I went to SAE on Monday to celebrate my friend's BDay. It's been a while since I last went there. Having viewed the comments of others in this website, I was a bit worried since most are negative ones.Oh but the dinner was really not that bad! We ordered 8 pcs of sushi, a sanmai sashimi (fish that is available only in autumn, and we requested to fry the bone afterwards) (around $150), grill squid, noodle, assorted grill stick, and the bill is only HK$740!

The food are tasty as well! At the end, when we are thinking what to order for dessert, the boss give us a free dessert! The dessert includes 2 ice-cream, a green tea red bean pudding, tofu pudding, papaya pcs with sago, choco mochi and almond jelly!!!!!! 7 items!!!!!!
Frankly, we only spend around $700 and that's really not that much! The free dessert at least worth $150!!!!!! or even more!!!!!!
The shop owner Mr Ma is very nice and always smile, although he is very busy.
btw, they got a VIP room at 3/F and I think some party arrangement can be made as well.
The only one bad thing is that they appears to have not enough staff, we sometimes have to look around and wait for a waiter. But the whole dining experience is great lah!
食過SAE兩次,兩次都好好食. 尤其係以$75一個lunch set既價錢, o係灣仔簡直係超值tim 呀!! 但最好預先做reservation, cos' it's usually packed during lunch.Waiters are all attentive and courteous. Very worth trying!

tempura - 4 pieces including shrimp. freshly fried. good. With salt, taste just right.
ice-cream. nice green tea ice-cream dessert.
Makes me very full indeed.
Good place for a decent japanese meal at reasonable price.
First of all, I have to declare that in the 4 or 5 times that I ate at SAE, it was a special set menu that Chef Ma designed at a price that we gave him. Perhaps that was why each and every meal could only be described as fantastic. The menu consists of 8 dishes: appetiser, soup, a special dish (one time was a crab role fondue served with raw vegetables - heavenly!), sashimi plate, grilled fish, grilled meat, noodles, dessert medley.

The appetisers are small but tasty and unusual. I had my first experience of fish liver there - it was smooth and rich like a good pate. The soup was always refreshing and flavourful. The sashimi (which to me was the highlight) was generous in portion, fresh and beautifully presented. Usually by this stage my guests would be a tad full already, but no one could resist the grilled dishes, be it the fish or the beef or pork - always cooked just right. The noodles was a refreshing end to an excellent meal. And oh yes, desserts. While other restaurants would have been contented with a mochi or ice cream or japanese fruit after such a sumptious and earnestly-prepared meal, SAE gives you a dessert medley that contains 5 (maybe more, I lost count) different choices. In all my experience dining here, desserts is always the one dish that we could not finish, not for the lack of quality, but simply because by this stage everyone would be completely, utterly and guiltily stuffed.
Great food, good presentation, friendly service, private room, all from $350 per person, what more do you want? Well, there is actually one thing: this place has zero ambience and sometimes the restaurant on 2/f has a strange smell. Other than that, it's faultless. To be honest, I have to struggle with myself whether or not to disclose this rare gem, but in the end, I decide that Chef Ma deserves to be commended.
