Since they’re kanji-only, they’re all Japanese, Chinese, or Korean restaurants
Here are the kanji-only restaurants listed from the West Mall side.
- 山形牛焼肉 牛兵衛 草庵 (yakiniku)
- 海鮮和食 魚盛 (seafood Japanese cuisine / izakaya)
- 廣東料理 水蓮月 (Chinese cuisine)
- 韓美膳 (Korean cuisine)
- 大起水産 回転寿司 (sushi)
- 浪花串家物語 (kushiage)
It may be obvious, but since the names are kanji-only, the lineup ended up being 4 Japanese restaurants, 1 Chinese restaurant, and 1 Korean restaurant.
By the way, Daa from Nishi2 recently visited 山形牛焼肉 牛兵衛 草庵.

Finally
Near the entrance to the food court on the 1st floor of Gardens, there’s 春水堂, the shop said to be the birthplace of tapioca milk tea. It’s not read “Harumizudou,” but “Chun Shui Tang.” Apparently, this 春水堂 is celebrating its 6th anniversary since arriving in Japan.
