Having visited this place on Valentine’s day, we think it might not be the best idea after all. We were supposed to be there at 7:30 and they called and blamed the first batch of customers for being late so they told us to arrive at 8:00 Strange incident 1.When we arrived there a bit earlier, they told us tl wait outside as the first batch of customers was still inside. We saw a number of customers rushing in and being told to wait outside with us. No checking of booking numbers, no orders takin
We were supposed to be there at 7:30 and they called and blamed the first batch of customers for being late so they told us to arrive at 8:00 Strange incident 1.
When we arrived there a bit earlier, they told us tl wait outside as the first batch of customers was still inside. We saw a number of customers rushing in and being told to wait outside with us. No checking of booking numbers, no orders taking— so they apparently didnt notice who arrived first and last. Strange incident2.
When another couple arrived, they suddenly told us we could get. The last couple arrived could get to choose where to sit first?! Strange incident 3.
Apparently, the waitresses knew nth about us as she didnt ask us for mobile number to check our booking nor asking our names prior to arranging our seats. Hospitality?
We rushed to the tables left nearer the chef and some were on the back so they weren’t experiencing an omakase experience I would say. They were behind us— cannot see the chef at all/ interact with the chef at all. Then, what’s the point of paying so much for this omakase experience?
Strange incident 4.
We were told to wait and while we were waiting, we had no water/ tea served. Not to mention, the utensils/ dishes were not set up/ properly placed either.
We need to remind the staff to give us a cup of tea again and again.
And the strangest part was — they kept complaining and moaning about the previous batch for being late and we(this batch) were TOO punctual so we caught them
off-guard!!
Seriously?! You were moaning about us being on time?! You were constantly whining that the previous batch was late and we had to suffer and waited?! Isnt it suppose to be a fine dining experience with a hint of romance inside?
To me, this celebration was a joke rather than romance.
Back to food,
This was the menu for that night.
It wasnt served according to the order due to the chaos alleged by the staff. They were constantly looking for bowls/ utensils to serve all of us in the restaurant — strange incident 5/6? I lost count already.
This was the eel baby and it was not as aestheically pleasing when served — we just manouvered it so it could look more properly presented.
Another appetiser— fish liver.
Again, the proper procedure for cooking cod white should be preparing them beforehand in hot water but then the portion they prepared wasnt enough so the chef needs to quickly prepare more in front of us. Arent all omakase pre-booked and all the portions prepared beforehand?!
Strange incident 6/7/8!’
We were too thirsty so we ordered sake to compliment this chaotic dinner.
We have uni served with white cod— the taste was fine.
shimaaji — it was fat and rich in flavour.
This was another highlight in these series of strange incidents— while everybody near me bas been served, we didnt see this steamed egg coming. We were wondering why didnt we have the same menu like others— and then the waitress explained as they ran out of steamed egg so we gotta wait for the next batch! And honestly, this was nothing worth waiting — all the ingredients are shown here, even the one from the cheap Genki store got more ingredients than this!
I mean taste wise, this shop was fine.
It’s just that the whole dining experience wasnt on par with a fine dining experience, let alone an omakase experience nor a romantic valentine’s day dinner.
I read another review here saying that their booking was cancelled and that was true as I witnessed that they cancelled their order myself!
So if you dont mind a strange omakase experience like this, go ahead. If you do, go for Sushi man or all other authentic experience in HK!
