Naniwa Ippon is a new restaurant in Causeway Bay. It had taken over the old Hal's restaurant so I thought to give it a try for lunch one day.The outside is interesting and it seemed they kept the old Hal's design.

The outside is interesting and it seemed they kept the old Hal's design. Upon entering the restaurant, it seemed they kept the same layout and furniture as well. It seemed they didn't bother to redecorate. Seating was comfortable and not cramped at all.
I was presented with a lunch set menu. Menu is in English, Chinese and Japanese. They had a variety of everything Japanese. From sushi to curry rice. It had everything for everyone. All sets come with miso soup, salad and chawanmushi.
I ordered the minced prime tuna with spring onion rice set ($98). This set also came with a bowl of udon.
They started me off with a imitation crab salad with flying fish roe. The mayo was placed on top so I had to mix it myself. It was ok. Nothing really spectacular about it.
The chawanmushi was not good at all. It was not smooth and very rubbery. It didn't have that sweet taste that is usually found in this dish. It just tasted like regular steamed egg from a Chinese restaurant.
The udon was chewy and not over cooked. But the soup tasted more like water.
It also came with a miso soup. It wasn't exceptional and pretty much forgettable.
When my set first arrived, they gave me assorted sashimi rice and not what I ordered. When I told them, they quickly removed it with an apology and less than 5 minutes later, they gave me my correct order. But this was not even good. The tuna had a slight fishy taste. The spring onion was only that little bit on top. The rest was regular white onion. That was not on the menu. And a LOT of sesame seeds. So much it was all I tasted.
Now, that I write my review I noticed the listing was once called Hal's. I really did not like Hal's. So now they have just renamed themselves, offering the same mediocre Japanese food for a price range where you can get something better elsewhere in Causeway Bay at lunch time. Will not be back.
