Finally got the chance to give this restaurant a try. As soon as we got in, we were greeted by their friendly waitresses. We requested for seats in the booth area and were immediately led to a spacious booth. The staffs seemed quite attentive throughout the dinner. The quality of their sashimi were quite fresh but the most memorable dish of the night must be their hamachi and toro. The toro is extremely light pink in colour and extremely tender. Too bad toro is only taken from bluefin tuna so it is quite a luxurious and tasty delicacy. Their hamachi is also worth mentioning. Inevitably sad, I find hamachi is often overlooked. Although their hamachi is not as rich as the toro, it is still very good; with a buttery and smoky flavor. Overall their sushi selections were plentiful and the sashimi were fresh. The dining experience was quite pleasant and I would recommend it to others. …查看更多
I bought a Groupon deal for two to enjoy a 10-course set dinner and ate at the restaurant with my boyfriend.The surroundings of the restaurant are clean and modern, but the tables are placed very close together. Not that it was a problem since we knew this wasn't a fine dining restaurant. The waiters and waitresses were very attentive and efficient. As we were waiting for our food, we noticed that the bigger tables would be quite nice for group gatherings.The first course to come was the organic tomato salad. As my boyfriend observed, it was served very cold. Refreshing and delicious.The second course was Japanese beans. I've never been a fan of these, and I was not swayed this time either.The third course, hand-rolled onion toro, was one of the highlights of the meal. The seaweed was crisp, the onion toro tasted great and there was a mound of wasabi for me to enjoy it with.The fourth course was the sea urchin sashimi. The previous times I tried sea urchin, I disliked it. However, I enjoyed the sea urchin sashimi served at Habitat. Perhaps I'm acquiring a taste for it.The fifth course was a hotpot with Norwegian wild salmon head. The meat on the fish tasted pretty good, and there was nothing wrong with the hotpot. It just didn't really strike us as Japanese. With the spicy cabbage making up the bulk of the hotpot, it really seemed more like Korean kimchi hotpot.The sixth course, Japanese-style seafood fried rice, was alright. I liked the fact that it wasn't greasy, but by then, I was getting full so I didn't finish it.The seventh course was fresh burdock miso soup, which tasted okay.The eighth course was spicy Japanese cheese tonikokoman. Very similar to okonomiyaki, which I don't like at all. But the tonikokoman wasn't drenched in sauce the way okonomiyaki tends to be, and it was a pleasant surprise. The cheese tasted especially good.The ninth course, grilled minced chicken skewer, was another highlight. Being a fan of chicken cartilage, I enjoyed the chewy bits in the skewer immensely.We didn't eat the tenth course, ice cream, as we were full after nine courses.Would I go back to Habitat? I'd definitely consider it if I'm in the neighbourhood.…查看更多
