Since opening the first ZhongXiao branch (near Dunnan Eslite Bookstore), Watami has been a hit. They now have around 600 branches worldwide devoted to good service and meals at affordable prices, and they get ample public praise. This fourth Taiwan branch, located on the second floor of Neo 19, serves food all day til midnight for hungry diners leaving the Vieshow (previously Warner Village) complex and the clubs. The menu provides a range of Japanese and western meals. Most choices on the menu are the same as those in Japan, but some meals have been designed to suit local tastes. Drinks are also on the menu, and they provide tableside bartending: not be a bad idea to give it a try. --By Josie Wu, translated by Ann Lee
