They are currently doing a Japanese promotion.
Came on a Monday night and it was quite busy. The decor is quite nice, the dining area is huge for Hong Kong standards, very spacious. The whole area is dimly lit yet you can still see pretty well.
A good variety of international cuisines, chiefly Indian, Chinese, standard western and of course their current Japanese promotion.
Cold seafood counter provided crab legs, Chinese flower crabs, mussels, clams, medium sized shrimps, sea snails and later in the evening geoduck clams, all of which were fresh. I especially recommend their Chinese flower crabs which were really juicy and delivered umami ("Seen teem" in Chinese, literally meaning fresh and sweet) with their very tender and meaty bites.
Raw vegetables at the salad counter are fresh. Smoked salmon is thinly sliced and quite lean (very few white strips seen). There's also seared tuna. Assorted sushi rolls and nigri sushi were served. There was also a soba noodle station with many condiments on the side like pickles, spring onions etc etc.
A variety of premixed salads was served - my favorite was the one with figs, sliced almonds and chicken.
Indian/southeast Asian counter had a variety of curries including Indian yellow curry, Thai stir fried shrimps, tandoori meats, naan bread, poppadoms (fried Indian crackers) etc. my favorite of this counter is actually the naan bread, which is a bit chewy and has a nice blend of garlic and parsley with charred bits on the top. Condiments like mango chutney, mint sauce and raita is offered as well.
At the western counter were stewed veal, portugese chicken, baked seabass, sauteed vegetables etc. a roast beef wagon was available too but I did not try it.
The Chinese counter served two types of Chinese soups, steamed fish, stir-fried shrimps, braised vegetables with mushrooms, Chinese BBQ meats, fried rice etc.
For the Japanese promotion there was a teppenyaki table that was only used for grilling king prawns, which was my favorite entree of the evening. Meat was soft, very fresh, tender to the point it was almost creamy. Wagyu beef was available but I did not try that either. Enjoyed their light sukiyaki, as well as their pan fried cod. There was also a sashimi counter, a Japanese sea snail counter and a tempura counter which served croquettes (fried potato cakes) as well, and a variety of dipping sauces were available.
Dessert consisted of 2 tables: there was a strawberry chocolate fondue fountain which smelled very nice, fresh fruits on display (including Thai rose apple), cakes, pudding cups, a Japanese crepe counter and 3 types of ice cream. I especially enjoyed their green tea ice cream which I had with crepes and adzuki beans. the ice cream itself was very creamy and mildy milky. My disappointment however was that there was no sakura or sweet potato ice cream as they have promoted in their ad print. Also you can skip their so-called lavender sakura cake, which was more like whipped cream with a mango and pink streak topping - there wasn't even a cake base! Their crepes are nicely thin but doesn't have a strong eggy taste which I would prefer.
Overall a very pleasant dinner, and for a party of 3-5 we received a 15% discount. I especially like their atmosphere and dining area for its comfort and spaciousness.
