Watami (Closed)

We were going around Central, when suddenly we spotted Watami, a restaurant with quite long queue. We assume this restaurant should be good, so we joined the line for our dinner.Iced Milk Tea - $2.30I know it sounds peculiar for ordering milk tea in a Japanese restaurant. Indeed, my milk tea wasn't very satisfying, it was a bit diluted.Ishiyaki Beef Pepper Rice - $9.80This dish is similar to Pepper Lunch's Beef Pepper Rice. It seemed like they put more beef slices as compared to Pepper Rice (hen

I ate at the Raffles City branch a few years back and remembered the food and service to be pretty good. However, last night's meal at the Central branch makes me feel that the standard has dropped vastly. Either that or it's just this branch that needs major improvements. I ordered the Self-grilled Beef Steak set ($29) for myself, which consists of the beef, rice, miso soup, salmon sashimi (3 slices), chawanmushi, sliced cucumber appetizer, cold tofu and a wedge of orange.Here's why I was prett

This hot plate dish is my favourite and a must order dish when I visit here. Is basically generous portion of yellow thick noodles stir fried with fresh juicy pork and sweet crunchy shrimps. And it is topped with fragrant thick Japanese dark sweet sauce that make it really delicious. For the price of $10.80 is quite affordable. Restaurant is cosy and comfortable and service is quite nice and fast too.

Purposely went there for our dessert, Watami was the best place to have affordable Japanese Cuisine. The waiting time for queuing was acceptable for me, but my friend showed impatient face. Staff who served us was friendly and tried her best to cheer us up, attitude was good. Delicious Danish bread filling with fresh fruits and chilled ice-cream, it was an exciting taste. The dough was fluffy and chewable topping, it was perfectly matched to each other. Suitable sharing among two person, dessert

I remembered there was a period of time i was quite crazy about Watami. Not that its food was superb, but more for the value and variety. Amongst the casual Jap restaurant chains I must say Watami still wins my heart. I think I didn't come for about a year and was glad to find one in the Clarke Quay area where I was supposed to meet my friend.Well firstly, expect the place to be crowded as due to its value, many large gatherings occur here and this isnt the first time I have noticed this. This t

Hidden at a corner and a little hard to find the main door. Service is pretty slow. The chicken cutlet with egg taste good. The fun thing is that you can beat the egg and pour onto the cutlet and cook together on the stove and off the fire once the egg cook to your liking. Another one that taste not too bad is their sukiyaki. The only down side is that the pot is really shallow and no refilling of the soup. Would prefer more soup to their sukiyaki.

Watami offers a choice of about eight set meals before 5pm that are priced from $9.80++. These are great value as the rice sets are served with a simple soy-dressed salad, miso soup and yourchoice of hot or iced beverage. We tried the Hire Katsu Rice Set $11.80++ which came with a choice of chicken katsu or pork katsu served with rice. A portable stove is brought to the table with a small wrought iron pan containing the katsu. A raw egg is supplied and the diner adds this to the pan when it is

Mochi Cheese Okonomiyaki - $9.90: The pancake batter was adequately flavorful with the cheese strong enough to come through. The brown sauce and mayonnaise added flavours to the pancake. The bonito flakes toppings were savoury but a more generous sprinkle would have been welcomed though.Salmon Bibimbap Set - $12.80: Served in a interestingly big and heavy stone pot. Mixed all the ingredients and the rice together and eat it, yummy. Rice were well seasoned and salmons were fresh and tender. Other

Instead of having a main meal at Watami, I decided to opt for dessert instead. Considered a risky move as I didn't hear any recommendation regarding dessert sold in Watami. After much consideration, I ordered the Coffee Jelly from their dessert menu. First thing up, the presentation. I will rate it a 4/5 stars as I like how elegantly this dessert sit in front of you. Mysterious black coffee pairing with pure white milk and cream topping. Taste wise... sadly a 2.5/5 stars. There's surprisingly ve

This rice served in a hot stone bowl is definietely worth a try! tge rice is fried with garlic and the aroma of the garlic is really fragrant and this makes the rice exceptionally delicious and tasty. The pieces of beef at the top also cooked well with the piping hot rice and this dish is really delicious despite no addition of sauces. Like the sweet corn that is found in the rice.

Watami is one of the popular japanese food chains in Singapore, it used to have extremely long queues when it first opened. The Clarke Quay branch has better ambience than the one at raffles city, and you can have a good view if you get the right seats. I decided to try their baked rice this time. It was rather average, and I didn't quite like the strong tomato-paste taste. But overall a pleasant dining experience

Out of so many set meal choices watami offered, i have ordered the deluxe set for 2 at $69 with one choice each for Main dish, hot pot, side dish and drink together with 1 salad and Sashimi mori 3.FoodFor $69, we get to enjoy so much of the food. Portion is more than enough for 2. Food quality standard is there!Watami SaladThe salad is always very refreshing and somehow "open" & prepare our stomach for the incoming food.Beef Sukiyaki NabeDip the beef into the pot for a while and then dip it into

Decided to go and visit this outlet as Korean are having long queuesWelcomed by the manager(Took 2 minutes)We had Curry Udon While i had Curry Udon with Beef rice bowl.We also had Bacon and Quail eggs as sides.Nice view we got seeing the river and the lights and the few ghouls due to Halloween Ice Water comes with no charge and was ice cold.(No Lemon)Food Came almost the same time but fast overall.The bowls presented are BIG!Taste:The Beef was just right with no extra fat to go with the rice The

For dinner, we went to Watami located at The Central. There was a long queue as it was dinner time, but we decided to wait as I was craving for the salmon rice here. I ordered the hot stone pot salmon rice which costs around $10. The rice was piping hot with salmon ingredients which tasted really good. I enjoyed the meal and would come back again to try the other dishes on the menu.

I had suki yaki at Watami. I love their suki yaki as i find it pretty healthy. The only thing i dislike was that the soup was pretty sweet. You can top up the soup without charges as well. The ingredients consist of thin beef slices, tofu, mushrooms and vegetables. You can choose to eat it this way or add a bowl of rice. The beef is really fresh and tasty. Tender and succulent! I will never fail to order this.
