美村日本料理 (已結業)

星期天，一家三口，到朋友介绍的美村日本料理晚膳。地方很大，分开寿司吧枱、铁板烧、客座及贵宾房等，寛倘舒适。 食客大部分是香港人，扶老携幼的合家欢聚餐。桌上早摆放了一大盘小食:杂菜沙律、炆萝卜、牛肉亁、毛豆、 豆角，让客人在等待上菜时，有点东西止「口痕」，确是安排周到。餐牌选择繁多、琳瑯满目，是香港日式餐馆一贯作风;还有「龙虾二人套餐」和「鲍鱼二人套餐」，一看就知是为港人设计。 索性请厨师安排两人份的 Omakase，做他最拿手的料理; 除却我俩一向不爱的和牛外，什么都可以。于是先来个刺身拼盘。鱼生配了用金醋做的啫喱，颇有创意。陆续上来海盐烧蟹脚、煎金目鲷鱼鲛、烧牛脷。食材、 煮法和味道不过不失，比较偏向符合港人惯性口味， 啖啖肉的吃得舒适方便，却绝无令人「哗」一声的惊喜感觉。碎肉炆萝卜带有胡椒辛辣， 比向来平淡偏甜的日式煮萝卜刺激惹味一点；果然自己也是习惯港式口味。寿司拼盘包括该处名菜「生菜包寿司」，坦白说， 竟不及来个沙律算了。其余寿司也平平无奇，海胆色香味俱缺乏。吃过洞庭乌东，就是水果和豆腐芝士蛋糕。蛋糕倒是软滑纯香， 如果给我一大块的就更好。结账时，两份用料不俗的 omakase，连同开瓶费等，只需 $1500，一个字：「抵！」评价：（1）比较像港式的日本料理，缺乏真正的东洋特色，不过也算是同类餐厅中水准上好的了。下次会试试坐寿司吧枱， 跟厨师直接交流，可能会有惊喜。（2）环境舒适，招呼周到，加上价钱不贵， 是星期日晚一家大小的晚饭之选。 继续阅读

大约两年前都有来过美村食晚餐,当时来食饭的话必定要十分有计划,没订台的话不用想。但今次来到, 场地十分冷清，连我地在内只有两三台客。也没所谓，清清静静倾下计也不错。点菜时，在言谈间提及到有一位朋友可能晚一些会来会合我们，侍应生十分细心地问我们有没有需要上到那一道菜等一等朋友。至于食物方面，其实质素一点也不差，叫了刺身并盘两个，一个跟餐一个散叫，散叫每碟价钱四百元。特别欣赏食完刺身后，虾头拿去炸变成了下酒物，不会浪费食物。茄子做得几出色，高汤很入味，一口咬下去汁会流出来，喜欢茄子的朋友不要错过。整体食物质素不差，但感觉上有点over priced. 继续阅读

西村先生及班底的新店;环境光猛优雅, 舒适宽敞;厨师发办刺身的质素很好;散寿司亦很有特色, 值得一试。New shop operated by Nishimura san from Nishimura restaurant;Elegant, bright and spacious decor;Very good quality Omakase assorted sashimi;Very interesting Chirashi "loose" Sushi;Worth a try! Nishimura? Mimura? We discovered this place by chance. I was attracted to their "Chirashi Sushi" and would like to see what it was about. I dragged my father and other relatives along.As we arrived, it seemed that my relatives already knew most of the managers here. This was when we discovered that the chef behind Mimura was actually Nishimura san from the famous "Nishimura" Japanese restaurant at Marco Polo! Decor:It's located right next to one of my favorite yakitori shop, Nishiki. Surprisingly bright and spacious with loads of tables, compartment seats, VIP rooms and seats at the sashimi counters. The tables were spaced out nicely. It's almost triple the size of Nishiki! Since the place was so big, it's a bit difficult to flag down the waiters. I strongly recommend that they add an electronic pager system.Selections:They have a comprehensive mix of cooked food like tempura, different stews, as well as sushi and sashimi. Sashimi should be their strength here.As we've got contacts, we left the decision making in the hands of the manager (contrary to my wishes - I'm very picky about what I have for dinner and I always prefer ordering myself.) Appetizers: This came in a nice wooden tray. The Edamame was good. The fried squid tentacles were cold but weren't oily, much to our surprise. This was cleared in no time. The salad made of fresh veggies was quite popular with the ladies at the table. The kinpira (burdock and carrots fried and marinated with shoyu and sesame) was quite spicy. The green pepper was also not bad. Omakase:First came the Omakase (assorted sashimi)Very presentable indeed. The quality of all sashimis were very good. The slices of Tai in the middle of the platter were light and refreshing. The six large Hokkaido scallops were nice and sweet.Kanpachi: The kanpachi on the top right part of the photo were firm and filled with fish oil. It came in thick cuts. I'm more used to think cuts but no complaints.Unidentified white-bodied fish?:We couldn't remember the thick white-bodied sashimi on of the top left corner of the photo, possibly swordfish? Anyway, those were fresh, firm, and again filled with fish oil.Chu Toro:Four fat slices of good quality chu toro. Nice colour and texture. Filled with fish oil and bursting with umami. I believe most sashimi lovers would love this very much. We certainly did. Prawns:The prawns were big and fresh. We're all very happy with it.After finishing the prawns, they offered to use the heads for soup or Naturally, I was wondering how much this would cost. When I checked the bill, the assorted sashimi was HK$1,200. I think this is reasonable considering the quality and quantity. At Kenjo for example, you'll only get 1/3 the fish at the same price, with similar quality. .2 Grilled Silver Cod - HK$320 We ordered this for a child who doesn't like raw stuff. She seemed very happy with this chinky piece of grilled silver cod - so happy that we ordered another portion for her. I had a little bit and was happy with the quality as well. Mind you, I don't think it's saikyo yaki so don't expect any miso taste. It's just a piece of grilled silver cod.Good with just a simple bowl of steamed rice (HK$30!)Stewed Yellow Tail (Hamachi) 250:Essentially a stew which consisted of hamachi, enoki mushrooms and hamachi chunks. The sauce was mirin and shoyu.The hamachi had a lot of fish oil; however, I found the meat a bit tough. Nothing spectacular.Salmon Roe Sushi (x4 - HK$280) These looked fresh and tasted fresh. The vinegar in the sushi rice was just right. The quality of the ikura and the nori were very good. However, at HK$70 per piece, it's not cheap at all. Deluxe Assorted Sashimi (Chirashi sushi) $350All those thick cut sashimis and stews with fatty hamachi were already quite filling, nevertheless, I had to order the Chirashi sushi. That was the reason why I chose Mimura in the first place.Essentially, this chirashi sushi (literally loose/ spread out sushi) seemed to be a crossover between an assorted omakase sashimi platter and a sashimi don made of sushi rice. It had a prawn, a few large pieces of hamachi, a decent amount of very flavourful ikura, two slices of sweet tamago maki, a number of shell fish and one large piece of fatty white-bodied fish (the unidentified one - swordfish?) all on a bed of decent sushi rice with good vinegar taste. This was extremely filling. Unless you're a toro fanatic, I think ordering this should satisfy your craving for sashimi, sushi and Japanese rice in one go at a relatively decent price (HK$350). Conclusion:3 Sapporo Dry $135The whole bill came down to HK$2,565 (including 3 Sapporo dry for $135) plus 10% service.The quality of sashimi here was very good.The chirashi sushi is also worth a try!Recommended. 继续阅读

Before getting into service , I give the food quality comment on my meal order - sushi set.One of sushi "abalone" taste fresh and impressed to me. The side dishes i.e. carrot, preserved squid,etc are yummy. The steamed egg is medium cooking and feel smooth of its surface while moving my throat. The price is originally fair to me with such great area and meal. However, I was VERY disappointed on the customer and its service. The man ,who seems to always have meal there, kept talking non-stop and very louder in open area. I understood that the social communication or etiquette is required but it is too over-exaggerated and ignored other customers. The same meal order but the serve is totally different obvious with advantage. Actually, I don't mind and understandable on this situation But the waiter and manager did not take any action to hide this behaviour in open area near the exit. Kinda embarrassing in fact.Um... point out here is to hope that such good quality food japanese restaurant can beware of customer service as well. No offence at all. 继续阅读
