The best food at Great World City (now called Great World) spans Cantonese and Fujian institutions like Imperial Treasure, PUTIEN and Din Tai Fung, premium Japanese counters such as Haku Sushi and Kou Teppan, and newcomers like Violet Oon's Bibik Violet. Most sit-down restaurants are on levels 1 and 2, with Japanese omakase and yakiniku plus quick takeaway kiosks in the basement and the Food Junction food court on level 3. Expect from around $5 at the food court, roughly $15-35 a head at casual chains and well over $100 for omakase. The mall is directly linked to Great World MRT on the Thomson-East Coast Line, and booking ahead is wise for weekend dinners.
