A casual western Japanese restaurant that also has sashimis, dons, tacos and skewers, which is quite unusual. It has quite a number of branches throughout Hong Kong, with only 1 on HK island, at the basement level of Hysan Place in Causeway Bay, recently reopened after renovation.Had tried their $498 set for 2, with items that need to pay extra.Their tacos were really nice and crispy. Instead of seaweed as the base, they used deep-fried seaweed to enhance the crunchiness, which was great! Whi
Had tried their $498 set for 2, with items that need to pay extra.
Their tacos were really nice and crispy. Instead of seaweed as the base, they used deep-fried seaweed to enhance the crunchiness, which was great! While since the taco was basically open rather than wrapped, with lots of fillings, it’s messy to eat.
In my first bite of the soft-shell crab inside the taco, the majority of the content has fallen off the taco.
Their Hokkaido scallop kale salad with avocado, tomato, walnut, couscous was refreshing with the yogurt yuzu dressing, which was creative.
The chicken cartilage skewers were alright, though they could be hotter, as they were lukewarm.
I love the grilled caramelized pineapple. Grilled pineapples are always sweet, as the water inside has evaporated, leaving the fructose that has higher sweet intensity. Adding sugar on top to grill and make it into caramel had created another layer of taste.
For the main, we’re only allowed to choose 1 out of 8, which I find limiting, as for a set for 2, it’s expected to be able to choose 2 mains as I want more variety. They can make the mains smaller if there’s cost issue. The soft-shell crab spaghetti with crab meat tomato cream sauce was nice. The restaurant also considered that as one of their signature items. I loved the crab meat thoroughly immersed in the cream sauce and you could taste the crab meat very frequently, apart from eating the deep-fried soft-shell crab. Good for crab lovers.
For the dessert, the Uji matcha tiramisu with candied red beans was presented in a box. There was a small tube containing matcha sake for customer to add to the dessert. I didn’t think sake would match well with the tiramisu as it’s bitter as compared to sweet Baileys. The flow from the tube was also slow. We decided to put that aside.
There’s only a limited number of specialty drinks that you could add extra to upgrade from the regular tea / coffee. So we picked the peach & Fuji apple soda, which was also one of their recommended items. That was pretty and very sweet, especially when the ice hasn’t fully melted.
There’re hard cat dolls in the restaurant, with majority of them placed at the entrance, and none near our table. The food items that we’ve ordered had no cat element whatsoever. At the second-round dinner time on a Thursday night, the restaurant was about 80% filled, which was quite good. Majority of customers used coupon when they settled the bill. I guess the shopping mall coupon helped the business.
