I have been coming to this sushi-ya since 2009, before it was renovated and the view was the Hyson place construction site. Back then a 10 piece sushi set was only HK$200, and the quality was superb.As the years went on, i continued to revisit the place quite regularly, i went 4 to 5 times each year, for both lunchand dinner. After its renovation in the mid-teens, the place looked a lot nicer and brighter with the new wooden furnitures in the sushi bar area. I went numerous times from this point onwards mostly for dinner. The pricing got more and more expensive, but was inline with how prices went up for other fine dining restaurants during the same period. The quality of the food and the way the chef adds a  little touch, creating his own unique style of flavour is what made me keep going back. The waitresses are also super kind and helpful, top notch service.However, in recent years, the size of the sushi being served is undeniably one of the stingiest out there, it is so tiny that often times the sushi rice breaks apart, theres so little rice that it barely holds its shape. And the most recent time i visited, the number of sushis that arrived was actually less than what I ordered & paid for.After i complained they surely made the moment more awkward. For a customer like me, who had been visiting consistently for over a decade amid the rising prices and shrinking sushi sizes, they looked at me like i was a liar and they even checked on the CCTV, which in the end they realised they came up short, and madeit right. But the fact that i had to go through that drama, was just unbelievable. Now i am not a japanese speaker (where the chef Clearly has a strong preference on serving) but I felt i should have been treated with a little more respect from the sushi chef/owner.Plenty of other sushi restaurants i've yet to explore, and my most recent visit will be my last. …Read More

I've dined at this place numerous times, have tried lunch and dinner and ordered all the different courses available. Every time the head chef was serving the sushi, it was an absolute delight. The decor is beautiful, place looks immaculate and classy, and is one of the cleanest sushi restaurants i have ever sat in. The waitresses were really polite and nice and the tea cup never even gets half empty. The sushi is of superb quality, made with the best ingredients and in between courses the chef is very generous with a variety of pickled vegetables (not just the usual ginger). The sushi sizes are very large in size compared to the other high end sushi places, the chef is the opposite ofstingy when it came to the fish-cut slices and the amount of fine quality rice used. The soup that they serve is also one of the finest bowls of miso soup i've had. The egg dish near the end has a veryunique and sweet taste to it, definitely stands out from the rest of its peers. Finally the fruit that they serve as desert is fresh, juicy and superb. …Read More
