It's a huge disappointment. The fish quality wasn't up to par though they charged us a 30% premium to Central prices. When we sat down and ordered omakase, the head waitress said it ranged anywhere from HK$800-1000. When I pressed for details, she provided none. We went ahead given our general trust in a relatively high end restaurant like this. They later sent over a plate of sashimi that's way over what my husband and I could finish (bear in mind that I specifically told them I couldn't eat mu
It's a huge disappointment. The fish quality wasn't up to par though they charged us a 30% premium to Central prices.

We went ahead given our general trust in a relatively high end restaurant like this. They later sent over a plate of sashimi that's way over what my husband and I could finish (bear in mind that I specifically told them I couldn't eat much given my appetite). It's as if they wanted to maximize what they could sell you. After sashimi, they gave us each three pieces of sushis. That's it - no more no less. Guess what was the number I saw when they gave me the check? It's HK$1900 (without not a drop of alcohol)! You won't even spend that much for that quantity and quality of food at some of the top Japanese restaurants.
Conclusion:
Almost any Japanese restaurant you can find in HK offers the same quality if not better for a much more reasonable price. There's no point of going all the way there for their food.
Footnote:
I've never offered my comment on line before. I figured word by mouth would be enough to put bad restaurants out of business. My experience at Sushi Shi was so bad that I decided to speak up.
