Always good to get a new table service restaurant in the parks. I have been to every restaurant at the parks except for one of them.

Here is the info:

While we’re on the topic of Epcot, I have one more exciting announcement: an all-new table service restaurant will be coming to the Japan Pavilion in World Showcase, offering guests a signature dining experience inspired by the natural beauty of Japan. The setting will draw from both nature and takumi, which means “artisan” in Japanese, and the relationship between Japanese craftsmanship and the natural world will be evident throughout the space. This new restaurant will be operated by Mitsukoshi USA, which operates the merchandise, restaurants (Teppan Edo and Tokyo Dining), and kiosks in the Japan Pavilion. Once completed, the restaurant will add to the rich tapestry of authentic cultural experiences available to guests in World Showcase.
​

Anyone know where this is going to be built?

Also, another question worth pondering: do we need additional signature restaurants at EPCOT, or at WDW in general?

THis will make 4 with the quick service.

Bring on the A5 waygu beef please.

I can think of areas that really need more restaurants but I suppose anything new is good. Four places to eat in one pavilion is pretty amazing.

That's really cool!

I'm impressed!

What's the one you haven't been to?

One in Epcot at France. The one on the second floor.

Epcot probably doesn’t “need” another restaurant period, but the food is the main draw to that park so it makes sense. MK and the studios need improved table services though

For real ... I'd love for DHS to have another signature offering, but unfortunately it will probably end up being Star Wars-related which is a non-starter for me.

I know people love it, but a reboot of Liberty Tree Tavern would also be awesome.

Skipper’s Canteen helped MK but definitely need more

galaxy’s Edge will have a table service but also agree they still need more. Our go to in that park has become the outside lounge at the town derby

Table and quick service

But was responding to the specific comment about needing more table service

But true about more food service in general - and Woody’s Lunchbox looks to be a good addition as well

I think liberty tree is fine for what it is but it just doesn’t do anything for us (I’m not big on thanksgiving good on thanksgiving, forget about on vacation)

Yeah all we’re getting right now is one table service and it’s not enough like you said for that park.

I've been there two times now, and won't be back.

The food isn't that great and is expensive too. I like that they are trying to do more "ethnic" types of dishes there (my favorite types of food are indian and thai), but they just don't do it well. They would be better off just doing a simple indian style curry and thai curries and pad thai. They are making it way harder than it needs to be.

We've only been there one but enjoyed the food - I agree it is on the pricey side though and not something we will do every trip or anything (largely due to that more than the food)

I missed this over the weekend, but sounds promising.
