Opal cafe

Fast food in the zoo

Saitama Children's zoo has a few different eateries. This one is an outdoor cafe in the central plaza of the zoo, beside the stage and the water play area. The food is premade and left in warming units, so it is the best tasting food available. Moreover, it's not particularly cheap, but it is cheaper than eating in one of the indoor restaurants. They have things like karaage, udon and chips. Service is immediate, so it is useful if you have a hungry child who doesn't want to wait for a meal!
