Staff is excellent, kind and accommodating. The parking at the place is kinda limited, can accommodate several vehicles at a time."

"It’s a decent place to get food if you want to fill your belly with lunch or end the day with a feast during dinner. It’s moderately spacious but cozy enough that you don’t feel like you’re in a very cramped space. The waiting time is practically non-existent especially if you’re with people. The food is filling even with just one serving, the side dishes are literal side dishes as in optional food if there’s extra space. I’d definitely go here a second time."

"Very affordable, very yummy!!! They were fast to serve us also All the side dishes are so good and of course the ramen is so goooood!"

"I had lunch at Sushi Works on a weekday, and it was a great experience! The place wasn’t too crowded, and the service was friendly and quick. I ordered the pork katsu and California maki, both were delicious and freshly made. Definitely worth a visit for good Japanese food!"
