There are dozens of Chinese restaurants on Saipan, but none of them really fancy themselves as a seafood place.<\/p>\n

Enter Fisherman\u2019s Wharf Fresh Seafood, Steak, Lobster, and Grill Restaurant at the heart of Garapan.<\/p>\n

The brainchild of Cindy Zhang, Fisherman\u2019s Wharf was originally supposed to open four years ago in 2015, but finally made its long-awaited debut last July 10.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always wanted to open a Chinese restaurant that specializes in seafood. Fisherman\u2019s Wharf is a realization of that dream and I\u2019m really happy we finally opened after waiting so long,\u201d said Zhang, who has made Saipan her home the past 17 years.<\/p>\n

Zhang starts her day early by driving from one fishmonger to another along Beach Road to find the freshest seafood on island.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the only way you can be sure your seafood is fresh, aside from having a boat and catching the fish yourself,\u201d said Zhang.<\/p>\n

With meticulous attention to the quality of seafood Fisherman\u2019s Wharf gets, Zhang also sources lobster and other seafood from Tinian and Rota suppliers.<\/p>\n

So far, the bestsellers at Fisherman\u2019s Wharf are its signature steamed lobster dish. Also, must-tries are its abalone, beef broccoli, and sweet and sour pork.<\/p>\n

$8 lunch buffet<\/strong>
\nTo introduce Fisherman\u2019s Wharf to the island community, the restaurant has an ongoing promotion that would make it the most affordable full buffet on island.<\/p>\n

At $8 for customers with local ID ($10 for tourists), Fisherman\u2019s Wharf\u2019s lunch buffet offers 10 dishes that range from seafood to chicken, beef, dumplings, hotpot, mapo tofu, fried rice, and more. It comes with a complimentary iced tea and orange juice plus desserts like fresh fruits.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just want to attract a lot of customers that\u2019s why we\u2019re offering this $10 lunch buffet, which has a 20% discount for locals so it goes down to $8,\u201d said Zhang.<\/p>\n

Fisherman\u2019s Wharf is located along Royal Palm Avenue in the tourist district of Garapan at the back of Capricciosa and Tony Roma\u2019s. It\u2019s open from 10:30am to 2pm and 5:30pm to 10pm daily.<\/p>\n

The restaurant comfortably sits 100 but can accommodate up 180 diners. It is also open for private parties and corporate functions. For more information and reservations, call 285-6134.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
