Watami Japanese Dining 和民居食屋 (Junction 8)

Store has many many good food, but this is particular item is a Highly Recommended item. Not that oily, soft and yummy!! Perfect for people for has craving for quick fix of crab.

Naturally sweetened soup with plenty of vegetables and meat! Will recommend to order udon and share.

Nothing memorable, could barely remember where I ate this at. They have a choice of 3 soup based and I opted for the spicy one. Ramen was really nicely coated with sesame oil tho!

Place was nice and cosy, great for catch up.

this was quality salmon sashimi atop fluffy japanese rice—simple and basic but well-executed. 😋 the sashimi slices were sliced just right (not too thin and not too thick as well) and there was a rather generous amount. the tobiko and tamago were good additions as well, adding texture to the don.

definitely satisfied my sashimi cravings :-,) overall, watami is a good place for quality japanese food at relatively reasonable prices.

Pretty decent meal for a casual dining restaurant, though you might be able to get better value at other Japanese restaurants (cause this was still pretty pricey!) The set menu definitely makes it a little more affordable, and you can customize it + top up whatever else you wanted! From the set we ordered a Caesar salad (average), 3 appetizers (California maki was average, gyoza was below average (could have been more crisp) and agedashi tofu was below average), 2 dons (unagi don and butadon, both of which were really nice and flavourful! PSA if you don’t take wasabi, try to ask them not to add wasabi to the rice for the butadon), a teppanyaki (grilled chicken was decent) and a sukiyaki pork hotpot (this was yum!). Topped up the salmon avocado roll (pretty good!) and liked that their salmon sashimi slices were a good balance between thick and thin and tasted fresh! 😋😋 Also had their chawanmushi and special roe chawanmushi, both of which were pretty normal~ All in all, a good place for casual Japanese food, quality wise it’s passable but very average and don’t get your expectations too high up 😅😅 One plus point was service was good and very very fast! 👍🏻👍🏻

3 thick slices of 5 kinds of sashimi: salmon, salmon belly, tuna, scallop, and yellow tail fish. Good for a quick fix for sashimi cravings.
