Fresh sashimi followed by a hefty ribeye, sounds like the perfect lunch...
Located right next to each other at Uptown Place Mall, heading to Texas via Tokyo is as easy as crossing over with just a few steps for a sashimi and steak lunch...at Watami and Texas Roadhouse.
Recreating the classic Izakaya vibe, Watami offers a wide selection of yakitori and other grilled meats on skewers as well as fresh sashimi and sushi. Start with Watami's Fatty Salmon (P 305), choice cuts of buttery salmon bursting with a briny richness...
...followed by the Assorted Sashimi (P 525 Four Kinds) with fresh Tuna, Salmon, Fatty Salmon and Mackerel for a tasty pre-steak lunch (for more on Watami at Uptown Place Mall, see my previous post at Recreating the Izakaya Vibe at Watami).
After quick work on the sashimi at Watami, time to cross over. Start your meal at Texas Roadhouse with a refreshing glass of Fresh Orange Juice (P 155) to pair with the side of Fresh Salad that comes with every steak order (for more on Texas Roadhouse, see my post, In A Lone Star State of Mind: At Texas Roadhouse...). 
And here's the beef. The Fort Worth Ribeye (P 2,295-16 oz or 455 g), grilled to medium rare with a juicy pink center, served with a side of mashed potatoes...just can't get better than that.
The finely marbled slab of premium beef just melts-in-your-mouth with just the right amount of bite to chew on and remind you this is pure and honest beef. And for steak this good, you don't need need any sauce at all. Seriously. And that's how I like my steaks. Premium steaks don't need to hide behind any sauce. Not the Fort Worth Ribeye at Texas Roadhouse.
Cap your steak lunch with the Frozen Turtle Pie (P 325), an indulgent Oreo-crusted tart filled with velvety smooth salted caramel ice cream topped with roasted pecans, hard-cracked chocolate, and toffee sauce. Perfect. Crossing continents in just a few steps is easy. Texas via Tokyo, no problem. At Watami and Texas Roadhouse at Uptown Place Mall.
