Had a group outing to watami casual dining & as I have eaten here many times, I know that the standard of the food is not bad. Tried their beef rice bowl set which came with the main dish, a miserable small bowl of cold tofu, chawanmushi & miso soup. I also topped up $1 for the yuzu soda. The beef rice bowl was good & it was not as dry as I expected it to be due to the sauce at the bottom of the bowl. The beef slices were thin & also very delicious. There wasn't enough egg yolk (not that I am one to like egg yolks) but I felt that egg yolks play a big part in rice bowls. Overall good rice bowl! However, the chawanmushi was pretty bad. Tasted almost like the Chinese tze char steamed egg but probably with lesser flavoring. Mushrooms and fish cake in the chawanmushi didn't help to make the egg any better too. It was just too bland. Would order this rice bowl again but without the set!
