Watami Japanese Dining (ION Orchard)

I simply fell in love with this restaurant. Let me tell you why.....

First, the ambience was great, there were plenty of tables for couples or small groups of 4 friends as well as huge group setting up to 10 friends can sit at one table. The sits were great, deco chic japanese and light warm yet you could see your food well.

I particular light to mention the great service. I was personally impressed by the number of waiter and waitresses serving. I felt outnumbered, but i guess it was a good sign. They were nice, attentive and very polite. On top of that they really made me feel served.... Introduction to the menu were clear and helpful and even wet towels were being given personally by a rep waitress.

Now lets go to the food. The sashimi were great, with value for money prices and a good portion. Salmon Sashimi was fresh, succulent and shouts "EAT ME! EAT ME!" The placement of the sashimi on top of the a bed of sticks were a great visual contrast.

The tempura and fried stuffs were great too.. I personally love the portion they serve and you cannot imagine the prices they put on the menu.... Its definitely much more worth it then going for buffets. Noodles were great and soupy... another must try is the WATAMI salad. They come in such huge portion that it takes more then 1 to finish.

Another thing i love about this place is the free flow green tea and most importantly prompt refills of the cup with a GREAT BIG SMILE. I particular love this gesture as it really made me feel special. Boo!! to those who charge a mere $1 for a green tea bag and I have to fill up my own hot water via the tap that always leaks.... Something to learn and improve on..."Other Jap Restaurants!!!"
