Watami - Omaha

Celebrate the Love Month with The Bistro Group's new branch in Nomo /North of Molino. WATAMI is set to open or is opening at that part in the south as we speak....

I ordered Beef Rice Hot Spring Egg and it was all right. We also got sukiyaki for sharing. Serving size is just right but taste isn’t anything too special. I should probably try other things in their menu to give a better review.

So I was craving for shashimi after my workout this Saturday and went to Watami and ordered the Fatty Salmon Shashimi (Php 395) I think I gained back whatever I sweat out earlier but who’s complaining !! We also ordered the Spicy Miso Ramen (Php 395) , Chasu Rice in stone pot (Php 245) and topped it off with the pretty little green tea tiramisu! Loved all the dishes my picks are the spicy miso ramen and salmon shashimi. Attentive servers and fair price point for me since I’m a Bistro card holder but reasonable price point nonetheless.

Saturday night in rainy Manila and I’ve got a “Jones” for Japanese food. Tonight brings me to the Shangri La Mall and Watami which is owned by the Moment Group. Tonight’s order is the chicken teriyaki (and a side of sea urchin (oo-nee) sashimi. The uni could have been presented on a nicer plate as well as the salmon sashimi which I tried. I also sampled some some salmon aburri which was served on a nicer flat stone plate. It tasted pretty good. I’ve visited Tokyo and Osaka and tried some excellent Japanese good. So while the quality is no where near as good, the food still hits the spot. Though it’s a little noisy, this restaurant caters to families. I didn’t mind the noise though. I highly recommend Watami if you’re looking for good Japanese food at a decent price. Food: Good Service: Very good, server accommodated us quickly. Interior Design-Ambiance: Nice but table tops look a bit worn.

Availed of the 50% discount by Citibank last Saturday. Place: nice layout, lots of table Service: attentive, OK Taste Sushi rolls and maki are great Rice bowls are so-so Beef sukiyaki hotpot is good but nothing outstanding Nori nachos: yummm Value for money, especially with the citibank discount!
