Watami Coco Park

The previous review on this site is false and misleading:

"targets mall goers in China. Tries to be an isakaya but fails."

Of course it targets mall goers, this restaurant is in a shopping mall!

However, good restaruants really don't need to "target" anyone, they just serve great food at reasonable prices and build a solid base of repeat customers.

I don't know about Isakaya, but Watami stands alone as one of the best restaurants in Coco Park for its service and quality of food.

The Ceasar salad, at 38 rmb, is tasty treat generously tossed with fresh bacon ham, slices of real parmasean cheese, red onions, and crutons, and a delicious dressing comes on the side.

They serve a fabulous bbq'd mackerel for 42 rmb, a mouth watering scallop appetizer with bits of garlic for 32 rmb, a tasty hamburger steak meal set, and their 6-piece sushi rolls are also quite good although a bit overpriced at 38 rmb. The menu is loaded with so many other items to try too.

This is a very good restaurant that also gives everyone a rating card with the check, so you can let them know what you think about the food, service, etc.

If you're going to write a review of a restaurant, why not offer some solid advice and info. rather than just offhand remarks that really don't mean anything to anyone???

Fact is, this restaurant doesn't need to "try" to be anything but what it already is...a terrific place to grab a satisfying bite whenever you find yourself at Coco Park.
