This Japanese restaurant is located in Causeway Bay and now already in its 11 year anniversary, and throughout the years remained one of the more popular yakitori place in town. With a simplistic decor, tables which are small with virtually no space in between, one would not call it comfortable but it did recreate the same atmosphere of everyone crowding together for some good food and beer like similar restaurants in Japan.We ordered a few yakitori to start, first was the signature Homemade Min
This Japanese restaurant is located in Causeway Bay and now already in its 11 year anniversary, and throughout the years remained one of the more popular yakitori place in town. With a simplistic decor, tables which are small with virtually no space in between, one would not call it comfortable but it did recreate the same atmosphere of everyone crowding together for some good food and beer like similar restaurants in Japan.
Then we had the Chicken Wings ($32 x2), grilled nicely and seasoned with sea salt to highlight the original and authentic flavors of the chicken. Again a good yakitori.
We also took the recommendation of the staff and ordered a Grilled Abalone ($168). The size was reasonable with the price, and was grilled nicely, with a buttery note and seasoned with sauce so there was no need to use any dipping sauce. The texture of the abalone was tender, not rubbery at all. Another good one.
The other pork skewer was one that the restaurant invented and so famous for, Lychee Wrapped with Pork ($33 x2). The fragrance of the lychee and sweetness, along with the savory of the pork, again offered a nice match but if comparing with the earlier oyster wrapped with bacon this one was not as strong on the flavors contrast. Still good nevertheless.
The quality of the Smelt Fish ($22 x2) was however not satisfactory. Though grilled beautifully with a slightly crispy bite, the seasoning was really too salty, even if you had some beer to wash it down. A slip probably by the chef during food preparation.
The last skewer was Japanese Mini Sweet Potatoes ($25 x2). Each stick got three pieces, and they were sweet in taste, and you could tell the sweet potatoes were of good quality. By the time we finished this we were quite full already.
Overall the service was good and friendly, and the bill was $859. Fairly reasonable in price, considering the location, food quality and service, no wonder the restaurant could still survive in this heated and highly competitive environment for 11 years.
