Lunch at 11.30am still quiet, unpolluted, clean. Cool, crisp air, despite the spring humidity finally setting in. For HKU students only: 10% off at all times. For all: 20% off for getting the bill before 12:30pm - but you've got to do it before 1230pm. 1231pm will not get you the discount. We tried. -_-Environment:Very quiet surroundings, quite unlike dining at the Bonham Road restaurants. From HKU, take the back exit (near CYM sciences building) and walk around 3 minutes to get here.

Environment:
Very quiet surroundings, quite unlike dining at the Bonham Road restaurants. From HKU, take the back exit (near CYM sciences building) and walk around 3 minutes to get here. Pretty convenient. You probably won't bump into anyone and can enjoy some peace and quiet. The restaurant is not big, it is cozy and homey. Service:
I think the old man in his early sixties probably owns the restaurant as well? He was kind. No complaints. Old waiters usually are more well-mannered and courteous than young ones, who might get cocky. Then again if you're old and cocky I would say you're cute.
Food:
A wide variety of sets to choose from! I like. Grilled mackerel set $72
My choice. There are two things I want to compare at Japanese restaurants: grilled mackerel and ginger beef/pork w/ onion. Steamed pumpkinwas sweet and juicy, but not very soft. Miso soup was just very average, and very hot. Salad was very watery at the bottom, and too much sauce - they should've tossed it well before serving. Don't just pour the dressing over the top. It's not nice. Mackerel was better than the one I had at The Mon(CWB) a day ago. This one was not too oily, had crisp skin, firm flesh, was juicy, and it was well-salted. There was no unpleasant fishiness, and no weird sauce. There was a small mound of grated radishes on the side and soy sauce. Yummy when et with fish. I used to love mayo, but now this combination has found its way to my heart. However, was it worth $72? Doubtful.
Sweet shrimp + three types of sushi lunch set $80
M is a fan of this set. It is #8 on the set lunch menu. The rice is sticky yumyum but a bit too sour for M's taste. Salmon sashimi was sliced in a weird fashion. The grain was different from what we normally see. It has an effect on the texture. Was it deliberate or a mistake? Probably deliberate. but M did not comment on the merits. Shrimp was large, but tasted just average. Conclusion:
I am quite fond of this place because it's homey and quiet. A nice break away from the usual buzz and hustle in the HKU campus, and bonham road, which gets pretty scary and congested during lunch hours. If you really need a quiet place for lunch, a break from the crowds, do consider Oishi. Of course you have to pay more, but...sometimes silence and tranquility is precious. Oh, come at 1130am. Early lunch.
